Blessing CEO and IVD Apologize to Nigerians After Loss

Blessing CEO, an influencer, and her fiancé, businessman IVD, issued a public apology to Nigerians on November 3, 2026, following the death of Blessing's son in June 2026. In a heartfelt video shared on her Instagram, Blessing, visibly emotional, described herself as broken and ashamed of her past comments regarding others' pain.

She acknowledged her careless remarks and sought forgiveness, comparing herself to the biblical prodigal son, expressing a desire to rebuild relationships. A significant portion of her message was dedicated to her late son, whom she referred to as 'Dum Dum', emphasizing her grief and commitment to making amends.

IVD also posted a message on Instagram, asking for forgiveness from his family, friends, and business partners. This emotional appeal comes after Blessing faced criticism for her previous comments about domestic violence and the death of IVD's former wife, Bimbo Ogbonna, which many perceived as lacking empathy.

Blessing had been in custody at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre over fraud allegations before being released on bail in late October.
