She said she was in danger. Then she vanished online.
On October 30, 2025, self-styled relationship expert Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, posted a chilling video that sent shockwaves across social media. The clip showed shattered glass, broken furniture, and a trembling voice crying for help. “He’s mentally not okay,” she whispered. “I’m being violated. I am not safe.”
The “he” was widely believed to be her partner, celebrity auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly called IVD. Within hours, the post vanished. Comments were disabled. Screenshots spread like wildfire.
Nigerian internet went into overdrive. Domestic violence? Another chapter in IVD’s troubled past? His late wife, Bimbo, had died in 2022 amid similar allegations. Many feared history was repeating itself.
Blessing CEO had once defended IVD fiercely, calling him a “gentleman” despite the backlash. Now, her own words painted a different picture.
Then, on November 1, she returned, not with tears, but with fire.
In a calm, confident Instagram Live, the 36-year-old denied every rumor. “IVD did not beat me,” she declared. “He can never beat me. I’m past that level.”
She revealed the truth behind the chaos: a violent robbery at their home.
“The video you saw was from a serious robbery incident,” she explained. “The police asked me to delete it so it wouldn’t interfere with the investigation.”
She laughed off the swelling rumors. “Look at my face,” she said, tilting her head to the camera. “No black eye. No bruises. I’m very okay.”
But not everyone was convinced.
Some pointed to her speech, slightly slurred, words skipping. “She’s under pressure,” one commenter wrote. Others mocked: “IVD don show her shege.” A few accused her of covering up for love or clout.
Blessing didn’t flinch.
“I cry. I break down. I battle depression,” she admitted. “But strength isn’t pretending you don’t hurt. It’s pushing through.”
She even flexed her connections. “I have the IG of Police’s number. AIG. Military contacts. If I needed help, I know where to go.”
The drama isn’t new for the controversial influencer. From public fights to airport arrests, her relationship with IVD has been tabloid gold all year. In August, she tearfully claimed they were being “bullied” after IVD’s brief detention over his late wife’s case.
Now, she promises full details once the robbery probe cools down.
For now, the internet remains split. Some applaud her resilience. Others whisper: *Is this love… or denial?*
One thing is clear, Blessing CEO knows how to keep Nigeria talking.
