God would keep showing up for her because all she ever did was wish good for everyone around her,” she declared, adding that despite attempts to “paint her black,” she would “continue to rise and shine bright like the glorious child that she is.
The actress’s Canadian appearance follows her recent vocal stance against industry politics. In a notable statement, she had criticized colleagues who engage in backbiting and two-faced behavior, calling for a more supportive entertainment community. If they must quit something this year, they should quit the habit of spoiling people’s names at their backs and being two-faced,” she stated, highlighting her commitment to authenticity in an industry often marked by complex relationships.
Nigerian-Canadian event coordinator Sarah Thompson explains, “Having personalities like Nkechi Blessing at our events helps strengthen the cultural ties between both countries. Her presence not only elevates the profile of our awards but also provides the Nigerian-Canadian community with a direct connection to contemporary Nollywood culture.

The Nigerian Canadian Celebrities Entertainment Awards, where Blessing will make her appearance, has become an important platform for celebrating Nigerian talent in North America.
