Controversial self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing CEO has apologised to Nigerians for making careless remarks about people’s pain and personal struggles on social media.
The relationship therapist expressed regret in a lengthy Instagram post on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, admitting that some of her previous comments about people’s difficult experiences had been insensitive.
Her apology came shortly after her partner, businessman IVD, publicly sought forgiveness from his family, friends and business partners over issues surrounding his personal and professional relationships.
Blessing CEO, who has recently experienced personal tragedy following the reported death of her second son while she was in prison, said her present circumstances had made her reflect on how she previously addressed other people’s suffering.
In her Instagram post, Blessing CEO acknowledged that she had not always been careful with her words, particularly when discussing the pain and experiences of other people.
She suggested that her current situation had made her understand the importance of showing empathy towards people going through difficult moments.
According to her, she now recognises that making comments about people’s struggles without fully understanding their experiences can have consequences.
The relationship expert described herself as human and admitted that she was capable of making mistakes.
“I am realising that talk is cheap but action is loud. I’m only human, with blood flowing through my veins, so I’m bound to make mistakes,” she wrote.
Her statement reflected a change in perspective as she considered the impact of her previous public remarks.
Blessing CEO also appeared to connect her current experiences with the way she had previously spoken about other people’s pain.
She described her present circumstances as the price of making careless statements about the struggles of others.
Although she did not provide a detailed account of every remark she regretted, her apology focused on the need to recognise that people experience pain differently.
Her admission comes after several difficult personal experiences that have placed her private life under public attention.
The apology also highlighted the importance of thinking carefully before commenting on sensitive issues, particularly when the people involved may be dealing with emotional or personal difficulties.
The relationship expert has faced significant personal challenges in recent months.
One of the most painful experiences reported about her was the death of her second son while she was in prison.
The loss added to the difficult circumstances surrounding her personal life and became part of the background to her latest public reflection.
In her apology, Blessing CEO suggested that her experiences had changed how she viewed the pain of others.
Her comments indicated that she had begun to appreciate the difference between discussing another person’s hardship from a distance and experiencing difficult circumstances personally.
Blessing CEO’s apology also came shortly after her partner, IVD, appealed for forgiveness from his family, friends and business partners.
In a separate message, IVD reportedly reflected on five years of what he described as an endless battle and asked those affected by his actions to forgive him.
The timing of both statements drew attention, as the pair made public appeals for understanding and forgiveness in quick succession.
However, the two messages addressed their respective personal circumstances.
Blessing CEO’s apology has brought renewed attention to the responsibilities that come with having a large social media audience.
Public figures and online personalities often discuss sensitive personal experiences, relationships and emotional struggles before thousands of followers.
Her latest remarks suggest a recognition that such conversations require empathy and consideration.
By admitting she spoke carelessly about people’s pain, the relationship expert has publicly acknowledged the need to be more thoughtful about how she addresses others’ experiences.
