In Nigeria’s vibrant social media scene, a fiery clash between activist VeryDarkMan and crypto mogul Blord has gripped the nation, blending scandal, explicit content, and allegations of fraud.
Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan or VDM, has built a reputation as a relentless critic of exploitation. His latest target is Linus Williams Ifejika, aka Blord, a billionaire entrepreneur accused of fleecing Nigerians through shady gadget sales.
On October 13, 2025, VDM, filming from a Chinese factory, exposed how older iPhones like the XR can be refurbished to pass as the new iPhone 17 Pro Max. He accused Blord of selling these “cloned” phones at inflated prices - some as high as ₦3 million while pocketing huge profits.
Blord, still stinging from his July 2025 EFCC arrest for alleged fraud, hit back hard. He taunted VDM’s past, offering ₦500,000 for old explicit videos of the influencer and reposting clips on Instagram to shame him.
On October 14, VDM turned the tables. He sent fresh, self-made explicit videos to Blord via private DM, boldly announcing it online. “Watch with your wife,” he jabbed, daring Blord to leak them. By October 15, the clips went viral, igniting a firestorm.
Blord responded with a casual dance video to a classic Nigerian song, a move many saw as dismissive. VDM, meanwhile, threatened legal action, claiming the new clips were private and their public sharing violated his rights.
This feud isn’t new. VDM has long criticized Blord’s ventures, from the Billpoint app’s alleged fund-locking issues in March 2025 to questionable real estate deals. Blord, in turn, has called VDM irrelevant, flaunting his wealth and global business reach.
The drama has spilled beyond the duo. Actress Nkechi Blessing dunked her ₦3 million iPhone 17 in water to prove its authenticity, only for VDM to show a refurbished XR surviving the same test. A cheeky entrepreneur even advertised a “Tecno 17 Pro” for ₦150,000, mocking the saga.
Online, opinions are split. Fans cheer VDM’s audacity: “You can’t shame the shameless,” one wrote. Others slam Blord’s tactics, with comments like, “He’s losing the war and his business.” Many warn both men: the internet never forgets.
The fallout may hit Blord’s sales, while VDM plans a rival gadget shop promising fair prices. Yet, some speculate this chaos boosts their fame, a calculated game in Nigeria’s influencer world.
This saga raises bigger questions about trust and accountability online. Is VDM a hero or a provocateur? Is Blord a victim or a villain? As Nigeria watches, one truth stands: this digital duel is far from over.
