Controversial self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing CEO has reacted to the death of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo, who reportedly passed away on Monday after battling stage 4 liver cancer at a hospital in Lagos. The actor’s passing has sparked widespread mourning across Nigeria, with many celebrating his contributions to the film industry. Blessing CEO, known for her viral social media presence, took to Instagram to express her grief, sharing a photo of the late actor and writing, “God will punish cancer. We waited for u to show up. You fought silently. Rest in peace.”
Her emotional tribute drew attention not only for its heartfelt tone but also for its apparent connection to her own past health claims. Earlier in March 2026, Blessing CEO had gone public with her diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, appealing to Nigerians for financial support to cover her chemotherapy treatment. She shared what she described as a medical report from Xinus Medical Diagnostics, signed by consultant pathologist Dr. O.A. Odigwe, to authenticate her claims and justify the appeal.
However, the authenticity of the document was soon called into question. The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta State chapter, accused Blessing CEO of altering another patient’s medical report to falsely support her diagnosis. The association raised serious concerns about the integrity of the document, suggesting it had been manipulated to deceive the public. This revelation triggered a wave of backlash on social media, with many questioning her credibility and demanding accountability.
The controversy escalated further when social media influencer VeryDarkMan reportedly petitioned the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the matter. According to reports, the petition was approved by the Inspector-General of Police, signaling official interest in the case. The incident sparked heated debates online, with Nigerians divided on whether the claims were genuine or a calculated attempt to exploit public sympathy.
Despite the controversy, tributes for Alex Ekubo continue to pour in from fans, colleagues, and industry stakeholders. Many are remembering his impactful performances and dedication to Nollywood. His death has also reignited conversations about the importance of medical transparency and the ethical use of health information in public appeals. As Nigeria mourns the loss of a beloved actor, the spotlight remains on Blessing CEO’s case, which could have far-reaching implications for digital accountability and public trust in health-related social media campaigns.
