Social critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to soldiers, policemen, customs and immigration personnel over the comments he made about security agents at the recently held Nigerian Bar Association’s 66th Annual General Conference.

VeryDarkMan made the apology in a video shared on Friday after reflecting on his speech where he referred to the military, police, immigration and customs personnel as “unknown gunmen” during a discussion on insecurity.

He said he realised that the comment was unfair to security personnel who were risking their lives to protect Nigerians, particularly soldiers fighting Boko Haram and other threats. He explained that his criticism was directed at alleged corruption, sabotage and information leaks by some individuals within the security agencies, rather than the personnel as a whole.

He acknowledged, however, that the manner in which he made the point amounted to a generalisation that could undermine the sacrifices of security personnel who had d!ed in the line of duty.

“That speech was not fair, especially to the soldiers that are in the bushes fighting Boko Haram to protect our lands, to protect our lives, and to protect our families.’’

He went on to address the Chief of Defence Staff and other security authorities, asking that his apology be conveyed to personnel serving in difficult and dangerous conditions.

“So I will go further to say to the Chief of Defence Staff, Sir, I really want to apologise for that speech, and I don’t want to discourage your boys. Please extend my apologies to your boys, to the ones that are in the bush protecting our lands.

To the families of these heroes that might have also felt offended by this speech, knowing fully well that their brother, their sister, their son, their husband fought and died for this country, I am really, really sorry,” he said

The convoy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Borno State, Engr. Mustapha Gubio, has been ambushed by suspected Boko Haram terrorists.

DailyTrust reports that the incident occurred on Thursday evening, September 3, as the candidate and his entourage were returning to Maiduguri after a thank-you visit to the border town of Damasak, a border town that is about 190km from Maiduguri, the state capital.

A security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that the insurgents had planted landmines along the Gubio-Kareto-Damasak highway.

He said the police armoured vehicle leading the convoy unfortunately ran over one of the explosive devices, triggering a blast.

“We entered Damasak safely and spent about 40 minutes there. On our way back, the insurgents planted mines on the road, and the armoured vehicle that led the convoy drove over it and exploded,” the source said.

Following the explosion, the terrorists attempted to ambush the convoy.

However, a combined team of gallant security operatives, comprising the military, police, and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), swiftly responded, engaging the attackers in a fierce gunfight.

The report states that while the security operatives successfully repelled the attack and prevented further damage or casualties to the main convoy, the police armoured vehicle suffered severe destruction from the bomb blast.

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has called out fellow rapper Blaqbonez over his alleged past involvement with his girlfriend.

Odumodublvck made the allegations in a series of posts on X, claiming Blaqbonez contacted him to reveal that they had previously been “friends with benefits” before he started dating the woman.

According to Odumodublvck, Blaqbonez was wrong to tell him about their past instead of allowing his girlfriend to decide when or whether to disclose it herself.

“Who are you to take away her liberty to tell me if you no wan spoil her life?” he wrote.

He also alleged that Blaqbonez had previously threatened, bullied and harassed his girlfriend, while questioning why the rapper later contacted him to ask why he did not attend a show hosted by Jeriq.

In another post, Odumodublvck claimed Blaqbonez told him he was only checking on his welfare before asking why he was angry with him and whether it was because of his girlfriend.

He quoted Blaqbonez as allegedly saying: “Why you dey vex for me like this? Na because of your babe? She no tell you wetin we be before?”

Odumodublvck also accused Blaqbonez of portraying a different narrative about himself, while alleging that he had contacted her friends, pleaded and cried over her despite not loving her.

An Air Peace flight was disrupted for some time on Thursday, September 3, after a female passenger refused to disembark after discovering her seat was assigned to another female passenger.

According to Nigerian actor Kevin Mike, who witnessed the incident, the woman had boarded the flight and, upon walking to the seat assigned to her, discovered it had also been assigned to another female passenger who was already seated. Kevin said the woman refused to disembark, insisting she must be allowed to fly.

Kevin said Air Peace staff reportedly made an announcement asking if any passenger would be willing to volunteer to take the next available flight in exchange for a 50% discount.

He said no passenger initially agreed, causing the flight to be delayed as both women refused to disembark.

Kevin said the flight finally took off after two men accepted the airline's offer.

You are told that your ancestors came from a single pair of people who looked nothing like you. Your skin color, your hair texture, your features are not part of the original design. They are explained as later variations or curses. Your history, your culture, your genetic lineage are all secondary to a story that centers a different race. That is not just inaccurate. It is psychologically damaging.

This story has been used to justify colonization, slavery, and the erasure of indigenous identities across the globe. It tells you that your ancestors were cursed, that your features are a mark of sin, that your civilization was lesser. And it does all of this while claiming to be divine.

The scientific reality is clear. Humanity did not start with two people of any one race. Human evolution took place across multiple regions, with diverse populations developing over hundreds of thousands of years. Race is a social construct, not a biblical fact. Believing you came from a single pair of white or Middle Eastern ancestors when you are Black is not faith. It is erasure. And it has been weaponized for centuries.

That is exactly why other races chose to have their own religions and their own gods who look like them. They understood that a god who does not look like you cannot save you. He can only colonize you. And the god of the Bible has been colonizing Black people since the first missionary set foot on the continent. That is not salvation. That is a continuation of the same theft. And it is time to stop pretending otherwise.
