Popular billionaire entrepreneur Obi Cubana and controversial social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), have reconciled after months of public tension, putting an end to one of last year’s most talked-about online feuds.
The reconciliation took place at a recent event in Abuja, where both men were seen exchanging greetings and sharing a warm embrace. A video of the moment quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread attention and surprising many Nigerians who recalled the intensity of their earlier clash.
The rift between the duo reportedly started when Obi Cubana criticised the role of blogs and social media in encouraging what he described as disrespect for elders. The comments were widely perceived as a subtle jab at VDM, whose activism is often marked by blunt and confrontational commentary.
VDM responded forcefully at the time, accusing the businessman of hypocrisy and launching personal attacks that fuelled a heated online exchange. Their supporters also joined the fray, turning the disagreement into a high-profile social media battle.
However, in the now-viral video from Abuja, both men appeared calm and cordial, smiling and engaging in brief conversation, suggesting that their differences had been settled privately.
Online reactions have been mixed but largely positive, with many users expressing surprise and relief at the reconciliation. Some described the moment as proof that peace is priceless, while others admitted they did not see the truce coming.
Whether carefully planned or spontaneous, the reunion signals a clear message: Obi Cubana and VeryDarkMan have moved past their disagreements, showing that even bitter online rivalries can give way to reconciliation.
