This cute guy here...
Well, many months later, he contacted me with the good news...he's still very much single. Owch! lol. Unfortunately we are both not available, he would have made such a HOT boyfriend. Imagine hot me + hot Chidi = smoking hot...lol. Oh well, maybe in another lifetime.
Anyway, Chidi and I have become very good friends over the last couple of months and he's just the most wonderful guy.
He's 37 years old. Born and raised in the US. His father is Nigerian, from Imo State. His mum is African American. He played for the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, before retiring in 2004.
Since retiring, Chidi has started his own sports management and entertainment outfit in Florida and Canada where he has homes.
He attended UC Berkeley, where he graduated in 1993. He's 6'2', has the loveliest smile, deep sexy voice, he's divorced with three lovely sons
Chidi hasn't been to Nigeria in 18 years, I want to see if I can bring him home this year to work on a project with us, hopefully that will happen.
Ain't he so cute? If I didn't have a thing for someone else, I would have gone after him myself. lol
Anyway, Chidi just started his own blog...see it here http://chidiahanotu.blogspot.com/.

That's all folks. See you soon and thanks for your thoughts on the mag cover.
Hmmm...so u finally found 'the one' and u didn't bother to tell us your loyal blogger friends. Dat one na wayo o. Nawa o. Dis your blog is really reaching far and wide all over the world o. Seems u're becoming the YBF of naija or should we give dat title to Niyi?
ReplyDeleteok, Chidi aint that cute. He is just alright. jare.
ReplyDeleteThe way u were shouting single, i thought dude was unattached.
He has 3 kids.lol.
ABOUT CHIDI AHANOTU, AND LINDA SAYS 'Chidi hasn't been to Nigeria in 18 years, I want to see if I can bring him home this year, hopefully I will succeed.'LINDA IGBO SAY'WANYO WANYO'
ReplyDeleteYOU RUSH TOO MUCH WHEN U SEE MEN WITH HUGE FRAME.D LAST GUY EXPERIENCE IN YOUR LIFE HAS NOT TAUGHT YOU ANY LESSONS.THIS ONE EVEN HAS 3 CHILDREN.NA U SABI
Linda how do you want your boyfriend or fiancee to feel with these words about Chidi Ahanotu.'Ain't he so cute? If I didn't have a thing for someone else, I would have gone after him myself. lol' . Am sure you still want to go for him deep down in your heart.Take am easy o.
ReplyDeletechidi's brother is a good friend they are a wonderful family;)
ReplyDeleteLinda, an idea for ur mag cover; y not use both covers! print equal distributions of both. Some mags do that over here in the US...i'm guessing it wont cost u too much to do that. If it doesn't then do that...i think that'll be hot and give pple alot to talk about...the "wow' factor...but looooose the lungs killer o biko.
ReplyDeleteNma
LMAO
ReplyDeleteSpeakin of awards this post shld be given 1....joke of the day maybe?
@anon, I don't why I still shock you guys. U should be used to me by now. I'm an open book, I dont know how to be something else. If i think someone is cute, sexy, lovely...etc I say it. It means nothing, so don't sweat over it. Besides, the BF knows me well...
ReplyDeleteDearest,
ReplyDeleteI am reading your blog in a cyber cafe on Bonny Island.
You can watch Nigerian TV Channels on my blog.
SilverBird TV and four others.
Cheers and God bless.
yes, please allow linda to state the obvious joh. he is highly sexy i agree to that statement. lol.
ReplyDeleteU and dis ur obsession with Chidi. I do not find him attractive whatsoever. He's jess dia. And with three kids?! lol.....when u say he's attached, u mean to his three kids or to a woman?...
ReplyDeleteHe looked sorta kinda like shaq in the last pic.
Nma
Linda, the anonymous lady really got you, just take it like a joke and dont worry about it. We love you because you are original and that sets you apart from the rest. The guy is cute and no doubt,anonms might be too shy to express an open interest.
ReplyDeleteHey Linda, it's a good thing your boyfriend is understanding.... or is he just reserved.... Better praise him before praising another...:-) From what I see Chidi is just one more pot-bellied man in serious need of a diet and good exercise....;-)
ReplyDeleteOyin-- you are too funny. I laugh and laughed and laughed until no more at your comment! "He is indeed in serious need of a good diet and excercise" and yet I laugh again as I rewrite... TOO FUNNY!!!
ReplyDeleteerrrr...hook a sister up!! lol
ReplyDeleteAbi Tin tin. Abeg Linda r u sourcing for Chidi?
ReplyDeleteChidi Ahanotu is a joke man. He has three kids and is a washed up athelet he treats woman poorly. Waomanizer. He has no more game! Three kids and doesn't have custody of one and is a miserable man at that. Acts as though the world owes him somehting. Please. Get a grip, your no king for that matter a man either.
ReplyDeleteI will completly agree with the very last blog
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, he is an amazing father who loves his children dearly. Some ladies in this world do everything in their power to make a mans life very difficult and I can say first hand that this is the case with the kids mother. With that being said Chidi is no saint or angel the young lady got it right when she said he feels everyone owes him something. He does not do things out of the kindness of his heart if so he would not expect anything in return and or claim ownership over you for the rest of your life because he did something to help. In adddition he wants to live the life of a poligamist and im sorry but we live in the US not Nigiria.
