Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has told relationship expert Blessing CEO that her latest public apology should begin at the grave of the late Bimbo Ogbonna, the wife of her boyfriend IVD, before she seeks forgiveness from the living.
The message came after Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, shared a tearful Instagram video apologising to people whose pain she once mocked. She said the recent death of her son, Bryan, whom she called Doom Doom, had shown her the weight of grief she previously spoke about carelessly. She described herself as broken, exhausted, and ready to turn around like the prodigal son.Sarah Martins responded with a direct open letter.
“Dear Blessing CEO, Your apology should begin with a visit to Bimbo’s grave, where you should sincerely seek her forgiveness. The living may eventually find it in their hearts to forgive you, but mocking someone who is no longer alive and subsequently flaunting her husband crossed a line that was deeply insensitive and absolutely unacceptable. That went far beyond what any genuine apology could repair.”
She continued:
“After seeking Bimbo’s forgiveness, I sincerely hope you find your way back to God. Go before Him with a genuinely repentant heart, surrender completely and allow Him to work on the parts of you that need healing and transformation. The pain you are carrying may be deeper than we can understand, but neither public sympathy nor human forgiveness can replace the peace, healing, and redemption that only God can give.”
Sarah closed by stressing that words alone are not enough.
“True remorse is not just about saying sorry; it is about acknowledging the depth of the hurt you caused, taking responsibility and demonstrating genuine transformation. I wish you genuine repentance.”
Bimbo Ogbonna died on October 15, 2023. In the years that followed, Blessing CEO publicly disputed claims surrounding her death, shared material that critics called mocking, and later faced court charges related to cyber-bullying and libel. She issued an apology to the family in 2024. The two women have clashed repeatedly since then over public comments and personal matters.
