Without mincing words, Hundeyin made it clear that he saw VDM as an opportunist. According to him, the online critic started off as a social activist. He said he made up his mind about VDM when there was a terror attack somewhere in Plateau state, and he muddied the narrative.

Hundeyin noted that it was either VDM was an extreme clout chaser who liked the sound of his own voice or he was being sponsored by someone to distort narratives.

Hundeyin said:

“What is your goal? What are you hoping to accomplish by doing that? Especially when you are not in any way informed on the subject. You’re just some guy who put on his phone camera one day and started uploading videos on social media.”

“That's it..He likes the sound of his own voice.”

king_capable23:

“I think it is unfair and unwise to assume he has no knowledge of the community and because he has no qualification, he therefore didn't have any reason to go there. You claim you know what the aim of those attackers are, that's fine, but VDM view too can't be written off either. Two things can be right. Let's stop this.”

"In terms of ideology, I don't think VDM and David Hundeyin are the same. Even though I don't agree with Hundeyin's description of VDM, and I think it was belittling to say the least. However, it is his opinion and he is entitled to it. Also, VDM can defend himself as we have seen over time."
