A few weeks ago, Burna Boy asked Verydarkblackman (VDM) to visit his village, inspect and survey the community so that they could bring schools, hospitals and life-changing humanity projects. The mission was simple: see the needs, plan the solution.

Burna Boy hails from Ogbogolo in the Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. As of March 2026, he is actively involved in developing the area, pledging to build schools, a hospital, and supporting infrastructure like roads via the REACH Foundation and in collaboration with activist VeryDarkMan.

After VDM’s visit and his narrative, Burna Boy decided to visit his own community to see for himself what Verydarkman told him and his cars got stucked in the track.

The community doesn’t have proper roads. The only link connecting them to other towns, the path for materials and goods, was nothing more than a bush track.

“Before anything is built, the community must have a proper road. How will we bring in materials for schools and hospitals if the road doesn’t exist?” VDM protests.

As Burna Boy went to see the situation himself to witness the heartbreaking situation as heavy rainfall had turned the bush track into mud, and one of his vehicles got stuck.
Verydarkblackman, his team, and security officers were there in the rain, struggling to pull the vehicle out, showing true determination and selfless commitment.

This isn’t just any community. This is the second community in Nigeria where crude oil was discovered, yet poverty still reigns. It’s a reminder that wealth in the soil doesn’t always mean wealth for the people.

Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy had visited the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt to partner on developing his hometown, Ogbogolo, in Rivers State. He met with MD/CEO Dr. Sam Ogbuku to seek support for rebuilding a community school and constructing a 3-kilometer road essential for the project. The NDDC agreed to construct the road in a joint effort to boost infrastructure in the Niger Delta.

“Today, the vision is clear: roads will be built first, then schools, hospitals, and humanity projects will follow. Because no community deserves to be left behind.” The team concluded.
