Blessing CEO apologises, speaks on pain of losing son

Controversial relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO, has publicly apologized for her past comments, acknowledging the pain of losing her nine-year-old son, Bryan.

Bryan had suffered from chronic asthma and had experienced recurring health challenges since childhood.

In a heart-wrenching video posted on her Instagram page, Okoro expressed her regret over speaking about experiences she had not personally encountered. She admitted that her words might have hurt others and that she was now paying the price for her careless remarks. Okoro described herself as broken and exhausted, appealing for forgiveness from those who had been hurt by her comments.

The social media personality also addressed her late son, Bryan, affectionately calling him Doom Doom. She expressed her longing to be with him again and promised to correct every wrong to make him proud in heaven. Her grief extended to her family, particularly her grandmother, who had been struggling to cope with Bryan's death. Okoro revealed that she and her grandmother often hid to cry together, unable to bear the pain of separation.

Okoro emphasized that actions mattered more than words and that she was now understanding the importance of taking responsibility for her mistakes. She described herself as a prodigal child returning home, grateful for the love and acceptance she received from her family. Okoro appealed for an opportunity to make amends and start anew, acknowledging that her past mistakes had taught her a painful lesson.
