Controversial Nigerian relationship coach, Blessing Okoro, has spoken out about the growing rumours surrounding her health, setting the record straight about her cancer diagnosis and the funds raised for her treatment.
Popularly known online as Blessing CEO, the media personality clarified that reports claiming she has stage 4 cancer are incorrect.
Speaking during an interview on the online show, Young and Healthy Bros, hosted by Egungun, she explained that the confusion came from a misunderstanding after she received her biopsy results.
According to her, doctors initially believed the lump discovered in her body was not cancerous. However, further medical tests later confirmed that it was cancer.
“I don’t have stage four cancer. That was a miscommunication,” she said.
Blessing added that she still does not know the stage of the illness yet, as she has not completed the necessary medical consultations.
“I only just got my biopsy results. At first, they said the lump was not cancerous, but later tests showed that it is cancer. I haven’t started chemotherapy and I still need to see my oncologist to determine the stage,” she explained.
She also addressed speculation about the money donated to support her treatment, saying the amount raised has been exaggerated online.
“The money people are talking about is not hundreds of millions. What was raised is about ₦13 million,” she clarified.
Blessing insisted she would not share her medical reports publicly, describing them as personal.
“I won’t post my results online because that’s private. I don’t owe anyone proof or an apology. I’m simply sharing what my doctors have told me,” she said.
Despite the controversy, the relationship expert said her main focus now is understanding her condition fully and exploring the best treatment options available.
“I just want to be sure about the decisions I’m making. I’m not a doctor — I’m only passing along the updates I get from the doctors,” she added.
