  • Verydarkman torn as Happie Boys ask for help apologizing to OPM Pastor

    Verydarkman torn as Happie Boys ask for help apologizing to OPM Pastor

    Nigerian activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan is torn whether to help Nigerian dance and content creators Matthew Precious Kelechi and Amakor Johnson, better known as the Happie Boys apologize to the pastor of OPM, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere.

    Recall late last year there was a brouhaha that shook the internet of two boys (Happie Boys) who were taken abroad to study but turned back to publicly disrespected Apostle Chibuzor, the very benefactor who had supported them and even financed their studies abroad.

    This saga got the attention of VDM who criticized the boys behavior and told them to apologize to the OPM pastor.

    In recent development, they acknowledged their transgression, saying they had tried to contact the OPM pastor to ask for forgiveness and had acted on Verydarkman’s instruction. They asserted, nonetheless, that they required VDM’s assistance to go with them to Apostle Chibuzor’s church so they could make atonement in person.

    Verydarkman was moved by the boys’ heartfelt plea and, on Friday, September 6th, 2024, he took to social media to express his conflicted feelings about supporting them.
