Fresh controversy has engulfed self-proclaimed relationship coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, as cancer survivor Deborah Mbara accused her of using and altering her personal medical report to fake a stage four cancer diagnosis.
In an Instagram video on Tuesday, Mrs. Deborah Mbara, a creative director and makeup artist based in Asaba, Delta State, narrated how Blessing CEO allegedly obtained her old histology report under false pretences and doctored it to solicit public sympathy and donations.

Mbara revealed that she previously served as Blessing CEO’s makeup artist last year and later reached out to her with words of encouragement when she publicly announced her diagnosis, sharing her own survival story.
According to Mbara, Blessing CEO, requested a copy of her medical report, claiming she wanted to compare it with her own diagnosis.
Trusting the request, Mbara said she sent the document and was shocked days later to discover her report circulating online as “proof” of Blessing CEO’s illness, with allegedly altered details.
Speaking emotionally in the video, Mbara said, “Sometime last year, Blessing CEO was in Asaba, and I was her makeup artist. Fast forward to last week, when she started crying that she had cancer, and sold off her properties. My friend reached out to her to check up on her. And we even got a doctor on the call to help us educate her and encourage her. I was telling her how God saw me through my own, and the scars.
“Then she said, ‘Zazi, can you just please help me send the report of when you were diagnosed so I could compare it with the one my doctor gave to me.' And I said, ok, no problem. Only for me to see it on the Internet on Friday: it was my result that she doctored to back up the nonsense and money people were donating to her.

“She said she doesn’t know me and has never spoken to any of my family. But she was in Asaba on Monday to beg my husband and my family. And my husband told her to tender a public apology on social media and confess how everything happened. I thought I was helping someone in need, not knowing she had a different agenda.
“Please, Nigerians, I don’t know anything about the report she is using to scam people of their money. I am not a party to it. This is evil, this is wickedness, this is demonic. I am a proud survivor. Jesus saved me.”
The scandal has intensified after the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta State chapter, confirmed that the viral report was an altered version of the original document issued to Mbara Deborah on May 9, 2025, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba.
The association disowned the doctored version and warned against actions that undermine medical integrity.
Blessing CEO had earlier solicited financial assistance from the public for what she described as stage four cancer treatment.
However, amid mounting backlash, she made a U-turn, claiming it was a “miscommunication” and that she does not have cancer.
She has since deactivated her social media accounts.
