Was I wrong to apologize to Susan Peters?

For the record, I've never met Susan Peters, never spoken to her, don't care if she likes me or what she thinks of me. The only reason I apologized to her was because from the way she was ranting on twitter after the BB Porsche phone post on LIB, it seemed to me like she was deeply hurt and I kinda felt bad that I was responsible for making another person feel that way (Yes, contrary to popular opinion, I have a conscience...lol). She was getting a lot of bashing on twitter and I wanted it to stop, so I sent her a DM. She made the DM public.

I have absolutely no problem saying sorry to anyone, whether I'm right or wrong. If saying sorry will make another person feel better, then I will say it! Only now there are those who think I was wrong to have apologised to the actress. Continue to read what they wrote about the whole episode and share your thoughts.


LIB/Susan Peters Faceoff: Apologies My Foot!
Written by Nigeria Bulletin

When last Tuesday, Linda Ikeji published on her entertainment blog, the picture of Nollywood actress Susan Peters posing with her latest acquisition – a Blackberry Porsche smart phone, nothing in the picture or the accompanying article suggests the slightest intent of malicious attack on the self-perceived superstar nor the cyber war the article would generate.

As it has become synonymous with such posts on LIB, the Susan Peters article turned out not only to be a juicy piece considering the number of hits and comments it generated (some 216 comments as yesterday), but was equally devoured , appropriately digested and judgmentally spewed by readers and lovers of the blog.

Quite unfortunately, Susan Peters retaliatory rants on Twitter over the comments of some of LIB readers and her targeted vituperation against Linda Ikeji, together with the controversial tendered apology of the latter to the former, has questioned the moral ethics of unbiased and factual reportage in journalism.

For starters, if Linda Ikeji was to be a true professional journalist in the real sense of it, she would have understood she owed Susan Peters absolutely no apologies for publishing both the article and the comments made by the readers. The tenets of the journalistic trade have it that such actions are solely reserved in cases where the writer has published erroneous or untrue stories.

By quickly aligning herself with Susan Peters and tendering an apology, Linda Ikeji has proven firstly, that she’d rather curry the favour of some selected few to discharging her duties professionally and secondly, has indirectly stated that the opinions and actions of her fans meant little or nothing to her. (Dear Nigeria Bulletin, not true. I love my readers). For the records, the millions of readers of the blog made what LIB is today. Least Linda forgets, whatever she publishes on her blog can be readily sourced on other online and print entertainment platforms.

Back to Peters, the uncouth mannerisms with which she attacked, Linda Ikeji, her sister and LIB readers who by extension can arguably be said to be her fans, further depicts the careless, arrogant and senseless attitude of some of Nigerian entertainers to their audience and fans. Calling her fans ‘nonentities’ and Linda ‘failed human being’ is the height of being irresponsible. These two set of people by extension are the media and fans that made her! Like the proverbial river that forgets its source, Susan Peters will fade fast into obscurity and irrelevance if not for these category of people. Common sense should have prevailed on her to first reason the consequences of having the paparazzi take the picture or make it public in the first instance.

If Susan Peters understood the essence of PR, an intelligent thing she ought to have done is made her publicist (that is if she has one) handle the matter professionally rather that cursing and raving like the average omo alata over the social media.

As a parting shot, Linda Ikeji should take a clue from Yahoo! News and other reputable media houses that has never for once apologised for their publications simply because of the bruised ego of some affected persons. If there is anyone or group of people she should apologise to, it is her fans whose unwavering readership and support made her blog what it is today. In similar vein, Susan Peters should tender apologies to her fans too for the embarrassment, employ a publicist to manage her public affairs and better still, get herself enrolled in anger management classes..
***

Some of her twitter rants...





And the controversial apology...
To LIB readers, I didn't apologize to insult my readers, and I apologize if it seems that way. I apologized to Susan Peters to make her feel better....it was a private message, she made it public.

I never should apologize again, no matter what? Or was my apology OK? Please let me know what you think...

If ur conscience told u dat u shud apologize, den u were not wrong to do so. However, u didn't publish a pic/story of her dat was false or derrogatory, so d Nigeria Bulletin ppl were right in saying dat as a journalist, u shouldn't have apologised. Learn from dis sha, No More Personal Apologies for publishing true stories objectively. BTW, u are NOT a 'failed human being' in anyway. Most folks don't know d magnitude of work involved in running 'Just a Blog', only a fellow blogger would understand. Plus ur blog is currently No.1 in Naija, its not beans.

you know you did not mean the apology. so no P.
meanwhile you guys keep calling her an actress,when last did she act?even when she was acting,what notable thing did she act?It is like being treated for an ailment by Bukola Saraki simply because he went to medical school over 25years ago.That is a recipe for disaster.
This girl will remain the butt of jokes as long as she has no discernible source of large living and continues to force her face in the public for no reason.what is she popular for again?
All these runs girls should stop claiming actress and model jo!
meanwhile i hope you have also prepared your sarcastic apology for Ebube?

Linda, I respect your blog a whole lot. I too have taken blows on your blog but we all know its journalism and the quest for information not that you want to hurt. You shouldn't have apologized to Susan Peters for sharing information with your readers. She just showed the ugly part of her and all the name calling was below the belt. Despite all, you've proved you are human just try to separate the feelings next time.

Personally I think Susan P ws over reacting, LIB wrote u acquired bb porsche wsnt a lie now. A true celebrity knows hw to ignore the media and kip your fans guessing. Take a cue from Geneive & Beyonce

First, you are not responsible for the comments of your readers. Secondly, you can't go apologising to everyone just to make them feel good.
Thirdly, I mean she actually posed for the picture with the phone as the main subject so what did she expect?

At the end of the day you have to do what makes you sleep better at night, not what your readers think is right. You apologized because you wanted to and because it was the nice thing to do. You came off as the bigger person and as long as you are at peace with that, you are good to go.

Linda I don't understand u o! Y did u apologize. It now seemed like u were asskissing. Did u apologize to sarah ofili or naeto c and nicole or all the other 'celebrities' that people have misyarned about at some point or the other. This susan babe is just really insecure. See now she went to go n rant on twitter n put ur DM out there. Obviously she was being sarcastic when she said 'apology accepted'. Ur like the most controversial blogger in naija yet ur forming apology, so when u say u don't care if she likes u or what she thinks about u, that apology just proves otherwise.

U fall my hand babes.

Mrs. W said...

Ok...i take back my initial comment. I didn't read her twitter posts before i left my comment. You shouldn't have apologized simply because of all the insults she sent your way. You should have just ignored her. She is very immature.

I'm going to google her now to know exactly who she is. I don't think i've seen any of her movies.

Very wrong dear, you shouldn't have apologized.

Nah, you shouldn't have. SP is just being an idiot and I've said that much on yeoal where I first saw the twitter rants.

Sweetheart, na becos she no sabi ur influence; that same pics was on JimmySonde and it had less than 5 comments, you put it up here, it got over 200 comments. She should have just taken the piss (find some humorous angle or something to tie to the whole brouhaha and get herself some new fans/ffs).

hi linda, i don't think you should have apologized. Especially because of the way she abused you. Also you need to be careful, there are stories circulating that you are getting paid and bribed to make stories and posts go away. Don't destroy what you have built....Your no. 1 fan and supporter

Hey Linda, I don't see a problem with the apology, it was quite mature. I don't know who Susan Peters is but as a public figure she needs to learn a bit more social etiquette, hers are sadly lacking in finesse. Cheers~

You know very well you are dead wrong otherwise you should not be asking. In journalism, you don't apologize for a true story!

Gbelela Michael said...

Sincerely speaking Linda, I am on the passive readers of your blog sites for another perspective to know what is happening in our cosmossphere and I must admit you are doing a great stuff which have put you in a good book as a reference point to online journalism. To this in reaction to the undeserved bashing you received from Susan Peters, who claimed he is a big celebrity knock common self in its head. For the avoidance of doubt, what you reported to me is a spot on pictureq story which commentators are at liberty to relate with based on their selective perception and I beg to refrain fro using vile words that she does not deserved unwarranted apology you tendered on the wake of the unengaging vituperation coming from Ms Peter.Continuing doing your thing and let whoever feel that sentimental about your blog content should sue you for defamation and if there is nothing to sue, they should jump at the lagoon for ease of life.The apology is an honest mistake taken to the limit of amnesia by Ms Peter, now she feeling like a celebrity that she is not over the issue. Why on earth will a forgotten Hollywood pastime pose with a phone and yet expect it not to be a media reaction? maybe the sore point of the picture was the colour intensity of the picture that does the image of the artist in a bad light with all the freckles of skin shown. That is expected but an apology is unwarranted.Thank YOU

Darling ur appology was 100% okay! Even perez hilton the #1 blogger in America, appologised to Jennifer Aniston when she called him a "Mean Person" after one of his posts! I don't know why she made it public tho! But she needs to get a PR to handle such things instead of ranting on twitter, or she should develop a thick skin & ignore such things! Either way, ur appology was okay!

Well be rest assured Yahoo News you're not, more like mediatakeout. Your responsibility is not to report unbiased news. You look for inflammatory posts that generate comments and clicks. It's all about business to you. What's worrisome is a so called "journalist" holding you to any journalistic standards. You would think he should know better.

As a blogger, if you did something majorly wrong, then you should apologize.

This crazy woman, starts ranting and you apologize? Haba Linda. Going by that, you're going to be apologizing every day lol.

Only apologize in extreme cases, and you be the judge of that. Susan Peters' was not extreme.

Don't even know what Susan Peters does, went on her twitter and read the tweets, she's so immature #fail. Just cos there's no papparazi in Nigeria lol

Dear Linda, you dont own her any appologies ok, you shouldnt written to her at all. She is in the public glare and she should be prepared to take any bashing that comes her way;besides that is one of the pains that comes with being a celeb. I think her rantings are baseless, she has no point, she should have been grateful to you for even identifying with her ok. Kudos girl and dnt let no one pull you down.

Hey Linda, I totally agree with Nigeria Bulletin. If you intend to always apologise when people don't like what you publish, then don't bother publishing. People will always interpret a publication anyway they like, your only duty is to report facts. Anyways, we all get it wrong once in a while, so don't beat yourself up over it...keep your head up!

Linda you obviously annoyed her with that post but you have also hurt other people with your blog. have you apologized to them? why her? it only makes it look like your partial to some peoples feelings.

Kim said...

You never should have put up the post in the first place. If you want yourself to be viewed as a professional blogger/ journalist (whatever you guys call yourselves), you should stay away from meaningless posts which add no informational value whatsoever to the reader.

The writer telling you to take a cue from Yahoo! news as regards never apologizing should have also asked you to take a cue from the same site on professional reporting.

Have you ever seen where it made headlines on Yahoo news that Halle Berry bought the latest ipad? or that Anne Hathaway bought the latest Chervolet SUV? Such frivolities don't make news because they are NOT NEWSWORTHY! And let's not forget the lawsuit that would be slapped on the ass so hard that the journalist wouldn't be able to sit for weeks should he/she make the mistake of posting something that could damage the celebrity's image.

You cannot call yourself a professional and at the same time pander to sensationalism. You cannot compare your blog to people.com and at the same time, indulge in the same manner of reporting at TMZ! like the good book says, you cannot serve two masters at a time! You must choose! Either you're a professional or a sensationalist who'd rather splash the details of people's personal lives all over the internet just for personal gain.

The rate at which journalism in Nigeria is fast sinking into decadence is rather saddening. Someone posted on twitter one day that : Journalists say the pen is a mighty tool but some of their colleagues beg to disagree; for those ones, money holds more power. In my opinion Linda, your blog leans more towards the latter. You wouldn't mind indulging in unprofessional journalism just to get traffic to your blog which will only translate to one thing; MONEY thanks to advertisers.

I will never forget the backlash you received from the public for posting up the picture of Late Sam Loco Efe (RIP) in the exact state he was when he died. Was there no sense of decorum when you decided to publish that?!

I know your band of Voltrons will come teeth barring and in the mood to chew and honestly, I care about their rantings as much as I would care about what I deposit in the toilet! I've only said my own.

As for apologizing, if it was unprofessional to do, at least it was the human thing to do. You were a human being long before you became a journalist/blogger!

Linda

U were wrong to apologies because you said nothing wrong, u didn't insult her or call her names when u put up the pic....u even joked and called her 'a big girl doing big things'.

I was surprised when I saw her rants on twitter because it was woo uncalled for. No shots were fired, she wrong wrong attacking you. As for the comments, she is a celebrity therefore she should be used to the fact that everyone must not like her, either for her lack of acting skills or personally.

She needs to hire a publicist because she doesnt know how to handle situations like this

Linda you did the right thing! Make she no go commit suicide because of u o, susan p obviously has deep set issues. I didn't even know her before you put her up on this blog, who is she and what has she done to be famous? At least you have a credible job! never apologise for it, could she and a lot of other people make the blog work? Or live off it? She was truly raving on twitter like a mental omo ita smh. She has issues, why take this picture and make it public anyway? So no one should have an opinion? The picture was not flattering, should LIB readers lie? Get over it susan, you no fine and you should have used the money you used to buy that phone to sort out ur skin! Linda well done, free speech...continue ur work jare

He/She that apologizes is the most matured regardless of the situation, it shows, you are peace loving. your DM to her even makes a lot of sense, one the writer of that bulletin didn't see. you didn't apologize for what you wrote about her, you didn't apologize for all the comments it generated, you apologized for the insulting comments and tweets, which you were sure was getting to her. that's within ethics I think. Some of these people we call actors, artiste role models most times act like illiterate as far as the media is concerned.outside a script or lyrics page, they are complete morons

Ayesha said...

Linda, you will not like my comment but it serves you right.

You always want people to praise you after buying cars, so why bitch Susan Peters for her phone. That is what she wants to do with her money. OK!

I don't like how your sister got into this and it is a lesson for her too. You did not show us what your sister's tweet was all about.

Your explanation is 0 and you lost hands down. You probably wrote all that hype while you were angry. You now want your hundreds of readers to attack Susan Peters for you.

Good luck with you and your blog but you cannot play a celebrity and report news the way you do properly.

Frank Diah said...

But Linda, I see nothing wrong in your apologies, wars will not be if we all learn to give peace a chance. It is left for Peters to accept and retract her insults. Wish Peters well, most of us are sick, depressed, so we need expect helps, so do so now, to avoid big time shame.

Hi linda, I'm a fan of your blog and don't worry, I aint offended coz as much as we chat rubbish on this blog its all in good spirit and as a joke or whatever, at least that's me. As much as I think you shouldn't have responded to the uncouth beast susan peters, that has been done and I see your reason behind it, you were trying to be the bigger man and just end her obvious tears and frustration. You could have come down to her level and even responded to her calling you a failed model/human being! (Who does that!) And what's annoying is you didn't even write anything bad about her! She said you are using her name to shine! Who IS she? Not even being a bitch but I swear I've never heard of this woman before. Linda the apology has happened, its fine... Let's just move on and please stop making this woman popular.

There was nothing malicious in your comment.If u are a professional Journalism, u should always stand by ur words and not kiss ass by apologizing for doing a good job.To Susan Peters please grow up.To think u were made a UN ambassador of peace when clearly u don not understand the word peace from all ur ranting on twitter.What are u really teaching the Nigerian youths, to be abusive to people that make good comments about them or to take every little bit of thing said about u personal by spreading it on twitter.Why would u use the word useless, nobody is useless in dis world, we all have our usefulness.Linda keep ur head high and no editing my comments please. Job well done.

Linda Ikeji, I am disappointed in you...Was your post untrue?...hell No, so why should you apologise...that means you prefer to massage the ego of one brainless non existent actress instead of giving us the best of scoops...U fall our hand...ta lo mori,omo alata...using her name to shine?I havent heard of her before...

U said nuttin hateful bout her so i dont see any reason for d apology.Jus shows dat Susan has got some serious beef wit u nd she got d avenue to vent her jealousy cos her rantings r uncalled for.

Linda, you should never apologize to anyone. you are a blogger and doing your job, if she cant take the heat she needs to get out of the kitchen. i read the article and compared to the stories you have posted about other people, this is a non issue in my opinion. i am quite surprised by the way she reacted though, it seems Susan Peters was spoiling for a fight with you all along. Personally, i think she is jealous of you though.

Linda! I have never commented on your blog and I'm a daily reader. But for the first time, I am forced to comment! I am totally disappointed in you. You owe her no freaking apology..your apology just shows two things, you are a coward and an ass kisser! I dnt mean you are, but that's what your apology to that irrelevant thing depicts.

Na wa o. This babe is really razz.If she had received glowing reviews she would not have given Linda any credit. Now thatshe has heard a awful truth she wants to burst her gut.

Even if LIB readers wanted to retaliate we can't even say we would boycott your movies.......you don't have any really.

Who are you, sef? How are you getting all these things?. Anyway, sooner than later, it'll all come to light.

Sorry, Linda but your apology was unnecessary and a bit of an ass kiss. This Susan girl is low class.

u should not have apologized...she is a public personality..so her posing for a picture displaying her BB ain't supposed to be a secret..if it hadn't been leaked thru ur blog...it would have been somewhere else online...So u owe no one any apologies please...unless its 'essentially' necessary....

Anonymous said...

Linda, apologizing to Susan came to you naturally because it's in your nature. You didn't think about it before bringing it out which is good but professionally, it was wrong. You did your job by putting out the picture; you don't have control over how your readers interprete the picture. The only control you had was publishing the comments (which you are obligated to anyway). Unfortunately, this is where Susan's anger lies. Before sending a DM to her you should have known she would make it public because her rants on twitter were not sent to you via DM. I can only imagine the number of people you will have to apologize to as you publish your stories because I am certain you have many more coming. And please Susan, you are a public figure so learn to make NOTHING of what you read about yourself because plenty dey come and how many of them you wan insult finish on twitter?

Susan Peters is supposed to be a role model, such things should only be ranted in your bedroom not in public. She fell my hand, personally. I read the article that day and what you said did not warrant any insults, I do not know why her blood was getting hot unnecessarily. If you do something bad to someone, yea of course apologise but i just believe that this issue was blown WAYYYYY OUT of proportion. Peace and love xxxx

Am sorry to say,you insulted the sensibilities of your readers. You went too far with your apologies by saying "sorry about all the comments,people will always talk"..I quite agree that you have all the rights in the whole world to apologise,as a blog isn't anything close to professional journalism.But in apologising,you absolved yourself of any blame and lay everything at the door step of readers.Who posted the article in the first place? It is even good that Susan posted the DM for everyone to see because it goes to show the disregard you have for your esteemed readers including me...

Quasimodo said...

The Apology was definitely not necessary. You put up her picture with the Porsche with no malicious intent whatsoever. You were right to publish comments from your readers as well.

Her rants on twitter was definitely not warranted. She insulted you and your family as well.

So you apologizing to her wasn't wrong in any way, you just showed you're the bigger person and didn't even allow her comments rile you one bit.

You've earned my eternal respect. Your readers could only be angry wiv you when you show bias and don't publish their comments

wasnt wrong to apologise and whether you apologise or not isn't the issue, the truth is you sef need to chill, why put up her picture in the first place, cos you want people flocking your blog doesn't mean you should put any rubbish thing there, I'm beginning to loose the vibe of coming to your blog sef, several rubbish story here.

1. Honestly Linda, some of us would never have known who Susan Peters is if not because of you.
2.I still dont know who she is but I assumed she must matter for you to talk about her on your blog.
3.Now I knwo she doesnt matter cos all I can say about her is that she is a very local and unpolished wannabe celebrity otherwise there wouldnt be all this drama about her buying a blackberry porshe. Never heard any drama about real celebrities buying expensive stuff. They never even have pay any attention to comments about their luxury acquisitions.
4. Lesson Learnt Linda: Never talk about wannabes on your blog cos this is what you ll get. In summary, dont give any low life cheap fame buy celeberating them ok.

My thought after reading the headline was; why apologise in the first place, do gossip bloggers ever do, they only care about gossips, gossips and more gossips to feed their hungry readers - that's all they care about, even when people are bruised, they don't care, so far their sites' google analytics is encouraging and monthly adsense is making sense.
All these ran through ma head before - and during - clicking the article (I hope I'm right though, thoughts can run be pretty fast). Then I began to read the article in full, to the point where one self-acclaimed professional journalist started spewing thrash (at least to me anyways) saying all the nonsensical stuffs about not writing apologies, then this got me on the edge:

"As a parting shot, Linda Ikeji should take a clue from Yahoo! News and other reputable media houses that has never for once apologised for their publications simply because of the bruised ego of some affected persons."

This is the height of it; do people think they have right to your life using the pen or typing trash on the computer simply to get paid; money is driving us crazy in this world that we can do anything to get it - even while destroying people's lives in the process. Dear Mr Journalist, stop saying rubbish (with big words, I must admit), everyone has a right to privacy, including stars. Don't find pleasure slandering people in the name of journalism and making money. Everyone makes mistakes, and none like to see it revealed to millions of people in the name of 'gossip'.

Then the last part, the Susan Peter's rant: I must admit, I haven't heard her name (or even seen her, either on TV or as a person, ​=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º‎​=))) except on this blog, so to say you gave her a little bit of publicity is an understatement. She went too far I believe, going as far as labelling you a 'failure', who does she think she is? Everyone has a line of business; hers is acting, and yours is blogging, nothing is wrong wiv that, why would she be saying 'blogging is all you have'? She should have dabbed her hand into it to know the level of hard work it entails (ask new bloggers, they'll you how frustrating it can be). Yorubas will say 'we fight to reconcile', she can't just revert everything she said after your 'apology' can she? At least you didn't say anything bad about her, you just posted the pic and it generated comments; that's not at all your fault.

As an advice linda,
1) If she made the pic open source herself, not that you 'stole' it from her phone or through any other crooked means; no need for apology. She made it available to the media and she should accept anything that comes from it; it comes with the territory.
2) But if you got it from unconventional sources -without her permission - then you have to but not the way you went about it. That is cowardice I think, don't send her DM; use your blog to tender the apology (at least it was your blog that the first article was in the first place). It's like fighting and insulting someone in public and going behind the scene to apologise; it's a sign of cowardice in ma opinion.

These are my thoughts anyways; I'm entitled to it, let no one castigate me for it

I hope this get published; this is the second time I'll be typing this. Linda! Lindaa!! Lindaaaa!!! How many times did I call you? You better publish this or else...

Bt gotta say dat she really yab u o Linda, pele. Bt u fit b like Jesus Christ now, u fit offer ur 2nd cheek for anoda badt strike. Abeeg we want more jare.

I wish I knew who you were.your comment makes a lot of sense.everyone is on the blogging grind; with absolutely nothing to blog on/about.she needs to stop intruding on peoples affairs or better still finish uni;go for masters nd get a real job.Ur disgusting linda ikeja!

Justme said...

some advice Linda, you CANNOT be everybody's friend. I am dissappointed at your apology. Your post about her wasnt even offensive. To think you would go behind your readers and apologise seems like hypocrisy and a stab in the back of your readers. If you have to apologise in the future it should NEVER be "in private". I hope you have learnt from this. You need to be professional about your business. I hope this doesnt happen again. As for the lady in question, I dont know her and after all this I wont waste any attention on her.

Abeg Linda u were wrong, for wat now?? U shouldn't have abeg. Dt old hag with skin dt I can't describe, cos she bought phone she's feeling like a star. Her younger ones are doin better things with their money she's buying blackberry, Well sha it's not her fault *omo oju o ro lari* mstcheeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww.

Stanley London said...

To finalize what i wrote before..Linda you are like a journalist,Susan Peters is wack and will always be..go to IrokoTv and check her out she don't even have more than 10 movies on her credit..she can't boast of £40,000 on her bank account and she call herself a celeb #wack,We all know how much Genevive earns talk more of her that haven't got a name.maybe that BB is not hers who knows...Linda your apology showed how matured and great you are but don't do that again they will think you are weak and take you for granted..Big ups Lin God bless

And Linda u must post dt my comment oh....

I thought publishing her photo with the phone was an honest publication and not meant to malign her in any way. However, apologizing to her privately was wrong for two reasons: firstly, you did not wrong her, after all being an actress makes her a public figure and she should expect to see herself in the news every now and then. Secondly, your private apology amounts to betrayal to those readers who commented publicly on the publication. Having said this, You have behaved maturely by seeking your readers opinion on this issue and promising not to go down this route in future. No malice No apologies Linda.

You apologised and now set her up for another round of slagging with this post. Doesnt make much sense to me. You didnt apologise cos 'you wanted to make her feel better', you did cos she threw a scare into you. That's the fact. Like a comment on your Facebook said,you 'threw your readers under a bus' with that DM you sent her.
I dont know if you are wrong or right with that apology stuff,whatever makes you sleep well at night is ok by me. I'm still a huge fan of yours and i pray it continues to be well with you cos i've seen your good side and i'm happy with it.
Still on the issue of apology,when is KSB,Annie,Munachi,Dencia,Nicole,Sarah Ofili, Earth queen, Debby Ogunjobi and all the gboegboe who has been slaughtered on this blog getting theirs'? Do you see now why you shouldn't have apologised?

JennyO said...

OMG, It was mature, very mature of u to bring her down by saying sorry. I love u so much LI, u are hardworking. Doesn't Susan Peters think its a failure posing and posting with a phone? who does that anyway? village champion like her. some of her family members have nt eaten n she comes posing with a phone that could feed her hungry cousins. u did well sha. see her face sef... mcheeeeew. she is just what she rants abt. foolish Susan Peters, she is so infamous nowadays. go geta life ms Peters.

You've made a big fool of yourself with your actions towards Linda Linda Ifeoma
Ikeji. You are one of the reasons why stella Damasus said some actresses are hiding behind the mask.. Shame on you Susan..If you acquire your things in a clean way it won't pain you if someone questions you about it. Because you acquired it in a dirty way that is why you don't want anyone to remind you the pains you went through before getting them .Miss blackberry Porche.

Linda you have showed that you are a double egde sword.. You made a fool of yourself apologising to this asawo lagos. I will never comment in your blog again. If you go behind your readers and butt lick this idoits.

As a blogger owner or journalist you should never apologize for putting up an article except when it is later found out to be false.
If you have the guts to put it up,then u should be ready to damn the consequences and not mind the feelings you've hurt.
Apologizing makes it look like its a personal vendetta ,which is not.

jennietobbie said...

Linda, I'm down for an apology anytime anywhere. It's surreal and peaceful...BUT that was an unnecessary apology to Susan!

I am a Bella Naija fan and people rant and diss like crazy over there (Naija trait??= get used to this if you're one), yet they've never apologized for those comments. PROFESSIONALS.

You did ABOSLUTELY nothing wrong by posting that picture on your blog. You didn't diss her, you didn't "wash wash" her...NOTHING!! Your readers are from diverse backgrouds--you CANNOT tell us what to say or how to react on your blog. Nope, darling.

And Susan had the audacity to diss us AND disrespect you? Class much? I DEMAND an apology and you go get some coz she was VERY RUDE to you!!!

It's good to be kind and sensitive to other people's feelings, but DON'T play Jesus all the time.

<btw* Susan, if you are reading this, apologize to Linda. You really hurt her feelings)

N.B....Linda, POST MY COMMENT O!!! I'M SERIOUS!! DONT CENSORE THIS COMMENT lol.

Muahh, love you always!

Linda u messed up big time ... U have ridiculed d very essence of journalism ... This will definitely have a negative effect on your career and your personality . There is absolutely nothing wrong with d Peter's post , your apology to her shows how weak u are . I used to be an hardened fan of ur blog but for ds singular act I'm gonna detest from reading ur blog because ds is a shear insult to all ur blog readers. And for the low life Susan Peter , I reserve ma comment ... # BRAVO #

Biko its just like saying yipee susan acquired a car (just like Jim iyke and the rest) But the only diff in this case is that pple dont see Susan as one who has fame so should not be able to afford such shikena. If na genny the ring will be split into two or 3/4 so biko DUTCHESS OFF IDOMA, UN PEACE NKE NWANU nnolu odu na ochie di oku.

Linda, you should never apologise over stupid issues like this when in fact the Actress was seeking publicity.Holding a phone like that and smiling to the camera is a fix, engineered by the Actress. Where does she thinks the photo would end, In the toilet?,off course not. This a a ploy and tactics used in the UK and US to gain publicity. Foolishly, she does not know how to play it well. The picture is too direct and this makes her look very vain. Susan or whatever your name is, please shut up and enjoy the five minutes fame Linda has blessed you with. In the future get a good PR company to train you on how to do a good PR spin, period.
