My name, my business also my business partners, I Lost All Contact For 3 good years. You came from nowhere To wipe my tears. You have shown me love effortlessly; your reputation has been questioned and tarnished for speaking up for the truth; I have caused you and Your family pains, and I am here to say thank you for never giving up on me. The truth that has been hidden for years will be revealed soon. I am here to say thank you, and God bless you, boo. I Heart you for Life, my Bestie @officialbblessingceo. Happy New Year, BIG BCEO”.

It’s been 3 years of knowing you .
I remember when you just said thank you via DM and I said it’s just my opinion, then you wanted to hurt yourself and I ran to you, watched you for 7 hours to know you will be fine .
The day I stepped my leg inside prison for wetin I no know that was the when I decided to know you .. I am glad I never even knew you before because you had the title married man, I am happy I met you in your times of trouble and I said to you, Ikechukwu Darry ogbonna I will hold your hands and we walk through together. They tried and still trying but they don’t know that I am very stubborn with love 🤣. Ask my mama .
I don’t care about your past oooo, the man I met is a sweet soul . Nobody knows my emotional side, I hide that part from the media .
But you see you IVD ,
I will honnor you .
I will submit to you .
I will respect you .
Love you and most important teach you everything they say you did not know .
For the first time let the world see me love a MAN so right .
The world thinks I am incapable of loving a MAN because I have built walls and set boundaries but with you Ikechukwu Darry Ogobnna I will bend all my rules and break the boundaries. Don’t let me down .
If the love is not tough then it’s not love …. IVD x BCEO ❤️

Blessing is in love with ivd, ivd loves her as well, they are now a couple and will probably get married soon too. My only prayer is , may Ivd not show her or push her to the extremes he pushed Late Bimbo & she compromised a lot for his sake; cos the hard truth is, “MOST” PEOPLE DONT CHANGE O, THEY ONLY CHANGE THEIR VICTIMS/ PARTNERS. PLs ivd, do not hurt or let blessing down. Also, y’all should stop accusing blessing of having a hand in ivd and bimbo’s marriage problems, Blessing was never ivd’s sidechick while he was still married to bimbo. Stop comparing judy austin to blessing, judy was having an affair with yul even while she was married to obasi, and she knew yul was married to May too. Blessing is not perfect o, but she never had an affair with Ivd while he was still married!”

Blessing CEO and IVD Relationship Timeline
A few months back, IVD shared a shocking revelation about his relationship with Blessing. He disclosed that, despite her portraying a hard-to-get persona, they became intimate during their very first meeting in her office. He also claimed that, despite their numerous breakups, Blessing consistently finds her way back to him.
In 2023, rumors of a romance between Blessing CEO and IVD emerged following the tragic death of his wife. Blessing fueled speculation by sharing a photo of a mystery man with a tattoo of her name on his arm, revealing she had never been so bold to showcase a man on her timeline. She admitted feeling both fear and excitement, stating that he had reignited emotions she thought were long buried.
On his birthday, Blessing CEO reportedly went all out, as IVD flaunted an array of gifts believed to be from her. However, their relationship hit a rough patch mid-year following a public dispute involving Davido. Blessing accused Davido of owing IVD ₦4.5 million, a claim IVD denied, sparking tension that ultimately led to their fallout.
In a November 2023 interview with media personality, Daddy Freeze, Blessing CEO addressed rumors about her relationship with IVD, firmly stating that they were never romantically involved. She explained that she first met IVD during his trial following his wife’s death and reached out to him after he shared a suicidal note, offering her support as a friend and therapist.
Regarding the tattoo, she clarified that it was IVD’s gesture of gratitude for her unwavering support during his difficult times.
