Nigerian relationship expert and influencer Blessing CEO has sparked reactions online after sharing an emotional video in which she apologised to people she may have hurt through her words and actions.

Blessing CEO breaks down, asks Nigerians for forgiveness
In the emotional video shared online, Blessing CEO, whose real name is Nkiru Blessing Okoro, appeared tearful as she reflected on her past behaviour and admitted that she had not always understood what other people were going through.
She acknowledged that she had previously spoken about people’s painful experiences without fully understanding their situations.
The influencer also said her recent experiences had taught her that making statements about other people’s struggles was easier than actually experiencing such pain.
In her words:
“The only thing I see now is darkness. People can go ahead and mock me for my mistakes. I’m so sorry for speaking about people’s pain when I knew nothing about what they were going through. I’m sorry to everyone I have hurt with my words and actions. I’m only realising now that talk is cheap.”
Influencer reflects on her difficult experiences
Blessing CEO also compared her situation to the biblical story of the prodigal son, suggesting that she wanted to turn a new leaf and make changes to her life.
