Blord joins Sowore’s ‘revolution team’ after prison release

The recent release of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Ifejirika, widely known as Blord, and his subsequent alignment with Omoyele Sowore's "Revolution Team" marks a notable development in Nigeria's socio-political landscape. Blord's declaration, made shortly after his release from Kuje Prison, signifies a growing intersection between the tech and activism spheres, particularly concerning issues of justice and governance.

“

As a matter of fact, I have never met Omoyele Sowore in my life. I have never communicated, I have never called him on the phone, but when he heard that I was being intimidated, he had to step in.

Blord's narrative emphasizes the role of Sowore, a prominent activist and founder of the #RevolutionNow movement, in facilitating his release. Despite having no prior personal connection, Blord credits Sowore's intervention for altering his bail hearing date, a move he deeply appreciates. This highlights Sowore's continued influence and his network's ability to mobilize support for individuals facing legal challenges, positioning the "Revolution Team" as a significant force advocating for those perceived to be victims of injustice or governmental overreach.

Omoyele Sowore said, over his dead body, will that happen, and he did it as he said. He made sure the date was pushed forward.

The charges against Blord, involving impersonation and forgery linked to the alleged misuse of activist Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan)'s image in a product advertisement, stem from a dispute that gained traction in late 2025. This case, along with previous allegations of cryptocurrency fraud, places Blord at the center of discussions surrounding digital entrepreneurship, intellectual property, and the ethical considerations within the burgeoning tech industry in Nigeria. His joining Sowore's movement suggests a broader alignment with calls for systemic change and accountability.

I am on my way to Anambra, my people are waiting for me, but I said even if I am going to miss my flight, I must come to Sowore to say thank you.
