Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has responded to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar III’s recent comments about social media.
The Sultan had described social media as a “terrorist organization” in a viral video, citing its potential to spread false narratives and destabilize society.
“Social media is a terrorist organization. What they do; somebody will sit down in his comfort zone and formulate stories, and you will discover that it is not true,” the Sultan stated.
However, VDM disagrees, arguing that the Sultan’s comments are offensive to individuals like himself who have leveraged social media for good.
