Asaba, Nigeria – E be like say dem wan start new comedy series for inside aircraft as social media influencers Martins Otse (wey dem sabi as Very Dark Man or VDM) and Freedom Atsepoyi (popularly known as Mr Jollof) decide say dem go turn flight UN0523 to di Lagos Comedy Mata. Dis gbege happen on November 17, 2025, while dem dey board di plane for Asaba International Airport.
Video wey don go viral show di two stars exchanging blows like say dem dey act one action film. E no clear wetin cause di wahala, but passengers wey dey around no fit help but shout “VDM, VDM, make una hold dat guy!” (abi na dem dey support him fight?)
Chibuike Uloka, di PR guy for United Nigeria Airlines, confirm say dem face di situation sharp sharp, quickly removing di two influencers from di plane to ensure di safety of oda passengers (wetin dem call ‘emergency exit’ for real). Afta dem don cool di matter down, di flight take off safely, but di fight don cause serious buzz for social media, plenty pipo dey talk am.
Di Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) don announce say dem go shine light on di matter because e dey important wey dem maintain order for di aviation sector. Michael Achimugu, di Director of Public Affairs & Consumer Protection, explain say dis kain behavior inside plane no get excuse, no matter wetin happen.
“There is no tolerance for unruly behaviour aboard an aircraft,” he talk. “Both individuals go face di full strength of di law… especially as dem are supposed to be role models for dem followers.” Na serious matter be dis o!
Dem no be di first wey go dey face wahala for inside plane. A few months ago, dem ban K1 De Ultimate for six months from flying because e cause kasala for one airline. So dis incident don add to di list of ‘Do Not Board’ peeps. Naim be Nigeria, where celebrity drama fit turn into aviation emergency!”
As di dust dey settle, na di NCAA go conduct investigation on di incident and determine wetin dem go do next for di two men wey no sabi say social media and fight no be di correct way to build followers.
Di bottom line be say, next time e go beta for dem if dem just settle una scoring system on ground instead of trying to throw punches inside plane. E fit cause di airlines wahala, but na so e go dey – we go dey watch di updates!
