I Don’t Even Know What To Do — Blessing CEO Laments After Revealing Stage 4 Cancer Diagnosis (Video)

Relationship expert Blessing CEO has spoken out about her health after revealing that she is battling stage 4 cancer.

In a video, she expressed deep appreciation for the support, prayers, and contributions she has received, admitting that the situation has been overwhelming for her.

She explained that the illness started last year as a lump in her breast. After initial tests, she was told it was not cancerous, which made her delay removing it due to other personal commitments at the time.

However, she said when she later returned for further checks earlier this year, another biopsy revealed that the lump had become cancerous and had already spread.

According to her, doctors are now considering surgery, but she said there are still uncertainties about the full extent of the condition until further procedures are carried out.

She also used the moment to highlight the need for more awareness about cancer, admitting that she previously did not fully understand the seriousness of the disease.

Blessing CEO added that the situation has been difficult for her to process, especially as someone who rarely falls sick and is not used to hospital environments.

While stating that she is not one to seek pity, she appealed for support, explaining that medical treatment has left her feeling vulnerable and unable to function at full capacity.

It’s Time To Experience What Pain Feels Like – Nigerian Actress, Sarah Martins Mocks Blessing CEO Following Cancer Diagnosis

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has alleged that the spirit of the late Bimbo Ogbonna, wife of IVD, is behind Blessing CEO’s illness.

Martins made this claim while commenting on Blessing CEO’s alleged battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Blessing CEO, a popular self-acclaimed relationship expert, on Wednesday solicited financial assistance from the public for chemotherapy treatment.

Reacting to the controversial claim by Blessing CEO, the actress blasted her for speaking against late Bimbo who died from injury sustained from a fire outbreak that happened during a violent incident with IVD at their Lagos residence.

While applauding the Bimbo’s spirit, Sarah urged her to make sure she kills everyone involved in her death.

Speaking in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the actress said “What a day to be alive. Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there, keep it up Kpai them all. Either through cancer or whatever means!

“They bragged and mocked your death, now it’s time to experience what pain feels like. Blessing no be for here u go jogodo!

“You mocked the death of a woman that did nothing to you and still went ahead to flaunt her husband after personalizing him!

“God neither sleeps nor slumbers. His timing is always perfect. No be only cancer you go face o, craze go later join. Agba amu”, she wrote.

Recall that Blessing, who claimed to be IVD’s official relationship therapist, took sides with him in 2022 when he was accused of having a hand in his wife’s death.

However a few months after Bimbo’s death, Blessing announced her relationship with IVD, and the duo tied the knot traditionally in 2025.

I’m Mentally Stressed – Nollywood Actor, Kunle Remi Cries Out Over New Price Of Fuel (Video)

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has voiced concerns over Nigeria’s economic situation, highlighting the impact of rising fuel prices on citizens nationwide.

The movie star in a video shared on Instagram lamented the rising cost of petrol and persistent power outages, describing the situation as increasingly unbearable for ordinary citizens.

Kunle revealed that he recently purchased fuel for over ₦1,300 per litre and questioned why Nigeria, an oil-producing nation, should be the first country affected by the war in Iran.

While expressing concern for businesses and workers struggling to survive amid high diesel and transport costs, Kunle said some of his staff are unable to resume work due to the transport cost hike.

He said, “I don’t even know how to begin this conversation. Usually, I say things like, I don’t get involved in politics. I don’t talk about politics. In fact, the country, the industry, a couple of things, make you, they’ll tell you don’t discuss religion or politics or something, and so you fall into that category where you say I don’t like to talk politics.

 

“No, that’s the most stupid statement from anybody in Nigeria right now. We should be discussing. We should be talking about it. We should be trying to fix.

 

 

“We should be inquiring about what is happening in the nation. There’s nothing like sitting on the fence. Now it doesn’t make any sense.

 

“Today, I bought fuel, petrol. I bought petrol for one thousand three hundred and something thousand naira. We don’t have light.

“I don’t understand why Nigeria is one of the first countries to be affected by the war in Iran.

“A blessed nation, a country that is a resourceful nation, is complaining about fuel price because we are dependent on one refinery, and even the refineries never got the full support of the government, and then the nation has different refineries that don’t function. I don’t understand.

“I’m blown away because I’m mentally stressed, and I can’t even lie. So you don’t have light. Diesel is expensive. Fuel is expensive. A couple of my staff are letting me understand that to even come to work now is a problem because the transport is hiking, meaning that their salary is not even enough anymore in a very short period.”
