Popular Nollywood Actor Ifeanyi Mayor has taken sides on long trending controversy going on between Social media billionaire BLord and Social media Activist Very Dark Man VDM.
The Nollywood Actor in a post he made on his official Facebook page explained how he started importing goods from China at the age of 23, and also slammed Very Dark Man for exposing BLord..
He said: "Before I became a film maker, I was a business man in Niger line, main market, Onitsha Anambra state..
I started importation before my 21st birthday by sending money through other importers to help me buy goods in Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong.
By my 23rd birthday I was already travelling to Hong Kong, China and Dubai importing various goods into Nigeria.
One extra importer in the market does not make any difference. You cannot sell to everyone. That is why I laugh at VDM who hasn't opened a shop in his entire life.
Till you travel abroad, load and ship your container, clear it from our customs and get it to your warehouse successfully, you'll not know the hidden costs of doing business in Nigeria.
You can buy something cheap in China but by the time your goods arrive your shop, your cost price may be already higher than the current selling price. Your goods never enter shop but you're already losing millions.
The problem is not the importers but the Nigerian system.
Your goods can suddenly be delayed at the ports for no reason and your BP go rise.
You'll leave your goods and be battling your health.
No be clear eyes I take run commot from importation.
It's not for the faint hearted.
If Verydarkblackman wants to truly help us Nigerians, he should tackle and expose the cost of clearing containers in Nigeria and the shege promax importers see in delivering goods from the wharf to their warehouses.
