Author Reverses Stance on Blord vs. VeryDarkMan Feud, Backs Legal Action
A Nigerian author and scriptwriter, Anwulika Udanoh, has publicly reacted to the recent remand in prison of businessman Linus Williams Ifejirika, widely known as Blord, expressing her support for the legal action taken by social media personality VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse.
From Condemnation to Support: A Shift in Allegiance
In a detailed Facebook post dated April 2, 2026, Anwulika Udanoh, author of Royal Kiss, revealed that she initially condemned VeryDarkMan and stood with Blord when the online critic targeted the businessman unprovoked following an old fallout. However, her position changed dramatically when Blord allegedly used VeryDarkMan's name and image to promote his brand without consent, even claiming that VeryDarkMan would attend an event in Onitsha.
Anwulika stated, "When VDM went for Blord unprovoked, after their old fall out, I took a stand with Blord and condemned VDM. But when Blord used VDM to promote his brand and even claimed that VDM will be attending his event in Onitsha, I was against Blord for doing that." She emphasized that she was among those who urged VeryDarkMan to pursue legal action if consent was not obtained, highlighting that Blord had crossed privacy boundaries multiple times without provocation.
Legal Proceedings and Public Reactions
Blord was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, on charges including criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorized use of VeryDarkMan's identity. This led to his remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre. Anwulika's support for the lawsuit has sparked varied reactions on social media, with netizens debating the implications of privacy violations and the role of wealth and education in legal matters.
Key reactions compiled from Facebook include:
- Tonero Links clarified, "Vdm didn't arrest Blord. It was a Court case and he was remanded."
- Jennifer ChellyOnwuguzo Ubani-ukoma commented on lawlessness in Nigeria, noting, "Blord's arrogance + ignorance of the law led him into acting in total disregard to the law. Money does not give sense."
- Dco Chinenye David criticized Blord's actions as childish, questioning the role of his legal team.
- Eunice Palmer remarked, "Wealth doesn't give sense, Blord is a case study."
- Ifeanyi Don Lati Okoye and Adim Ugochi praised Anwulika for her unbiased stance and truthfulness.
Background on the Feud and Broader Context
The conflict between Blord and VeryDarkMan has been ongoing, with this legal action marking a significant escalation. Anwulika's reversal underscores the importance of privacy rights in digital spaces, as she reminded others that Blord's actions set a concerning precedent. Meanwhile, a separate Facebook post from April 2 highlighted a positive anecdote about Blord, where a woman narrated how he helped her friend, who was sacked from a banking job and became broke, by providing employment after she visited his office seeking assistance.
This case continues to draw attention from Nigerian youths and social media users, reflecting broader discussions about accountability, privacy, and the intersection of wealth and legal knowledge in the country.
