  Hello and welcome back to an episode of Bantu Lorencia.
• 0:06
  How are you all doing? If you're doing great for
• 0:08
  today's episode, don't to talk about VDM and Be Load.
• 0:12
  They are fighting guys. They are fighting again.
• 0:15
  Now Be Load and VDM, they go way back.
• 0:19
  VDM dragged B load, B load dragged VDM.
• 0:23
  That was last year. And then over customer service,
• 0:27
  I think VDM, somebody complained to VDM that they kind of sent
• 0:32
  money because B load, he has so many businesses, crypto being
• 0:36
  one of them. And I think people paid money to
• 0:39
  his platform and they were supposed to like get double the
• 0:43
  money, you know, this crypto scam, allegedly.
• 0:48
  So some people paid him money and they were expecting to get
• 0:51
  maybe double the amount of money.
• 0:53
  But after paying the money into the accounts, they said they
• 0:56
  they got locked out of the account.
• 0:58
  So when they reached out to B Lord, B Lord denied that that
• 1:02
  was not his platform. He said that some people were
• 1:04
  scamming him using other platforms and people were paying
• 1:08
  into those accounts and not his account.
• 1:12
  So several people reported to VDMVDM came out, called out B
• 1:15
  Lord. That was the genesis of that
• 1:18
  problem. Anyway.
• 1:19
  We remember last year when VDM said that money was stolen from
• 1:24
  his account. B Lord came out and called him a
• 1:26
  thief, saying that he learned from his mother because his
• 1:29
  mother had an issue with a bank. I think it was Access Bank or GT
• 1:36
  Bank. I don't even know which of the
• 1:37
  banks. So she said that somebody took
• 1:39
  loan in her name and they've been garnishing her wages.
• 1:43
  So Vidian went to the bank. That was when he was picked up
• 1:46
  by the EFCC. Listen, VDM has so many cases
• 1:48
  going on. But during that period was when
• 1:52
  B Lord came out and accused VDM of being the thief that he
• 1:56
  learned from his mother. Everybody expected VDM to blow
• 2:00
  up as usual. But he just, you know, 'cause at
• 2:03
  that point he has so many cases to be honest.
• 2:05
  So he everything went. Now we're just sitting out
• 2:08
  minding our business. B Lord decided to sell phones.
• 2:13
  B Lord is into so many businesses, real estate, cars, I
• 2:17
  mean everything, name it anything that could his unable
• 2:20
  voice, anything that will give you money and profits.
• 2:22
  B Lord is down South. B Lord made a video talks about
• 2:26
  when iPhone 17 came out. He said that he has new phones
• 2:31
  because Nigerians are going crazy.
• 2:33
  Everybody wanted iPhone 17, but iPhone 17 in Nigeria depending
• 2:38
  on the the gig you're buying is at least maximum of over 4
• 2:42
  million naira, but minimum you can get it for 2,000,002 point
• 2:45
  something million. But most people don't have that
• 2:48
  money sitting down in the accounts that they could just
• 2:51
  spend on phone. And you know if you're buying in
• 2:53
  Nigeria, it's not like you're buying contracts that you pay
• 2:56
  monthly, pay over 36 months or something like that.
• 2:58
  You have to pay in full. So most people could not afford
• 3:02
  that. So people they were able to
• 3:04
  afford it. Hey, mirror selfies, everybody
• 3:08
  was taking pictures. I remember seeing token machine
• 3:11
  wire on the red carpet. She just came out of a car and
• 3:14
  immediately she saw that people were recording.
• 3:17
  She just put her in her pockets to bring out her own.
• 3:20
  It was so funny. I, I looked at it like, jeez,
• 3:25
  people are going crazy. So everybody was trying to get
• 3:28
  iPhone 17 Pro and you know, it looked beautiful.
• 3:32
  Orange cover. People were going for the orange
• 3:35
  cover because it was flashy. So Billot came out and said that
• 3:40
  instead of paying 4 million for iPhone 17 Pro, you can buy it
• 3:44
  for 450,000 that he went to China.
• 3:47
  He just got to, they sent him to within 24 hours.
• 3:50
  Now he's selling for 450,000 that everybody should come and
• 3:55
  buy in the next maybe 48 hours or 24 hours.
• 3:58
  Billot came out with over 200 phones, saying that he has more
• 4:02
  in stock for people that want to buy.
• 4:04
  Now before all this drama, Very dark man is in China trying to,
• 4:09
  you know, do business. I don't even know what he's
• 4:11
  doing in China because he's not a businessman.
• 4:13
  But he said he wants to. He opened up an office in
• 4:16
  Nigeria saying that he wants to be like a consultant for people
• 4:20
  who want to buy goods in China. Instead of going to China and
• 4:23
  getting duped or the Chinese people, instead of getting duped
• 4:26
  by Nigerians, he could act as a middle man, which is a fantastic
• 4:31
  business model. Like I was like, OK, he's he's
• 4:35
  getting it. He's getting it.
• 4:37
  So I was, I was happy for him. He was in videos talking about,
• 4:40
  you know, so many things and we just woke up and video made a
• 4:44
  video. He said that below is a thief,
• 4:47
  below the selling phones, The phone that he's selling for
• 4:51
  450,000 naira for everything to get that phone to Nigeria is
• 4:55
  about 280,000. That anybody that wants to buy
• 4:59
  the phone that he's willing to sell the phone to them.
• 5:03
  Social media was on fire and usually Very Dark man doesn't
• 5:07
  leave his comment section open, but he left it open because I
• 5:10
  think he wanted people to talk. I think he wanted to see
• 5:14
  people's opinion and get people's, you know, gauge
• 5:18
  people. He's very people.
• 5:20
  He calls people manipulative, but very dark man is very, very
• 5:23
  manipulative. He opened up the comment section
• 5:26
  and Billot commented. Billot was like, listen, you're
• 5:30
  just there for a very short period.
• 5:32
  You're still going to come back to Nigeria.
• 5:34
  We lost that he has offices in China, that he has about 5
• 5:38
  different staff in China working for him.
• 5:41
  So when very dark man is tired and come back to Nigeria, he
• 5:44
  will continue his business. But that now generated a whole
• 5:47
  lot of conversation online because people are saying that
• 5:50
  our people, our businesses actually making 100% profits or
• 5:56
  even 1000% profit on some of the goods that they buy.
• 5:59
  Because most times in Nigeria, especially secondhand goods,
• 6:03
  they will tell you, oh, it's coming from the UKUK refurbished
• 6:07
  UK used. But most times it is not UK, it
• 6:11
  is coming from China. So all those phones that they're
• 6:16
  saying UK used UK, I mean UK, I don't even know how many people
• 6:19
  are in UK to service Nigeria, which was one of the points that
• 6:23
  VD embraced. But the conversation now is what
• 6:28
  VDM did. Was he right?
• 6:32
  And the reason why I would say it's not right is because when
• 6:36
  he opened an office in in Nigeria, I was very happy
• 6:40
  because I was thinking, OK, yes, he is now getting into business.
• 6:44
  Like not everybody's a businessman.
• 6:46
  Some people are just good at providing services.
• 6:50
  Some people are just good at talking speakers, orators, That
• 6:55
  is what they are good at. Some people are not good at
• 6:57
  business and I don't think VDM is a businessman because from
• 7:02
  they dots, everything he has done, if he was business
• 7:06
  inclined, he would have made a whole lot of money.
• 7:09
  Even if he's saying that he doesn't want to collect money
• 7:11
  for advert, he doesn't want to collect money for this, he
• 7:14
  doesn't want to do this. He is not a capitalist, OK?
• 7:17
  Let me put it that way. He is not a capitalist and to be
• 7:19
  a business person you have to be a capitalist, OK, Because you
• 7:23
  need profit regardless of how you want to look at it.
• 7:27
  People will say B Lord is greedy because he's collecting over
• 7:30
  100,000 naira on top of each phone and just imagine maybe he
• 7:35
  has 500 of those phones that he's going to sell, which some
• 7:39
  people will think, oh that is too much.
• 7:41
  But the reality is, if you're a business person and you
• 7:47
  researched something, you took out time, you researched that
• 7:50
  thing, nobody was doing it. Yes, people might be selling
• 7:54
  that particular phone even before B Lord, but who brought
• 7:58
  it to the limelight? He did that publicity.
• 8:01
  If as a business person you could, you paid B Lord to do
• 8:05
  that advert, you know how much you'd have paid billowed.
• 8:08
  That would have been a whole lot of money that you would have
• 8:11
  paid billow to do that, to do the advert.
• 8:13
  But he did that because he was advertising for his business.
• 8:16
  So whether you like it or not, he has businesses, he has staff,
• 8:20
  he has shops that he needs to, he pays tax.
• 8:25
  So he's a businessman and all those things need to be factored
• 8:28
  in. Some people just sit down at
• 8:30
  home and sell things. You're not, you don't have a
• 8:34
  brick and mortar kind of situation or structure.
• 8:37
  So you don't factor in all those costs.
• 8:40
  But if you're a business person who pays staff every month, who
• 8:43
  pays lights generator bill, you, you, you, you run a business on
• 8:50
  a day-to-day basis, which according to people in Nigeria
• 8:53
  it is very expensive. So you have to factor in all
• 8:56
  those costs into the whole thing.
• 8:58
  But is he right? The profit margin?
• 9:02
  I think for me, everything depends on how much you want to
• 9:07
  make. So now VD, I'm trying to stop
• 9:09
  Billot from making that amount of profit.
• 9:12
  Shared his number or shared said he's sharing the number of the
• 9:16
  Chinese people for people to contact them directly and buy
• 9:20
  those phones. Ladies and gentlemen, it was
• 9:23
  actually Vidian sister. He's he shared his sister's
• 9:27
  number and people started contacting her and it was
• 9:30
  actually his sister and what's her name that So it was a reason
• 9:35
  concerned. They said video we're trying to
• 9:37
  scam also we're running from B Lord and then we're thinking
• 9:42
  that you are the the right person to run to, but you're
• 9:44
  trying to scam us. But I just think that VDM, if he
• 9:50
  wants to do business, he's going about it the wrong way, which is
• 9:54
  why I said he is not a businessman.
• 9:57
  Because the reality is that in business there's no permanent
• 10:03
  enemy. It's just like politics.
• 10:05
  There's no permanent enemy. There's no permanent friend.
• 10:07
  Because at the end of the day, there's going to be a point
• 10:10
  where you're going to do business with one, 2-3 or four
• 10:13
  people that maybe you're not in good terms with.
• 10:17
  Or you're going to be in a room or that person might be in a
• 10:20
  room where they will have to recommend somebody.
• 10:24
  And if your name comes up, they might not want to work with you
• 10:27
  because of that feedback or the feedback they will give to those
• 10:31
  people will make them not to work with you.
• 10:33
  So there are so many things wrong in the way VDM went about
• 10:41
  it. For me.
• 10:41
  I think VDM has the platform, he has the reach he has.
• 10:46
  Like if I was VDM, I will go to China, look at something that,
• 10:50
  OK, everybody is buying and maybe rebrand, let's say
• 10:55
  chargers, let's say that because you know that everybody's buying
• 10:59
  charger, let's say power bank, you know, everybody's buying
• 11:02
  power bank, let's say adapt. There are some things that you
• 11:05
  know that everybody needs. And most times because of your
• 11:11
  rich people are going to buy from you.
• 11:14
  Why not partner with people if people are going to China to buy
• 11:18
  it for maybe, or they're ordering from China and they're
• 11:22
  buying it for maybe 500 naira. And you, you know that in China
• 11:26
  they're selling it wholesale price for 200 naira and you can
• 11:30
  ship it for maybe because you're buying in large quantities,
• 11:33
  you're shipping it for maybe 100 naira.
• 11:37
  You could make massive amount of money because if they're buying
• 11:41
  it for 500 and then you can make maybe 100 naira.
• 11:45
  Listen, I think, yeah, he's not a businessman.
• 11:49
  He's not actually a businessman because if money was the the the
• 11:54
  goal, which is why people say VDM tries to or likes bringing
• 12:00
  people down. And this is becoming true
• 12:04
  because if money was the goal, if he was trying to enlighten
• 12:06
  people, there are so many things he could have just bought his
• 12:09
  own phone without mentioning a bill.
• 12:12
  Lord, There are so many things that people are selling at a
• 12:15
  very high amount that he could have crashed the price without
• 12:20
  even bringing anybody down. But that is his model.
• 12:25
  He likes calling people out. He likes setting, maybe trying
• 12:30
  to be the the big wolves, the big, you know, trying to make
• 12:35
  sure that people see that he's trying to do good.
• 12:39
  Yeah. What do you think?
• 12:42
  If you were in B Lord's shoe, would you have?
• 12:44
  And B Lord in this whole fight share the very dark man's his
• 12:52
  Bola, his nude. B Lord told everybody what all
• 12:57
  these followers that anybody listen VDM has sold nude online
• 13:05
  on Snapchat, on TikTok, wherever on Twitter or X he he has done
• 13:12
  that. So one when the whole fight was
• 13:15
  hitting up Billot asked his followers to share anybody that
• 13:19
  gives him the nude he's going to give the person 500,000.
• 13:23
  Somebody sensed that to Billot. Billot credited person and share
• 13:27
  the video on WhatsApp now video. I'm finding that out decided to
• 13:31
  send a a fresh a fresh and recent video to to to be load.
• 13:39
  I mean he promised to be sending us on a daily basis.
• 13:43
  But these two people, I think VDM is just mad because because
• 13:48
  he said imagine that small boy. That was one, one thing he said
• 13:51
  I was like that small boy, Why? I think what has that got to do?
• 13:54
  He has a business mindset. OK, yes, whether you, you the
• 13:59
  both of you are the same age as a billionaire according to
• 14:02
  people, I don't know, I am not in their pockets, but that is
• 14:07
  the story. Even if the small boy is doing
• 14:09
  business and he's a billionaire, what has that got to do with
• 14:13
  anything? And in the middle of this whole
• 14:15
  conversations and Nigerians who want to belong, people who don't
• 14:20
  have money to buy iPhone 17 Pro are going for iPhone Sr which
• 14:28
  has been upgraded to iPhone, iPhone 17.
• 14:31
  Like just imagine you were using iPhone 13, you couldn't buy
• 14:35
  iPhone 14, you couldn't buy iPhone 15, you couldn't buy
• 14:38
  iPhone 16 and then iPhone 17 is out.
• 14:43
  So now you have to drop iPhone 13 to take iPhone Sr, which was
• 14:50
  produced I think the last production was or was produced
• 14:52
  in 2019. Just because you want to hold a
• 14:56
  phone that matches the the wave or the new thing to just to
• 15:01
  belong is the problem. VDM is the problem B Lord or are
• 15:08
  we Nigerians actually the problem?
• 15:12
  People who want to belong at all cost, People who want to, who
• 15:16
  want to arrive because even the culture pushes that if you
• 15:19
  arrive at an event, not looking the part, nobody's going to
• 15:22
  consider you. People might even just share
• 15:25
  food and not even give you. But if you arrive at an event
• 15:28
  and you're holding your iPhone Sr, which has been upgraded to
• 15:33
  17 Pro, people will run around like you're only 4 million in
• 15:37
  your hand. You will see people rallying
• 15:39
  around, trying to serve you, greeting you, opening the doors,
• 15:42
  doing all those things. So who are we to blame in this
• 15:46
  situation? Is it Nigerians who are buying
• 15:48
  these fake upgraded, upgraded phones?
• 15:52
  Or is it these two people that just want to use us to play?
• 15:56
  Let me know what you think. Thank you very much for
• 15:58
  attending this episode. Please like, like, like and
• 15:59
  share. Thank you very much for
• 16:01
