Vanessa Okoye, daughter of talent manager Paulo Okoye, has criticized social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) for publicly showing disrespect towards her father.

VDM commented about Paulo’s girlfriend, Iyabo Ojo with Paulo defending her, leading to a back-and-forth exchange.

Vanessa expressed her disapproval of VDM’s behavior, stating that those who disrespect her father mistake their silence for ignorance.

She emphasised that their focus is on building a legacy of integrity and excellence, rather than engaging in petty arguments with individuals who lack vision and respect. 

“Those who disrespect my father mistake our silence for ignorance.

"We’re focused on forging a legacy of integrity and excellence, not in addressing petty remarks from those lacking vision and respect. It’s the audacity for me,” she wrote on instagram.
