Self-acclaimed relationship expert Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has broken silence on her alleged romantic relationship with auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna aka IVD.
Blessing and IVD are rumoured to be lovers due to a tattoo of her name spotted on the businessman’s hand. IVD was in March charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of his wife Bimbo in October 2022.
However, in an interview with PUNCH on Saturday, Blessing argued that having a tattoo of someone does not translate to a personal relationship.
She revealed that IVD also has his late wife’s name, her face and the names of all his children tattooed on his body.
“One can tattoo anybody’s name on one’s hand,” she began her defence.
The 33-year-old continued: “I have Denrele’s name on my hand, does it mean I am dating him? I have more than five people’s names on my hand, and we are not related. IVD also has his (late) wife’s name, her face and the names of all his children tattooed on his body. I did not know IVD as of the time the matter was trending. I defended him innocently. If I had something to do with him, I would not even say a word.”
