The controversy surrounding donations made to relationship therapist Blessing CEO has taken a dramatic turn, as businessman Alafaa Kariboye-Igbo, popularly known as Oilmoney, has issued a strong ultimatum demanding a refund of ₦20 million.
The development adds another layer to an already heated situation that has kept social media buzzing in recent days.
Legal Threat Enters the Picture
Through his legal representatives, Oilmoney formally requested the return of the ₦20 million reportedly given for medical support.
The statement outlined a 7-day ultimatum, warning that failure to comply could lead to legal action. It also demanded clear proof and confirmation of how the funds were received and handled.
The move signals a shift from online reactions to potential legal confrontation, raising the stakes in the unfolding drama.
How It All Started
The issue began after Blessing CEO publicly claimed she was battling advanced cancer, prompting sympathy and financial support from well-meaning individuals.
However, the narrative took a turn when she later clarified that while she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, she was uncertain about the stage and admitted she may have exaggerated aspects of her earlier claims.
That admission has since triggered widespread scrutiny and questions about transparency.
More Donors Speak Out
Oilmoney is not alone in his reaction. Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse has also demanded accountability, revealing that he contributed financially and may seek a refund.
“My money is in your account… when I’m ready, you will refund it,” he said in a now-viral video.
His statement further intensified public debate, with many Nigerians divided between sympathy for her health situation and concerns over how the donations were solicited.
Public Trust on the Line
At the heart of the controversy is a bigger issue — trust.
When personal health appeals go public and involve financial contributions, expectations of honesty and clarity become even higher. The current situation has sparked conversations about accountability, especially in the age of viral fundraising.
As the deadline set by Oilmoney approaches, all eyes are now on what happens next — whether a refund will be made, further clarifications issued, or legal action pursued.
