NMA counters Blessing CEO’s cancer claim

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Delta State chapter, has rejected a histology report circulating online that is claimed to be linked to relationship coach Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO.

The association stated that the document was modified from an original medical report issued to a different patient who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

This clarification was included in a statement jointly signed by NMA Delta State Chairman, Dr. Israel Adaigho, and Secretary, Dr. Usamah Hannah, as reported by DAILY POST on Tuesday.

The statement said the report circulating online was supposedly issued by Xinus Medical Diagnostics and signed by consultant pathologist Dr. O.A. Odigwe.

However, the NMA said the owner of the diagnostic centre confirmed that the document did not belong to Blessing Okoro.

The statement also noted that Xinus Medical Diagnostics is based in Asaba, Delta State, not Enugu State as mentioned in the viral report.

The association explained that in May 2025, the centre was contacted by a doctor from a private hospital in Asaba to perform a confirmatory breast cancer test for a patient named Mbara Deborah.

The test was done, and the result was sent to the referring doctor on May 9, 2025, confirming the patient had breast cancer.

According to the NMA, the original report with the name Mbara Deborah is the same document currently being shared online by the law firm Allen Juris Law.

The NMA added that the report shared by Blessing Okoro seems to be an altered version of the original medical result.

The statement said the owner of Xinus Medical Diagnostics clarified that the centre never issued any report to Blessing Okoro and that the original report belongs to the patient Mbara Deborah.

The NMA said it was necessary to clarify the situation due to how the altered report was being used.

The association advised the public to be cautious and warned against actions that could harm the reputation of medical practitioners.

It also called on authorities to prevent the public from being misled by false medical claims.

DAILY POST reminded that Blessing CEO had recently asked for financial help from the public for treatment she described as stage four cancer.

After facing criticism and allegations that the report had been edited, Blessing CEO later said, “I don’t have stage 4 cancer. That was a miscommunication,” and deactivated her account.
