"God Punish Cancer": Blessing CEO’s Post on Alexx Ekubo’s Death Backfires as Nigerians Drag Her

• Blessing CEO received heavy backlash online shortly after she mourned the sudden passing of popular Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, who lost his battle with liver cancer
• Angry netizens flooded her comment section to remind her about the recent weeks when she faked having stage 4 cancer to solicit money from unsuspecting members of the public
• The massive criticisms and curses from social media users eventually forced Blessing CEO to lock her comment section to prevent people from further attacking her

Nigerians on social media have turned their anger towards Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, after her reaction to the death of Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo.

The actor passed away on Tuesday afternoon following a battle with liver cancer, and tributes quickly flooded the internet.

Blessing CEO joined in with a post that many felt was insensitive, considering her recent controversies.

The controversial influencer went on Instagram shortly after the news broke, expressing her pain and condemning the disease that claimed the actor’s life.

“God will punish cancer .. We waited for u to show up 🙏. Your fought silently Rest in peace”

Her words immediately triggered backlash because weeks earlier, she had staged a dramatic stunt claiming she was battling stage 4 cancer.

The self-acclaimed relationship expert posted videos of herself crying while shaving her head, and later claimed she was selling her properties to fund treatment and even asked the public for donations.

Nigerians later discovered her medical report was fake, with the original owner accusing her of editing the result and threatening legal action.

The scandal led to calls for her arrest and demands for refunds from those who had donated.

Now, her attempt to mourn Alexx Ekubo has reopened wounds.

Many Nigerians flooded her comment section, accusing her of mocking the same illness that took the life of a beloved actor.

Some expressed their grief with harsh words, while others prayed she would face the same fate.

The backlash forced Blessing CEO to lock her comment section to stop the dragging.
