Nigerian relationship coach, Blessing CEO, has issued a public apology following widespread backlash over her earlier claim about battling cancer, a statement that triggered outrage and calls for accountability online.
In a recent video shared on her social media platforms, Blessing CEO admitted that her actions caused unnecessary drama and confusion, expressing regret over how the situation unfolded.
“Nigerians, I am very sorry for the unnecessary drama. I take full responsibility for everything that has happened,” she said in the emotional clip.
She acknowledged that many people felt misled by her initial statements and apologised to supporters who donated money out of concern for her health. According to her, she did not intend to exploit public sympathy but admitted that the way the issue was handled was wrong.
“I understand why people are upset. I should have handled things differently. I’m sorry for disappointing those who believed in me,” she added.
Addressing the issue of donations, the influencer confirmed that she has begun refunding all contributions received, including money sent by VeryDarkMan, who had earlier challenged her claims.
“I am refunding everybody. I’ve started the process, and I will make sure no one loses their money, including VeryDarkMan,” she stated.
In the video, Blessing CEO also appeared remorseful, noting that the controversy has been a learning experience for her. She appealed to Nigerians for understanding as she works to rebuild trust.
The apology comes after days of intense criticism on social media, where many users questioned the authenticity of her illness and condemned what they described as emotional manipulation.
While reactions remain mixed, her decision to publicly apologise and initiate refunds marks a significant step in addressing the fallout from the controversy.
