A Nigerian doctor, known on X (formerly Twitter) as @the_beardedsina, has voiced criticism over relationship influencer Blessing CEO’s recent emotional appeal for funds for a mastectomy.
Earlier, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, GistLover reported that Blessing CEO shared a viral video announcing that she is fighting stage 4 cancer. In the clips, the influencer revealed plans to sell her wigs and other assets, appealing to the public for financial assistance.
Responding to the video, Dr. Sina pointed out inconsistencies in Blessing CEO’s statements. He explained that stage 4 breast cancer indicates that the disease has spread beyond the breast to other organs such as the liver, lungs, or brain.
The doctor questioned the advice of the medical professional who recommended surgery to determine the extent of the cancer, noting that such information should already be clear at stage 4. He also expressed concern over celebrities like Blessing CEO drawing attention to Nigerian doctors in ways that could misrepresent the medical profession.
“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 sais 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.
