“You Are Extorting Nigerians” VeryDarkMan Accuses Blord Of Selling Fake iPhone 17 For ₦450K Instead Of ₦280K! (video)

Social activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has accused businessman and crypto investor Blord of trying to scam Nigerians by selling refurbished iPhone XR as iPhone 17 Pro

VDM called out the self-acclaimed millionaire for what he described as a clear attempt to “extort Nigerians all in the name of business.” The controversy started after Blord shared a video of himself unboxing an “upgraded” iPhone XR, which he claimed had been modified to the latest iPhone 17 Pro.

The businessman said he reached out to his associate in China to perform the transformation. According to Blord, the customised iPhone looked and functioned like the newly released iPhone 17 Pro, boasting similar icons, casing, and interface.

He proudly announced that he had two available pieces, each selling for ₦400,000. However, in his response, VDM accused Blord of deceiving Nigerians and inflating prices to appear innovative. He said:

“Blord, I think you forgot that I am in China. Why do you want to extort Nigerians? All in the name of business, you want to make so much profit.”

He further revealed that the supposed “iPhone 17 Pro” was merely an upgraded iPhone XR that could be bought for about ₦280,000 in China, including shipping and delivery costs to any part of Nigeria
