Amid the reactions, Blord unveiled a new app to receive crypto payments using just an email, no BVN or NIN needed, then convert and withdraw to banks, with his Blord Group handling taxes on large transactions under Nigeria's new 2026 tax rules, which tax crypto profits up to 25%.
Reacting, some critics made bold claims about scams involving Blord and his apps, while others argued that the businessman was attempting to help Nigerians evade paying tax in the new year.
Responding to allegations, Blord, in a post via his Instagram page, announced a N500k cash reward for anyone who could prove they had been scammed by him.
"Hey amazing people, if you know anyone that always claim that Blord don scam am or chop him money for app, tell them I am daring them today, to visit any of my office nationwide and drop their claim. If their claim turns out to be true, I’ll give the person 500k as inconvenience. Let them make videos before and after going," he wrote.
