Netizens Reacts To VeryDarkMan’s NGO ₦180m Hack Claim—-In an Instagram video shared on Friday, Otse claimed that ₦180 million had been transferred to an unknown account, leaving just ₦20 million remaining.

Thecloudngr reports that social media commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan is facing scrutiny after claiming that ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO account in a hacking incident.

In an Instagram video shared on Friday, Otse claimed that ₦180 million had been transferred to an unknown account, leaving just ₦20 million remaining.

However, his explanation has raised doubts, with many questioning its credibility.

Expressing doubt, Dr J, tweeting as #truebenny001, asked, “Was the money in the website or the bank?”

Basito, tweeting as #Itzbasito, remarked, “VeryDarkMan said ₦180m is missing from the ₦200m donation for his NGO. See scope o, like say we be primary school students.”

Mas Dinero, tweeting as #Mas_Dinero_, expressed disbelief, saying, “₦180 million don vanish just like that? Omo, hackers or no hackers, na who get mind dey this NGO? Because this story no clear o. Money wey no be yours dey waka anyhow? Better call EFCC; this drama don pass ordinary.”

Another user, Mikay (#stephen_mikay), added, “Lol. It is not possible! Banks set limits to certain transactions. ₦180m cannot go out of a bank account at once without verbal confirmation from the signatories!”

Some critics highlighted Otse’s history of scrutinising others.

Star Girl (#lil_maamiiii) tweeted, “If it were someone else sharing this VeryDarkMan story, by now he would have set his ring light, with his dirty sachet water and black singlet, analysing God knows what. Lmaooo.”

Datoyo (#heyitzpearl) echoed the sentiment, saying, “Lol. If it were someone else, he would’ve worn a singlet, carried sachet water, set his phone, and pressed record.”

Adding humour, God, anonymously tweeting as #BRILLIANT_ARIN, said, “VeryDarkMan said they hacked and stole ₦180m from his NGO website lmao. That’s a familiar method: set camera, blow up, then begin to use foolish scope for the fools who are their stan/audience.”

In the face of backlash, some users highlighted the importance of cybersecurity.

Vincent The Therapist (#mrhighfoster) noted, “This is why cybersecurity should be taken seriously in Nigeria. When you know you have a public account receiving a large amount of money, you should enforce its security.

“Now you see why cybersecurity is in high demand all over the world. It’s to prevent issues like this from happening. It’s a very valuable skill to learn for 2025.”

The controversy continues as netizens demand further clarification on the incident, with many questioning the veracity of Otse’s account.

How Sterling Bank Uses Tiered Salary Structure to Hold Down Staff Without Promotion

How Sterling Bank Uses Tiered Salary Structure to Hold Down Staff Without Promotion—-Sterling Bank’s recent 7% salary increase which was announced earlier this month has been met with widespread criticism and disappointment among its employees, who feel undervalued, overworked, and underappreciated.

According to sources, the bank’s Executive Trainees (ETs) will receive a monthly raise of ₦24,000, from ₦327,000 to ₦351,000, while Senior Executives will receive a monthly raise of ₦27,000, from ₦500,000 to ₦527,000.

Employees have expressed frustration and disappointment with the raise, citing the bank’s failure to keep up with Nigeria’s soaring inflation rate.

The tired salary structure of the bank has sparked a crisis of morale and motivation among Sterling Bank’s staff, with employee engagement and productivity hitting an all-time low. This has significant implications for the bank’s business, as customer satisfaction is likely to suffer.

In contrast, other banks in the industry have taken a more aggressive approach to salary increases. Union Bank and GTBank raised salaries by 40% in late 2024, in a bid to retain top talent in an industry plagued by high employee turnover and poaching.

Research shows that competitive salaries are key to reducing employee attrition in Nigeria’s banking industry. Sterling Bank’s failure to deliver on this front may have far-reaching consequences for its business.

All attempt to get Sterling Bank’s management to respond as at press time proves abortive, but insiders say that the bank’s leadership is aware of the growing discontent among its employees.

As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Sterling Bank’s employees will not be silenced, and they will continue to demand a fair and living wage.
