VeryDarkMan, also known as Martins Otse, has responded to the backlash surrounding his invitation to the Nigerian Bar Association conference with a satirical video in which he dressed as a lawyer. The three-and-a-half-minute video parodied legal proceedings, with Otse appearing in a black barrister’s gown, white neck tabs, a wig, and dark sunglasses.
He referred to himself as a lawyer and made sarcastic remarks about his appearance at the NBA conference, titled "Be Your Limit." Otse claimed that his experience and advocacy on insecurity qualified him to participate in the discussion, defending his invitation despite some questioning why he was invited to an event organized for legal professionals.
In the video, Otse also mocked the criticism he received over his appearance, jokingly referring to the conference topic as "Non-gun man." The video featured two other men who Otse introduced as his "learned friends," while continuing with the mock courtroom act. The controversy over Otse's participation in the NBA conference has been ongoing, with senior lawyer Femi Falana rejecting the justification for his invitation, arguing that experience could not substitute for professional qualifications required to participate as a speaker at the conference.
