VDM Criticized for Burna Boy's ₦250M School Project Quality

VeryDarkMan, known as VDM, has received criticism following the unveiling of a school project funded by Afrobeats star Burna Boy in Odiokwu, Ahoada West Local Government Area. The project, which reportedly cost ₦250 million, has drawn scrutiny from Nigerians questioning whether the facility's appearance justifies such a significant investment.

Critics, including social media users and human rights activists, have labeled the structure as substandard, citing issues with the physical blocks, roofing, and finishes. Some have suggested that the building resembles a basic renovation rather than a new construction.

Comparisons have been made to school projects executed by local politicians, raising concerns about why a project associated with a large sum appears modest. Earlier, VDM had shared that ₦50 million was allocated for a mural and graffiti for the school and clinic project, expressing excitement about the artwork and praising the artists involved.
