I like Funmi's butt, she looks like she works out. Linda you're beautiful, but you seriously need a stylist. Being stylish isn't all about B/W. Errrrm, is Denrele really gay or does he just have an irritable fashion sense?

I like your style Linda. But I often wonder why you carry just one hair style and your shoes all look alike. I guess you like playing safe.on the overall, your style is conservative and decent. Commendable actually. If you were older yea but you are still young.... Don't expose your flesh like the celebrities but I would like to see funky side of you sometimes.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I think it is very sad that people are not asking about the book and how to get it but are focusing more on what people wore or did not wear. How does change come when the so called young people that should be more worried about the outcome of their future are not ready to learn or know more on the solution for a better future. Later you guys would blame our leaders. Very sad. Anyway please Linda where in PH can I get the book. Thanks and great job Mr Chude am proud of you and to find out you are not even yet 30 years and you have achieved so much am truly inspired and I know very soon we would meet in person. All the best.

Ms Linda Ikeji you look a tad bit ridiculous in that outfit girrrrlllll! Chile dat dress looks very ancient. did u inherit it from your great great granny?
honey I'm tired of seeing you in that hair, you can do lots of amazing things to your hair, you are clearly VERY beautiful, a natural beauty, unlike most of our celebs here. switch up your looks a little bit. Jesus needs to fix that hair! I come against every spirit of to match, ruining your fashion and taking away your glam and making you look like sham! Be done with that! be a risk taker. get a good stylist, you obviously can afford one.
Accept my reads with love.
