Cancer Fundraising Controversy: Blessing CEO Admits Her Breast Lump Was Not Cancerous

Controversial Nigerian relationship therapist and social media personality Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has admitted that she falsely claimed to have breast cancer in a bid to receive financial assistance from members of the public.

The social media personality made the confession during an interview with activist VeryDarkMan, where she explained that a medical examination had initially revealed a lump in her breast.

However, she disclosed that further medical findings established that the lump was not cancerous, despite deliberately presenting her condition to the public as breast cancer.

According to information available to Bush Radio Academy, Blessing CEO acknowledged that she misrepresented her medical condition to attract financial support, describing her actions as an emotional game.

She explained that she initially gave the impression that she was considering selling some of her personal belongings, including her car and house, before members of the public encouraged her to share her bank details so they could assist her financially.

The influencer said donations began arriving from different individuals, with contributors sending varying amounts of money.

However, she claimed that the donations stopped shortly after VeryDarkMan released a video questioning her fundraising activities and demanding evidence to support her breast cancer claims.

During the interview, Blessing CEO admitted responsibility for misleading the public, stating, “I played an emotional game. I did not have breast cancer. I had a lump in my breast, but it was not cancerous. I deliberately told the public that the lump was cancerous because I wanted financial support.”

Her admission has sparked renewed controversy surrounding the fundraising campaign and raised concerns about the consequences of making false medical claims to solicit donations from the public.
