The testing exercise comes amid a growing market rivalry between VDM’s Ratel and Blord’s Blunt Power products, which have slashed prices by around 40 percent since the Ratel shipment, prompting questions about past pricing and sparking hopes for cheaper solar options in the country.
VDM, who has faced public scrutiny over his character and intentions in recent months, said integrity remains the best identity anyone can put out there, adding that when character has been tested, intentions questioned and one still stands firm, one can walk with head high, chin up and shoulders back.
“RATEL POWER 1200w/992wh product testing, VDM has put all his products into proper testing before putting them out for sale. This is what we call tested and trusted integrity. Integrity is the best identity anyone can put out there. When your character has been tested, your intentions questioned and you still stand firm, you can walk with your head high chin up and shoulders back,” a supporter wrote on X while sharing the product testing video.
It was gathered that with off-grid solar booming in Nigeria due to unreliable electricity supply and incessant grid collapses, demand for portable power stations has surged, with consumers seeking affordable alternatives to fuel generators.
VDM plans to limit sales to two units per person to spread access wider amid the growing market rivalry, a move that has been commended by supporters as a strategy to prevent hoarding and ensure wider distribution.
The development has sparked reactions on X, with many Nigerians praising VDM’s approach to product integrity and transparency, while others compare pricing between Ratel and Blord products.
Efforts to get a response from Blord on the reported 40 percent price cut as of the time of filing this report were unsuccessful.
