Controversial social commentator Verydarkman (VDM) has once again captured the attention of netizens, this time not for his fiery social criticisms but for a playful and unexpected moment in China. A viral video circulating on social media shows VDM engaging in a lighthearted exchange with a young Chinese lady, leaving fans entertained and amused.
In the trending clip, VDM jokingly declared, “You’re my business teacher, I’m your English teacher,” while looking at the lady beside him. The Chinese woman, visibly amused, cheerfully agreed, sparking laughter among viewers. The playful banter between the two has since become a major talking point online, with many praising the humorous side of the outspoken critic.
From controversies to comedy
The moment came as a refreshing shift from VDM’s usual online persona. Known for his heated takes, bold activism, and controversial opinions on Nigerian politics, society, and entertainment, VDM surprised fans by showcasing a lighter, more jovial side of his character. His ability to blend wit with charm made the clip even more engaging.
The fact that the playful exchange happened in China gave the moment extra flavour. The “teacher” remark tied humorously to their environment — with the idea of cultural exchange and learning resonating well with fans who are used to seeing VDM in a much more combative mood.
Why fans loved it
For many, the joke worked not just because of the words but because of the delivery. VDM’s straight-faced, serious tone contrasted perfectly with the young lady’s cheerful response, amplifying the humour. It was the kind of dry wit that translated well across cultures, and the online audience picked up on it instantly.
The clip also humanized VDM further, showing that beyond being a loud critic of corruption and social ills, he can also connect with people in simple, fun ways. The interaction offered a glimpse of his versatility — from sparking outrage to sparking laughter.
Social media reactions
The video quickly exploded across platforms, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where fans dropped hilarious comments and reactions. Many joked about wanting their own “Chinese business teacher,” while others teased VDM about potentially finding love abroad.
