VeryDarkMan to Import Budget-Friendly Products from China, All Under $100
Popular Nigerian activist and social media figure, VeryDarkMan, has revealed new business plans that could change how many Nigerians shop for everyday products.

The outspoken online personality, known for his bold takes on politics and social issues, surprised followers this week by turning attention to business and entrepreneurship. In a live session, he explained that his plan is simple: bring in useful, high-quality products that ordinary Nigerians can afford without breaking the bank.
Products for Daily Needs
While he did not reveal the full list of items, VeryDarkMan said the products will be multipurpose and practical for daily living. He emphasized affordability, saying his goal is to make sure “nobody feels priced out.” According to him, every product he sells will cost less than $100 — a decision he believes will make his business stand out in Nigeria’s crowded market.
“These things are not for the rich only,” he told fans. “They are for everybody. I want the average Nigerian to buy quality products at a price they can handle.”
Made in China, Sold in Nigeria
China has become a major supplier of goods around the world, especially in Africa, where many businesses rely on Chinese factories to provide affordable electronics, household tools, clothing, and gadgets. By importing directly, VeryDarkMan hopes to cut out middlemen and reduce the final cost for customers.
Economic experts say his approach reflects a growing trend of young Nigerians exploring trade with China. With inflation rising and local prices climbing, many consumers are searching for cheaper alternatives. Importers like VeryDarkMan are betting that Chinese-made products can fill the gap.
Why Under $100?
In Nigeria today, many imported products often sell for several times their actual value, especially after shipping costs, customs, and retailer markups. VeryDarkMan believes that setting a clear ceiling of $100 per item will make customers trust his brand and view his business as people-centered.
“It is not about selling expensive things. It is about solving problems,” he explained. “People want affordable products that can do more than one job. That’s what I am bringing.”
Support and Skepticism
Reactions online have been mixed. Supporters praised the move as a smart way to empower ordinary Nigerians with affordable goods. Some even called it a “game-changer” in a country where many imported items are seen as luxuries.
Others, however, raised concerns about the quality of Chinese imports, warning that not all cheap products stand the test of time. Critics also questioned whether he could keep prices low while covering shipping and customs duties.
Despite the questions, VeryDarkMan said he is committed to ensuring quality and transparency. He promised that all products would be tested before sales and that he would not compromise his reputation for quick profit.
Business Meets Influence
For years, VeryDarkMan has built a large following online by speaking on social issues and calling out corruption. His shift into entrepreneurship shows how influencers in Nigeria are increasingly moving beyond commentary into practical ventures. Some analysts believe his influence will give him an advantage in attracting customers who already trust his voice.
“Nigerians don’t just want talk anymore,” said a Lagos-based business analyst. “They want solutions. If VeryDarkMan can deliver good products at fair prices, he will win.”
With the announcement generating buzz, many Nigerians are now waiting to see the first batch of products arrive. VeryDarkMan has not set an official launch date but hinted that sales will begin soon.
His venture could provide a new model for young Nigerians looking to combine social influence with entrepreneurship. Whether it succeeds or struggles, one thing is clear: Nigerians are watching closely.

The award-winning artiste made the revelation in the lyrics of his new song Moviestar, a collaboration with French pianist Sofiane Pamart.
Rema, who rose to prominence after signing with Mavin Records and dropping his debut EP in 2019 at just 19, suggested that his early breakthrough came with difficulties that are not visible to the public.
He noted that many people misunderstand his journey because they do not realise how young he was when he entered the spotlight, adding that he “got caught up so young” and went through personal struggles.
In the song, the 25-year-old also made striking claims about his experiences during fame, alleging that he was introduced to drugs by some women.
He sang: “Girls always give me drugs. My happiness is zipped in their little purse… Friends always make me feel robbed…”

Through the lyrics, he hinted at constant pressure to perform and entertain, often without regard for his emotional well-being.
He added that the pain he endured is often hidden behind the glamorous image fans see of his success.
