Legit.ng recalls reporting that VeryDarkMan called out Blord for allegedly trying to scam Nigerians by selling a refurbished iPhone XR as the newly released iPhone 17 Pro.
Blord had announced that he had two units available, each priced at ₦400,000. However, VDM criticised the businessman for allegedly inflating the price and misleading Nigerians.

Oriretan Honour faulted Blord for trying to extort Nigerians. According to the critic, the businessman could have sold it at a cheaper price.
"Blord did wrong for trying to sell that phone for ₦450k instead of ₦280k, which is unwise. Forgetting over-profiting is a sin. ₦290k is best, as a ₦10k profit is enough for a businessman of his kind," he said.

Oriretan also criticised VeryDarkMan for attempting to ruin Blord's business.
"VDM did wrong for spoiling and ruining somebody's business to promote another for unnecessary clout. This is selfish. Everybody has the freedom to sell things at the prices they want since they all have their own targeted customers."
The critic further berated China for repackaging iPhone XR to iPhone 17 and dumping it in Nigeria.
He also criticised the Nigerian government for not regulating prices of luxury items like iPhone.
"In a sane country, Blord would be sanctioned for selling above purchasing price. China too would be sanctioned for using the country as a dumping ground," he said.

Blord under fire for visit to in-laws
Legit.ng also reported that Blord came under fire after a video of him visiting his wife’s family in Nnobi, Anambra state, went viral and stirred controversy.
Blord was captured seated casually in a family compound, enjoying drinks with his in-laws.
While the moment seemed peaceful and celebratory, it was the background of the video that caught Nigerians’ attention, particularly the condition of the house believed to belong to his wife’s parents.
