Defending the Faith: Exposing the Blackmail Campaign Against Nigerian Churches by Mc Orobo
In a recent viral video, popular Nigerian figure MC Orobo passionately addressed the growing blackmail campaign targeting Nigerian churches, led by individuals like Martins Vincent Otse, also known as ‘VeryDarkMan’ (VDM). His message has resonated deeply within the Christian community, as these coordinated attacks aim to undermine the credibility of spiritual leaders and church practices, threatening the unity of Christians across the country.
VeryDarkMan has gained notoriety for his bold criticism of church leaders and practices, recently threatening legal action against the Lord’s Chosen Church over controversial testimonies shared by its members. MC Orobo highlighted this as part of a larger scheme designed to discredit Nigerian churches and questioned why the Christian community has remained largely silent, leaving church leaders like the late Senior Prophet TB Joshua and Prophet Jeremiah Omoto vulnerable to false accusations.
In his video, MC Orobo specifically addressed Otse’s claim that Prophet Omoto was selling "miracle water," which led to an unwarranted investigation by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). Despite the water being from a legitimate source, Globod Table Water, NAFDAC still issued a misleading report, further harming the church’s reputation. MC Orobo emphasized that this kind of attack should not go unchecked, calling for Christians to take a stand.

He also raised a crucial question: Would these individuals dare to launch similar attacks against the spiritual practices of other religions, such as the use of Zam-Zam water in Islam? MC Orobo pointed out that the selective targeting of Christian practices is an alarming sign of deeper issues within society.
The discrediting of spiritual items like holy water, oil, and prayer aprons is not just an attack on individual churches but an assault on the religious traditions that millions of Christians hold dear. As MC Orobo noted, these sacred items are as essential to many denominations as communion bread is to Catholics, symbolizing the body of Christ through consecration.
MC Orobo’s message is clear: Christians must recognize that these attacks are part of a larger strategy to weaken Christianity in Nigeria. The time for silence has passed. He called on the Christian community to unite and resist those who seek to discredit their faith. Additionally, he urged the Nigerian government to take action against these blackmailers, ensuring the protection of religious freedom and the strength of the Christian body.
In his powerful closing remarks, MC Orobo reminded his viewers that an injury to one church is an injury to all. Now is the time for Christians to defend their faith and stand in solidarity against these baseless attacks.
