Blessing is an Irish Nigerian IFBB Pro Bodybuilder and 2X Arnold Champion. 

His Instagram page has over 1.8 million followers. 

Interestingly enough, a good portion of his more than 1.8 million followers have become fans of his without knowing about his bodybuilding endeavors. 

Instead, he has gotten a following from his hilarious gym sketches and great sense of humor. 

Blessing hopes to change some of the stigma around bodybuilders being too serious and aggressive. And as someone who has known him for years, I can definitely say that he’s doing that video by video and post by post. 

An incredibly motivational and inspiring conversation with a wonderful person who I’ve known for years. Enjoy. 

• His incredible backstory of being smuggled from Nigeria to Ireland at 9 years old
• Growing up in Mayo and joining the gym to help defend himself
• Finding his passion in bodybuilding and his advice for dealing with those who don’t believe in your dream 
• How gratitude is a belief system, not just something we do
• The crazy virality of his video content online and growing to over 1 million followers in six months! 
• His Pro Bodybuilding debut that leads to a short bout of depression and how it’s become his favorite failure “no losing, only learning” 
• And much more.
