Actress Nkechi Blessing has fired back at critics after an unflattering photo of her at the gym surfaced online.

She said her focus at the gym is staying fit and healthy, not impressing anyone with her looks.

“I went to the gym to stay fit and healthy, not for a fashion show or runway. How am I supposed to look for a gym after a long day, abeg? It’s well. Una go soon intensify una attack cus na never see anything!” she wrote on Instagram.

Nkechi explained that while she initially wanted to respond harshly, the supportive comments she received encouraged her to take a calmer approach.

She added that she has left the person who took and shared the photo to God, trusting in divine judgment rather than retaliation.

Her comments come after her split from her younger boyfriend, Xxssive, whom she began dating in 2021. Their public romance, often displayed on social media, ended after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Nkechi later confirmed the breakup, clarifying that there was no bad blood and that she is enjoying her singlehood.

Despite criticism over her preference for younger men, the actress said she has maintained that she is unbothered by public opinion.

Actress Nkechi Blessing has opened up about her current single status, revealing it’s the longest she’s gone without a partner. 

Speaking on her talk show “Unfiltered with NBS,” Nkechi expressed that she’s growing tired of being single. 

She said, unlike in the past, when she’d quickly move from one relationship to another, this time she’s found herself alone for an extended period.

Blessing said: “This is actually the longest that I have been single. I am literally tired of being single. Before, once I leave one relationship, two working days, I don find another relationship”.

Nkechi’s current single status comes after her breakup with her younger partner, Xxssive, which she publicly confirmed in May 2025.

Before Xxssive, Nkechi had a highly publicised fallout with Ekiti-born politician Opeyemi Falegan, which also ended in controversy.

Nkechi admits she’s still navigating life, love and despite her past experiences, she finds this prolonged period of singleness unfamiliar but is trying to embrace it.

Actress Nkechi Blessing has expressed frustration over the wave of online hate directed at her, stressing that her livelihood depends entirely on Instagram, where she works as a brand influencer.

Addressing critics, Blessing denied claims of engaging in inappropriate activities for financial gain, insisting that all her earnings come strictly from influencing deals.

She explained that the negative attention has begun affecting her clients, saying that someone reportedly lost her page due to backlash linked to her persona.

I no Dey open legs for man before I chop…contrary to whatever you think of me, every single penny I have come from influencing different brands over the years, and you want to stop it? Wetin you really want use my downfall do”.

Actress and producer Nkechi Blessing has condemned those who use their connections and influence to frustrate other people’s success, urging them to desist from such acts.

In an Instagram video shared on Wednesday, she reflected on the struggles many face, including depression, illness, and untimely death, questioning why anyone would deliberately try to hinder another person’s progress.

“There you are, putting calls to terminate people’s contracts, badmouthing others, taking food from people’s mouths… all this influence and power you think you have, it only takes one sleep you’ll never wake from, and everything is gone. So to what end?” she lamented.

Blessing stressed the need for kindness and forgiveness, reminding people that no one leaves life alive.

She attributed her success to God, emphasising that delays are not denials.

The actress had initially been slated to sign the deal in February but faced unforeseen setbacks.

Nkechi is known for her roles in films like The Ghost and the Tout (2018) and her vibrant social media presence.

Blessing confirmed breakup with boyfriend, Xxssive (Eseoghene Obire), in May 2025, stating the relationship ended in 2024 with no bad blood.

She celebrated her return to singlehood on Instagram.

When High Chief Obio Oloyejulius tells people to stop carrying the weight of their youthful mistakes, he speaks from experience. His upcoming podcast “Old Secrets,” launching Sunday, August 17th, isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about liberation through shared vulnerability.

“Stop worrying about things you did when you were young and naive. Don’t let them ruin your present. Nothing is new—you’re not the only one who has done or seen such things,” Oloyejulius counsels, articulating the therapeutic philosophy behind his Oloflix TV show.

The concept emerged from Oloyejulius’ understanding that many Nigerians suffer in silence, believing their past actions make them uniquely flawed. His solution? Create a safe space where celebrities and everyday people can share their “old secrets” and discover they’re not alone in their humanity.

“Some people carry heavy burdens in their hearts, thinking they’ve done the worst things in the past and that God is not happy with them. But when they hear your own old secrets, they realise theirs were just small compared to yours,” he explains, describing the unexpected healing that occurs during filming.

The show’s approach to creating psychological safety is deliberately unconventional. “The world is changing, and there’s nothing new you can say that will truly harm you afterwards,” Oloyejulius argues, believing that openness, rather than secrecy, provides protection in today’s world.

His guest selection for the premiere season reflects this philosophy. Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Seyi Awolowo, Bimbo Thomas, and other prominent figures will share stories that demonstrate how shared vulnerability can strengthen rather than damage reputations.

“These secrets don’t have to be about you personally; it could be something you saw but no one knew you witnessed. It’s in the past, so it won’t hurt anyone now,” Oloyejulius clarifies, noting that the stories often involve harmless childhood mischief that becomes comedic gold years later.

The host admits that many guests experience post-interview anxiety. “Many of my guests feel like they’ve said too much after the show, feeling shy about it. But I always tell them it’s not bad, your story might help someone else open up,” he reveals, positioning the show as a form of community healing.

Oloyejulius believes this therapeutic approach will keep audiences engaged: “The more old secrets we get from our guests, the more our audience will keep waiting eagerly for the next episode.”
