Controversial relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, has slammed social media critics asking God to take her life in exchange for Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo.
PrimeTimes Nigeria recalls that Alex died on May 11, 2026, after battling complications linked to advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
Following the development, some netizens stormed Blessing CEO’s Instagram comment to troll her, suggesting that God should have taken her life instead of Ekubo’s.
Reacting, Blessing in a video shared via her social media page, strongly condemned netizens publicly wishing for her death following Alex Ekubo’s demise.
She questioned the selective empathy of the public, wondering why many Nigerians aggressively bully the living while saving their compassion exclusively for the dead.
She said, “How do you people sympathize with the de@d but b#lly the living? Each time someone passes away and I see how people become suddenly sympathetic, I’m always surprised. If you read the comments people make when the person is alive, you’ll be shocked. Some people were even saying things like ‘God should take Blessing CEO and give us Alexx Ekubo.’ God will punish u all!
“And for those saying his family kept everything off social media, if his pictures had been posted while he was sick, the same people would still have mocked him and said all sorts of things.”
The hostility towards Blessing CEO stems from a controversy in March when she lied about battling stage 4 cancer and also claimed the medical report of a cancer survivor.
Although the incident led to widespread public criticisms and mounting calls for her arrest over the alleged hoax.
