Chest Cancer: Blessing CEO Shaves Hair, Lists Assets For Sale

Popular relationship expert and social media influencer Blessing Okoro, widely known as Blessing CEO, has left many Nigerians in shock after announcing a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in a series of emotional videos posted on her Instagram page today.

In the clips that have since gone viral, the self-styled relationship coach broke down in tears as a barber shaved off her hair. She described feeling scared and uncertain about her future, telling followers her days felt numbered. The videos captured her raw vulnerability, with Blessing CEO repeatedly expressing fear over the alleged illness.

NaijaChoice News monitored the development as Blessing CEO followed up by listing several personal assets for sale to raise funds for treatment. She displayed her extensive collection of luxury wigs, stating she no longer needed them after the shave, and announced plans to auction off a car and a house in Lagos. “I need money for chemo,” she said in one post while showing the items.

The announcement has split opinions across Nigerian social media platforms. Supporters have flooded her page with prayers, well-wishes and words of encouragement, with many calling on God for healing. Others, however, have expressed doubt, pointing to her history of controversies and questioning whether the claims are genuine.

Several online commentators, including actress Uriel Oputa, have reacted strongly. Some suggested the situation might be another publicity stunt, with one remark noting that “cancer is not content.” Despite the backlash, no medical records or independent verification of the diagnosis have surfaced publicly.

Blessing CEO, who built a large following through relationship advice and lifestyle content, remains active on social media as the debate continues. Nigerians are watching closely to see how the situation unfolds, with many urging caution and empathy amid the uncertainty.
