- Nigerian social media activist Verydarkman shared his two cents on the ongoing crisis between Aliko Dangote and the government
- Recall that the prominent Nigerian billionaire recently talked about selling the oil refinery he reportedly built for $20bn amid the country's economic situation
- VDM, in a viral video, criticised the tycoon as he offered pieces of advice he could use against the government
Nigerian social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM), has weighed in on the crisis billionaire Aliko Dangote is having with the country's government.
Aliko Dangote, president of the Dangote Group, earlier stated that the corporation received no incentives from either the federal government or Lagos state for the development of its $20 billion refinery in the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

He made the disclosure during a visit to the refinery by House leadership on Saturday, July 20, led by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
Following that, Africa's richest man expressed his willingness to hand over ownership of his multibillion-dollar oil refinery to the state-owned energy giant Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited.
Verydarkman reacted to the viral video of Dangote's press session, noting how Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government has frustrated the billionaire.
He criticised Dangote's claims of building the refinery to help the country, alleging it was one of his monopoly tricks.
VDM advised the billionaire to review his deal with those in power instead of considering selling his refinery to NNPC.
According to the internet sensation, reaching a consensus with the government might help alleviate his current predicament rather than making an outright decision to sell the refinery.
