як Melvina Jasso (2021-10-20)


Linda Ikeji is a famous blogger in Nigeria who in 2013 made it onto the list of Forbes influential bloggers which is no easy feat!

dabota-lawson-attacks-blogger-linda-ikejHer blog provides news, beauty tips, and celebrity gossip to her readers.

She started blogging when she was 17 years old with no background in journalism or writing experience.

Today, she has over 3 million followers on Facebook where she posts almost daily.

With so many people following her work, Linda has been able to make a living for herself by running the blog as well as taking advertisements from various companies.

She has been able to launch her own beauty line as well as a clothing line via print on demand.

She was also named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2014 and awarded an honorary doctorate from Babcock University.

Linda continues to work hard to provide her readers with the latest posts and information on entertainment news.

She has been in the spotlight for her success and achievements as an entrepreneur while being one of Nigeria's most successful bloggers to date.

linda.jpgHer blog began when she had just finished school with no further ideas about what career path to take until she discovered blogging.

Common,omomtola can't be a billionaire. Linda is a billionaire. Seun ke. He is rich but can't be richer than Linda. You need to Google how bloggers make their money. Every click on her blog is $$$$. What adverts do you see on nl? Linda made so much money during the election and then nl didn't get even one advert from any of the parties. Don jazzy is rch but can you actually compare him to someone who makes millions every week. I doubt he is richer.
linda's net worth $10 million. Don Jazzy $35 million. check before you talk

If Linda has ever defamed someone via her publications,there are saner more honourable means to call her to order instead of embarrassing one's self and family members in the name of bashing her. Look at Wizkid now... No way someone would think of his family background without cringing in disgust. How could a celebrity ever allow such rotten words come out of his mouth publicly. I just pity all Nigerian ladies supporting Wizkid - he has indirectly told people that it is ok to insult,threaten and generally debase women. When you see increased number of women suffering abuses of all kinds,then remember the part you played.


I pity naija women. Instead of them to support a woman who is trying to set a precedent, they are beefing her. Even Kim and amber rise had to shealth their sword to fight people slut shaming women. But these naija girls can't think.


Guys always yab women by calling them h0es, slu,it etc. It needs to stop. Violence against women should never be allowed. Linda want to help women. They least they can do is back her and not dig up her sins.


Let them be beefing her. She is in her mansion with lots of money in the bank and some of these jobless women are beefing her.


I just forgot that women are their worst enemies.

dont mind them.... As if.. if a friend of theirs lie against them just to bring them down they would not punch him in the face... For example lets say a friend comes to visit you and on on getting to your place saw you guys packing your belongings into a vehicle and instead of asking you what's going on, goes on twitter, facebook or ig to start saying these guys have been thrown out of their house whereas they are packing to the house they just completed ni.. Now tell me, the next time you see the guy, will you smile at him first or punch him first??

she didn't make blogging what it is today. If you don't know the history of blogging, why not find out its history? She isn't the first blogger and there are silent bloggers who do theirs with professionalism.


Do you see the damage her method of blogging has done to Nigerian blogosphere, even up to the extent that people now hack traffic source just for adsense clicks. I know a dude who does this.


Would I blame you? No. This is Nigeria where people sell their souls because of money, little wonder she is ready to say anything controversial because of money.


ok...since she isn't who made blogging what it is...can you tell me who did?

let me educate a lot of u ignorant folks here...


you see...Press/Media/Journalism law is the only area of law where if someone reports something and you say its a lie...the onus of disproving that fact lies with you...


so if Linda says femi did DNA or RMD has a house or wizkid got evicted....they are the ones to take her to court and prove she is wrong or inacurate....


she can then rely on either legal defences called 'truth' or 'justification'

i would have considered it necessary to educate you on the above but there is no point since the people denying those storius(wiz didnt even deny his own) never even went to court.


you think if she was lying they wont have gone to court to get some 'share' of her wealth?

Brother, this whole episode is extremely enlightening. It shows that many Nigerians are envious monsters who despise other people's success and would exploit any window of opportunity to bring you down because of that. It's like they are oppressed by your success and they cannot even disguise it.


Imagine the senseless and baseless comments many fools are dropping here and elsewhere. What exactly is Linda's crime? She is a blogger, and her job entails reporting soft news about public figures, whether good bad or ugly....which we can liken to some sort of e-soft sell platform. Conventional soft sell platforms like City People Magazine, Enconmium, and Yes Magazine write far WORSE things, many times even untrue, about celebrities and public figures. How come the publishers of these magazines (Seye Kehinde and Co) don't get this level of hate? Even bloggers like Stella Dimoko report more bile and slanderous things than Linda would ever dare, but because Stella doesn't live in Banana Island, she does not have the 'privilege' of being subjected to this level of hate and envy.


It is truly incredible. A nation of pathetic losers and envious haters.

Word! the day stella becomes mega rich...she ll be the next target...

Nigga,do you know why Chris Brown lost all his endorsements? Is wizkid as good or bigger than Chris Brown? People do not even buy Chris Brown's album anymore despite asking for forgiveness several times.


Wizkid ought to loose all his endorsements for what he did. Well,Nigeria is a place where anything goes. How can we be better in this country of ours with our thinking.


I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished for any wrong doing he's guilty of....neither am I saying he was right in threatening to instigate assault on Linda. It is only fair for us to know that the only real damage you can do to anyone is that you do to their psyche.... And for those saying why can't dey sue....don't tell me you don't know why they're aren't suing....obviously it will lead to more scandalous revelations on both sides.
Playing gender card no help anybody take it or you leave we know it's a facade.....wiz ain't touching no woman. What about those people she had bullied morally through her blogging by putting up issues about their private lives on the web. These things are gonna be there forever and you seem not to care about the effect it has on them and their people.

FACTS? Hope u know this their history did not start yesterday. She has been posting lies for a while. This happened in october last year and she never retracted the statement:


4 days ago, Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji broke the news that students of American University of Nigeria are pissed with singer, Wizkid for failing to honour an alleged ‘agreement’ with the school as regards coming to perform at the school.


With the news having gone viral, the school authorities In an official statement signed by the office of Students Activities and Involvement, the University explained that contrary to reports, there was no contractual agreement between the two parties because Wizkid stated his unavailability for the chosen date.


With this, Wizkid goes straight for Squareblogs.Net the jugular in a series of tweets where he said, ‘I know this is all that’s feeding you and your family but please , let people with real talent and purpose live their life!’.


The guy clearly had ENOUGH this time!

give us links to your story...and please deny whether someone did not accuse wiz true true...

Ever heard of junk journalism? Calling what Linda Ikeji does journalism is an insult to journalists the world over. Even Sahara Reporters are shamed by her. First you mentioned facts, Linda posted about Wizkid being chased outta his rented flat, how come? He wasn't even in Nigeria, she didn't interview the agent who chased him out, no court order, nothing to base her statement on except of course an unnamed source, that's even if she has.


Now Wizkid messed up by threatening her but I do understand things from his point of view. Here is a lady whose main source of income is spreading false information, and she has never been punished for it. Simply because we live in a society that condones rumours and expect that the victim settles with his accuser in house. Which is wrong.


About her being the source if inspiration for bloggers, my brother, you have to be specific. She's no source, she just the archetype of the wrong in the society. The young man who owns writers in charge, Bella naija, beegeagle blog, now those are blogs, not the nonsense Linda does.


oga...the only rationale i see in you posting this is that you are part of wiz's PR team...

Heck even Wizkid didnt deny the story...how come you are holding forth for him? if you claim he did...please give us links and evidence. and who says you have to be in the country to be chased out?


oga the law covers these kinda issues...if wiz says she is lying...y hasnt he sued linda for defamation or libel?


You guys running his PR team are doing a bad job...

Darn! (drops mic)

There is a limit to everything. My friend in Lekki, same place the said wizzy house, told me Wizzy own that house and he said it with so much vibes, gusto and conviction. He has lived most of his life in Lekki and he knows every nook and cranny of that enclave like the back of his hand. I told him no, wizzy does not own it but he told me Wizzy own it.


Do not be surprise that what might have happened could be case of giving some of his belongings to his mother for new house he just bought for her and onlookers took to mean eviction.

No wonder she is not married. Who will marry a cunning witch. See how she painted the whole story to gain sympathy. It has now turned to violence against women because she knows she will get sympathy support from weak, lonely and bitter women like her.


She sounding all nice like she has nothing against wizkid, but deep down in her evil mind, she wants the boy to go down. She wish his endorsement will be terminated. No body got time for a lonely witch like Linda. Why not go to Pepsi and glo and beg them to terminate his endorsement. All your evil wishes for Wizzy will not manifest. Like he said, you will marry your laptop at the end of the day. Old hag, Madam gagu. She keeps talking as if she is a virgin... I don't do runs, I work for my money, blah blah blah..who send you.


Damnnn! I'm shocked. Hope you are not trying to be a copy and paste blogger like Aunty Linda? You just copied my post like that. But anyways it's all good. Anything to tackle that old witch is welcomed.


Not every lady is gullible like the ones who beg for 10 and 20k give away on LIB. Some ladies use their head. You say rubbish about ppl on your blog and when they tackle you, you begin to play victim and start sharing money on your blog so that you can buy sympathy from ppl who suffer financial and intellectual poverty. Indeed Linda is a manipulative witch. Aje ponbale.
