(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The incarceration of self-acclaimed relationship expert, Blessing Okoro aka Blessing CEO, has sparked social media reactions as many netizens ponder her bail conditions on Tuesday.

The African Examiner recalls that Blessing CEO 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 10 million naira, the socialite has still not left the correction centre as she has met the bail requirements.

According to reports, the bail requirements for the socialite include a 10 million naira bail and two sureties who also have 10 million naira 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.

Aside from that, 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. The African Examiner gathers some of their thoughts below:
