“I’d Rather Pay 20% to Tinubu Than Lose 100% to B-Lord”: Man Mocks Businessman Over Tax Evasion App
- Nigerian crypto mogul Blord has been mocked in a viral video after promoting an app that helps users avoid government taxes on transactions starting in 2026
- Blord claimed that the app requires no BVN or NIN and can handle up to N100 million anonymously
- Social media users overwhelmingly rejected the platform, with one saying he would rather pay Tinubu's 20% tax than risk losing 100% of his money to Blord
Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has become the subject of widespread online mockery after promoting a new app he designed to help Nigerians evade upcoming government taxes.
A viral video circulating on X on December 31, 2025, showed groups of men ridiculing the businessman's offer.

The video captioned "Blord want help us hold our money" referenced Blord's earlier announcement advising Nigerians to avoid depositing crypto transactions into banks starting in 2026 due to government taxes.
He introduced his app as an alternative that requires no Bank Verification Number (BVN) or National Identification Number (NIN) and claims to handle up to N100 million anonymously.
The app launch has triggered serious reactions from Nigerians who recalled Blord's controversial history with law enforcement. The responses showed overwhelming scepticism towards the platform's safety and Blord's intentions.
In 2024, the Nigerian Police Force arrested the Anambra State-born billionaire, Blord, in Abuja on serious allegations. Authorities accused him of cryptocurrency fraud, terrorism funding, aiding internet fraud, and regulatory non-compliance involving his companies.
He was released after interrogation and denied all wrongdoing, continuing his business ventures despite the scrutiny.
He launched the tax-avoidance app in 2025 as Nigeria prepared to implement new tax laws targeting individual transactions from 2026.
