“Your father is old, those around him have dusty brains with cobwebs” – VeryDarkMan to Seyi Tinubu
Online personality and activist, VeryDarkMan, has boldly called out Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s president, describing the president as old and accusing those around him of having “dusty brains filled with cobwebs” during his trip to China.
This statement was contained in a lengthy post currently making waves on popular social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, where VeryDarkMan shared his experience after visiting China.
After spending hours in China and witnessing the country’s remarkable advancements in technology and innovation, VeryDarkMan released a video directly addressing the president, his son Seyi Tinubu, and the president’s associates.
He expressed that Nigeria’s development is being hindered by the outdated thinking of the older generation in power, who, according to him, lack the vision to introduce innovative ideas that could transform the nation.
VeryDarkMan particularly addressed Seyi Tinubu, noting that as a young person with direct access to power, he has a unique opportunity to drive change.
He urged Seyi to learn from the progress in other parts of the world and advocate for similar advancements in Nigeria.
Part of his statement reads: “Seyi Tinubu, I feel the need to say this to you. Your father is old, and the people around him have dusty brains filled with cobwebs.”
“I don’t mean this as an insult, but I know exactly where I’m going with this. You are the closest the youth have ever been to power, and there are so many things you can help us achieve.”
“Coming to China has opened my eyes to endless possibilities that Nigeria can emulate. Honestly, I feel like we need a train that brings every Nigerian here and takes them back, just so their eyes can be opened.”
“There’s so much potential in Nigeria that’s being wasted because the old men in power can’t see it — but you, Seyi Tinubu, you can see it because you have the privilege of coming here and witnessing it firsthand.”
As VeryDarkMan’s statement circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and reactions.
