Wednesday, December 3, 2025 - Popular Nigerian social critic Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkman, VDM, has suggested what he described as the “only solution” to the country’s security challenges, particularly terrorism.
In a video clip posted on his official Facebook page on
Monday, VDM blamed the worsening crisis on the lack of education, especially in
the northern part of the country.
He claimed that the majority of those perpetrating terrorism
in Nigeria are from the North, arguing that education would take young men out
of the forests and away from criminal activities.
He said: “The only solution to terrorism is to educate the
Northerners. Any Nigerian leader that will take four years out of his eight
years to educate the North, force education on them have solved terrorism
problems.
“Let them have the knowledge because knowledge is power.
Until then, Nigeria may suffer more in years to come. They don’t go to school
in the North, rather they study religion. That is why the fewer people that are
educated keep using the uneducated as their weapons.
“If I want to start terrorism today, I will go to Madugri,
Zamfara or somewhere. If you go to the North, you see a lot of young people in
the streets begging. You can easily pack ten thousand of them and bring them to
Abuja”.
