Blessing Okoro reveals she uses controversy to stay relevant

Nigerian relationship advisor, Blessing Okoro popularly known as Blessing CEO, has said controversy is a strategy for her.

The 33-year-old Influencer stated that she is a very spontaneous person and as such, she does not lack content or ideas on how to trend on social media.

Blessing made the comment in an interview with Saturday Beats, where she also addressed the issue with a tattoo artist who called her out over debt.

She said; “Controversy is a strategy for me but I do not chase clout. People often use my name to trend. I have never sat to think about what I would do to trend. I am a very spontaneous person.”

The self-acclaimed marriage counsellor further explained that she refused to pay the tattoo artist simply identified as Inkmetatttoo because he flew out to meet her in Enugu from Lagos despite her instructions to him not to do that.

Blessing said; “I told him (tattoo artist) not to come to Enugu when he told me he was in Lagos because I could not bear the cost. He booked a flight without informing me and only sent evidence while at the airport. He also left without completing the tattoos. I continuously asked him the cost, but he did not respond until two days later when he told me the tattoo cost N250,000, while his flight ticket cost N252,000.

“While speaking to the person who connected me to him, the tattooist said he was going to drag me on social media and I said, ‘Game on’. The truth is I won’t pay him a dime again.”

Speaking on her continuous feud with online activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkman, Blessing said she had no personal issues with him and was simply expressing her opinions.

The IG influencer said; “I don’t have any personal beef with Very Dark Black Man, I am just airing my opinions. He is fond of making defamatory posts against women. So, when I saw him, I decided to make a video of him, because he was looking very dirty. Many people said I was broke-shaming him, but that is not the case. When one says one’s opinions, it will look as if one is a hater. Why doesn’t he drag the likes of Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy?”
