In September 2021, the controversial actress lost her mother, Madam Gloria Obasi Sunday.
Nkechi hosted a gathering on Sunday to commemorate her mother’s passing one year earlier with family members, relatives, and some of her pals.

She proceeded to call on single or divorced women in the crowd, charging them to make do with the sex toy.

“Help yourself if you don’t have a man. If you know you’re single and proud, let me see your hands,” Blessing said.
Nkechi, however, elected to spice things up by including different types of dildos in the gift bag.
One of the guests at the event shared a clip of her gift bag and the different sex toys in it on social media and it instantly generated attention.
It’s however, uncertain if the souvenirs containing gift bags were given to male guests as well.
However, Nkechi has been slammed by social media users for sharing sex toy as souvenirs at her mother’s remembrance on Sunday.
A tweep @funnydafid said: Nkechi Blessing you can do better than that..Sharing sex toy to ladies and bloggers pushing it here and there is very bad for the growing ladies,we need to know how best to influence our society right and stop chasing clout or staying relevant on socials with awful things.
A tweep, Warepanor Sammy said, “Nkechi Blessing has no respect for the dead, she is insensitive, has no honour for her mother and has no value for life.”
The Only AyoIfe slammed the actress for announcing the gift in the presence of a minor, tweeting, “If no be say that Nkechi Blessing is a sick…, how can you display dildos like that and share as souvenirs in a party where kids are present?”
Tunrayo went spiritual as he said, “Masturbating is a huge sin and I feel most sins have now become normalised; this wouldn’t normalise it in the eyes of God. Nkechi Blessing has displayed the highest level of stupidity a woman of her age can ever do. Makes me wonder if she told anyone about this before doing it.”
Sir David Onyemaizu tweeted, “This Nkechi Blessing is just another nuisance in the Nollywood movie industry. Imagine sharing dildos in an event where minors are present. Goes to show you that being a celebrity is not equal to common sense. There are certain things that common sense just tells you.”
Another tweep, Bella Okagbue said, “To think Nkechi Blessing ‘mourned’ her mum to the point of fainting during the burial last year, one year later she wants others to ‘moan’ with dildos. Women influencing women I see.”
@unik_spice said: “Well I’m not surprised. Nkechi blessing’s mum was the king of girls those days in Abule Egba. Anyone who knows pere city can relate. Sharing dildos on her mum’s remembrance is nothing new. No be today nkechi begin dey craze.”
Reacting to the critics, she said, “My own mother that gave birth to me died on September 22nd 2021…23rd 2022 I had her quiet remembrance and prayers, went to the streets and gave out food and water, nobody Kuku hear anything…25th was my mother’s birthday hence the cake and a little party to host few friends…not like you all deserve any explanations what I choose to do with my own life… Cus when we dey suffer/hungry I no see any of una… So make all of una try rest.”
“SHALOM, I saw comments of people that have forgotten their parents that are still alive and I couldn’t stop laughing. My dear go back home and take care of your parents Cus na hypocrites all of una be.”
Popular Nigerian TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis or Jadrolita, have fired back at critics of their recent wedding, urging them to stop being envious and focus on their own lives.
The couple, whose wedding became one of the biggest talking points on Nigerian social media over the weekend, shared a now-viral video of themselves dancing and singing while seemingly addressing those who questioned their decision to marry at a young age.

In the video, the newlyweds sang: “Na we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.”
The clip quickly gained traction online, with many social media users interpreting it as a direct response to the criticism that followed their wedding.
Reacting to the video, a social media user identified as Lombardio commented, “This boy did the worst mistake of his life, but he has no idea. Here in America, before you agree to a court wedding with a woman, you need to sign a valid prenuptial agreement.”
However, others defended the couple’s decision.
Another user, Osinachi Wisdom, wrote, “This marriage will favour them; many people expect them to break up later, but believe me, their union will be one of the best. Kudos.”
Similarly, another commenter, Jay, praised the couple for embracing each other’s imperfections.
“They both saw and knew their shortcomings; still, they got married. That’s real love. Marriage isn’t about love alone but the ability to manage the shortcomings. I wish you two everlasting happiness and peace in your union,” Jay said.
Peller and Jarvis’ wedding, held on Saturday, attracted congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities and fellow content creators.
However, it also sparked debate, with some Nigerians arguing that the pair were too young and questioning whether they were emotionally and financially prepared for marriage.
Despite the backlash, many supporters maintained that age should not determine the success of a marriage, insisting that mutual understanding, commitment and compatibility are more important.

Popular Nigerian content creator and self-styled relationship and finance influencer, Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, has responded to criticism after videos of him attending what appeared to be a traditional wedding ceremony sparked widespread reactions online.
The controversy began after GehGeh shared videos from the event on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday.

In the clips, he was seen dressed in a matching burgundy traditional outfit with a lady, while an invitation card identified the couple as Mary and Prosper, leading many social media users to speculate that the influencer had secretly tied the knot.
The videos quickly went viral, with several Nigerians accusing GehGeh of hypocrisy, claiming his appearance at the ceremony contradicted the relationship advice he is known for giving on social media.
Addressing the backlash, GehGeh dismissed the claims, insisting that he has never advised anyone against marriage. He also clarified that he was only representing his brother, who lives abroad.
“So I no fit represent my brother wey dey abroad?” he wrote in one of his posts.
Responding directly to critics, GehGeh challenged anyone to produce evidence that he had ever discouraged marriage.
“I never for once told y’all not to get married. Did I? If yes, show me a video of me telling you not to marry.”
He further argued that many Nigerians misunderstand how social media works, saying: “Nigerians really don’t understand how social media works. If you know how to use it properly, you will never lack.”
Despite his clarification, the incident has continued to generate mixed reactions across social media, with some users accepting his explanation while others remain sceptical.
