Controversial relationship therapist and social media sensation Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has once again set the internet ablaze—this time not with her usual hot takes or bold commentary, but with a pot, a stove, and a whole lot of love. In a heartwarming and surprising twist, the ever-dramatic Blessing CEO took to her Instagram page to showcase her domestic side, proudly cooking for her fiancé, the equally controversial businessman and car dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IVD.
In a short but captivating video posted online, Blessing CEO is seen donning a casual yet chic outfit, with her hair tied back and a confident smile on her face, as she stirs a steaming pot in the kitchen. Her caption read like a mix of pride and playful shade: "My mates dey withdraw money out of GTBank, I dey here dey cook for boo boo9… Could this be love? What IVD cannot do does not exist.” The post immediately caught fire across social media platforms, racking up thousands of views, likes, and comments within hours.
For followers of the couple’s journey, this moment marks a new chapter. Blessing CEO, often seen as a no-nonsense personality who prioritizes independence and self-worth, seems to be softening her tone in what appears to be a deeply affectionate relationship with IVD. Her fans, many of whom are used to seeing her call out toxic relationships and dish out brutally honest relationship advice, were taken aback—in a good way—by this display of tenderness. Some hailed it as growth, while others questioned if this was the same woman who once preached never to "overdo" for a man.
The phrase “What IVD cannot do doesn’t exist” has now taken on a life of its own online, echoing the famous “What God cannot do does not exist” that dominates Nigerian Christian circles. With her twist on the phrase, Blessing CEO appears to elevate IVD to a pedestal, suggesting he has not only won her heart but also inspired her to roll up her sleeves and enter the kitchen—a feat many didn’t see coming.
Comment sections beneath the video have turned into a lively town hall. Some followers praised her for expressing love in a traditional way, claiming it’s beautiful to see a powerful woman show submission in her own unique form. Others raised eyebrows, wondering if this might be an attempt to polish IVD’s public image, given his rocky past involving a high-profile marriage that ended in scandal and tragedy. But Blessing CEO remains unbothered. In fact, she seems to be reveling in the attention, responding to some comments with her signature boldness and sprinkling in a bit of flirtatious humor.
While some people joked that she had “fallen too deep,” many were supportive, seeing her post as an expression of genuine affection. “This is how it starts,” one commenter wrote. “One day you’re yelling ‘men are scum,’ the next you’re making efo riro for boo boo.” Others joked that perhaps it’s IVD’s mysterious charm—or his bank account—that’s making Blessing CEO change her tune. Either way, the couple seems unfazed, and that may be all that matters.
Not new to controversy, Blessing CEO has always had a way of keeping herself in the public eye, whether through her bold takes on gender roles, her complicated history with the late Bimbo Ogbonna (IVD’s late wife), or her recent declarations about modern love. But this time, it’s her silence that’s speaking volumes. Rather than go on a long rant or provide a motivational monologue, she simply let the camera roll as she stirred her pot of food and smiled at the thought of her man. The subtlety of it all made it all the more powerful.
It’s worth noting that her relationship with IVD hasn’t been without criticism. Many netizens remember the turbulent events surrounding IVD’s personal life, and some believe Blessing’s open support of him is problematic. But she has defended him fiercely, stating that people deserve second chances and that love can blossom even in the most unlikely of circumstances. Her latest post seems to underline that belief, boldly defying public opinion in favor of personal happiness.
The viral video, now making rounds on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), has also reignited debates about traditional gender roles in relationships. Some feminists have called out the post, labeling it “a regression,” while others argued that real feminism is about choice—and if Blessing CEO chooses to cook for her man, that should be celebrated, not criticized. As always, she has managed to stir both her pot and the public conversation in one go.
Despite all the noise, what’s clear is that Blessing CEO is happy—and she wants the world to see it. Whether this kitchen moment is a one-time performance or a glimpse into her new normal remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: she knows how to keep us watching.
As the buzz continues, it’s safe to say that this unlikely love story has added a new layer to Blessing CEO’s ever-evolving persona. From social media firebrand to loving partner, she’s proving that no one is one-dimensional—not even those who thrive on controversy. Whether you love her or love to hate her, Blessing CEO has once again found a way to make her mark. And if her caption is anything to go by, maybe—just maybe—what IVD cannot do truly doesn’t exist.
