The continuous incarceration of self-acclaimed relationship expert, Blessing Okoro aka Blessing CEO, in a correctional centre has sparked social media reactions as many netizens mock her over inability to meet bail conditions.
The Federal High Court, Lagos has granted social media influencer, Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, N10 million bail for alleged cyber-bullying.
Recall that Blessing CEO was arraigned by the Lagos State Police Command before Justice Yelim Bogoro on six count charges bordering on alleged cyber-bullying, libel, and exhibiting uncensored movies.
She was remanded in prison on the 1st of April over alleged cyber-bullying of Folashade Samuels, the sister of late Bimbo Ogbonna, wife to business mogul, IVD, who it was rumoured that she was dating.
Although she was granted bail of N10 million, the socialite has still not left the correctional centre as she could not meet the bail requirements.

According to reports, the bail requirements for the socialite include a 10 million naira bail and two sureties who also have N10 million in their accounts. Also, these two sureties must be influential people who have houses in highbrow areas in Lagos like Lekki, Banana Island, Ikoyi etc.
Moreover, the sureties would have to submit their statement of account as well as their international passports for inspection.
This development has sparked debate on Twitter as some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform to debate that the bail conditions are a bit enormous and some criticised the relationship expert for her fake lifestyle.
