In the wake of one man's (Mohbad) tragic death, another man known only as VDM rose from obscurity to command the attention of millions. But behind the viral videos and provocative rants lies a dangerous playbook: sensationalism over substance, ego over empathy, and manipulation over truth. This long-form critique dissects VDM's tactics through the lens of media theory, misogyny studies, and the failures of Nigerian institutions. It examines how his rhetoric, arrogance, and vendettas, especially against actress Iyabo Ojo, thrive in a society where the justice system is broken and public trust in credible information is shattered.
