Jun 21 Blessing CEO Lands in Asaba Ahead of Wedding to IVD Amid Ongoing Controversy

Controversial relationship coach Blessing Okoro Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has officially touched down in Asaba, Delta State, to begin preparations for her wedding to celebrity auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna (IVD). The social media personality shared a video on Instagram, showing her and her wedding planner’s arrival with the caption: “Asaba we are here. Let the planning begin.”

This bold move marks a significant turn in a relationship that has remained heavily criticized and shrouded in scandal, especially following the tragic death of IVD’s wife, Bimbo Ogbonna, in October 2022. Bimbo died from severe fire injuries after a violent domestic incident at their home in Lagos.

Since then, IVD has been arraigned on manslaughter charges, while Blessing CEO herself was briefly remanded in prison in 2023 for allegedly interfering in the legal case and defending IVD online—often at the expense of the late Bimbo’s reputation.

💭 Opinion: A Wedding Built on Scandal or a Second Chance at Love?

While some fans are congratulating the couple and praising Blessing CEO’s resilience, many Nigerians remain unconvinced. For critics, this wedding seems less like a celebration of love and more like a provocative display of insensitivity, especially considering the unresolved trauma surrounding Bimbo’s death.

Blessing CEO has built her brand around shock value and unapologetic hot takes on relationships—but this move has pushed public tolerance even further. Is love truly blind, or is this another example of social media clout overshadowing morality and empathy?

Still, others argue that both IVD and Blessing deserve a chance to move on and rebuild. But doing so under the glaring spotlight—when there’s an open court case and a grieving family involved—raises complex questions about public accountability and emotional healing.
