Oil Money Counters Blessing CEO's N13m Donation Claim With Alleged N20m Debit Alert
Businessman Alafaa Kariboye-Igbo, popularly known as Oil Money and previously linked as actress Angela Okorie's ex-lover, has escalated his dispute with influencer and relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, widely recognized as Blessing CEO, by publicly sharing what he claims is evidence of a substantial N20 million donation. This development directly contradicts Blessing CEO's recent assertion that she received only N13 million in public donations amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding her cancer claims.
The Alleged Evidence and Escalating Dispute
In a post on his Instagram page dated Tuesday, April 8, 2026, Oil Money uploaded a screenshot purportedly showing a transaction of N20 million sent to Blessing CEO, with the transaction date indicated as March 26, 2026. Accompanying the image, Oil Money wrote a caption stating, "This is another evidence of the money I sent to fake life lie lie Blessing CEO, and more evidence is coming soon from other people." This action represents a significant intensification of the conflict, following his previous demands for a refund of the same amount, which he alleges was donated under false pretenses after Blessing CEO's controversial cancer claim surfaced.
The businessman, who had previously gained attention on social media for boldly demanding a refund and even sharing legal documents related to the matter, now claims that additional individuals are prepared to come forward with similar evidence of donations made to the relationship therapist. This situation has evolved from a personal dispute into a broader public controversy, with multiple parties potentially involved.
Background of the Controversy and Conflicting Claims
The controversy originated when Blessing CEO made claims about having cancer, which prompted numerous donations from supporters and the public. However, skepticism and allegations soon followed, with critics questioning the authenticity of her medical condition. In a viral video addressing the mounting pressure from donors and critics demanding refunds, Blessing CEO stated that she had received N13 million in public donations, contradicting the widely circulated figure of N100 million that had been reported in various media outlets.
Oil Money's latest move directly challenges this N13 million figure, presenting what he alleges is proof of a single N20 million donation from him alone. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the total amount received and the transparency of the donation process. Furthermore, Blessing CEO has faced additional allegations, including accusations from a woman named Miss Deborah Mbara, who claimed the influencer edited medical reports to support her cancer claim. In response, during a live session with media personality Daddy Freeze, Blessing CEO denied forging any medical documents and challenged accusers to provide proof, asserting her readiness to address the matter in court.
Public Reactions and Social Media Commentary
The sharing of the alleged debit alert has sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with netizens expressing a mix of criticism, skepticism, and sympathy. Many users have questioned Oil Money's decision to donate such a substantial sum, with comments reflecting both disbelief and concern over the situation.
- One user, nkechiblessingsunday, commented, "You open eye send a whole 20 million to thief? Wow."
- Another, iam_hser, demanded more transparency, stating, "Make we see account statement."
- User orich_photography offered sympathy, saying, "Eayah...this is serious ? sorry about that boss. You have a kind heart oo. May God help you to recover your money back."
- yul_edochi_obasi_e_judy_austin referenced previous claims, noting, "When Chidi Mike said she made up to 100,000 million Naira people doubted him."
- irestitches1 expressed frustration, commenting, "We that need help help we no see nah person wey dey lie lie unna go dey help, me wey touch 200k before in my life talkless of millions GoD abeg send helper to."
These reactions highlight the broader public engagement with the scandal, as individuals weigh in on the ethical implications, the credibility of the parties involved, and the societal issues surrounding charitable donations and influencer accountability.
Implications and Ongoing Developments
This dispute underscores significant concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and trust in the realm of public donations, particularly when involving high-profile personalities like Blessing CEO. The conflicting claims about the donation amounts—N13 million versus N20 million from a single donor—suggest potential discrepancies that could have legal and financial repercussions. Oil Money's actions, including sharing legal documents and now alleged transaction evidence, indicate a serious pursuit of resolution, possibly through formal channels.
As the situation continues to unfold, with promises of more evidence from other donors, the controversy is likely to remain in the public eye, prompting discussions about the responsibilities of influencers and the due diligence required from donors. The involvement of legal threats and public denials from Blessing CEO further complicates the narrative, setting the stage for potential courtroom battles or mediated settlements.
Ultimately, this scandal serves as a cautionary tale about the risks associated with online donations and the importance of verifying claims before contributing substantial sums, especially in emotionally charged situations involving health issues.
