Breast cancer survivor, Deborah Mbara, has spoken out, accusing controversial social media personality Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, of doctoring her medical reports to defraud the public.
The Delta State Branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) had disowned a histology report circulating online and attributed to Blessing CEO, noting that the document was altered from an original result issued to a different patient diagnosed with breast cancer.
The NMA confirmed that the said report in circulation was originally issued on May 9, 2025, by Xinus Medical Diagnostics in Asaba, Delta State, to a patient identified as Mbara Deborah, following a referral from a private hospital in Asaba for a confirmatory breast cancer test.
Mbara, in a video post on Instagram on Tuesday, explained how Blessing CEO obtained her medical report and doctored it to raise donations from Nigerians, noting that she was not aware of Blessing’s agenda.
The Creative Director of Zazi Beauty Place in Asaba, Mbara revealed that she met Blessing CEO, last year when she served as her make-up artist for a shoot.
In view of Blessing’s recent claims of having stage four cancer and her public displays of “wailing and auctioning off belongings,” Mbara stated that she reached out as a survivor to offer emotional and spiritual support.
She said: “I started talking to her, encouraging her, telling her that she should gather herself. That it’s not even a social media thing at all. I started praying for her, cursing the spirit of cancer. I even recommended prayer links for her. I sent one to her. I started telling her that there is nothing God cannot do. You have to go for your medicals. It is something you take one step at a time.
“We even had to put a doctor online to help us to let her know what is on the ground. It’s not even something you will hear, you will not wail, you will cry, but if you don’t pull yourself together, you will not know the next step and the right thing to do. That was what we were telling her.
“The doctor now tried talking to her. ‘How did you go about it? Have you removed the lump? Have they done what they are supposed to do?’ She said her doctor said it’s stage four, and they did one thing.
“The doctor now said, well, you know, I can’t see you. If these truly are the things, you’ve really gone for your examination. I think your situation needs an urgent attention. Then the doctor exited the call.
“I was even telling her that God saw me through this, see the scar, it has gone. She said, Okay, Zazi, please, can you just please help me send your own reports when you were diagnosed so I could compare them with what my doctor gave to me.
“I said, okay, no problem. That was how I gave her my results because she said she wanted to compare it with what her doctor gave her.
“Can you even stand a doctor telling you that you have it?
“It’s days of sleepless nights for you. If God is not on your side, if God does not come through for you, it’s days of trauma. At the hearing of that news, life pauses for some days for the person.”
