On July 15, 2026, popular social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, paid a courtesy visit to the palace of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo in Osun State. The visit followed a video call invitation during which they discussed national progress, transparency, and efforts to combat corruption. VeryDarkMan was welcomed with a red carpet procession, cheering supporters, and traditional rites that showcased the rich cultural heritage of Iwo.

It's interesting to see a social media activist honoured at a royal court, but I wonder if this signals real influence or just a public relations move.

Recognising online activists with royal receptions sounds flashy, yet I doubt it changes everyday challenges communities face in Osun State.

Perhaps organising collaborative community projects between the palace and VeryDarkMan's network could turn this courtesy visit into tangible benefits for local residents.
