Controversial relationship therapist Blessing CEO has expressed gratitude to social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) after he reportedly offered her support following a difficult period, saying his unexpected gesture left her emotional.
In an Instagram post, Blessing said she had expected the activist to publicly criticise her while she was at her lowest point. Instead, she claimed he offered to help her rebuild and assured her that he was willing to do whatever it took to get her back on her feet.
The relationship therapist said the gesture caught her by surprise, particularly because of their public disagreements and VDM’s reputation for calling out controversial personalities on social media.
She wrote:
“Darki shock me ooooo. Like VDM shock me. I was expecting him to match me to the ground in my lowest but he gave me his hands and said, ‘Blessing CEO, I will drag u back up.’
“Blessing CEO, I will do anything it takes to get u back on your feet. I go gist una make I stop to cry. Just tell am say I say thank you. He humbled me. Officially a Ratel now. Tears still dey my eyes. Never say never indeed.”
Blessing’s declaration that she is now an official RATEL, the name associated with VDM’s supporters, followed her expression of appreciation for the activist’s reported willingness to stand by her during the difficult period.
The development comes amid the controversy surrounding Blessing’s alleged involvement in cases involving more than ₦118 million, including questions over her cancer fundraising campaign and disputed property transactions.
She was previously reported to have been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations connected to the matters. The allegations remain subject to legal proceedings and should not be treated as established guilt.
VDM’s reported offer of assistance marks an unexpected show of support between two public figures whose online activities have often attracted controversy.
Blessing said she was still emotional over the gesture and promised to share more details about the encounter.
