Hi everyone, my name is Jojo Sunday, popularly known as Jojo of Lele.
Very dark Man: I’m from Benue State, Nigeria, but I was born and raised in Kaduna. I’m a content creator and entrepreneur—I currently run a unisex salon, and I’m planning to venture into the clothing business soon.
My journey started with filmmaking back in Kaduna. I loved shooting movies, but the environment wasn’t very supportive, so I decided to move to Lagos. Initially, I wasn’t focused on content creation; I was a professional actress. However, acting wasn’t taking me anywhere, so I decided to try content creation because it was gaining traction.
I temporarily put acting on hold, although I still do it occasionally. Now, I’m planning to fully dive back into film production by creating my own movies.
In fact, I recently shot a movie based on a script someone sent me last December. I really liked the storyline and everything about it. A friend of mine, who is a community production manager, helped organize the project. After shooting and posting the movie, I initially felt discouraged because it wasn’t getting much attention.
When the movie started gaining attention, I faced some challenges. I came across some news that felt hurtful because someone else was getting credit for my work. It was painful—I even cried. I know how much effort and love I put into the project, and it was tough seeing someone else take the glory.
But I realize it wasn’t Very Dark Man’s fault. In this industry, people use whatever they can to get ahead, and that’s just how it is. I don’t blame him at all. I was just shocked when I saw it online because I had no prior issues with him.
Despite everything, I’m motivated to keep pushing forward and to continue creating the stories I’m passionate about.
I’ve never really had any close relationship with this man, so it was shocking to hear him claim otherwise. Even today, I’m still wondering why he said those things about me. I know he said it because I’ve heard similar rumors before, but none of it is true. It makes me question why this person is so obsessed with me, what the real problem is.
Rumors are tricky. Sometimes, people tell lies just to get attention or cause trouble. I was even warned by others not to engage with this person, as they might just be trying to spoil my reputation or elevate themselves by dragging me down.
There are parts of this situation I prefer to keep private, but I did confront him directly about the rumors. He denied saying those things, so I initially believed him. But then, hearing it again from Very Dark Man made me doubt — if Very Dark Man heard it from him, it probably happened.
I confronted him again after that, but he didn’t respond.
People say I blush whenever Very Dark Man’s name comes up, and it’s true. The day we met went really well. I enjoyed myself — he was kind, took good care of me, treated me to a meal, and we went to watch a movie. It was a nice time.
Just to clarify, he didn’t fly me to Abuja. I was actually already in Abuja and reached out to him. He didn’t know I was there until I messaged him, asking to meet up. He told me he was very busy but would try to find time.
One thing about Very Dark Man is that he’s a strong, resilient person. If you spend time with him, you start to adopt some of his strengths. When we met, he shared valuable advice with me. He told me that in this industry, people will drag you online and cry foul, but I have to be strong if I want to succeed. Even if I don’t have all the resources now, I have to keep pushing.
Rumors About Me Sleeping With VDM
So, when Very Dark Man told me to be strong, I tried to take that advice. But then, out of nowhere, this guy started saying all kinds of things about me and Very Dark Man— like we went to a hotel together and that he had evidence. The truth is, Very Dark Man, and I never even went near a hotel that day. We weren’t alone either — there were four of us: me, my friend Bakman, his friend, and Very Dark Man. So, where did that hotel story even come from? It sounds crazy and completely unreal.
They even claimed there was video proof — like we forgot to lock a window or something. It was just ridiculous. Honestly, it was hard to believe anyone would take that seriously.
I support the work Very Dark Man does online because he’s doing something a lot of people want to do but can’t. Many admire what he’s doing. Funny enough, about 80% of people actually support Very Dark — it’s just the 20% who don’t, and that’s mostly because they’re scared. Like, if Very Dark Man is considered an enemy by one person, others automatically become enemies too, not because they want to be, but because of loyalty or fear.
As for me, I never planned to compete with him or drag him down. I don’t have money or the desire to start drama. Some people told me to drag him or said that the case would be taken up for me, but I don’t want any trouble. It’s normal for people to fight and try to bring each other down — that’s just human nature — but it was never on my mind to take it that far.
And honestly, who wouldn’t like Very Dark Man? He’s handsome, charming, and a good person. I don’t want to say too much, but the person who caused all this reached out to me and apologized. He said he saw everything that happened and that I didn’t deserve it. He even asked about the kind of car I drive, saying he sells cars and offered to give me a new one since I said I couldn’t afford to buy one right now. I went to his office…
Past Acquaintances
We had some agreements, yes—it wasn’t entirely free. I definitely had to work for it, like through influencing and other efforts. Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise. Sometimes you don’t realize how God works, but He works in different ways. There are many great people in the Bible who went through hardships before reaching their destiny. I’m talking about people like David, Joseph, and many others. So yes, this has actually been a blessing to me.
I’ve never had any issues with Needle. Honestly, I don’t even know why people think otherwise. I’ve only shot two skits with Needle, and that was a long time ago when I just came to Lagos. Needle is someone I really look up to. He’s like a boss figure to me because we’re both from Kaduna, from the North. I have a lot of respect for him. But we were never really close. It was more of a professional connection.
When I first arrived in Lagos, I wanted to learn about cameras and possibly work behind the scenes as an assistant camera operator. I was working with someone who was shooting for Needle, so we all traveled and worked together on shoots. We spent a lot of time together, but even then, the closeness wasn’t there. It was purely work-related.
When the news about me and Needle came out, even the person I was working with was surprised and asked, “How did this happen?” There are some things I don’t want to discuss publicly, but I want to make it clear that I was never close to Needle. I was never working directly with him; I was working with my boss, Lucas.
Before coming to Lagos, when I was in Kaduna, I knew a lot of celebrities who would come to shoot projects in Ghana. I stayed focused on my own work and never got involved in any drama or personal relationships. I don’t want to associate myself with that kind of negativity because I understand how the entertainment industry works. Everyone knows how it works, so I’m careful to keep my distance from anything personal or sexual relationships within the industry.
My Experience Working With Other Creators
Everyone talks in this industry, so I can’t even say I’ve had anything with anybody. I’m not saying that if I see someone I like, I might be interested, but for now, I’m focused on my man.
The first skit I did was with Needle. Actually, that first skit didn’t even come out because Lucas shot it, but it never got released. Then I started working with Lucas as a camera assistant. We went to shoot for Ola Dollars. The girl who was supposed to act didn’t show up, so Lucas told Dollars, “My girl can shoot, my girl can act; maybe she can do it.” So, I stepped in and shot the skit with him. I think Dollars was the first person to post that skit. So, I’d say Dollars was the first person I did a skit with, and that’s how it all started.
I went with Lucas, we were waiting for the original actor, but since she didn’t come, I shot with Dollars, and Dollars posted it. After that, I did about two or three skits with him. From there, other people started noticing me, and I began doing my own thing. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been productive. It’s been going well, growing from 50 views to 100, and steadily increasing like that.
I love that even though it can be depressing at times, I still love the process. Content creation can be really depressing sometimes. It’s not easy to be in that public figure space. You post videos, and sometimes they don’t get views; you work hard, but the results don’t show. That’s depressing.
Imagine spending a lot of money to shoot a movie, and at the end of the day, you get 50 or 1,000 views — it feels bad. It’s depressing. The idea that you have to “sleep with somebody” to level up isn’t just in the entertainment industry. Even in banking or any professional job, that notion exists. But in this content creation industry, since it’s such a public space, it feels even more exposed.
My Experience About Sex For Roles
That’s why I feel like this kind of thing happens every day in different jobs and different places — it’s not just content creation. So if anyone tells you, “You have to sleep with me to get this,” that person really doesn’t want to do the work. I’ve never experienced anyone telling me that I had to sleep with them to get a role or anything, because I do my thing on my own. So honestly, I don’t know how that feels.
It’s not just about content creation — it happens in different occupations and fields. Everyone has their own opinions and reasons for what they say. The way you think is different from the way I think, so people have their own reasons for saying what they say.
Some people say I shouldn’t have done things on camera, but like I said, I started as a philanthropist. I’ve done a lot for people — I’ve rented shops for people, given someone a provision shop, rented houses for others. Not all of these come from my pocket, but when I post a video — for example, if I give someone 20,000 Naira, and they say “God bless you,” and then leave, that’s fine, but I thought instead of just giving and walking away, why not make a video showing it?
Posting that video allows the person to tell their story, and it can inspire others who see it to also help. When people share their stories, it touches others, and those others might want to help too. So I don’t see anything wrong with making a video about helping someone and posting it.
I do it because I want people to see what some people are going through and the help they need. If you watch the video and feel moved to help, then you help.
But some people start preaching from the Bible, saying you should help off-camera. I ask, “How many people have you actually helped? How many have you helped for real?” It’s not nice to judge like that. I know I have helped.
Very Dark Man Advice
Really, sending all these people — everybody, like I said, has their own way of thinking, you get me? So honestly, I don’t know. I have no idea. No, no, no, he didn’t say anything like that. Funny enough, he’s not that kind of person. If he’s fighting with somebody, he wants to fight his fight alone. He’s not the kind of person who, if he’s fighting with you, wants to drag others into it.
You know, I posted something about Nidu on TikTok because people were asking if I “knack” (slept with) him, so I made a video to address that. Very Man told me to just delete it — he said I shouldn’t drag Nedu or say anything about him. He’s not the kind of person who wants your enemy to be his enemy. So he didn’t say anything bad about Nidu at all; we only talked about myself. He was like, “Ah, this person actually said this thing to me,” but he didn’t say anything bad about Nidu aside from that. So, I don’t know.
I told you guys, I told you about my man — why am I still active? Actually, I’m not in a relationship. I’m very single, waiting for the love of my life to come to me. The video I made wasn’t to mock Sophie — I don’t know if you saw it, but it wasn’t meant to mock Sophie. When all this stuff happened to me, I realized there are a lot of women who just get jealous and are waiting for your downfall.
When this happened to me, women dragged me, saying things like, “She’s been doing skits for how many years? When did this girl come to Lagos? She wasn’t doing this before. Now she’s doing it because she’s sleeping with people.” So I was just making fun of how girls react and how they were reacting to me. But like I said, I can’t really say anything about Sophie and Bon Boy — that’s their own thing and not my concern.
So, I was just talking about the video I made, mocking those girls and how they behave. That’s just how they are.
No, I will not accept it. I don’t know why, but I won’t accept it — especially if it’s coming from my man.
On the positive side, I’ve had a lot of positive experiences. Especially after all this happened, a lot of people reached out to me and gave me money…
A Car From Very Dark Man
You’ll be like, “Ah, because of VDM (Very Dark Man), he sent me a car.” I’ve received a lot of money, yes. And of course, my car — it’s not here yet, but they’re supposed to bring it tomorrow or the next day. I’ve received a lot, I can’t even count exactly, but it should be close to 5 million.
The thing is, I’m not really a skit maker per se. I’m just a content creator — I do things, I stay active, and I just record anything that comes to mind. So, I’m not like a skit maker; I don’t really know much about the skit industry. I just create my own content and do my own thing. If something comes to my head, I just do it. I’m not funny like comedians, so I just do whatever comes to mind.
My dream — when I sleep, I see the love of my life, don’t mind me — my dream is to shoot a lot of movies. I want to be featured in cinema films, yes. I also really want to work with Root Cader — that’s a big dream for me as well.
One lesson I learned? Hmm… I honestly didn’t learn anything from all this. The thing is, I didn’t even say anything, so there was nothing to learn from. If it had been true, maybe I would’ve learned something like “you should know the kind of men to be with,” but since it wasn’t true, I didn’t learn anything.
I don’t read comments. I try not to because I’m very emotional — little things get to me. So, I avoid reading comments. Even when all that stuff happened, I only saw a few because they popped up on my phone, and I just removed them.
That’s why I ignore and block people. Blocking is necessary. Nobody is above blocking. If you stress me too much, I block you. Honestly, I’ve blocked a lot of people on my Facebook.
About marriage — I haven’t really thought about it because I feel like I’m still young and naive. Also, I’m still focused on making money. I don’t want to be a liability to my man or my future husband. I want to get married with a mindset where we both bring something to the table and build together.
So, I haven’t really thought much about marriage. My head is mostly on how to make money, how to be successful. But everyone wants happiness, right?
Thinking About Marriage
Everyone wants a happy marriage. Everybody wants a loving partner. I want that too — that sweet marriage we always see online, even though we don’t really know if it’s exactly how it looks. But yes, I want to be in a happy marriage, with my kids and the love of my life.
That said, my mind isn’t ready to get married yet. I’ve been in relationships before, and it can be stressful. Some guys get very jealous of their woman, especially if they see her doing better than them. That jealousy is really stressful because those guys are often insecure about themselves.
For example, you might be going out, and they feel like you’re going to meet a guy who’s doing better than them. Even a normal argument can escalate because they feel threatened. Maybe you talk back to them, and they say it’s because you have more money or you’re more successful. It’s really stressful.
I won’t lie — I do it too sometimes, if I’m with a reasonable person.
As for how I make money, I earn from adverts, from Facebook, and now that I’m shooting movies, I make money from YouTube too. But honestly, when it comes to my life, I don’t really know how much I earn. Sometimes people help me out, like on the days they see me posting about food or something on Instagram. They might say, “Here, have some food,” but I don’t earn much from that.
There’s a lot of competition. You could just be doing your thing, and people start saying you’re competing with someone, like you’re trying to be like her or him. The competition in the industry is actually intense.
I just wish people could let true love and support exist, especially among women. Men? I don’t think men really have the same problem. But I definitely know that among women, the competition is just too much.
Yes, I’ve had experiences. I actually had someone… well, I’m not sure if I want to talk about it. But yes, there are people who just want to be close to you because of what they might gain, or because they feel like, “Who is this girl? Let me get close to her and see.”
A lot of things have happened to me in this industry that I don’t want to talk about. It’s something I’ve experienced, but I don’t know if it’s true because I haven’t done it myself. I really don’t want to say anything personal or start dragging anyone’s name. I don’t want to…
Addressing Sexual Rumors
Say anything, I beg—I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. Plus, I don’t like talking down on people. I’m doing the same thing—I’m an influencer. Imagine talking down on influencers! If it were about someone in a completely different field, maybe I would, but this is what I do, this is my field. I can’t talk down on my people. I’m sorry.
Yes, now I’m fine, girl. So yeah, I don’t agree with things like that. That’s why I felt bad when they were saying I slept with Nedu. Like, if I wanted to do anything with somebody, it would be because I like the person.
Even now, I know how many people have messaged me and my brother, saying I should be careful about what I say. But things like that don’t move me at all. I’ve never done it.
Like I said, the first thing I started wasn’t really content—it was philanthropy. I’ve seen a lot, been through a lot. I don’t suffer anymore, so I help. Even before I started recording and posting, I helped many people off-camera.
When I was staying in one room, I had about five people living with me. I know how it feels to suffer. I know how people treat you when you don’t have a place to stay.
So when I started making money and seeing the results of my work, I promised God I would help as many people as I could. Because of my past suffering, I was inspired to start helping people, and posting it so others can help too.
From there, I started doing other things, creating more content because I wanted to make more money to help more people.
To all upcoming content creators: keep pushing! I don’t need to give advice—you already know—just keep pushing. Don’t give up. Don’t sleep with anybody for a role or a skit. One skit will not make you blow up. Two skits will not make you blow up. Three skits won’t make you blow up just because you slept with someone.
If anyone tells you to do that, they’re lying. Keep doing your thing. Nobody can help you like God can. When you do it by yourself, you might just do your thing once, and before you know it, you’re already there. Nobody can blow you up—only you can.
So just keep doing your thing and don’t worry. And also, keep praying. Don’t forget to pray. Keep praying. I mean, I…
Her Advice to Content Creators
I pray a lot. I’m a child of God. Even though people see me wear short things online or one or two things, I’m very, very spiritual. I pray a lot. So keep praying, keep doing your thing, keep posting. Don’t procrastinate. If you get any content today, go shoot it and post it—you never know which one will do well.
Yes, yes, yes. Now, there are people who might just plan to drag others or create controversy, talk about something just to stir things up. That happens a lot in the industry, definitely. There are always vibes with people in the industry, so misunderstandings happen.
For example, there was this person who used to be my friend—we used to do the same philanthropy stuff. Because she helped somebody whom I also helped, which led to a serious misunderstanding between us. There are others too, but I can’t even remember all of them.
Even though Bman came out to say, after finding out the truth that it’s not true, some very stupid people still keep saying I slept with Nedu. I just want to clear that up: anything that has to do with me, I did not sleep with Nedu to be successful. I’m not successful because of that.
If they can just stop saying that, I’d actually be very fine. That’s the only thing. No, I’m not going to take anyone to court over it—I’ve let go of everything already. I thank God for how everything turned out.
I’m in love with Very Dark Man, yes, you guys! Why did I say it? No, you didn’t know? Should I tell him?
Hi, Very Dark Man. You’re very hot, you’re sexy, you’re very smart, you’re a kind person, a wonderful person, and this little princess, your princess-is, is in love with you.
