Why Being Lonely And Bitter is The Best Thing to Happen to 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!
