Being lonely and bitter is the best thing that has ever happened to me... said Linda Ikeji

In the past few weeks, the media has been
flooded with popular blogger Linda Ikeji,
throwing banters at different people. First it
was her Hermes bags (…whether nah fake abi
nah original…nobody cares, well maybe I should
say I don’t.), then different trolls coming at her
because she ‘over-did’ the bag issue. Shortly
afterwards, it was singer Wizkid came clapping
at her, before we could heave a sigh of relief,
another one from one make-up artist, Isoken,
came up, all within two weeks!
Linda is suffering from poverty mentality’, ‘Linda
is arrogant and very proud’, ‘Linda’s own is just
too

much’, ‘Linda, at this age, you are single
and searching and you still don’t have shame’…..
All these and more are some of the comments
that characterized a typical post involving the
‘single and searching blogger’.
While I was baffled by the comments of
Nigerians and social media rodents about Linda,
I was specifically stunned by Wizkid’s
submission. You called someone old to be your
aunty ‘old and bitter’ just because she was
doing her job? Where is the role model the
Nigerian youths are supposed to emulate in
you?
Isn’t it better to be old, lonely and bitter than to
jump around from one babymama to another at
an early age? You are 25 and you already have
two babymamas! And we have not talked about
the on-and-off big sister you have as a
girlfriend.
You might need to ask 2face how life has been
having children from different women. Stop
‘pouring’ in all the warm holes you encounter! It
is dangerous for your future and overall
wellbeing. Be disciplined. Isn’t it better to be
old, lonely and bitter than having to risk all the
sexually transmitted diseases in this world?
Having beautiful women for ‘dinner’ comes with
its own ‘beautiful challenges’. Have you noticed
some fine musicians of old? Have you sat down
to think of how the lives of these legends who
wallowed in enjoying women, ended? Isn’t it
better to be lonely and bitter than being a
deadbeat dad? A father is someone who is
responsible for his child/children. If your
babymama says you are an irresponsible father,
whose report should the public believe? You
could not swallow the lump of truth when the
report came out and all you did was to clap at
a sincere woman who’s trying to be responsible
for herself, her family and the society at large?
What is this world turning into?
Dear Wizkid, the world is not yours. If you think
not being married at almost age 40 results to
being bitter and at 25, you are birthing babies
you don’t have plans for, your case is more
pathetic! The Nigerian system has turned
singleness into a disease. A disease that
pushes the woman into opting for suicide if she
doesn’t have a strong will. If having kids from
different women at 25 is what being
‘responsible’ is all about, you might need to
have a rethink. Life is cruel; life is also good
but being almost 40, lonely and bitter, FOR
NOW, remains the best thing to happen to our

‘legendary’ Linda!
