LAGOS – Popular social media critic and activist, Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has advised TikTok stars Peller and Jarvis to reconsider their plans to get married, saying they are still too young for such a lifelong commitment.

The advice comes after the couple recently announced that their wedding is scheduled to take place on August 1, 2026, sparking widespread reactions across social media.

Reacting in a video shared on his social media platforms, VeryDarkMan expressed concern over the decision, stressing that marriage is a serious commitment that should not be approached like social media content creation.

According to him, the couple should carefully think through their decision before taking such a significant step.

Addressing Peller directly, VeryDarkMan said the young content creator should prioritize his education instead of rushing into marriage.

“Jarvis and Peller, I hope you actually know what you guys are doing because marriage is not a joke or content creation. You really need to think about this.

“Peller, you are still a very young boy that needs to be in school, not in marriage. Think very well,” he said.

His comments have generated mixed reactions online, with some social media users agreeing that the couple should focus on personal growth before settling down, while others argued that age alone should not determine readiness for marriage.

Neither Peller nor Jarvis has publicly responded to VeryDarkMan’s remarks as of the time of filing this report.

He made the revelation in a video shared on his Instagram page to educate his fans through his life story.

While noting that “not every love story ends the way you imagined”, Ubi Franklin, who disclosed that he attempted suicide several times, explained that he once drove to the third Mainland bridge to commit suicide before being rescued by his cousin brother, Omini Stitches.

“I went through some crazy depressing positions. I remember one time I bought a red CL, and I drove that car to the third Mainland bridge to go and commit suicide.

“The only luck I had was my cousin brother Omini Stitches that came to saved me. Several times I had tried to commit suicide, Omini saved me. Because I was so embarrassed, I don’t know what to do. I felt like what have I done to deserve all of this. I have a good career going for myself. I have like the biggest artist in the country at the time. Everything was fine, so I just felt like it was time for me to settle down.

“So, sometimes I always feel like this relationship did not work it was just meant to be that way. Till today I can’t really explain exactly what transpired, but we’re now very good friends. We co-parent very well, we celebrate events of our son. So sometimes, I have always believed that regardless of all the pain, the best result that I got from that was my son. And she’s still doing very well. Any opportunity I ever have to support her, I always do it to the fullest and I pray that she continues doing well. The lesson I want you to learn from this is, I don’t want you to think that when something happens sometimes with the human being, you have to hate the human being. No, that’s not the case. Sometimes it is just an opportunity for you to learn from the process and keep it moving “, he said.

Businesswoman and lifestyle influencer Sharon Adeleke, sister of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has encouraged Nigerian celebrities and public figures to normalise repeating their outfits instead of giving in to the pressure of wearing new clothes for every public appearance.

Speaking in a recent vlog, Sharon said there is nothing wrong with wearing an outfit more than once, stressing that fashion should not be dictated by social media expectations or public opinion.

She recalled attending an event wearing an outfit she had previously worn after deciding not to commission a new one. According to her, members of her team initially advised against the decision, arguing that people had already seen the outfit.

Despite the concerns, Sharon said she went ahead with her choice, insisting that she would not allow unnecessary societal pressure to influence her wardrobe decisions.

“Last Sunday, I had an event and I didn’t have anything made for it. So, I decided to wear something that I had worn before and my team objected, saying people had seen it before and would see it again. But I wore it anyway.

“Don’t let anybody tell you you can’t repeat your clothes. I will re-rock as many times as I like. I am not going to let anybody put unnecessary pressure on me.

“Don’t be afraid to repeat your clothes. Re-rock as many times as you like.”

Her comments have sparked conversations on social media, with many users praising her message as a refreshing call for authenticity, sustainability and financial responsibility in an industry often associated with constant displays of luxury and new fashion.

Sharon’s remarks add to the growing conversation about reducing fashion waste and encouraging more practical lifestyle choices, even among celebrities who are frequently in the public eye.
