Deji Adeyanju, lawyer to popular social media critic VeryDarkMan, has stirred controversy with a candid post advising his client to avoid taking unnecessary risks.

In a post on X, Adeyanju revealed that he regularly cautions VeryDarkMan about the consequences of his actions, but his advice is often ignored.

He further warned that should anything happen to the outspoken critic, public interest would quickly fade, noting that Nigerians tend to move on swiftly from individual matters.

Adeyanju wrote, “I call VDM every time to be careful and stop taking unnecessary risks but he doesn’t listen most of the time. If anything happens to you today, everyone has moved on by tomorrow. We only overrate ourselves, Nigerians don’t rate anybody.”
