“I’d Rather Put You Six Feet Than Snatch Your Husband” – Explosive Throwback Video of Blessing CEO Resurfaces, Sparks Outrage

In a jaw-dropping twist that has set social media ablaze, a throwback video of controversial relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has resurfaced — and the internet is far from calm. The viral clip, which has been making the rounds across various platforms, captures Blessing CEO boldly declaring that she doesn’t snatch other women’s husbands but would rather “put you six feet and collect him,” a statement that has ignited a firestorm of reactions from Nigerians across the globe.

The resurfaced video, reportedly filmed during one of her past live sessions or interviews, showcases Blessing CEO in her typical unfiltered style, addressing critics and viewers with chilling confidence. Dressed flamboyantly and oozing her signature bravado, she can be heard saying, “I don’t snatch people’s husbands. I’m not a husband snatcher. Instead of me to snatch your husband, I will put you six feet and collect him.” While some viewers laughed off the comment as a joke or hyperbole, many others have not taken it lightly — branding it as insensitive, violent, and utterly distasteful.

Almost immediately after the video began circulating again, online spaces erupted with comments ranging from condemnation to disbelief. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #BlessingCEO began trending, with users dissecting every second of the clip. Many called for her to be sanctioned for making light of murder and promoting toxic rhetoric about relationships. “This is not funny. You’re literally joking about taking a woman’s life over a man who probably doesn’t even want to be kept,” one user posted, attracting thousands of likes and retweets.

Instagram blogs were not left out of the frenzy either. Pages like Instablog9ja, Gistlover, and Linda Ikeji’s Blog amplified the clip, drawing in hundreds of thousands of comments. One follower commented, “This is why people need to stop taking advice from these self-proclaimed relationship experts. She’s not stable.” Another user added, “Even as a joke, this isn’t right. Imagine if roles were reversed and a man said this. All hell would break loose.”

While the internet community reeled from the shock of her words, some ardent supporters of Blessing CEO came to her defense, arguing that her statement was exaggerated for dramatic effect and not to be taken literally. “Y’all just hate on Blessing because she says what most of you are thinking but don’t have the guts to say out loud,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “She’s a content creator. This was clearly sarcasm. Stop twisting her words to suit your agenda.”

Blessing CEO, known for courting controversy and pushing the envelope with her provocative takes on love, marriage, infidelity, and gender roles, has often been at the center of heated online debates. From parading herself as a relationship expert to staging publicity stunts like falsely claiming ownership of a mansion, her reputation has been far from squeaky clean. Yet, despite the countless criticisms hurled her way, she remains unapologetically bold, outspoken, and deeply polarizing.

The resurfaced video has also reignited conversations around the toxicity of influencer culture and the blurred lines between satire and dangerous speech. Critics argue that public figures like Blessing CEO wield significant influence, especially among younger, impressionable audiences. “You can’t just say anything for clout and expect no consequences. There are women in abusive relationships who are listening to this nonsense,” one human rights advocate stated during a radio panel discussion reacting to the video.

Legal experts have also weighed in, pointing out that even as a hypothetical statement, her words could be seen as promoting violence or even as a threat under Nigerian cybercrime laws. Though no legal action has yet been taken, some activists have called on law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies like the NBC and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to look into the matter and clamp down on such utterances before they spiral into real-world consequences.

As for Blessing CEO herself, she has yet to issue an official statement addressing the resurfaced video. Her social media pages remain active but unbothered, with recent posts flaunting her lifestyle and promoting her relationship therapy services. Many believe she’s intentionally ignoring the backlash, perhaps in hopes that the storm will pass — a strategy she’s employed several times in the past. Whether or not this tactic will work again remains to be seen, especially with public sentiment tilting more toward zero tolerance for inflammatory content.

For now, the internet continues to seethe with anger, confusion, and curiosity. Was it just another clout-chasing stunt? A misjudged joke taken too far? Or a worrying sign of just how normalized toxic narratives have become in Nigeria’s online relationship discourse?

Whatever the intention behind the now-viral statement, one thing is clear: the line between boldness and recklessness is thinning, and influencers like Blessing CEO are walking a very fine rope. As Nigerians grapple with real issues like domestic violence, rising femicide cases, and toxic relationship standards, there’s a growing call for responsibility, accountability, and more sensitivity from public figures who command attention and shape conversations.

Until then, the internet remains ablaze, and Blessing CEO — true to form — is right at the center of it all.
