A Chinese businessman known as Ross Boss has responded to accusations of scamming a Nigerian customer, allegations brought to light by Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan. The dispute revolves around an alleged scam involving a full container of goods and features a complex exchange of positions between VeryDarkMan and Ross Boss.

Initial Partnership: VeryDarkMan had previously promoted Ross Boss as a trusted business associate for Nigerians seeking to import goods from China. In March 2025, he highlighted how Ross Boss had helped him recover money from a separate scam and praised the businessman for opening up opportunities to Nigerians.

VeryDarkMan’s Reversal: In October 2025, VeryDarkMan publicly withdrew his endorsement of Ross Boss. He released videos retracting his earlier statements and cautioning Nigerians to exercise care when dealing with Ross Boss.

The Scam Allegation: This reversal was triggered by a complaint from a Nigerian woman who claimed that Ross Boss had scammed her out of a full container of goods. In his video, VeryDarkMan explained that he no longer trusts Ross Boss after observing what he described as "shady" business practices during a trip to China.

Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan (VDM) and BLord have been engaging in an online exchange after VDM accused BLord—a popular cryptocurrency entrepreneur—of selling repackaged iPhone XRs as iPhone 17s and selling cars at exorbitant prices to Nigerians. VDM vowed to reveal secrets behind sourcing these items cheaper in China and promised to show Nigerians how to get products shipped from China at lower costs.

Ross Boss’s Response: Ross Boss, described as VDM’s “China plug,” has publicly responded to VeryDarkMan’s accusations. He challenged the woman to report the case to the police in China, stating clearly that if the allegations were true, he would face severe legal consequences, including being jailed in China. He also pointed to his substantial inventory to question the likelihood of risking his entire business over a single transaction.

In addition, Ross Boss made several counterclaims against VeryDarkMan:

He called VeryDarkMan "childish and immature" and accused him of using his influence to fabricate false evidence.

He alleged that VeryDarkMan was attempting to use a “nameless girl” to defame him.

He stated that he had spent $15,000 (about N23 million) on VeryDarkMan during his visit to China and presented receipts as proof.

Regarding VeryDarkMan’s claim of seeing 15 Facebook accounts on his phone, Ross Boss clarified that the accounts belonged to his sales staff.

He also claimed that VeryDarkMan’s so-called “direct Chinese contact” named “Wanyi Accessories” was actually VeryDarkMan’s sister, Vivian Otse, pretending to be Chinese.

In the video, Ross Boss alleged that it is actually VDM who has an EFCC case and questioned why VDM is now labeling him a scammer.

Ross Boss explained that he has been in business for over 10 years—long before VeryDarkMan came to China this year—and that he has never taken a kobo from VDM. He dared VDM to focus on what they actually do together instead of trying to paint him as a scammer.

He also challenged VeryDarkMan to provide any evidence of a scam, stating that he is waiting for proof.


The conflict has escalated into a public dispute, with both parties trading accusations online. The situation has highlighted broader issues in cross-border trade between Nigeria and China, including the risks of online scams and the challenges of seeking legal recourse in international business transactions. VeryDarkMan has maintained his position, while Ross Boss continues to defend his reputation and business practices.

Make e be . Leave am like that for us We love him like that........Not everyone is as hungry as the men who've been wooing you, you hear

But Jennyclay,why is it that it's only feminists and fake nyash and boobs promoters that hate VDM? . Abi is there something you people know that we don't know?

I always laugh at the gullibility of those who regard VDM as an activist.. No be only activist, na freedom fighter

Any smart person should have known by now that VDM is just another version of Portable, always doing everything he can to be on the headlines

VDM is an attention seeker and an engagements farmer.. Everything he does is to farm engagements through controversies and then smile to the bank

It's as simple as that!

VDM iss getting himself into too many controversies of recent...he should take it easy ooh,because once nigerians loose interest and trust in him...it over ooooohhh!!!

While I don't think he was the one trying to scam the lady in question , every other thing VDM said about him is probably true, Chinese people can be very deceitful.

Is VDM an activist or a business man?

RATelles, what say you , make una come defend vdm the saint

Convincing people to order from your sister( Wanyi) isn't the problem but damaging people's reputation just to promote your sister is uncalled for.

Ever since this man hastily judged Mercy Chinwo, I find him very complicated and shady. You might trust him sha because Nigerians love overnight saviour.

Many followers of VDM are clueless and do not have logical reasoning, The guy is pure content creator, making money from his gullible followers.
I'm waiting for him to crash the price of goods and services in Nigeria, 😂😂😂😂

VDM should know Asians can look simple but once they mean you it can go awry..if he doesn't take time I see him doing jail time in China soon because of this unethical middleman nonsense

I don’t blame VDM at all for behaving like a fool, it’s his brainless scumbags of supporters I fear for. I detest this VDM guy to the marrow. What’s his source of wealth asides philanthropy and NGO (in quote). What’s his mantra? What does he really stand for?

He has his mouth and nose in every issue under the sun. Dem never jail am, e go soon chop 27years like Mandela.

VDM followers are just zombies.




To see any of them with sense is by strong connection.

VDM should focused on politics and government and fighting for the right of citizens...business is a dangerous terrain that will mess up ...the dynamics of business requires deep knowledge of how it's operates...for VDM who have little knowledge and experience he should relax ...business people will make him lose relevance...and it has begun with this chinko guy

He better leave china before his next point of call will be Chinese jail.....

Blord will be sipping Cognac with smiles.....😀😀😀

Stop this SW behavior of pull down syndrome. The Chinese guy said nothing in his video in I watched the entire thing.

He spent the whole time trying to gaslight VDM. He spent the time telling us how VDM is a small boy and how he paid for flight and hotel and bought him clothes.
Infact he sounded very guilty. You guys should stop this your genetic behavior of being negative and hateful

He thought business is Cho Cho cho…
Instead of him to focus on the government that is impoverishing its citizens,he is busy fighting businessmen up and down.

Okay! A case of two scammers scamming gullible Nigerians exposing themselves before the world.

Na Blord I dey wait for like this.

Him don see food, him and portable

VDM keeps letting people know who he really is.
The reason he does his so-called activism is to give his followers an illusion that he is a good person.

Ratel squad representing here, only corrupt people hate VDM....

This vdm guy is a manipulator

So because China Ross was a good person before means he can't change to bad or probably was just pretending all along.
Maybe VDM is also just trying to paint him black.
Either way there is more to this, the truth will be established with time, if it is not a publicity stunt as usual.
For now, if you do business with China Ross na those influencers bashing VDM right now go fight for you if things go sour.
Will you still blame VDM or expect him to fight for you after issuing warnings ⚠?

Wonder why any sane person will create so many enemies for himself. Well they say no publicity is a bad publicity
