Nigerian businessman and tech entrepreneur, Blord, has sparked intense reactions online after publicly announcing legal action against controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan (VDM), over the use of the name RATEL. The development has ignited fresh debate on brand ownership, intellectual property rights, and the growing influence of digital activism in Nigeria.

In a strongly worded statement that quickly gained traction across social media platforms, Blord revealed that he has taken decisive steps to protect what he claims is now his legally recognized brand. According to him, the matter has gone beyond online banter and has entered the legal arena.

“I have directed my SAN to issue a cease-and-desist letter to VDM, instructing him to stop using my brand name, RATEL. He will have to get my approval henceforth before using the name RATEL,” Blord stated.

The declaration suggests that Blord believes he holds exclusive rights to the name and is prepared to enforce them through legal means. He further emphasized that the name RATEL now belongs to him, a claim that has generated widespread controversy, especially among followers of VeryDarkMan, who is popularly associated with the RATEL identity in his activism and online exposés.

Blord’s move is being interpreted by many as a bold attempt to assert dominance over branding rights in Nigeria’s increasingly competitive digital space. Supporters of the tech entrepreneur argue that brand registration and ownership must be respected, regardless of public sentiment. On the other hand, critics view the action as an attempt to silence or intimidate a vocal social commentator.

VeryDarkMan has yet to issue a detailed response addressing the legal threat, but the situation continues to unfold as Nigerians await clarity on who truly owns the RATEL name. Legal experts have also weighed in, noting that trademark registration, usage history, and public association will play a crucial role should the dispute escalate to court.

As conversations rage online, one thing is clear: the clash between Blord and VeryDarkMan has transcended social media drama and entered the realm of serious legal and branding warfare, with RATEL at the center of the storm.
