Why Don Jazzy Donated N100M To VeryDarkMan’s NGO

Music mogul singer Don Jazzy has explained the reason behind his decision to donate N100 million to social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan’s newly launched non-governmental organisation (NGO).

The 41-year-old Don Jazzy explained on his Instagram page Thursday night that he was motivated to support VeryDarkMan’s work because of its focus on humanity.

He added that despite VeryDarkMan not knowing much about his background, he was inspired to help provide public school students with access to advanced education—helping the students build a strong academic foundation.

Don Jazzy stated: “Let it be known that on the 16 October 2024, this man named Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy donated M100 million to give public school kids advanced education to give them a good educational foundation.

“Let it be known that Don Jazzy gave money to someone named Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan because he believes in his work for humanity. I and him (VeryDarkMan) met once, shook hands and that was it. We did not even talk for 1 minute and not to say he knew my background or anything.”

VeryDarkMan revealed on his Instagram that the Mavin Records boss donated N100 million to the NGO’s account.

The new NGO, which aims to enhance the quality of education in Nigeria’s public schools, raised over N35 million in donations within its first 24 hours.

VeryDarkMan launched the NGO on Saturday which aims to revolutionise public education in Nigeria by incorporating modern teaching methods and technologies, including artificial intelligence.

On Sunday, the next day, VeryDarkMan appreciated the public support and donations the NGO received.

During the launch, VeryDarkMan also criticised other NGOs, accusing some of using their platforms to accumulate personal wealth and fund their lifestyles while pretending to help others.

Additionally, VeryDarkMan announced plans to recruit National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to teach in public schools, acknowledging the financial struggles faced by many corps members and their potential to make meaningful contributions to education.
