Popular social media activist VeryDarkMan and businessman BLord were recently seen exchanging a handshake, in what appears to be a brief but notable moment amid their ongoing tension.

In the footage circulating online, BLord is seen smiling during the interaction, while no clear indication was given that both parties have resolved their differences.

The development has sparked mixed reactions, with some observers interpreting the gesture as a sign of possible de-escalation, while others believe it was merely a civil or momentary exchange.
During the handshake VeryDarkMan made a statement suggesting a shift in his focus away from BLord.

“It’s not about BLord anymore, it's a thing of pride, It’s about showing Omoyele Sowore, that he can't do anything and I will show him..
I want to show him I'm a ratel”

As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from Sowore.

If you are wondering how this whole VDM vs Blord saga started and why it has escalated this much, here’s a quick breakdown:

This VDM too mature walahi!

Lol.. he has been pressured.. but his pride almost made him look inhumane

Werey... blord abeg come and carry your flower.. you fought like a man.. you are not a coward, you bullied a bully

This guy na mumu... Starting a war you cannot win

Two content creators using Nigerians to catch cruise..

Take the both of them and their social media gimmicks seriously at your own peril 😀

Two major distractions to Nigerians at this point in time!

Lol this is really funny

Power corrupt, absolute power corrupt absolutely

Is VDM fighting public oppressors or Is he now one of the oppressors?

Too immature you mean to write

Noted.


That's how matured men do.

Make I go find work so I won't follow up.

Any beef whereby hands are not thrown then it's social media clout chasing.

If he like let him check hand.

The real Anambrarians will never forget.

CaptainFM1:

I swear the guy too mature

Make this guy go siddon abeg. You must never be the main character all the time. Nigeria is bigger than you and will move on without your presence. Even Sowore is bigger than you

Too immature? For seeking a redress of his grievances legally?

VDM,let it go


Sowore was 100% right about Blord's imprisonment.You were wrong.

If it can be done to Blord (I don't even like him)it can be done to anyone else.That was Sowore's stance.

I like you so swallow your pride & also apologize to Sowore for all your negative comments about him in the past weeks.

Let VDM get out. He is very stupid.

It's a criminal case

blord committed a crime

am i dreaming here, where criminals can't answer for their crimes anymore
Even boko haram are sent back to the society after killing soldiers and what not..

Blord used someone's image and likeness for financial gain without consent.. it's criminal

Imagine me using RMD image right as an ambassador to my business, claimed i paid him 500m, use his picture for adverts..

He will sue the hell out of me and there's no way I'm winning such, i would be remanded until I fulfill my bail and will pay him damages..

What's the level of your education.. did you understand what I wrote up there, does it make any sense to you

All this content creator sef

It's all for clouts...

Nonsense

Nor just try Sowore or it will be your last bus stop...na me talk am VDM.

You call sending a grown man to jail content creation? Grow up!

I been don dey like this guy before, so, what will you do to Sowore after he facilitate the release of Blord, guy Sowore pass you, no be for mouth.

Sowore should ignore the tout who wants to use him to grow his image.

ZombieTERROR:
It's a criminal case

blord committed a crime

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty...including Blord

He was supposed to be arrested,held for 48hours and then granted bail but he wasn't.

If the case was to be taken to court later on,fine but he wasn't supposed to be detained by the authourities for 7 to 14 days without bail.

VDM was using his influence to oppress Blord.That was what Sowore was protesting against.

Once again, VDM was wrong and Sowore was right.

I repeat,i actually like VDM and i do not like Blord but what is right is right

atikubaba:
Too immature you mean to write

Very mature.

He first teach Blord a lesson, then use the second hand to welcome him.

TheGreat99:
This guy na mumu... Starting a war you cannot win

you mean VDM can not win? Okay

Silly distractions from the main issues at hand 🫤

Still doesn’t change the reality of things!

Maybe you should do the growing up. It will do yo a whole lot of good . Cheers and do have a nice day
