Outspoken social media critic, Verydarkman, has promised to reduce the cost of gadgets in Nigeria upon his return, accusing local dealers of taking advantage of consumers with inflated prices.
In a video circulating online, he claimed that most gadget traders buy their goods cheaply from China but sell them at outrageous prices in Nigeria.
“When I return from China, things go cheap,” he declared, warning sellers to brace up for changes.
According to him, products such as power banks and chargers are being sold for up to five times their real value.
“A lot of una wey dey for gadget business make una just dey pray,” he said. “Power bank of N36,000 here go for N6,000 in China. Original charger wey dem dey sell N15,000 na just N1,200 for there.”
Verydarkman also dismissed the popular belief that Chinese-made products are inferior, insisting that many so-called “UK-used” phones in Nigeria are actually sourced from China.
He vowed to end what he described as years of consumer exploitation, saying Nigerians deserve better deals.
“Una don milk Nigerians too much, this exploitation must stop,” he added.
His words in part …
“A lot of Una wey dey for gadget business make Una just dey pray, because anything wey make me touch that country, a lot of things go cheap; Una don milk Nigerians too much. When I hear the price of original power banks for here, I shake my head. Power bank of 36K, you go see am here for 6k, 7k. Original charger of 15k for Nigeria na 1200k, 1300k. This people will first advertise that anything made in China is fake, but them go behind go bring everything in from China. example is UK-used phones. All those UK-used phones, na China them dey bring am from. Despite the tax, how them dey take bring phones from UK? Another way wey you go know say na lie be say check the population of UK. How many wey them dey wey dem dey bring phones wey de serve the whole of Nigeria…”
