A Nigerian “relationship expert”, Blessing CEO, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Blessing CEO, whose real name is Blessing Nkiruka Okoro, disclosed this on Wednesday morning in a viral video shared on her Instagram page.
Breaking down in tears, she showed how cancer has been causing her hair loss.
Reacting to the development, her fans took to social media to express their heartfelt sympathies.
@King_Naeto noted: “Nobody deserves this pain. This video is so emotional, bringing us all back to remember who we are on this earth ‘sand’. After all the struggle and hustle, may sickness never give us the greatest heartbreak.”
@TheChubiyo wrote: “This is heartbreaking. Sending Blessing CEO all the strength and love during this difficult fight. You’re not alone. We’re all rooting for you.”
@MairoEnoch stated: “News like this is a reminder that beyond the noise, opinions, and online personas, people are still human (fragile, vulnerable, and facing battles we may never fully understand).”
@Idris_senator said: “This is deeply heartbreaking news. Blessing CEO being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer is a serious and challenging situation, and it’s understandable that she feels scared. At times like this, compassion matters more than anything else. Wishing her strength, comfort, and the best possible care as she goes through treatment.”
@Tolatheenigma wrote: “Even if I don’t like her on these social media platforms, I’m saying my prayers for her and hoping all goes well for her.”
Meanwhile, Blessing has started auctioning her valuables to raise funds for cancer treatment.
This came a few hours after she announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer.
In subsequent posts on Instagram page, Blessing CEO said she is putting her car, wigs, and her Lagos mansion up for sale to pay for chemotherapy and other medical care.
Speaking in one of the videos, she said: “Hey guys, to those of you who have always admired my wigs, I’m going to be auctioning them for sale because I need money for Chemo. So please, the fastest finger should just text me, don’t stress me because I’m already going through a lot.”
