In other news…. The ongoing clash between businessman Blord and social activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has escalated after both men traded words over a controversial iPhone modification project.

Blord recently shared a video showcasing what he claimed was a transformed iPhone XR, upgraded to resemble the latest iPhone 17 Pro.

In the footage, the entrepreneur boasted that the customised device was rebuilt in China, featuring similar design elements, icons, and functionality as Apple’s newest model.

However, shortly after the video went viral, VeryDarkMan accused Blord of deceiving Nigerians.

In his response video, VDM alleged that Blord was overpricing the altered phone to appear innovative, describing the project as a “cheap trick.” He maintained that the supposed upgrade was merely a ploy to mislead followers.

Blord, unbothered by the criticism, hit back on Instagram, dismissing the allegations and asserting that his operations were legitimate. He claimed to have a major office in China where the phone modification was conducted.

In one of his posts, he wrote:

“This boy claims he has a factory 100 times bigger than my office in China. I’ve asked for the address my boys would love to visit. Let’s wait and see.”

Blord also released another video defending the high cost of the customised iPhone, stating that the price reflected the quality and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
