"VeryDarkMan started with calling out entities without NAFDAC numbers. Now, he is selling fake iPhones. Nigerians are wonderful people," he tweeted.
Recall that some months back, VeryDarkMan was involved in a heated exchange with businessman Blord as he exposed him for selling a refurbished iPhone XR as an iPhone 17 Pro.
He 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.

"He was just in love with the algorithm and getting engagement and making his money, freedom fighting was never his first calling, that’s why he looked for controversies up and down. He was the hero Nigeria deserved but he was never a true hero."

"iPhone dey get NAFDAC number??? The iPhones "he's selling" are the aftermath of wrecking BLord's business venture, something that the general public is fully aware of I'm still yet to understand the correlation between the iPhone and NAFDAC number."
