Relationship coach and social media personality Blessing CEO has admitted that her cancer claims were false, disclosing that she received ₦13 million in donations from members of the public after presenting herself as a cancer patient.
She made the shocking revelation during an interview with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), where she opened up about the circumstances that led her to stage the cancer controversy.
According to Blessing, a medical examination had previously revealed a lump in her breast. However, the lump was confirmed not to be cancerous. She admitted that she deliberately misrepresented the medical finding to gain public sympathy and financial assistance.
Speaking during the interview, she said:
“Honestly, I do not have cancer. The truth is, I had gone for check-up a few months ago, and they found a lump on my breast, but it was not cancerous. So, I took advantage of that, came to the media, cried for help and said that the lump was cancerous. I played an emotional game.”
Blessing explained that she initially gave the impression that she was considering selling some of her personal belongings, including her car and house, to raise money. However, after receiving encouragement from fans to share her bank details, she began accepting donations.
She claimed that the financial support continued until VeryDarkMan publicly questioned her cancer claims and demanded proof of her diagnosis, after which donations reportedly stopped.
The relationship coach also attributed her actions to pressure surrounding an outstanding financial obligation to a man identified as Mr Onouha. She alleged that she was facing pressure from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the matter and resorted to the cancer stunt to avoid public embarrassment.
Blessing further disclosed that she received a total of ₦13 million from the public and used ₦5 million to prepare a bank draft for Mr Onouha.
Her admission comes months after she publicly maintained that she had been diagnosed with cancer. In April 2026, she claimed that although an earlier test showed that the lump in her breast was non-cancerous, a subsequent biopsy revealed that it was cancerous.
