VDM's lawyer reacts to Peller's video

Peller's comments triggered a reaction from Verydarkman's lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, who lambasted the TikTok star for telling Nigerians how to express their frustration.

"Who’s this boy saying people should not rant on TikTok? Is TikTok your father’s house? Shouldn’t you be in school instead of on TikTok? Are you not too young to be doing TikTok? You have no right whatsoever to tell Nigerians how to express their frustration," Adeyanju wrote in a tweet.

The trending rant challenge on TikTok has seen several Nigerians, including Cynthia Morgan, aka Madrina, expressing their frustrations over economic hardship in the country.

The challenge was started by NYSC member Ushie Uguamaye, who called Tinubu a “terrible president” over the hardship in the country.
