VeryDarkMan Reflects on Near-Death Experience During #EndSARS Protest

 

Martins Vincent Otse

In a heartfelt reflection, VeryDarkMan recounts a life-changing moment during the #EndSARS protests of October 2020. Amidst chaos at Berger Bridge, he found himself in the thick of it—facing armed attackers with nothing but a 2x2 stick in hand and sheer courage in his heart. While others hesitated, he leapt forward to confront the troublemakers, only to realize he was alone.


A dagger swung dangerously close to his face, but luck or, as he puts it, his ancestors had his back that day. 💥 With quick thinking and bravery, he fought off his attackers, eventually sparking a wave of courage from the crowd. One of the attackers fell as the tide turned, and the rest scattered.


This wasn't a fight for clout or fame; it was a struggle for justice blood, sweat, and years of patriotism fueling him. He even carried a glass shard from that day in his finger for over two years as a reminder of the price he paid. Now, with the glass gone, the scars remain, both physical and emotional, representing a deeper love for Nigeria and its fight against oppression. 💪🇳🇬


Let’s give this man his flowers for standing up when it mattered most! 🌹
