Content creator King Mitchy has publicly addressed social commentator VeryDarkMan (VDM), urging him to take action regarding funds reportedly donated by Nigerians to his non-governmental organisation.
It would be recalled that in 2024, Nigerians raised over ₦350 million for VDM’s NGO. However, concerns have been raised over the absence of a detailed public account of how the funds are being utilised, particularly regarding proposed school renovation projects.
In a statement, Mitchy clarified that she does not dislike VDM but expressed worry that the hundreds of millions of naira donated by supporters have allegedly remained in his bank account for nearly two years without visible progress on renovating schools. She questioned why he continues to produce content centered on trending gossip instead of focusing on the school projects the donations were meant to support. She also offered to assist by providing locations of damaged schools, stating that she would be willing to help identify communities in need if required.
The situation escalated after VDM reacted to Mitchy’s recent school renovation initiative. Mitchy had revealed that she renovated some schools within six days and publicly appreciated Seyi Tinubu for funding the project.

Responding in a video shared on his Instagram page, VDM questioned the motive behind the gesture and suggested it was politically driven ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Seyi Tinubu that has the ears of his father gave you money to renovate a school and you think you are special? You are a political tool,” VDM said.
He further argued that Mitchy should not feel “special” for executing a project funded by someone with direct access to political power.
According to him, if she truly has access to Seyi Tinubu and is aware of failing public schools, she could push for wider government intervention rather than isolated renovations.
VDM also linked the development to the political calendar, saying, “They didn’t give you this money in 2023 or 2024. They are giving you in 2026 when campaign for 2027 is close.”
He stressed that governance should not be reduced to influencer-backed projects, raising concerns about insecurity and economic hardship across parts of the country.
The exchange has since sparked widespread debate online. While some Nigerians argue that charitable efforts should not replace government responsibility, others maintain that renovated schools benefit students regardless of the political timing surrounding the projects.
