Mixed Reactions as Blessing CEO Regrets Lying to Acquire Her House
Blessing Nkiru Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has stirred mixed reactions after expressing regret over her past lies regarding her first house. In a recent post, the controversial self-proclaimed relationship expert shared photos of both her new and old houses, reflecting on the embarrassment she faced for falsely claiming the first house as hers.
In her heartfelt caption, she acknowledged that while she owns multiple properties, she feels a particular attachment to this one due to the story behind it. Blessing CEO urged her followers to avoid lying about their accomplishments, emphasizing that the pressure to impress others can lead to severe consequences.
She stated, “The house I lied about vs. the house I built… it’s been five years now. Other houses exist, but I am attached to this one because of the story. My son has grown. If I had known I would build it, I would have waited and not lied. The lie and the embarrassment were challenges on the path to greatness. No rush; you will get there. Don’t let anyone pressure you; just relax. The kind of embarrassment they gave me could kill you, so chill—success is success. Anytime you achieve it, you will definitely be celebrated.”
The post prompted a range of responses, with many fans congratulating her and reflecting on the lessons learned from her experience. Some notable reactions include:

– sharonbensonofficial: “This right here is the word of the day. I am impressed, to be honest.”
– maryann_apollo: “True that; thank you, proud of you, boo.”
– official_tonney: “People don’t read at all. Did you see the part where she said not to allow pressure? Just go at your pace; you will definitely get there. The lies weren’t necessary if she had known she would make it this big. Please learn from her and don’t let social media pressure you—that’s the moral lesson.”
– fingerprintcomedies: “What I know is… all na congratulations.”
– ify_hair_extension: “Impressive. Find Blessing for me.”
Blessing CEO’s candid admission and advice have sparked a conversation about authenticity and the pressures of social media in the pursuit of success.
