Social media personality, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has admitted to deliberately claiming that she had breast cancer to attract financial donations from members of the public.
She spoke during an interview with social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, in a video shared on Thursday.
“The pressure was too much. So what did I do? That was where the cancer drama came in. And because of the pressure. I saw this embarrassment coming. I said to myself, what stunt can I pull? What stunts can I pull? Then I pulled out the cancer,” she said.
She was referring to financial pressure from an EFCC-related dispute involving a man identified as Dr Onuoha Okeigwe.
Blessing CEO said a medical check-up had revealed a lump in her breast, but the finding was not cancerous.
She admitted to taking advantage of the discovery by telling the public that the lump was cancerous because she wanted financial assistance.
“Honestly, I do not have cancer. The truth is, I had gone for a check-up a few months ago and they found a lump on my breast, but it was not cancerous.
