Falz raises serious dust on social media

For many young Nigerians who may not know, Tompolo is not just a name you hear in passing. He is one of the most powerful figures to ever emerge from the Niger Delta, and his story is far from ordinary.

Back in 2005, Tompolo joined the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force (NDPVF), a militant group that took up arms against the Nigerian Army deep within the creeks of the Niger Delta. After gaining experience and influence, he went on to create his own formidable militia — the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). Tompolo didn’t just lead this group; he equipped it with weapons and ammunition, commanding thousands of fighters who launched a fierce campaign against oil companies and government forces. They successfully shut down pipelines, crippled oil production, and held control over vast swathes of the Delta’s waterways.

For years, MEND clashed with the Nigerian military, and despite repeated offensives, the army struggled to overcome them. By 2009, the government under President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua decided negotiation was wiser than war. They offered Tompolo and his fighters amnesty, bringing an uneasy peace to the region and allowing oil companies to resume operations.

The story didn’t end there. In 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari tried to revive the crackdown. He ordered Tompolo’s arrest, hoping to finally put an end to his dominance. Once again, Tompolo’s loyal fighters — popularly known as the Egbesu Boys — stood their ground. The conflict dragged on until Buhari’s government was left with little choice but to return to the negotiating table. Eventually, the federal government reinstated a multi-billion naira security contract with Tompolo — a contract that still exists today.

Beyond militancy, Tompolo holds deep cultural influence. He is the high priest and chief worshipper of the river goddess Egbesu, a spiritual figure that many in the region believe protected him throughout his battles.

Despite his reputation and wealth — he is quietly a billionaire — Tompolo remains rooted in the creeks, far from the public eye. He does not parade on social media, nor does he seek online fame. His power lies in action, not talk. When Tompolo makes a move, it’s real, not for show.

This story is public record. It is not hidden, and it speaks volumes about a man whose legacy still shapes the Niger Delta today.

Good Job.

Air Peace fulfill promise as they evacuated 78 Nigerian women free of charge from the Félix Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire back to Nigeria . This is after Verydarkman raised awareness of the issue some month ago.

Yesterday evening, VDM took an emergency flight from Abuja to Lagos to join Sir Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace, and officials from NAPTIP in welcoming over 70 trafficked Nigerian girls returning from Ivory Coast.

As a concerned citizen, VDM has used his platform to raise awareness about human trafficking, which brought about collaborations with Sir Allen Onyema and NAPTIP.

According to VDM, Sir Allen Onyema provided an Air Peace aircraft free of charge to bring these victims home safely. In doing so, he incurred significant financial losses of over ₦300 million, due to delays in the girls' travel schedule. In addition, he covered the cost of medical checkups for all the victims.

NAPTIP also fulfilled its role by ensuring these girls were located and safely repatriated.

To the naysayers, why do you hate VDM and what he stands for? Why do you despise someone who speaks up for the common man? Why do you oppose the work he does to protect and uplift vulnerable Nigerians?
