Mr Jollof Speaks Out After Airport Clash With VDM — “No Bruises, No Swellings”
Nigerian social critic and media personality, Mr Jollof, has broken his silence after he and activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) were detained at the Airport Police Command earlier today following a physical altercation at Asaba International Airport.
A video currently circulating on social media shows Mr Jollof immediately after his release. In the clip, he confidently displays his face to the camera, insisting he has no swelling or visible injuries, despite the heated clash with VDM.
The brief detention of both men has stirred massive reactions online, with Nigerians debating who was at fault and why the confrontation escalated so quickly in a public space.
What Really Happened?
According to reports, tensions between Mr Jollof and VDM boiled over at the airport, leading to a messy confrontation that required police intervention. Both men were taken to the Delta State Airport Police Command, questioned, and later released.
While the exact trigger of the fight remains unclear, their long-standing social media disagreements appear to have finally spilled into the real world.
⭐ Opinion: The Fight No One Asked For — But Everyone Is Talking About
Let’s be honest: Nigerians love drama, especially when it involves two outspoken personalities who never shy away from controversy. But there’s also a deeper issue here — when influencers, activists, and public figures resort to physical confrontation, it sends the wrong message.
Both Mr Jollof and VDM are influential voices with massive followings. People look up to them for commentary, entertainment, and advocacy. So seeing them trade blows in an airport — a highly regulated and public environment — is disappointing.
Their platforms give them power. Their voices shape conversations. Yet moments like this remind us how quickly public figures can lose control of the narrative they worked hard to build.
On the brighter side, Mr Jollof’s calm update and denial of injuries suggest the matter may not be as explosive as social media speculated. But the fact remains: Nigeria has enough problems — we don’t need our commentators fighting like characters in an action movie.
Maybe this incident will push both men to reflect, cool tensions, and resolve disputes with the same energy they use to address national issues. Because if there’s anything Nigerians love more than drama, it is accountability.
For now, the internet is watching — and waiting to see what the next chapter of this saga brings.
