Social media activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has reacted to the criticism by human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, of his invitation to speak at the Nigerian Bar Association conference.
Otse spoke in a video shared on his social media page on Friday, while reacting to Falana’s comments that the NBA should not invite “somebody from nowhere” to speak on specialised issues such as national security.

According to Otse, Falana’s remarks had made it clearer to him why some people were opposed to his invitation to the conference.
Describing the issue as “classism”, Otse said he believed his invitation had been questioned because of his background and status compared with those attending the conference.
