A popular Nigerian blogger famed for her makeup tips is counting losses after she was unmasked by a tycoon for claiming that she owned a luxurious duplex.
According to Legit Nigeria, Blessing Nkiruka Okoro was outed and arrested after the businessman, Onye Eze, got wind that she was flaunting his mansion located in Enugu state on social media as hers.
The businessman reported to be based in China is said to have confronted and demanded that the handcuffed blogger publicly apologizes and confesses that she did not own the house.
It all started to go south for the blogger on her extravagant 30th birthday when she unveiled the new 7-bedroom duplex as a grass to grace piece.
She boldly claimed to have built it and propped her ownership of the huge development with videos of architectural plans.
Blessing then cleverly masqueraded the house as the fruits of her hard work and triumph eight years after she was allegedly thrown out by her ex-husband.
“8 years ago my ex-husband threw me out of his 1-bedroom apartment. 8years later I built myself a 7-bedroom duplex.
“I picked up all the stones he threw at me to build myself. I became too strong and fortified. Yes, dreams do come true,
“I had so much hope, so happy I will have a big kitchen and a compound to myself, could not wait to have my room…as we went to inspect the place during weekends,” she wrote.
Blessing Nkiruka Okoro is not the first to fake her lifestyle
The fast Instagram life caught up with former NTV presenter Kobi Kihara while in United States a month after joining the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York.
Kihara was at the mercy of Kenyans online after hawk-eyed fans reverse searched a photo of her plate of salad that she claimed she made and discovered it was lifted from the internet.
Using the hashtag #KobiWithAnEye, Kenyans mocked Kihara for 'faking her lifestyle' after other images from her account also gave similar results including a collection of expensive stiletto heels.
