Not only that, she actually wore an off-the-rack wedding dress by Claire Pettibon worth a few hundred dollars on her wedding day. You two spend money, dammit! Lol
What happened to diamonds? You know some of these men can be unreliable. One day now he'll wake up from sleep, turn towards you and say 'I want a divorce'...and all you get is a wedding ring that you will be lucky to sell off at a pawn shop? *Hiss*
Meanwhile, I heard that Mrs Zuckerberg has no claim to one kobo of Mark's $20b. He married her just one day after he raked in $20 billion after taking Facebook public. Under California Law if one person builds a business and sells it immediately before being married the spouse has no legal claim to the proceeds of the sale. Priscilla as Mark's wife now has 50% interest in any proceeds earned from the growth of Facebook since they got married last week Saturday May 19th. And Facebook's stock is not doing very well now! *sigh*
Girl, get him to buy you better ring, and a mansion (consult Kobe Bryant's wife). Make hay while the sun shines...lol.
and off course this post is written cos you are expecting some kind of reaction from your commenters abi? iranu!
ReplyDeleteHehehehehhehehhe Linda ooooooooh lwtmb.50k na big moni nw.loll

ReplyDeletethats why he didnt marry a naija babe.
ReplyDeletelol, abi. Naija babes this advise na why many of una don pass una prime and no husband. The size of the rock or the embroidery on the dress no matter at all... Just love
Deletechai, see as linda de advice her.
ReplyDeleteLinda,shame on you for having a ruthless and materialistic view on life!!!These polished and educated women have self esteem and know that such things as Diamonds and Pearls don't make you.Did you know she was a qualified Paediatrician with interests in Robotics????Now that's a real woman!!
ReplyDeleteI love d ring u can tell that they're not in to worldly things u let ur love speaking for u it is not bigger ring greater d love
ReplyDeleteYou are teaching women to be gold diggers.Money is either spent,wasted or invested,guys be wise invest your money to be yielding returns forever,don't spend or waste it on any woman.Zukerberg is a wise guy,if priscillia loves him her eyes won't be on his money after all love is blind
ReplyDeleteNa wa for you o Linda! They are simple people and its evident that they are not interested in material things.
ReplyDeletelinda. you get so high on your own supply sometimes that you just freak me out. small time you will be crying that some one don't consider you to be a role model.
ReplyDeleterode model with this sort of trash talk? role model my ass.
so mark has to spend $1billion= successful marriage? the ring makes the bride?. the marriage is less that 2 weeks and you are already helping the woman think of what is in it for her? do you have any values atall?
OMG! I am in stitches right now. Linda, you no well. Bad ass sense of humour. Gold digger oshi, lolz.
ReplyDeleteThe babe no sabi money ni jo, see as she dey close eye waka for road.lmao
sit back and critically analyse lindas post.
ReplyDeleteVanity ! The ring is simple and nice,because he's rich doesn't mean he shld be lavish, he's a young man, he has his life ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteThey are not materialistic like you!
ReplyDeleteLinda i don't agree with this one oo. are u indirectly wishing or anticipating they will divorce? apparently, d lady looks simple and i'm sure its wat she wants. moreover diamond rings and designer wedding dress doesnt guarantee good marriage. d most important thing is dat they are happy. i know u dey find our mouth. lol
ReplyDeletelinda i love u to death,.,.but u sound really stupid, immature and highly materialistic!did it ever occur to u dat she married dis guy because she genuinely loves him and not because of material things!typical nja girl mentality,.,.even though experts say the ring is worth 50 thousand dollars,.,.to u since it doesnt look it,isnt a diamond, and u cant show off to ur friends proudly and oppress them,.,it doesnt count!reminds me of one yeye gurl i went to uni with. the only designer she will buy is one that has d logo plastered blatantly on the front,.,BIG AND BOLD!if not she wont buy,.,.u just lost some cool points wimme lin!
ReplyDeleteif u like no post this,.,.thunder go fire ur yansh!lol!i still love u!
Gold digger she is not as poor as you think she is and would not want to be as rich as you want her to be.
ReplyDeletelol... na true love no bi Naija mentality
ReplyDeleteThese are people with real class, not money miss roads like you and some others. That's why the statement there's beauty in simplicity is a very heavy statement. Contrast that to your Kimmy Cakes and her rock. After 72 days the wedding went kaput. Khloe has a rock though and she's sensible so i hope her marriage lasts.
ReplyDeleteLinda stop being dense. Everybody has preferences, bcos many have nots chose to wear their entire bank accounts on their bodies doesnt mean its a wide rule. The couple got what they want, mind ur biz and move on.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone wants diamonds, some people have a preference for other stones. Then again many pple dont even know there are other genuine precious stones.
The guy has what is called "modesty"... a lot of celebs lack it!
ReplyDeleteMoney isn't evrytin Linda...Mark designed dat ring and it must be very special to him.
ReplyDeletemere looking at her u will see simplicity.
ReplyDeleteshe may not even be particular abt d cash but the fame...
Me i no go dull if dis type enter my hand o..lol
And linda has started again this morning!!! You call $50 thousand dollars cheap.....my comments are seriozly reserved!!!
ReplyDeleteNow Linda, this is a big shame........most everything be about money......haba.........im rily disappointed......everybody is not a Nigerian like you who is so flashy and like expensive things....looks at mark's bio.......he loves simple things....and u still encouraged divorce.....smh......may they not divorce you
ReplyDeleteThey are just simple people that don't need all the fuss and there is nothing wrong with that at all.
ReplyDeleteYou see why some people choose not to get married when they are successful? Because of people with your mentality Linda.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many women with huge diamond wedding rings but can't claim their husbands because they are busy f*cking other men and women. Kobe Bryant's wife isn't happy because her man is busy acting like a dog.
By the way, Mark's wife is a medical doctor and so she is good. She's not in Nigeria where there are no jobs and greedy med and law graduates go into politics, armed robbery and prostitution. She's not like the typical Nigerian woman who will choose a career in being a slave to her rich bf / husband.
They've being together before he became well known. Unlike tuface who got a little money and started injecting his toti everywhere and making Annie look like a fool, mark has done a great job marrying his longtime gf at such a young age.
The respect is much more important than the ring or extra material things. You don't know if his wife chose not to have
Linda, pls vanity upon vanity!!!....she's a medical doctor, went to Harvard, so i'll "assume" she comes from a well off family and has a profession to fall back on...me i don't mind a small wedding as long as he's not stingy o! i can't marry a stingy rich man!!! lol...and everyone has different personalities...if she no want, she wld have left long time ago. As for the ring, as long as she likes it, that's all that matters! bottom line - to each his/her own!!! FYI - a good man lives and inheritance for his children's children. Prov 13:22...if he can live an inheritance for his great great great (times 100) grand children and until the world comes to an end, then kudos to him :-)
ReplyDeleteRemember he worked hard for his money, just think about your own pocket sef...e no easy! lol...as opposed to our dear politicians that make money appear from no where with no hard work, of course it'll be easy to spend it any how...if they can at least invest the money in naija and help our economy and youths rather than embezzle and keep in a swiss bank and forget some of the bank accounts their money was in sef, sometimes the banks even freeze the money - that one dey vex me pass sef...anywaz now i'm blabbing and switching gear to another topic...you get my drift sha...
Z
Linda that na why Mark Zuckerberg no fit marry naija babe wey dey pnly eye eim money
ReplyDeleteThat ring actually cost $25,000 Linda. How many of your readers have a $25k ring?? And i am sure the lady is more than happy to be married to the love of her life as opposed to wondering why he didnt buy her a $1m ring! #dontbesomaterialistic!
ReplyDeleteIts called simplicity linda. Marriage ia all about love and not how expensive the wedding ring is.
ReplyDeleteand her dress cost $4700 NOT a "few hundred" ah ah!
ReplyDeletehow much did she contribute in making mark a billionaire to deserve all these things you listed out?thank God in some places, love dsnt look at the material things you get in return...if only na naija chics dey everywhre ehn...so N7.7m ring never do u?anyway sha,make she no take am make she see how many gals dey for queue js to answer zuckerberg as last name.
ReplyDeleteYou views on this matter are exactly what's wrong with the world today( and i'm a female, cos ur voltrons will soon label me a male).
ReplyDeleteJeez Linda....u re making me sick. Doesn't she luk simple to u? Or hasn't it occured to u dåt she chose d "cheap" wedding gown nd wedding ring herself??? She probably opted for å simple ceremony too s d earlier u accepted simple people exist d bwta for u.....hisssssssssss
ReplyDeleteThe guy reasons like main market onitsha traders. Very stingy and always racking sense moneywise. They can gladly buy you a plate of food woth 1million dollars(to die a glutton), but can't buy u any reasonable thing with that amouunt or give it to you......mtschew ##enoughsaid
ReplyDeleteLin I love you but you sound like a poor sod. Don't wanna believe you're that way though
ReplyDeleteLinda seriously???? U think every one is as materialistic as u are? Is it not pple dat r spendin millions of naira on weddin gowns n rings dat r divorcin up n down? Nooooo,I don't expect this from u @ all. So wot if her ring n gown r cheap accordin 2 u? Does it affect d quality of their love? Does it reduce it or cheapen it? Do u knw if it was d wife dat did not want a 'society' weddin and all d fuss attached to it? Maybe she doesn't give a f***k about all of it! Lastly,hw much did kim k spend on her facade of a wedding,and where is it now? Pls o,u had beta rid urself of dat mentality sharp sharp! D cost of ur wedding does not determine its durability!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAH! LINDA,U WONT KILL ME WIT LAFTA. SEE SMART ASS DUDE. LMAO!
ReplyDeletelinda you wouldn understand, their love is not materialistic,she knows he loves her, therefore he doesnt need to buy her something costly to prove it. i actually like this. its romantic and simple. I wouldnt mind if my man was as romantic. I dont do the whole big diamond crap, i just want my man to appreciate me. Am not a gold digger, cuz if i have his respect and heart, no amount of jewerly will equate to how he feels or i.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, prob won't be my style but I don't blame Mark for doing so. There are lots of gold diggers and people out there that don't like the fact he is that rich. So for me I support you Mark, learn from Tiger Woods and the rest, woman are just d weakest link to be used....they all Eve's Delilahs n Jezebels. Well not all of em. For dust we come and dust we shall return...hehehehe
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with having a simple wedding. Clearly he has nothing to prove to you closed minded people. You can tell they are very simple and don't care about showing off. You are from two diff worlds Linda. You live in Nigeria where physical appearance is everything. Where drivers want to look like their bosses' colleagues.
ReplyDeleteWhere people throw big weddings for their friends and enemies. People throw fancy weddings to show off only to end up not having marriages because their husbands don't give a fuck about them. Big wedding; no marriage. Your mentality is fucked up though.
well you should know that software guys are not celebs. they are a different specie of human beings. no matter how rich they get, they still kinda have that very simple and geeky lifestyle. check bill gates out, is he much different from zuckerberg. or check out the google owners. they are all the same. programmers are not celebs.
ReplyDeleteNigerian women are just too greedy and materialistic... What ever happened to simplicity... Why must women always judge other women... Argh... please... Leave them alone, what ever they choose to do or not do is their business...
ReplyDeleteLinda I don't agree wit u. This reasoning is wrong.
ReplyDeleteLinda I don't want to believe dat ur such a vain person,so love is now abt how much d person spends on u.they shld spend millions on gown dat she ll wear one day and forget or buy millions of dollars worth ring.SMh at u.
ReplyDeleteBtw m a woman.
na wa for you linda? u no even wan consider say na the wife say she want the ring like that? anyways if to say na me, i go dey receive daily lessons from kobe bryant's ex sharp sharp no tory
ReplyDeleteLINDA IKEJI na my #GODDEYSCOPEYOU, ina knw say the babe na Chinese Ode
ReplyDeleteActually Linda, most times it's the wife who asks for the divorce. Get your facts straight. Furthermore, it's all about being prudent. Go and ask Warren Buffet and he'll tell you. Just because you have all the money in the world doesn't mean you should spend it anyhow. Also, Kobe Bryant didn't buy a mansion for his wife. She decided to divorce him and the court gave her $75m and 3 mansions from Bryant. So, it can not be overemphasized that women are gold diggers. How does it feel to be generalized? Nonsense
ReplyDeleteThey are just been sensible. what's the point in throwing a big wedding party and buying her a wedding ring that can feed a whole nation if sold? I think they are just very simple people. You'll see that the wedding will even last longer that the usual extravagant ones we see everywhere(Kim K. is the queen bitch on the list).
ReplyDeleteMay they both be happy sha.
No b everybody be like ur I beta pass ma neighbour owanbeic Nigerians. White people like it subtle.
ReplyDeleteAunty Linda, leave them alone o!!! All women are not the same maybe that is why he married her. The women that have won rocks on their finger as engagement ring where is their marriage today? Down the drain!!! Wish them all the best!!!
ReplyDeletechange ur mind set linda
ReplyDeleteyou like money too much.that na all of una problem.she dey complain?she come tell you say she want big ring.you dey swallow panadol untop person problem.stay there.she get husband and degree and somebody wey love and respect her.big wedding no mean say the mrriage go sweet.
ReplyDeleteShe just graduated from med skul. She doesn't need his cash to make it in life..and he knows it. Which is why I always urge females to work hard for their own. If a guy knows u don't rely on him for squat he'll respect u and will want to keep u. Ladies pls nothing is as important as financial independece
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
DeleteWaoh Linda, are you so materialistic?
ReplyDeletelindaaaaa!!!...hmm u no go mind ur ow bizness???
ReplyDeleteLinda Linda Linda! Abeg leave them to enjoy their lives the way they want. Do you think its only when you show your wealth in material possessions to the world that makes you stand out?
ReplyDeleteWe are already aware the guy is damn rich but decides to do things moderately, i admire him and thank God for an understanding wife too.
Its his choice how he live his life, he has made an impact and has touched n blessed lives.
Moderation is the KEY- God bless u n ur wife Mark
ME
Linda im actually quiet disappointed in ur view on the matter. as long as the wife is happy with the ring whats ur own? you're now calling the poor guy broke
ReplyDeletethey have been dating since they were in havard and if u know anything about mark you will know money dosent shak him as he refused to sell facebook many times, even when microsoft flew him in a private jet to their offices.
views on money and wealth like this is why Nigeria is so corrupt and people will be looting public funds to buy their girlfriends diamond ring.
please lets try and inspire change in societal views!
Madam Linda, there's more to life than superficial stuff. Believe it or not, some people live the simple life despite immense wealth. Mark Z obviously keeps it simple and lowkey. Plus his wife doesn't think like you. Or she would have been all over the news as Mark Zs girlfriend. They dated for a long time! Its not about being stingy or anything. And 50k dollars is not cheap. Please. Look beyond the superficial. Better a 50k ring and love + happiness + a lifetime together than a 2million dollar ring + a 72day marriage a la Kim K.
ReplyDeleteCheap or not, it has a sentimental meaning to it! We should not judge them! He gave it to her as a sign of his love and LOVE DOESN'T HAVE A PRICE!!!! Society and their wicked beliefs that rich people need to always prove their worth by broadcasting expensive things!!!
ReplyDelete50,000 dolars = over 8million naira!!! if he spent 1million dollars naw people would say is it not just a ring, he could have spent that money on poor people.Besides looking at past pictures they have zero fashion sense or anything. they are VERY simple.Marriage goes way beyond the ring and wedding. Kim kardashian and Kris humphries spent how much on their wedding and ring ehmm where are they now? They are oviously in love and are not doing things for 'what people will say' Let them be.
ReplyDeleteLinda dat iz y u n many naija girls will b miserable in marriage. U r so materialistic its ridiculous. Instead of u n d oda ebinna naija girls try to get dere own money n love a guy regardless of weda he has billions or zilch, u dey dere dey help a gud specimen of eve contemplate wot to claim wen she divorces! Work hard girl, no be only mark fit be billionaire. I'm a woman and u and I get chance ok?d ring is least of things to worry about wen 2 ppl marry.
ReplyDeleteHe's not cheat. It's a ruby ring which makes it very expansive. That ring is said to be estimated b/w $25,000 -$50,000. Both of them are very simple, the wife is obviously not complaining so I that think anyone else should. The ring's size isn't the most important thing in a marriage, the commitment is. We focus on the price & size of the ring much these days, we end up marrying the wrong people.
ReplyDeleteKobe Bryant ke? This Linda you are mad. Did you not hear that Kobes wife is divorcing him over his repeated cheating? Why are you encouraging people to be materialistic? The reason why he married her and not you is simply because of your views. Grow up and get married Linda.
ReplyDeleteLMAO, Linda is taking it P
ReplyDeleteLinda u too like beta tins lolz, i like it tho but like Google says “dnt believe everytin u read on de internet” $50k is cool for A̶̲̥̅̊ ring, abeg u Linda no know how much dats worth in #?? I dnt no abt de weddin gown but she looks happy tho... Speakin of makin hay while de sun shines, u no wada na de woman force am make him marry her? If na she, does she really hav any opinion dan to face anytin she see? Lolz dis world is so interestin...
ReplyDeleteSharon...
Linda this is so unlike yu oo,,I really dnt like ur tone here!!
ReplyDeleteHian do yu knw if the lady is just a simple being and likes to keep her things on a low profile??
It mustn't be abt all the monetary things she can get form him oo,marriage is all abt love and respect and I think it shld remain dt way..
So ur indirectly saying they wldnt last long in their marriage and she shld try to score sum nets before they break up??
Na wa oo,gv em a break to live dia lifes biko!!!!
Lol linda u just sound like a long throat. Not everyones life is all bout cash n showoff. Simplicity is life. Just do wot makes u happy
ReplyDeleteBecause $50000 is cheap ba? Go and buy a more expensive ring for her. Just because he has money doesn't mean he should spend it unnecessarily. That's N7.9m there. And God, Linda. The wife requests for a divorce 80% of the time
ReplyDeleteHmmm Leanda, this kind of advice (unsolicited) e get as e be o. Abi marriage don turn to investment ni? What happened to love, companionship, and being happy just by being with the one you love? And from all indications, you are already prophesying the doom of their union. This lady is a medical Doctor, so it's safe to assume she was very much aware of all this. Also, you'd be amazed that she's actually the one who didn't want an 'out of this world' wedding, with custom made wedding dress and all the excess baggage that come with it. Biko, let's have a lil more faith in marriages.
ReplyDeleteWith comments like linda's, little wonder why marriage in Nigeria is dissolving at an alarming rate.
ReplyDeleteHungry Nigerian Girls equating the worth of a ring to that of marital bliss.
What if he bought her a billion dollar ring and she ends up being unhappy?
What about that
Kai!linda ikeji!!!u ehhhh.lol
ReplyDeleteThat's why we can never understand whites"..it's obvious she married simply for love
ReplyDeleteLinda, guess its the humorous part of you talking tho, but don't be too "materialistic".. the lady isn't complaining, is she? Lets do away with this Nigerian attitude of flamboyance, ostentation and excessive showing-off. I just admire the couple's simplicity and modesty..its legendary, in my opinion. Ride on Mr and Mrs Zuckerberg.
ReplyDeleteKobe bryants wife is an igbo woman, she had better learn ooo, cos she gats to hammer.
ReplyDeleteand it concerns you abi? aporoko! so the marriage must end in divorce? better pray for them for happy union till death do them part. at least the girl no complain to you or abi she did?
ReplyDeleteSaying things like this Linda is exactly why some guys believe all naija girls r materialistic! Which obviously is not true! Meanwhile have u considered that it might actually be d girl's idea to keep everything simple not everyone is into d blings and blitz regardless of how rich they r. And if her husband knows she will appreciate a nice and understated ring like this one over some really big rock ofcourse that is what he will get her. That's just my opinion sha.
ReplyDeleteNot true Madam.. where did u get your gist from??
ReplyDeleteRead this:
http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/priscilla-chans-ruby-ring-193400700.html
Dear Linda, adewaleadegboye68@yahoo.com sent u a mail. Pls in God's name do reply. Thank u
ReplyDeleteDear @Adewale, i advice u seek help elsewhere. It was way back in 2008/2009 that Linda used to communicate with us like she knows us personally. Noww she's touching money n claiming big girl, she will never reply u.
Deleteaunty Linnn...da!!!,leave the girl hand o!she her sef is credited to be a genius,only in what?i don't know yet,some peepz still marry for love o!lol....NK.
ReplyDeleteThere are people that marry for love and not for money....all the celebrities that buy diamond rings worth millions of dollars, pls tell me how many of them last. They are in a genuine relationship and care less about material things like you. She didn't complain so what's your biz? Ruby worths more than diamonds FYI....I'll rather be with him than be in a r/ship that will last few days and btw she is a genius and can be 100% successful without him.
ReplyDeleteLinda..u neva hera. please update us: i had always known it…God no dey lie, and who he has blessed, no man/spirit can cause..P SQUARE BECOMES NIGERIA’S WEALTHIEST ENTERTAINERS…JUST PURCHASED THEIR PRIVATE JET..GOD BLESS UNA!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's what is called SIMPLICITY. There are much better things to spend money on. Mark aint materialistic neither is his wife, and with such a Union, they will go really far.
ReplyDeleteCongrats once again *bites kolanut*
@willadebo
Ehen....and so. yels....shows how humble they are not to tie their love to material things...just simple and basic...shikena....what makes u think the lady does not have her source of funds...
ReplyDeleteSome people will never make $50,000 dollars in a year. This babanla Linda is doing the most with her 'educated opinion'. Oponu ambassador.
DeleteU c why u never marry.....sleeping with men up now down till he can provide 4 u...what good comes out of a wedding when u r alrdy thinking of what will/will not be urs
ReplyDeleteas a true naijababe, let me say this if she had gotten the dress fitted in the first place it would not look like that. Also coming from California, she will get more than people think any money he earns moving forward is part hers. Clearly Mark is smitten with her, he even endorses one of her pet projects.I know this because I know Mark's sister nice one Linda.
ReplyDeleteEwo!!!!!!Aunty Linda, have you considered the fact that Priscilla might have wanted a Ruby as the gemstone for her wedding ring? Also, have you forgotten that Mark and Priscilla are not celebs so to speak, Mark is an IT guy, a nerd/geek as you guys might like to call it, and remember that core IT people are not always the most sociable lot, meaning they prefer to have close circles rather than a large circle of friends filled with superficiality. It should therefore come as no surprise to you that they had a small, cozy wedding filled with people who truly know, and love them, and wish them the very best, rather than a super duper large wedding in which you don't have a personal relationship with over three-quarters of the guests in attendance .
ReplyDeleteBest comment so far.
DeleteMiss Linda, shut the fuck up, you have no idea about their personal lives and if that is what they wanted together, you are now creating a platform for bitter, pot-bellied ladies to come and complain about something that does not concern them....rubbish! when you get a man let us see how much your own ring will cost....*spits*
ReplyDeleteThis is the Way of TRUE BILLONAIRES
ReplyDeleteLinda,not everybody cares abt d money dat much,i guess she jst wanted a simple wedding.
ReplyDeleteLinda. It's okay....okay?
ReplyDeleteLinda I usually don't comment on here.
ReplyDeleteLater when they say you set bad examples you'll start taking it personal. There is more to life and you shouldn't be encouraging such, it's way too shallow.
She's not encouraging anything, it's a blog
DeleteOh rily,u r truly linda's enemy,instead of u 2 tell her d truth,u r sayin its jst a blog.we knw ur type,beta change ur mentality b4 it gets too late 4 u,mschewww
Deletelinda , get ur facts right.priscilla is not even entitled to d 50% until after 10yrs.dats wat california law says.dats wat kobe's wife waited for,just like her mother did to her father(vanessa's mum dat is). and did u hear dey faked d shit cos of taxes..dey were stil togeda for val.
ReplyDeletethese 2 have been together for 8 years. You think she is like our dear own naija babes??? This is true love personified. She was there when the boy was a cockroach in Harvard and always been his support. I guess this is why Mark decided to make it simple. Bad people would have been giving her ideas now.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but when does becoming rich lossing your belief? Just because his rich doesn't mean him and his wife can't choose to have a simple life. So what if the ring is cheap. Na our business? No because its their life let them buy whatever they want. Kmt
ReplyDeleteAnd Linda you complain when men "Use and Dump" women abi.
ReplyDeleteWhats wrong with seeing him as the nerdy mark she feel for a decade ago? and whats wrong with an of the rack wedding dress and a ruby ring?
Na nwata siri ike, o bu zi ka ebokwasi ya uno n'isi? (Meaning that the child is strong doesnt mean you should put the damn house on his head)
Linda abeg, advice our girls to be like Priscilla Zuckerberg and not Kobe's Wife, or we'll soon ask her "B@#$h you ain't there when he was writing codes, were you?"
Nice one P, Linda she has my loyalty now. thot she married for money. Now am convinced she did not
clears throat! linda thnk u for dt question...
ReplyDeletei knw at this point some might begin to pull comments like he is simple. blah blah...but ME i no go gree, if he's not a fantasy spender(e.g buyin a whole city jst because he can) then i would call him simple, bt frgt this one, e too much jor...if he was ever goin to spend his money in a humble way, there cudnt have been a better opportunity than at his weddin , at least shower madam chan with some big ass rock, after all she's been with him even before hw was nyone so she deserves it, and off the rack?? phaha!! noo noo priscilla!! repeat aftr me COU-TURE!! ehen now remember that for ur anniversary.#gbam
Jehovah! Linda take am easy o, your priorities may not be hers. Haba! Shebi u don go US, you no see as big men dey wera ordinary clothes while Africans do all sorts to put labels on their backs?
ReplyDeleteSo wat? Is it d ring dat will bring faithfulness or children? After he buy diamond ring 4 her, wil dat stp her from chopping outside. Abeg linda leave dis guy alone
ReplyDeleteBia Linda na ring them go chop eh? tell me $50k ring no do u, carry style convert am to naira. Abeg liv that simple man alone, ring no be him wahala, na FB way de fall for market him wan build up.
ReplyDeleteOh my God!Linda u won't kill me with laughter.Lol.
ReplyDeleteMost whites don't make much noise about getting married. Most do it privately with a few friends and family without anything flashy. Why are you whining? Does she have to start sucking his money for people to know they're married? Kai
ReplyDeleteLINDA oooo!!! You have killed me! Have you seen 50,000 dollars before???? Or do you have up to that? Biko leave the babe alone... She's a simple girl and they are humble.. Because he's worth that much doesn't mean he has to spend millions on just a ring!! If he spent a lot you will abuse him that how can he spend that much on just a ring!!! There's no pleasong you! Na wa oo!
ReplyDeleteGod bless this guy. He is wise. Planned his strategies carefully so that she won't dupe him if she decides to get a divorce (Mind you, 52% of U.S Marriages end in divorce and 80% of the time, the wife requests for it). I can't say how much your post has gotten on my nerves. And nothing "just kidding" here. There's always some truth behind that nasty phrase
ReplyDeleteWhy must everything with naija girls be measured in money terms> Whatever happended to individual tastes!!! No wonder our girls are finding it harder to settle with this cash and prepaid mentality.
ReplyDeleteHe is a billionaire by investing in assets (intellectual, technological and other) not physically demure things like wedding rings. in fact if he decides to wed without a shoe, what is the significance? I bet if he was nigerian he would bnot even wed the girl with this kind of attitude. Shame on u linda, u just betrayed the naija girl in you.
If you naija girls are so into this material shit, get it from your father before you get married
so wetin de so special about the ring sef. is marriage today and divorce tomorow?
ReplyDeletei no no wetinn be ya own aND THE RING SEF, NA RING THEM GO CHOP. BIA BIA YOU DON MALI SEF? ABI U DE TAKE EYE DE FIND THE ONE WEI GO BUY YOU DIAMOND LING AND TOMOLO CON KILL U ABI
ReplyDeleteI hope you're joking Linda.
ReplyDeleteIt might be hard to understand, but there are many people with absolutely no interest in superficial material things.
lolzzz........madam linda don throw advice to Mrs. P. abeg they are simple and its obvious from the way the wedding ceremony was carried out. ........ IN BTW...... i am yet to see the comment i posted earlier on this particular post aunt linda.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with them, infact i admire and respect Mark the more. I think Nigerians should take a cue from them and stop indulging in silly frivolities just in a bid to make a "statement". That's all vanity, false living. we need to wake up and start living our lives, not people's expectations for us.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up to the Zuckerbergs, true love rules. I wish them the best!
Linda don't let me start hating you oh!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with the ring. She is a medical doctor she does not need Marks money. There are both simple people, Nigerian girls are greedy, money whores that will sleep with anything that have money.
I know these 2 people personally, and i can tell you there are happy, and simple people.
These is how you tell an uneducated person from highly educated people.
Diamonds are mostly sourced from conflict zones and there don't want to be attributed to that.
Please don't compare Kobe's wife to Marks Wife. Kobe wife is an uneducated whore looking for money, Marks wife is a highly educated medical genius who is not attached to materials things like you Nigerian girls
Abegi, there's no need for her to contact Kobe's wife. Who get sense get sense, who no get no no get. Finis. Just one question though. Why the hell did she get married to this guy? They look like they got married cuz well, they've known since school. You know guys, "Oh she's been with me since before I made it big". Pshawwww
ReplyDeleteLinda!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne day you will get married and we will also analyse your wedding gown, your wedding ring and your husband. Please stop being materialistic abeg, there is much more to life than that!
I want to believe Linda is just being intentionally controversial and is not really this materialistic. In her BN interview, she said she doesn't mind marrying a man with less money that she has as long as he is employed.
ReplyDeleteAbeg o Linda, if Aliko give you $50k ring you no go take abi? Dey old for dia make you feel say everything na money.
ReplyDeleteKayli from your post Linda is an uneducated whore?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting such a post from Linda. Honestly, I'm disappointed.
ReplyDeleteLmao! Its okay. A 50,000 dollar ring is fine, biko.
ReplyDeleteLINDA, na POVERTY MENTALITY DEY WORRY U.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmn everybody has crucified Linda finish eeeeh. Dis is a blog nah biko, Linda is makin money outta ur hating if u dnt knw, so quit being enraged ova nuffing. She merely aird her mind. I support Love and humility all d way, buh y'all av gotta put a pause on d insults.On to d next one abeg.

ReplyDeleteIts called simplicity linda. Marriage ia all about love and not how expensive the wedding ring is.
May 25, 2012 12:08 PM"
So on point....for what shall it profit a Man to have expensive wedding and follow the footsteps of Kim who bought a Diamond ring for her wedding?
Linda, she is not Kim Kardashian o! this one get sense and loves her man real good. Besides, the richer a single man gets, the more careful he should be..lest you land yourself with a Kim and not a Prisicilia. #nuffsaid
ReplyDeletei do not think the cost of a ring or wedding can prove a man's love. they might do all that and still be cheating on you, i think what women need is a good man who loves, adores and respects them, not the one that disrespects them while buying them golds and diamonds at the same time. their wedding was simple, its how they wanted it, we should stay out of it
ReplyDeleteSHE HAS BEEN WITH HIM A LONG TIME AND OBVIOUSLY MARRIED FOR LOVE ..THE KIM KARDASHIAN WHOM YOU DROOLED OVER HER FLAMBOUYANT WEDDING ...WHAT HAPPENED THEREAFTER.?..THE WEDDING DOES NOT MAKE THE MARRIAGE..CHANGE UR ATTITUDE SO YOU WONT CONTINUE BEING ON THE SHELF
ReplyDeleteHmm..Many ivy league students could careless about their looks. I know cuz I attend one.
ReplyDeleteLinda, save yourself the stress...just marry yourself like that woman in the other blog post. If you dey think like this, you no go see husband marry O!..
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to be disappointed at Linda, its obvious from the way she wrote this article, that she is trying to incite your contributions. i don't think Linda is that shallow, 'cos she won't be where she is today. she probably wld have sold at self at the hotel in VI and not be stuck with 15 bucks... she is no shallow brainer or have you changed Linda?
ReplyDeleteGet ur facts right sugar, the speculated price for the ring is $100k not 50k. Even @ that $50k in naira is over 7million naira, my dear that is a lot. And rubies are what the Asians are attracted to, there's a cultural significance attached to it.
ReplyDeletebitch you wasnt with me shooting in the gym
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh!! I fear Nigerians. Linda said LOL after the story and you guys want to crucify her. I don't get it. No one understands a joke again. Linda isn't materialistic, it is just traffic strategy, so please enjoy the joke and stop crucifying her. Linda, continue jare :) Your blog rocks. FYI, this story is actually painted this way in all the websites, so crucify the other writers and not just linda.
ReplyDeleteIts not the ring nor diamonds that will make the marriage last!
ReplyDeleteLinda,u've forgotten she's a medical doctor and survive on her own.She truly loves him and does not need his money
ReplyDeleteŸ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ fall my hand Linda.
ReplyDeletelol. na wa o, some of you can take things so seriously sha! You can't tell I was just being silly and trying to rile y'all up? lol. I'm not materialistic o. e jo o biko.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Nigerians have no sense of humour. Linda was obviously joking. Don't know why you all had to get so riled up. Chill, abeg!
ReplyDeleteummm guys Linda is just joking...Sheesh!!! she of course knows that they just happen to be conservative and she is surprised by it. They are modest. Mark is not a big spender and his wife isn't also. some idiots on twitter are just talking and over talking...y'all dummies need to calm down. and again she is comparing their wedding and ring to the average Hollywood wedding which is Cheap in its entirety but was their preference...damn!!!
ReplyDeletei am rather disappointed that linda could post something so shallow....
ReplyDeletethis just shows the morally low our society is....
true is love is now measured by money abi?
quelle domage?
I love u sugar. You are d best!
ReplyDeleteEnough already people!! Don't you get it? Linda is just playing with you! Eish!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, some people are very impressionable, and for some reason i don't understand, they seem to take u as a role model. some of them might have took this crap you posted seriously and will start comparing their husbands worth to the price of their ring. especially in this Nigeria where boys dey borrow money to do wedding. (I have 3 friends who are incuring mad debts just to be able to afford the wedding of their gf's dreams. it's a serious problem. and what's worse, you were already calcilating what the chic stands to gain from divorcing him while they havent eve reached a week in marriage. i seriously hope this is not how u or any woman out there really thinks cos if it is i'm never getting married
ReplyDeleteShe isnt à gold digger Linda, she is a doctor which means without marrying a billionaire she will still make good money in her profession! Wearing a off the rack wedding dress shows you how down to earth she is... why spend millions on a designer wedding dress and get divorce 2 months later lie dear kimmy
ReplyDeleteMe i support Linda on this one.jokingly or seriously.ARE YOU ALL BLIND? Get married to a billionaire and he doesnt even spend a dime on you and tell me you will feel cool.Hypocrites.Linda is not saying its all about cash.shes joking for the most part but a lot of truth is told in jest.
ReplyDeleteZuckerberg is very frugal.ivy league geek!those who know him attests to that.nobody is saying they should wed on the moon or fairy tale tins.personally,i like small weddings but they look trashy at best.d gown.d ring.he designed it himself and wedding conducted at his backyard.
All this was put up right in time to meet Carlifornia laws to avoid her inheriting half of the property incase of divorce cost he sold d business(shares) at the time of the legal wedding.plus im sure a heavy prenup was signed.d weddin even influenced d rocketting of facebook shares.open your eyes,this guy is fooling no one but chick is bidding her time and doesnt care cos she has her own future.BUT TRUTH be told,even in the bible,you appreciate a good woman with effort and material things too.Jacob didnt take Racheal for peanuts,he paid wit his time and effort.and we're not sayin Zuck did nothing but compared to what he has,its humiliating
I am sure he is saving to buy TWITTER.#justsayin
ReplyDeleteLinda you be real igbo gal,i thought you were a christian too?plus a working class lady at that who has had to go through the ranks with dignity and as such has pride in her success,Plain simple she didnt marry him for his money,and for all you know they plan to stay married not getting divorced.Nah u sabi oo,i know say nah play u dey play but some chicks go read this thing now take am serious esp we naija gals.Be careful what u suggest.
ReplyDeleteehehehehehehehe....hey people stop taking life too serious..ish, Linda was obviously just joking!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Is this coming from the same girl that walked all the way from Yaba to Akoka??? I'm really disappointed. Kmt
ReplyDelete.....and they have finished Linda! lmao
ReplyDeleteWhen u work really hard to get ur money u don't spend foolishly on things that will fade away...
ReplyDeleteSimplicity owns the world... I can vividly understand why some African lady will endup as third,fourth wife.... stop watching all those silly reality shows they all fucked up and I bet 99% of people who do have this kinda mindset too... i hope u post this Linda loo
No need to worry Linda.... should they decide to call it quits, she will get half of everything so ruby ring and cheap wedding dress na small fry. Smart chinko babe like her is looking at the bigger picture not like we Naija babes that always want to prove point.... Although I am sure Zuckerberg must have insured himself with a very tight, wicked prenuptial agreement....
ReplyDeleteLinda is now trending on twitter..Linda you really fall my hand today ooo....We your readers have been referred to as ode and oniranu. Abeg Linda stop this your joke abeg. Me am addicted to ur blog and am not oniranu o abeg.
ReplyDeletepls note,not all Nigerian women are as money hungry and gold digging no goods like the author of this peice of rubbish.read somewhere that u walked from yaba to akoka,abeg no come disgrace yaba people here o
ReplyDeleteONOME says.........
ReplyDeleteI read the post thrice Linda,to see if I could get any nuance of a joke inside and sad to say I didn't.
I am absolutely incensed with the crap you posted and yes while you may have come to clear the air and make it as though you were joking;I find the "joke" in very poor taste.
Marriage is a very personal thing Linda and I guess the reason you at times "misyarn" jokingly is because you are not married.A successful marriage is more than money Linda,so much more than money.
Even children in Kindergaten know that "the appearance of propriety is just as important as being proper".A girl can not dress like a harlot and claim to be a woman of God,in the name of a joke.What doesn't make sense actually truly doesn't make sense.So this your "joke" in order to garner traffic and "rile" people up does not wash with me,no ma;it doesn't.
Take care Linda.I hope as you grow you will understand what I just said.You seem like a hardworking honest woman.Please don't mess it up with these "jokes"
Joking or not Linda, you openly criticized their lifestyle which is rude and unfair. Your IQ can't be that low.
ReplyDeleteLinda sorry i don't believe you. there's a backlash here that's why you are responding. If we supported you you'd have kept mute!
ReplyDeleteLI is not playing she is saying what she feels and she thinks everyone is materialistic like her.
Linda don't mind all these voltrons!!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! dats how it strts, stingy men. Wts wrng wiv a $1m ring if she means dt much 2 u. Abeggi, poor stingy guys n girls dt dnt want better, they r d 1s crying. Kmft. We dt we knw we want, we will get it, including u Linda. Rubbish!!! I'm totally behind u!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOnome, thank you. Linda is not joking.
ReplyDeleteSuch shallowness Linda...smh
ReplyDeleteAkiko n'egwu. U all are talking gibberish to me. I have said it and will continue to say it, my ring must be the most expensive thing. I will be wearing it over 30yrs so I want it to live up to its time. The wedding can be real small but okwa that ring i aint laying low.
ReplyDeleteAnd i will weigh the ring according to your pocket. Make una no bite linda, even yahoo feels the same way. Something tells me she will change it within 5yrs
The message here is give according to wat you have. You cant have 20mil naira and buy a 50k ring for me.
ReplyDeleteLinda i really do appreciate ur writing skills and ur approach 2 stories. abeg go give some lecture 2 dat LADUN girl. jus my humble oppinion
ReplyDeleteIt is so unfortunate. I don't think you posted this crap to get traffic.This screams totally with how you think.
ReplyDeleteOne good question for you, with all the money you've made so far, are u fulfilled? has this money made you so happy?
Life is not about money or gold, no matter how much you chase these material wealth, when you die, it won't follow you.
You guys need to chill and get a sense of humor! Don't crucify Linda!! Dang!
ReplyDeleteEveryone should take a deep breathe and relax. Don't you guys get the Satire and Humor. This post does not offend me not one bit, its entertainment at its best. Zuckerberg is worth a billion+ and the ring has ruby antique written all over it so we all know its value is more that just the glamour of a 50,000 ring, but can we all get a laugh. Atleast Linda made a laugh out of it..People take anything that has to do with money to serious nowadays. The ease from Laughter will add more years to your life than the stress from money..
ReplyDeleteLinda please don't be bush. There are diffrent types of precious stones and the is a ruby. It expensive. Google it babe. This is just the extreme level of not knowing anythingmm
ReplyDeleteSmall time now him go come Linda blog come say, him go soon turn 54, yet no child, should he walk away, what will be left of her? Men don't love mark my words. Linda, I catch your drift , no mind Nigerians with foolish love, blind people.
ReplyDeletePrisillia is a Medical Doctor so she is okay for her self.
ReplyDeleteget your facts right...her dress was $5000
ReplyDeletelmao...linda's illiterate dummy gullible reaeders getting pissed hahahahhaha. she is using you morons to smile to the bank.
ReplyDeletesimplicity and i love the girl for not exposing her boobs unlike Kim and Hollywood celebs
ReplyDeleteLinda Ikeji o,
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is kinda my first comment on your blog. You really don't need to upload it.
I think you need to tell your audience that a blog is a personal thing, filled with your own opinion. You can decide to be factual or you can be humorous. People need to realise that and stop insulting you abeg. I am not a materialistic girl but i read the post and laughed. Why can't people have a sense of humour? Hian!
Well there is a history haven't you been saying correct Bobo..whenever Chris Brown buys his gal a gift??..well u thought women would support u..WRONG!!..I was shocked at how people dress to Uni in 9ja all showy and dressy..In US/UK..mehn no one cares..some in winter just get up and go to Lectures..people don't send..yes Western Celebs can be xtra..but most times people just humble themselves even when they shitting money..this is something worth emulating..
ReplyDeleteYou support Gay issues but don't project self sufficient working women despite being one...any wonder..Men treat women like meat..after buying them!!
LOL @ straight from the hips, I jus graduated from unilag,am not soo dressy anymore,but wow I went in that skool lastweek,and gosh, d Colourblocking almost blinded me, purple on lemon,red shoes, orange on green,..yea, that's naija for u...and let's b seriozn they moght just be simple couples!!!some rich ppl dnt send.
ReplyDeleteThis is the highly emabarrassing, this explains why 9ja women especially falls prey for bunch of loosers, if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything... Just because Mark is rich does not mean he should lavish his money. White Americans are just very wise, they invest in homes, cars and shares and bussiness, vacations and better things they are not flashy. Blacks on the other hand and 9jas cos we are special breed, waste money on perishable things, do you know how much 50 thousand is? try living in the U.S and appreciate the value of 50k. If you marry someone for money u will end up loosing. Thoughts like this lands the women involved in an everlasting poverty cos the men involved are not dumb. Pls Linda dont ever write this kind of article, paper, whatever it is dont write ever again. It belittles one's intellligence. Why waste money on a wedding dress that you can't wear twice, Priscilla has access to better things more so she a pediatrician, which means she's worth something, a woman who has nothing should not open her mouth to demand for what she can't bring to the table and besides she does not need to waste money on unnecessary things. This article surprised me...I am woman too and lives in atlanta and if anyone says this kind of crap to me....OOOOH i cant really say what will happen but drastic decisions will happen.
ReplyDeleteabeg its not a joke, its a bit or her real mentality. What else does she need she is married to her boo of 8 years and living in wealth beyond your imagination.
ReplyDeleteMark is a smart person, he just IPO'ed among controversy, share holders have filed a law suit against him. Imagined if her her bought a $500,000 ring or so. His keeping a low profile avoiding media and keeping it simple. Do you know what he does behind doors?
Mindless women, am sure u would watch that bullshit Stephanie Okere wedding and be "OHH! ahhh!! thts how my wedding should be".. At a certain age one would imagine that you have understood life.
I am soo pissed...do u think buying a big ring will make ur marriage blissful
in marriage everything is not about money or diamond rings or flashy cars or private jets...if one of the world's richest men can be frugal then its a lesson for us all who want an easy get-rich-quick easy-way-out life...work hard and spend your money wisely !!! I am sure that ring is probably worth more than you can make out of it from your blog photo, does it have to be flashy to be or look expensive ?
ReplyDeleteAll of you should sharrap and take this post as it was intended.
ReplyDeletelol..nigerians are such hypocites.all of u screaming at linda, tell me how you will feel if u marry paddy adenuga and he builds a house for u in ajegunle ... when he can well afford banana island?
ReplyDeletezuckerberg was being cheap... simples!
the weddin was even a surprsie, d poor bride ddint knw she was gettin married. the guy simply planned d weddin earlier so that she wouldnt have a share of his billions.

ReplyDeleteGosh Linda you are so cheap! You mean a $25k - $50k (DOLLARS O!) ring is not enough?
ReplyDeleteHow much did you fiancé buy your own ring?
"However, an expert consulted by Yahoo! Shine points out that rubies are extremely significant and popular in Asian culture, and can potentially be more expensive than diamonds.
ReplyDelete"http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/priscilla-chans-ruby-ring-193400700.html
Erm... I'm a summing y'all know it's just gist... I honestly don't think Linda meant that way.
ReplyDeleteLinda, not cool. You should know better.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the records, the dress didn't cost a few hundreds. Its a a $4,700 gown designed by Los Angeles-based designer Claire Pettibone
for your information linda,he made the ring himself for his wife,he didnt buy it and besides whats d big deal,its nothing and besides not everybody is materialistic,dont u know little things count
ReplyDeleteGosh....see bitterness. No humor in this zones ooo.damn
ReplyDeleteWow poor linda
ReplyDeletehummm Linda... what if it's a family ring? What if they signed a prenup?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that Mark and his wife are simple people. It is people with small change and living on credit card that show off the most. empty people.
ReplyDeleteShe is an educated independent woman so she holds her won.
Linda, is not that materialistic, she's just said that to get a reaction out of us. Only rich Africans squander their money to show it off. Wealthy people don't do that.
ReplyDeleteO.M.G!Tired of this golddigging nigerian mentality for flip sake! Can't a girl make her own money? Does marriage always have to be about money? This is exactly the reason why Naija marriages dont last and when they do it's bcos they are busy having affairs with those they really love as opposed to who they actually married! So disappointing.
ReplyDeleteAnon May 25, 2012 5:11 PM you the illiterate dummy reader who needs to go back to school to learn how to spell. Moronic idiot!
