Verydarkman (VDM) has taken his beef with Apostle Arome Osayi to the streets of China literally.

The Ratel president posted a satirical Instagram video on Sunday, 27 September 2026, walking through a bustling, upscale shopping district in China packed with Apple Store, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci and other global luxury brands.

The clip was a pointed response to Apostle Arome Osayi's position that Nigeria is divinely called to export prayers and revival to the rest of the world.

Adopting a mock-evangelical tone throughout, VDM prayed loudly over China's smooth roads, gleaming storefronts and throngs of tourists, framing himself as a Nigerian missionary on a sacred exchange mission.

His logic, delivered with deadpan fervour: Nigeria will send prayers, and in return, China will send good roads.

He pointed his camera at the Apple Store and declared that "with prayers," the brand would arrive in Nigeria "very soon."

The controversial personality laid hands on the Chinese road and announced he was on behalf of all Nigerians to "exchange prayers for good road."

He then turned his attention to Gucci, commanding it to "appear in Wuse," before ordering Tom Ford to materialise in "Nekorodoo" within three days and Balenciaga to show up in Kano.

His wider argument, wrapped in satire, was blunt: China attracts billions in tourism revenue each year not because of faith but because of creativity, infrastructure and investment. Nigeria, he argued, has none of those draws because its people are too occupied praying instead of building.

"A lot of you will never see Louis Vuitton till you die in Nigeria," he said. "You know why? Because they rely on prayer and these people rely on hard work."

Bobrisky had listed the amount he got from his friends in an appreciation note, and VDM slammed all of them.

The activist had called out Don Jazzy, Funke Akindele, and others who gave millions to Bobrisky. Radiogad dragged him for being noisy in others' affairs.
