Nigerian social media influencer and relationship coach Blessing CEO has revealed that she is facing a breast cancer diagnosis and urgently needs surgery to halt the disease’s progression. Sharing the news on her Instagram page, she spoke candidly about the emotional strain and difficult decisions she now faces.
Blessing CEO explained that her resources have been stretched thin, prompting her to appeal to her followers for financial help to cover the operation. She previously announced plans to sell some of her personal belongings, including her car, wigs, and her Lagos home, to raise funds for treatment.
“My name is Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO,” she said. “I’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer. An urgent surgery is needed to stop the spread, whether it means removing one or both breasts. It’s a very hard decision, but these circumstances make you realize your limits.”
She asked for support from her followers, saying: “If I’ve ever touched your life positively, this is the time to show it. No contribution is too small. I just want to be fine. God bless everyone who shares or helps in any way.”
Blessing CEO described the vulnerability she feels despite her public persona of strength: “I thought I was so strong, but being strong is now my biggest weakness. I’ve never felt this clueless in my life. I need all the love and advice I’ve given returned to me. Thank you so much for standing by me.”
Her plea underscores both the personal and financial challenges faced by many dealing with serious illnesses and highlights the power of community support in times of need.
