Lazarus Muoka Claims VeryDarkMan Faces Consequences For Criticising Lord’s Chosen Church
Lazarus Muoka, the founder of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, has made a bold claim, stating that popular social media critic, VeryDarkMan, is currently “learning the hard way” after making negative remarks about the church.
The pastor’s comments come amidst ongoing controversy surrounding VeryDarkMan’s involvement in the investigation into alleged bribery claims involving social media influencer Bobrisky and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Recently, VeryDarkMan appeared before a joint committee of the Nigerian House of Representatives investigating an alleged audio leak involving Bobrisky. In the leaked recording, Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to avoid charges related to money laundering.

The audio further suggested that Bobrisky had not served a six-month prison sentence as previously claimed, raising public outcry and prompting the investigation.
In response to the controversy, Pastor Muoka, in a trending video, referenced a statement by VeryDarkMan, who had previously criticised members of The Lord’s Chosen church. According to Muoka, VeryDarkMan had suggested that the church’s followers would “learn the hard way” following their controversial testimonies and the viral phrase “I am chosen,” which became a subject of widespread debate on social media.
In his video, Muoka said, “Somebody came to tell me that one man called VeryDarkMan said Chosen people will learn something the hard way. And I said no, Chosen will not learn something the hard way, he is the one that will learn the hard way. What is happening today? He is the one learning something the hard way.”
The pastor’s remarks seem to suggest that the current investigation involving VeryDarkMan may be a form of retribution for his previous criticism of the church.
The controversy surrounding VeryDarkMan’s remarks and his involvement in the investigative hearing has reignited discussions about the influence of social media personalities in shaping public opinion, as well as the impact of religious organizations in Nigerian society.
Bobrisky, alongside representatives from the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), also attended the House of Representatives hearing on Monday, as the investigation into the alleged bribery continues to unfold.
As this story develops, many are left questioning the validity of the claims made in the leaked audio, and what potential consequences may arise from the ongoing investigation.

Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington or Akpi, has been released from Kuje Prison following a court directive.
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju disclosed this development on Tuesday, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
The singer’s release came after an Abuja court granted him bail. This decision followed intense public pressure on the Nigeria Police Force, which led to his arraignment.

Prior to his release, Speed Darlington had petitioned Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, over his prolonged detention. He called on the DIG to comply with a court order directing his release or formal arraignment.
Justice M.S. Liman had earlier issued an order on December 23, 2024, mandating the police to charge the singer within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
Speed Darlington’s arrest stemmed from allegations he made against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy. The singer accused Burna Boy of being involved in an immoral relationship with embattled U.S. rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
The situation has sparked widespread discussions, with many Nigerians expressing relief at Speed Darlington’s freedom while others continue to debate the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Dele Odule, has opened up about the most heartbreaking moment of his life, revealing it was when he lost his first child.

Odule described the tragic news as “very hard” to bear, adding that he has since come to accept it as the will of God. Despite the acceptance, the actor expressed his fervent hope never to endure such a devastating tragedy again.
He said, “The saddest moment of my life was when I was called that my first child died. It was very hard on me. It was hard because of the situation faced during the child’s birth, but no one can question God’s authority. It was so bad that I don’t pray for it anymore.”
Known for his roles in classic Yoruba films, Odule continues to share both his professional and personal experiences, endearing himself to fans and colleagues alike.
In early January 2025, Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy fulfilled a promise by gifting $30,000 to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer from Alaba Market who had claimed to be related to socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
This act of generosity occurred amid an ongoing feud between Burna Boy and the Cubana Chief Priest.

Following the donation, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that Bethel Okechukwu is not his brother, stating, “I have only one biological big brother & two kid sisters. They ain’t doing so bad.” He emphasized that he is not obligated to support his siblings financially and urged the public to verify such claims.
As of now, there are no credible reports indicating that Burna Boy instructed Bethel Okechukwu to take any specific actions towards Cubana Chief Priest after receiving the $30,000. The narrative appears to be centered around Burna Boy’s charitable gesture and Cubana Chief Priest’s subsequent clarification regarding his familial relationships.
