Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a popular social media influencer, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of humiliating Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote.
VeryDarkMan claimed Tinubu’s administration led Dangote to tears owing to the difficulties his refinery is facing.

On Saturday, Dangote said that the Nigerian government did not offer him any incentives to build his $20 billion refinery in the Lekki Free Trade Zone.
Dangote told the House of Representatives, chaired by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and his deputy Benjamin Kalu, that he purchased the refinery’s land for $100 million.
He further claimed that various rules imposed by the Nigerian government targeted the refinery’s functionality.
Reacting in a video, VeryDarkMan said: “Tinubu’s regime brought Africa’s richest man, Dangote close to tears during an interview, the economy is so bad that Dangote was reminiscing when his friend cautioned him against investing in Nigeria.
“I watched the interview where he said he bought the land for the refinery with $100,000 million. My question to the Nigerian government is that when he was building the refinery, why wasn’t he told that there was no crude oil for him? After building the refinery, you told him no crude oil is in Delta State, Edo, Imo, Akwa Ibom, and so on.
“Even with him going to Brazil to source crude oil, the high and mighty informed those there that he had no licence, and now he wants to sell it. But the issue is that the money he claimed to have used in building the refinery is public funds and not his personal money.”
