A Public Feud Takes a Dark Turn

The long-standing animosity between Nollywood actress Sarah Martins and relationship coach Blessing CEO has reached a new and controversial peak. Following reports that Blessing CEO is battling advanced stage 4 breast cancer and seeking public financial assistance for chemotherapy, Martins took to social media to voice a scathing critique. Rather than offering sympathy, the actress framed the diagnosis as a direct spiritual consequence of Blessing’s past actions and public statements.

Invoking the Spirit of Bimbo Ogbonna

In a post that quickly went viral, Martins addressed the late Bimbo Ogbonna, whose tragic death in October 2022 followed a violent domestic incident involving her husband, Ikechukwu Ogbonna (IVD). Martins suggested that Bimbo’s spirit was the architect of Blessing CEO’s current health struggles. According to Martins, those who mocked the circumstances of Bimbo’s death are now being forced to experience their own physical pain. “Dear Bimbo, I see what you did there,” Martins wrote, explicitly connecting the two events in a narrative of supernatural vengeance.

The IVD Connection and Past Accusations

The root of the hostility stems from Blessing CEO’s controversial involvement with IVD following his wife’s passing. Blessing had previously made disparaging remarks about Bimbo, which resulted in legal action from the deceased’s family and a period of incarceration for the relationship expert. After her release, Blessing openly flaunted her romantic ties with IVD, a move that many, including Martins, viewed as a profound betrayal of womanhood and a desecration of Bimbo’s memory. According to Martins, the current diagnosis is a manifestation of "perfect timing" from a higher power.
