VeryDarkMan launches NGO to reform public education, seeks support

Nigerian activist and social critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has launched a new NGO aimed at reforming the country’s public education sector through the involvement of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.

In a detailed statement shared on social media, Otse expressed his concerns about the current state of Nigeria’s education system, contrasting it with the past.

He explained that there was a time when education was engaging, and students were eager to attend classes because young, vibrant individuals were employed as teachers by the government.

He lamented the decline in the quality of education today, attributing it to the fact that older, less dynamic teachers now dominate the classrooms.

According to Otse, this shift has made learning dull, causing students to lose interest and become disengaged.

The activist emphasized the importance of mentorship, explaining that young students naturally seek role models.

In the absence of positive figures to look up to, they may turn to negative influences, such as cultism.

To address these challenges, Otse revealed that his NGO aims to deploy intelligent and capable NYSC members to public schools in Abuja, where they will engage students in various activities designed to enhance their intelligence and overall academic experience. His ultimate goal is to restructure Nigeria’s public education system.

However, Otse acknowledged that he cannot achieve this alone.

He appealed to the public for support, stating that he lacks the funds to pay the NYSC members who will be teaching.

To address this, he plans to provide an NGO account number for donations, promising full transparency regarding how the funds are utilized.

Otse concluded by pledging to keep all supporters informed and ensure that every donation is accounted for.
