Financial adviser and influencer Gehgeh warned Nigerian activist VeryDarkMan that his business selling power banks and power stations could benefit from failures in electricity supply. He issued the warning after the reported arrival of a 40-foot container full of batteries, the Daily Post Nigeria reports.

Nigerian financial expert and social media personality Gehgeh has urged activist VeryDarkMan to abandon his business selling power banks and power stations. He believes the business could make VeryDarkMan a player in Nigeria’s energy difficulties by profiting from weak electricity supply, the Daily Post reports.

Gehgeh issued the warning after a 40-foot container reportedly filled with power banks belonging to VeryDarkMan’s business arrived, according to the Daily Post. The activist was presented not only as a seller of electrical products, but as someone whose business could benefit directly from power cuts and insufficient electricity supply in Nigeria.
