Nigerians have responded to the trailer for a Nollywood film based on the controversial activist Verydarkman in a variety of ways on social media.
Gentle Jack, a seasoned Nollywood actor, played the vocal activist in the film Very Dark Blackman. The film, which was produced by Anaele Ugochukwu Dominic, has generated a lot of discussion on the internet. Many people have described it as surprising, funny, and even disgusting.
Verydarkman, whose true name is still mostly unknown, gained notoriety in Nigeria for his outspoken criticism of unregistered skincare products.
Later, he became even more well-known for his observations on significant social issues, such as the contentious passing of singer Mohbad.
The release of Verydarkblackman movie has drawn criticism from several social media users, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where opinions have been sharply divided.

mensahtitus5 stated, “Gentle Jack is a veteran in African movie space and shouldn’t have condescended so low to take such role. Quite pathetic!”
AustineAluge1 wrote, “On a second thought, what if they got permission from Verydarkman before shooting the movie? Let’s not get angry. VDM is alive, he can actually see this and sue if it defames his character.”
