Nigeria’s Most Controversial Relationship Expert – Blessing CEO Faces Her Ultimate Test – Marriage.
For years, Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, has been one of Nigeria’s most polarizing social media figures. As a self-proclaimed relationship expert, she has built a brand on fiery feminist takes, unfiltered advice, and a no-nonsense approach to love and marriage. Her bold—often controversial—opinions have sparked debates, divided followers, and even been blamed for contributing to broken relationships.
Now, in a twist few saw coming, the woman who once seemed to champion independence over marriage is engaged to none other than Ikechukwu Ogbonna (IVD)—a man whose name was once entangled in one of Nigeria’s most scandalous domestic tragedies.

Blessing CEO rose to fame by dishing out hard-hitting relationship advice, often encouraging women to walk away from toxic relationships, demand financial independence, and prioritize self-worth. While many praised her for empowering women, critics accused her of fueling breakups and demonizing men. Some of her most contentious moments include advising wives to leave marriages at the first sign of disrespect, even if reconciliation was possible, encouraging women to “collect money and move on” rather than tolerate emotional neglect, and publicly feuding with men who called out her extreme views, branding them as “weak” or “insecure.” Her stance made her a feminist icon to some and a marriage-wrecker to others. Many wondered: If she’s so against tolerating men’s flaws, would she ever settle down herself?
Now, Blessing CEO is set to marry IVD, a businessman whose name became infamous after the mysterious death of his late wife, Bimbo Ogbonna, in 2022. The case sparked national outrage, with allegations of domestic abuse swirling around IVD. At the time, Blessing CEO was one of his loudest critics, using her platform to condemn him and demand justice for Bimbo. Her strong stance made her an unlikely ally—and now, an even unlikelier fiancée.

When Blessing CEO shared her engagement post on Instagram, the internet exploded with mixed reactions. Supporters celebrated her finding love, calling it a “redemption arc.” Critics questioned her credibility, asking: “How can someone who preaches ‘dump men easily’ now marry a man with such a dark past?” Skeptics speculated whether this was a publicity stunt or a genuine relationship.
Blessing CEO’s engagement forces a tough conversation. Is she abandoning her own advice by marrying a man with a controversial history? Will her past critiques of marriage come back to haunt her if challenges arise? Does this mean her feminist stance has softened, or is she redefining what empowerment looks like? Only time will tell how this union unfolds. But one thing is certain: Nigeria will be watching closely.
