Nollywood actress Sarian Martins has claimed that the late Bimbo Ogbonna’s spirit is responsible for Blessing CEO’s stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis. The allegation surfaced on social media as the self-acclaimed relationship expert continued to request public financial support for chemotherapy treatments.
Martins addressed the situation in a detailed Instagram post, linking the illness to unresolved disputes surrounding Ogbonna’s death. Ogbonna died from injuries sustained in a residential fire during a violent altercation at her Lagos home involving IVD. In her statement, Martins characterized the cancer diagnosis as a consequence of publicly dismissing Ogbonna’s passing and pursuing a relationship with IVD shortly afterward. The actress explicitly urged supernatural retaliation against individuals she believes played a role in the tragedy, while praising Ogbonna’s legacy.
Blessing CEO first entered the public spotlight in 2022 when she worked as IVD’s relationship advisor and openly supported him during the initial investigation into his wife’s death. After the controversy subsided, she confirmed a romantic partnership with IVD, and the couple held a traditional wedding ceremony in 2025. Their union has remained a frequent subject of media coverage and public discussion, particularly regarding the timeline of events following Ogbonna’s passing.
Medical crowdfunding campaigns often attract significant attention in Nigeria, especially when connected to prominent entertainment figures. Martins’s comments have reignited debates over the boundaries of social media discourse, the ethics of commenting on private health struggles, and the ongoing public interest in IVD’s personal history. Blessing CEO’s management continues to share treatment updates as financial contributions remain a focal point of her recovery efforts. Observers and journalists are monitoring whether IVD’s camp or Blessing CEO’s representatives will issue formal responses to the latest allegations as the story develops across regional and international platforms.
