Nigerian singer Portable has challenged social media activist VeryDarkMan to explain how Burna Boy’s reported ₦200 million donation for a school project was spent, raising questions about the project’s execution and the use of the funds.
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has questioned social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, over the reported ₦200 million donation by Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy for a school project.
Portable raised the concerns in a video that has drawn attention to the reported donation, challenging the activist to provide clarity on how the funds were utilised and what progress had been made on the proposed school project.
In the video, the controversial singer questioned some of VeryDarkMan’s activities, particularly his decision to paint portraits on a wall. Portable wondered why the activist painted the image of footballer Adebayo instead of Burna Boy, whom he described as the person who provided the money for the project.

“Burna Boy give you money, wetin you use am do? NGO money, where the money dey?” Portable asked in the video.
The singer’s comments centred on the need for transparency and accountability regarding the reported donation, with particular emphasis on how the funds were being used to achieve the stated purpose of building a school.
Portable also questioned why VeryDarkMan included his own portrait in the artwork, arguing that the project was reportedly funded by someone else.

According to the singer, the decision to paint himself rather than the donor raised further questions about the activist’s priorities and the presentation of the project.
“You are fighting for your pocket. Burna Boy give you N200 million plus, make you build school, you go build Ashewo house,” Portable alleged.
The singer’s remarks included a sharp accusation about the intended use of the funds. However, his statements represent allegations made in the video and do not, on their own, establish that the money was misused.
The controversy has brought renewed attention to the reported financial support for the school project and the importance of transparency when public figures, charitable organizations or social media activists receive substantial donations for humanitarian initiatives.
Large donations intended for community development projects often attract public scrutiny, particularly when supporters and donors expect the money to produce measurable results. Clear information about project costs, construction progress, expenditure and timelines can help address questions and build public confidence.

As of the information available in the account of Portable’s remarks, no detailed financial breakdown or independent evidence was provided to substantiate his allegation that the funds had been diverted from their intended purpose.
VeryDarkMan’s response to Portable’s specific accusations was also not included in the account.
The development has added another layer to the public discussion surrounding the reported donation by Burna Boy and the school project associated with VeryDarkMan. Further clarification from the activist or the organization involved could help establish the project’s current status and address questions about how the funds were allocated.
