Media personality and relationship coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has responded strongly to critics demanding refunds for donations she received, dismissing the backlash during a recent live video.

 

Addressing the allegations, Blessing rejected claims that she had scammed supporters, maintaining that all contributions were made voluntarily by individuals who chose to assist her during a difficult period.

 

“Those people that are saying, ‘Oh Blessing, you scammed us, refund my money,’ a lot of the people making noise did not give me one naira,” she said.

 

According to her, she had openly appealed to her followers for help and received support out of goodwill rather than obligation.

 

“It’s love. It’s not my fault that people love me. I needed help. I came out, I cried for help, and I got the help that I needed,” she explained.

 

The social media personality emphasized that no one was coerced into donating, insisting that supporters acted of their own free will.

 

“If you don’t want to give, keep your money in your bank account. I did not force anyone to give me money. You gave it out of your free will and out of love,” she stated.

 

She also pushed back against calls for transparency regarding how the funds were spent, saying she does not owe critics any explanation or receipts.

 

“I don’t need to come and start showing you receipts or showing you this or showing you that,” she added.

 

Defending her influence and public support, Blessing credited her decade-long presence on social media for building a loyal audience.

 

“I’ve been on social media for 10 years. I’ve given my intellect, I’ve given love, I’ve given money. Everything that I am getting, I deserve it,” she said.

 

Responding to accusations about her public persona, she was equally direct: “You should have known that about me long ago. I don’t have shame.”

 

She concluded by asserting confidence in her personal brand, claiming she could still attract financial support from followers at any time.

 

“Even if I paste my account number now on this live video, people will still dash me money. Go and build a brand for yourself. You are the brand,” she said.

 

The remarks have continued to spark debate online, with supporters defending her stance on voluntary giving, while critics insist public figures should be accountable for funds received from followers.
