VeryDarkMan Challenges Apostle Arome's Teachings Online

Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), addressed criticism regarding his remarks about Apostle Arome in a video posted on September 27, 2026. VDM had previously mocked Apostle Arome's facial palsy and contested a sermon where the pastor claimed Nigeria's national calling is revival and prayer, rather than technological advancement.

VDM's comments drew mixed reactions, with some supporting his critique while others condemned his mockery of the pastor's physical condition. He specifically reacted to the announcement of Apostle Arome and his wife's permanent relocation, finding it contradictory to the pastor's message about Nigeria's spiritual calling.

VDM cited successful entrepreneurs in the United States to argue that prosperity stems from innovation rather than solely from prayer. His video included pointed messages directed at both his followers and Apostle Arome, further igniting the debate surrounding the pastor's teachings and Nigeria's identity.
