VeryDarkMan Warns Tonto Dikeh Over School Deliverance, Says Children Shouldn’t Be Used For Spiritual Content

Social media influencer Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has criticized Nollywood actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh after she led a deliverance session at a school during an evangelism outreach.

Tonto Dikeh shared videos showing her praying for a female student, explaining that she sensed a “spirit of death” around the school and felt compelled to intervene. She described the session as an effort to protect the student and the school community.

In response, VeryDarkMan took to social media to condemn the act, warning the actress not to involve children from his community in such spiritual demonstrations.

He wrote:

“With all due respect to Tonto Dikeh, this is a warning: do not come to my area to do this again. Na only poor man children good to test your powers. Leave my area kids alone. We want to raise kids with real-life orientation, not an ideology that if you don’t make it, there is something following you from the village. Prayers are good; however, without work, prayers are not useful. Take your new content somewhere else. Leave ghetto kids alone.”

VeryDarkMan added that the school is in his area and argued that children should not be used for content creation or spiritual performances.

The comments have sparked debate online, with many Nigerians expressing differing views on the involvement of children in religious activities and the role of spiritual interventions in schools.
