- Nigerian entrepreneur Blord has imported a container of 2-in-1 fast chargers from China, claiming he pioneered the dual-tip design
- The BluntGadgets founder called himself "Africa's Elon Musk" and insisted that the charger is unavailable anywhere else except on his platform
- Nigerians criticised his invention claims, pointing to similar dual-connector chargers that have been sold globally on Amazon and other platforms
Nigerian entrepreneur Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has introduced a new 45W fast charger that combines Lightning and Type-C tips in one device.
He unveiled the product in a video posted on Instagram, explaining that he supervised its production during a recent trip to China before importing a full container to Nigeria.

According to him, the charger is designed to serve both iPhone and Android users, making it easier for households with different devices to rely on a single accessory.
Blord demonstrated how the charger works, showing its dual-tip design that allows users to switch between connectors without hassle.
He stressed that the device delivers fast charging up to 45W and insisted it was a first-of-its-kind innovation in Nigeria. He also emphasised his involvement in the manufacturing process, presenting the charger as a breakthrough in convenience.
In his announcement, Blord described the product as “the first two-in-one charger in Nigeria, invented by Africa’s Elon Musk,” a statement he believes highlights its potential to reshape the local gadget market.

In the video, Blord explained his motivation clearly before demonstrating the product. He noted that users often buy separate chargers for iPhone and Android devices, but his design eliminates that need.
He showed how the tips could be swapped easily, allowing one charger to serve multiple phones.
“Normally, you used to use two chargers, but now I want to make you use one charger,” he said, stressing that the product was built to save money and simplify charging.
However, the unveiling has drawn mixed reactions online. While some praised the idea, others challenged his claim of originality.
Critics pointed out that similar dual-connector chargers have been available globally for years, citing brands like Belkin and CableCreation that sell interchangeable USB-C and Lightning cables on platforms such as Amazon.
This sparked debates about whether Blord’s effort represents true innovation or simply importation.

@skood009 said:
"I can bet that it is still inferior quality; Nigerians are so wicked that most of these gadgets are substandard. Now he brought it into Nigeria, you would expect that a standards organization of Nigeria will certify and validate the quality, but from China to the markets nothing changes. No sector works in Nigeria. Govt shares blame for the number of fakes out there too today."
@Keway247 commented:
"Wetin Aba boys dun dey do since na this one dey wun mock Nigerians. Which one is, 'have you seen anything like this before?'"

@casicruise reacted:
"He did not produce anything. This charger has been around for over 8 years now. He only ordered for it. Stop making this boy look like a genius. He imported it."

@CAspirewealth reacted:
"I love the hustle and seeing our people go to China to manufacture, but 'first person to do it' is a big reach. 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 cables have been on AliExpress and Amazon for a decade. That said, if the quality and charging speed are actually superior, he's got a winner. Let's see the specs first!"
