Controversial relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has stood by her controversial breast cancer disclosure, insisting she owes no one an apology.

In an interview with social media influencer Egungun of Lagos, released on Saturday, Okoro denied claims that she had been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.

She also clarified that she raised only N13 million in public donations, far below the N100 million widely reported online.

When asked if she would apologise to those who felt misled by her initial claim, she responded defiantly: “For what? Who did I hurt?”

Okoro attributed the stage four narrative to possible miscommunication with her doctor. “I think I’m not a doctor, and maybe I just passed the message that a doctor gave to me,” she said.

She further explained that she has yet to receive a definitive staging of her condition. “I don’t know the stage I am right now because I’ve run all the tests. In a few days, I’ll go back to my oncologist, and they will be able to tell me the exact stage,” she stated.

According to Okoro, she has not yet commenced chemotherapy, with her most recent medical procedure being a biopsy.

She also attributed the stage four claim to a possible miscommunication. “Maybe it’s miscommunication because that was what I was told, but I’m also trying to, when you do your biopsy, I want to have different options and be sure of what I’m doing,” she said.

She traced the health scare to a lump she discovered last year, which doctors initially said was non-cancerous before a later test indicated it was malignant.

“It was a lump. Initially, they said it was not cancerous. After a few months, when I wanted to take out the lump, they now said it is cancerous,” she said.

On demands for her to publish her medical results, Blessing CEO remained firm, describing the documents as “personal stuff” and refusing to make them public.

“I can’t post my results online. It’s personal stuff,” she said.

She also corrected reports about the amount raised, stating clearly: “I never reached N100 million.”

Speaking on the possibility of undergoing a mastectomy, she said, “We are hoping it doesn’t get to that point, but if it does, the most important thing is that I am alive.”

Despite the ongoing controversy, Okoro used the platform to raise awareness about breast cancer, urging women to perform regular self-examinations.
