VeryDarkMan, the popular Nigerian social media activist, has responded to the backlash over his invitation to the Nigerian Bar Association conference by dressing up as a lawyer in a satirical video. In the three-and-a-half-minute clip, he adopts a lawyer's wig, gown, and dark sunglasses, while making sarcastic remarks about his attendance at the NBA conference.
The video parodies legal proceedings, with Otse addressing himself as a lawyer and criticizing those who judged him unsuitable for the event. He highlights his experience and advocacy on insecurity as reasons for his invitation, ultimately mocking the criticism by referencing a fictional clause from the "VDM constitution" and joking about the conference's topic.
The video features Otse's "learned friends" and portrays him as representing a man who claims to have been wrongly profiled. The controversy surrounding Otse's participation in the NBA conference stems from his claims about insecurity and alleged police officer kidnapping activities, for which he was invited for questioning by the police.
While he did not directly address the criticism in the video, Otse used the lawyer costume and mock courtroom setting to satirize the dispute.
