Outspoken activist VeryDarkMan has publicly called out Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s president, urging him to push for technological and infrastructural advancements in the country.
In a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), VeryDarkMan shared his thoughts after visiting China, describing the country’s remarkable progress in innovation and governance. He expressed frustration over Nigeria’s slow development, blaming it on the outdated mindset of the older generation in power.
Key Highlights of His Statement
- He described President Bola Tinubu as old, claiming that those around him have “dusty brains filled with cobwebs.”
- He urged Seyi Tinubu to take advantage of his proximity to power to introduce meaningful change.
- He emphasized that Nigeria has untapped potential, but the leadership lacks the vision to implement transformative ideas.
- He suggested that every Nigerian should visit China to witness what real progress looks like.
“Seyi Tinubu, you are the closest the youth have ever been to power. There are so many things you can help us achieve.”
“There’s so much potential in Nigeria that’s being wasted because the old men in power can’t see it. But you, Seyi, you can see it because you have the privilege of traveling and witnessing real innovation.”
"Your father is old, and the people around him, their brains are dusty with cobwebs"
