The villainization of VDM is very unfair - Opeyemi Famakin

While chatting with Nigerian food and wine critic Opeyemi Famakin, he explained how the media portrays the social critic, Very Dark Man, in a negative light.

Opeyemi said:

"The media portray very dark man in a negavte light and I think it's unfair. As much as I'm not his biggest fan, I do consume his content and although he say polarizing things sometimes, there is a lot of sense in 17 out of 20 things that he says. However, Tunde Ednut is the only blog that potrays all sides of VDM.
