A Nigerian medical practitioner, known on X as @the_beardedsina, has publicly questioned recent statements made by Blessing CEO regarding her health and appeal for financial support.
The reaction follows a viral video in which Blessing CEO disclosed that she is battling stage 4 cancer and appealed to the public for assistance. In the clip, she also mentioned plans to sell personal belongings, including wigs and other assets, to fund a proposed surgical procedure.
Commenting on the situation, the doctor highlighted what he described as inconsistencies in the information shared. He explained that stage 4 breast cancer typically means the disease has already spread beyond the breast to other organs such as the liver, lungs, or brain.
He questioned the rationale behind undergoing a mastectomy to determine the extent of the spread, noting that such staging is usually established before a diagnosis is classified as stage 4. He also raised broader concerns about how such public statements could influence perceptions of the medical profession in Nigeria.
“I hate what celebs like Blessing CEO do, making it look like Doctors in Nigeria don’t know what they are doing. Now let’s fact check some things. A Video emerged in the morning, where Blessing CEO allegedly said she had Stage 4 Breast Cancer.
For context, Stage 4 Breast cancer means the cancer has spread beyond the Breast, to other distant organs eg Liver, Lungs, Brain, etc. Now you come with a video that is saying Doctors want to do a mastectomy to confirm how far it has spread etc How??? Same you, that already said Stage 4 Which Doctor told you they want to remove your entire breast to know how far it has spread. Really?
Just to mention it is unlikely you want to do a Mastectomy for a stage 4 Breast cancer and most likely other therapies will likely be considered cos the cancer has left the Breast except perhaps reducing the size. So what’s the truth exactly? All these stories will just keep worsening the mistrust in our Health system,” he said.
His remarks have added another layer to the ongoing online conversation, with users debating both the medical claims and the broader implications for public trust in healthcare information shared on social media.
