“IVD Was at His Lowest When I Met Him” – Blessing CEO

Blessing CEO clarified that her relationship with IVD was not motivated by his wealth or luxury lifestyle.

“When I met him, a lot was already gone. Everything people believed about his luxury life had disappeared. I didn’t meet the ‘rich IVD’ that everyone talks about,” she said.

IVD, who was also on the podcast, recounted how his late wife Bimbo’s family allegedly stripped him of his properties during his detention following the investigation into Bimbo’s controversial death.

“My in-laws dealt with me. I was in detention for over three weeks, and during that time, they moved into my house and carted away almost everything. Three cars were taken from my compound, along with my watches, designer clothes, jewelry, and even my late wife’s clothes and wigs. I had spent about ₦7 million on shopping before that, and they took it all,” IVD claimed.

Blessing CEO’s Troubled Past
