AN OPEN LETTER TO LINDA IKEJI AND WIZKID
Come and take P***y Cleanser! Linda Ikeja is a B**ch! I will not let Wizkid get away with his threats…Wizkid has been begging me since Friday…Wizkid this, Linda that…hmmmm..
If you both were not media personalities, I would have said you are looking for cheap fame…you are not only media personalities, you are youth influencers, and you manned your crafts to become what you imagined yourselves to be. A Celebrity Blogger and a Music Star…
I also understand that this journey of success you now enjoy didn’t come on a platter of gold; you must have earned it through hard work, sacrifice and passion. Now you are leaders in your field and as leaders, you are role models to the society, Nigerian/International/Brand Ambassadors, Social Media influencers, Entertainment gurus, and Young people look up to you for direction, endorsements and mentorship. Even adults have a sense of social entertainment and relaxation when they listen to your music @wizkidayo and read your blog @lindaikejiblog. Why then have you decided to turn yourselves to mere banters, rivals and unpleasant media topics, giving our emerging bloggers uncouth stories to write about instead of concentrating your energy on how to move the nation forward? If you were either of same sex or in similar fields, I would have assumed it is beef! What about conserving your creative energy for writing and singing about women uplifting issues and youth development, nation building etc.? What about promoting virtues and transforming the face of Nigeria globally with your innovations. Why are you making everyone think you are too rich, too lazy and too bored to keep quiet and create something new?
Wizkidnwa, do you think you have gotten to your peak and there are no more mountains to conquer? I will come to you later…Lindachukwu, do you think that’s all you can offer as a Media Mogulette?
You are one of the topmost celebrity blogger that I respect not only in Nigeria but across the world. You are one of the few online geeks who brought meaning to social media and online marketing in Nigeria. You have also empowered young ladies in the business of blogging, online affiliate and writing, why can’t you just stay there, why are you bringing yourself down? Must you respond to everything Wizkid says? For crying out loud, you are not mates! If you were married to his brother and you love him, would you exchange ranting with him? I still respect you and I urge you to continue in the path you have chosen for yourself and apart from excelling in your career, I think you are a woman that cherishes family and you really desire a Man, a home and your own kids and I believe that very soon, God shall give you the bone of your bone and your kids shall come in double. However, you have to stop this drama; it is becoming stale, unpopular and childish. I am not sure your future husband would like to keep reading this because I know he is somewhere watching you right now.
Wizkid, I love you like a brother and I am very proud of you. You have a great instinctual and creative splendor that only few people could tap into. You are indeed a star and I love your songs especially…I Love my baby-(singing), the first time I saw you perform on stage was in 2015 at the Eko-hotel and Suite, and as usual you nailed it. The name Wizkid is a great choice because it transcends age barriers and people can easily connect with it but don’t forget that you are a father and you are meant to be a role model to your child. Everything you and Linda rant about are all documented on social media and you might not even be able to erase them all if you have to. So imagine your child grows and gets wiser, ask yourself if he/she will be happy to read about his father the way you are portraying yourself. With this, I won’t mince words to say, you have no respect for the Nigerian entertainment scene with the way you talk and you have no sense of sanctify for women folk. If you are not even married to your baby Mama, at least, a woman gave birth to you and you also have them as sisters and Linda Ikeji, just like every other woman is emotional but you keep digging things up.
To our bloggers, I will not end this without leaving a word or two for you, I know you all want to be like Linda Ikeji and you also want to create traffic on your blogs/website for more people to subscribe to your articles but please, let’s drop this story. If Linda writes and Wizkid responds or vice versa and you let them be, the story will gradually die a natural death. Try concentrate on more stories that will give you credibility and stop the copying and pasting attitude, most especially, you must understand that social media is highly influential and it can make or mar anything, anybody or any country. The way you lay your bed is the way you lay on it. Stop spreading wrong things about our people, our government and our nation to external world. If you continue to do this, you will be like Isaac who sold his birthright for a plate of Porridge. You might excel as a blogger but your people and your nation will keep diminishing externally. Together, let us #rebrandnigeria, #prayfornigeria.
Finally, as a musician and a blogger, you should both celebrate yourselves and promote each other’s works. Linda should promote Wizkid and Wizkid should encourage women to be self-motivated like Linda. Now, if I have hurt you both with words, please ignore and forgive because you both called for it and as a true Nigerian with a sense of social responsibility, I cannot allow this to linger. No matter what the problem is, I implore you both to bring an end to this brouhaha and let peace reign.
On behalf of fellow Nigerians, I love you, and may God bless and keep you both @Wizkidayo and @Lindaikeji
