VeryDarkMan Threatens to Disrupt Market Over iPhone 18 Pricing, Warns Nigerian Vendors

Deepa Varma·September 11, 2026·2 min read

Nigerian social media critic VeryDarkMan has warned gadget vendors against raising prices on the newly launched iPhone 18, LEADERSHIP Newspapers reports. In a message shared online, he said he would disrupt the market if sellers inflate prices, using the phrase "I go spoil market" to signal his intent.

The warning came after the iPhone 18 launch, according to Yen News, which described him as a popular social media critic. Legit News reports that he also shared his plans to buy the new iPhone 18, and that some reactions online called for Blord's version of events — a reference to another figure whose response readers appeared to be awaiting.

Coverage of the warning spread across several Nigerian outlets. YNaija, meanwhile, raised a separate question: whether Nigerian content creators actually need the iPhone 18 Pro. That piece sits alongside the pricing debate as part of the wider discussion following the device's release.

VeryDarkMan, whose real name is not given in the reports, is known for publicly pressuring businesses and individuals over practices he considers unfair. His threat here targets vendors specifically, not Apple or the device itself.

The reports do not state what specific prices vendors are charging, what action he might take, or whether any vendor has responded. LEADERSHIP Newspapers published its report on Thursday, 10 September 2026.

What to watch next: whether vendors adjust their prices, and whether Blord issues the response some social media users appear to be expecting.
