Verydarkman in China: Man Calls Out Critic, Alleges He Is Damaging Igbomen’s Business in Asian Town

  • Verydarkman has come under fire from an Igbo man, Tochukwu Harrison Mmaduboallor, following his recent visit to China
  • This was triggered by a series of videos the social media activist made as he surveyed some of the suppliers and manufacturers in the Asian country
  • Mr Tochukwu Harrison pointed out how VDM’s mission was allegedly aimed at destroying the livelihood of Igbo businessmen

Nigerian social media critic, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been called out by an Igbo man, Tochukwu Harrison Mmaduboallor, following his recent visit to China.

In a heated video shared online, Tochukwu, an indigenous MC, directly accused the controversial influencer of allegedly harming the businesses of Igbo men in China.

This reaction came after VDM posted clips of himself touring several companies in China, expressing his intention to bridge the gap between Chinese manufacturers and Nigerian consumers.

However, Tochukwu argued that this move was exposing trade secrets many Igbo businessmen rely on to survive in China. According to him, the success of these businesses heavily depends on confidentiality.

"Business is all about secrecy," he said. "Real businessmen don’t introduce their suppliers to their customers."

He emphasised that a trader cannot spend over N2 million on a flight to come back home to sell their goods in a way they wouldn’t get their profit back.

Tochukwu also highlighted the sacrifices many Igbo men make in China, including sleeping on the streets, just to make a living.

He concluded by stressing that Igbo men dominate the Nigerian business scene in China more than any other tribe, and VDM’s actions could disproportionately affect them.
