Popular and controversial relationship therapist, Blessing Okoro, widely known as Blessing CEO, has addressed critics who are anticipating the failure of her relationship with auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, also known as IVD.

In a recent Instagram video, Blessing CEO didn’t hold back as she called out those doubting the authenticity of her love life, attributing their skepticism to emotional trauma and past experiences. She claimed that many critics are emotionally damaged, making them unable to believe in genuine love.

“A lot of you are damaged,” she said in the video. “When you are damaged, anything beautiful becomes too good to be true. Being damaged isn’t an insult but a mental and emotional kind of disease that comes from past pain.”

Blessing went on to explain that many people project their fear of heartbreak and failed relationships onto others, especially when they see public figures in love. She emphasized that the constant exposure to broken celebrity marriages on social media has shaped people’s negative views on love and commitment.

She encouraged her followers to heal from emotional wounds, reminding them that conflict is a natural part of any relationship and that true love thrives on forgiveness and growth.

“You disagree with your own blood, not to talk of a total stranger. But love comes in when you open your heart to forgive – 70 times 7,” she said, referencing the biblical call for abundant forgiveness.

Blessing CEO also stressed that personal growth begins with self-reflection, not generalizing heartbreak based on past or borrowed experiences. She urged critics to embrace vulnerability and stop viewing every positive relationship through a lens of negativity.

“I want you to go and heal so that any good thing that comes your way, you understand that you deserve it,” she concluded.

Blessing CEO and IVD’s relationship has been under public scrutiny due to past controversies, but her message appears to double as both a clapback to doubters and a motivational call for self-healing and emotional maturity.
