Naija Entertainment News

Let me start by apologising to my bossom friend, Niyi Tabiti. I absolutely didn't mean to rubbish him or anyone else like he thinks, with what I wrote on my blog yesterday. I love people too much to want to rubbish anyone. I really didn't mean it that way. Just gossipping ;) You know, I talk too much and sometimes I'm a careless talker...my apologies sweets.

I already called to apologise and we are cool. I have mad love for him and he knows it.

Niyi writes "I can tell you for free that she rarely attends up to five events in a year." lol
Is it up to five? I have a problem with dressing up and going to social events...but don't worry, I'll up it to 6 this year...lol

Anyway, let's move to the gossip post of the day. Not much 'cos I'm really tired. I come back home too late nowadays. It's about 1 am and I'm up blogging. What a life I have...lol
Enjoy

Onyinye Igwe leaves Soundcity – Rebecca Akinkunle
TV hostess, Onyinye Igwe, has resigned from Soundcity. The gorgeous girl whose resignation is generating ripples here and there. This is what she had to say about leaving Soundcity.
OnyinyeI left Soundcity because I was done. There was nothing else for me to do there. If I wasn’t of good value to Soundcity, my departure wouldn’t mean anything, but the fact that I made an impact there means that whatever is going on now has to go on. I’ve gotten millions of messages on facebook, people say you were so good, why did you leave? You need to tell us the channel you’re going to so that we can move to that place. I didn’t realize it was going to be that bad, because I wanted to leave quietly and move back to England and decide what I want to do next. I’m not glad that I left Soundcity in a way but I have to move on with my life.”

or u telling me omowunmis issue is the first?
You might not know it,but you are on a lot of peoples shit list.
keep on doing you,KARMA IS A BITCH..at least now some of us know the truth behind the DAN FOSTER story,yet u came on here looking for sympathy as if he did you wrong when you were only getting your payback.

No congrats though cos i was looking forward to some gist.

N>B I would have handled it with the same maturity if i was in your shoes....Let them say.

Linda, i just read Niyi Tabiti's response, and i must say the guy dey vex with you well well. However i beleive some things he said about you were really unecessary. I thought you were pals, this could have been resolved with a simple phone call.

Linda Ikeji said...

@anon 2.07, whoever u are, I usually delete ur comments because they are always very nasty, but I decided to upload this so I can respond to u. what I don’t get is, why do u always visit my blog if u hate me so much? Why do u come read me? Sweetie, ur words mean nothing to me…I don’t know who u are, even if I did, people like u aren’t my cup of tea. But please keep coming to my blog, hopefully one day you will fall in love with me…and start singing a different tune.lol

U say I'm on people's shit list? Thank God i'm good at apologising...all i have to do is say sorry.

U keep saying Karma, karma, whats karma got to do with anything.

Ure right, there are people who laugh at me, but I have absolutely no doubt that there are more people who laugh with me...im blessed.

whoever u are sweetie, dont bother leaving comments here. if it's to make me feel bad, ure wasting ur time.im too blessed to be hurt by words from people who dont really know me. God bless.

Linda, This is my first comment on ur blog, I read it everyday and hv been doing so for a year now. I must commend you for the level of maturity you displayed in handling this matter, I respect you and admire your humility, even though I would have love to see the roforofo thing, I think putting an end to this is just very GOOD. Thumps up girlfriend. Hope you know you have just put an end to some people's jackpot "gossipers".

I think Niyi Tabiti was right about what he wrote.Its good that you have retraced your step and as good friend apologised. I think he mentioned the Dan's story to let you know how u once denied your affair too.
I know him to him to be a cool...someone that is never bothered about things. I guess the one make him angry. Linda and Niyi should continue being pals oooo

Linda Ikeji said...

Thanks Temidayo.
@anon 4.57,Niyi was angry, and people over react when they are angry. what he wrote is fine with me...i write worse things about myself...lol

and talking about my ex is not an issue that bothers me...i started it on the internet so it doesnt really matter...

chetablog said...

You did nothing that you should apologise for. 4k the annonymous Lagos soft sell mafia. You made a comment which you had every right to do. I have responded to the nonsense, anyone who wants to kill themselves can do so.

Wild Boy said...

Hey yah linda sweetie, shit happens and sometimes some comments on your blog shouldnt be allowed to see the light of the day. Even though they dont matter but you and I and anon knows that the citicisms aint construtive and are highly unnecessary-and the Niyi roforofo, shebi toungue and teeth dey fight?lol Kia

Ms. Catwalq said...

What are you apologising for?
Both you and Niyi need to simply polish up your method of delivering news...

bob-ij said...

I think you handled it well. Plus you're our online link to Nigerian information. I can't get the magazines all the way here. So Kudos for that. Keep doing your thing x!

I have to say though, that I LOOOVE the photo of the day!..It has definitely made mine! x!

Thanks for this. Hope all is well.

I am so proud of you Linda, you are very down to earth and more mature than all those people who obviously envy you.You handled the whole Tabiti thing really well.

Going to events all year round does not mean anything and certainly does not mean you are classy. If you go to just one a year that is your choice and depending on who is talking it may be a good thing to not be an ' event whore'. Besides you are not a paparazzo like Mr Tabiti. You just blog for fun, not for money.

Love your blog
Edith, London

I'm not going to lie I ran to your blog to see some Ninja fight. I absolutely admire how you handled the situation.
As for the anonymous.. such a coward, if she feels that way, why didn't she come say it to your face.

You have not succeded till you have haters in this world, go on and celebrate my sister.

Anonymous said...

Linda, my advise to you is to drop Niyi Tabiti as your publicist immediately. With a friend like that who needs an enemy? Shame!

Anonymous said...

Linda as i always say see you at the top. Niyi is a big disgrace to have written that rubbish.you see why naija man dey beat his wife. i am dissappointed that a small matter like this can bring out such vernom. well you have to know that every time you succeed or get to new heights people hate you the more.who cares. go out and do some more great things.my grand ma would have denied dan forster too. it is common sence with the irresponsible work they do in nigeria.
@ Annon 8:23 AM. thanks i agree with you 100%.
@Anon 2:07 AM. you are a disgrace. why not put your name there if you are not a coward. this young girl is working doing some good work all you and your niyi can do is run your mouth. how many 20something girls do you know in your naija with only one failed relationship? shame on you. you only know how to pull down guess what this girl is not coming down. it is too late. shameless faceless boy

Anonymous said...

he was ur publicist?!!!

Anonymous said...

Linda how could NIYI TABITI have been ur publicist???...He can hardly express himself properly and shoots carelessly(i.e. writes poorly ) mixes up his tenses...he is a social climber and all these riff raffs should be ignored...minimize ur interactions with hoodlums...u seem to have a good head on ur shoulders...i have been observing and responding to ur blogs since i discovered u a few months ago..and i admire the effort u make to be civil... keep up the good work...coming from me its a big deal bcos i dont suffer fools lightly and i could be cynical..but i see u as a younger sister i dont have...

Linda Ikeji said...

I want to say a big thank u to everyone who dropped a comment here. thanks for the support, and love u've shown me...i feel grately blessed. Thank u so much.

wale, thank u.

Linda, this is what you do anytime you try this kind of a thing, apologise!I know u very well and one day u will see that it would bounce back on you. I saw that you have posted alot of anon comment to booster your ego and i just wish you will post this one too.

Anonymous said...

I have read through all ur comments and i noticed that all the ones u have posted except the first one that u decided to reply favoured u.Hmmmmm...Linda,u think you are there already and trying to smear the guy that sold you to the world running around for u.Well,If i were u i will delete all the comments here.That is my 2 cents.

Anonymous said...

linda, i'm not happy with you. why didn't you post my comment?

you know who this is...

princekay123 said...

This is what I have to say and I have said it on Niyi Tabiti's blog...

Niyi,

Though I had vowed not to comment on Linda-Niyi and Omowunmi-Fasan issue, I strongly think it is a responsibility to say the truth. Pls pardon me if I 'mis yearn'.

I am very disappointed when I read your post. You are Linda's publicist and mentor in journalism. You guys have been friends for a very long time, so you don't need to 'assault' her in the public. What is wrong in calling her to settle the differences.

Linda doesn't attend event: that is not a problem men! Afterall, she gives you credit anytime she writes from your blog. Why crucifying her?

Also, you shouldn't have written about Linda's personal secrets with you. As her (former) publicist, her secrets are supposed to be your secrets. You're supposed to TREASURE her secrets; she is a celeb for crying out loud.

From what I read, Linda called to apologise and settle with you. I don't expect you to be proud of that. It shows that Linda is more matured (no insult intended)

Let me state that nobody is an island. I got to know your blog through Linda Ikeji's blog, and I know so many people also got addicted to your blog through the reference on Linda's blog. So, why trying to feel like a king.

This is a candid opinion of a friend.

Anonymous said...

I think this things ouldnt have gone to this level if you had managed well in the first place by calling ur guy. A lot of peple are saying Linda is a top model, he is this and that yet they forgot that Niyi started the cliche top model.
I am not sorry for Niyi because we all told him when he was always pumping you up in our days at Global Excellence.Now you have turned back against him by allowing flowing comments through the same IP address.
Is modelling and collecting 30k the thrust of being a top model? convert it to dollar and see what you get.A top model lives well, what the brand of your car or the house you live in Nigeria?
In the first place i got to know about you through Niyi when he was writing about you.As a top model,where have you modelled outside the shores of this country.Linda we know your worth and the way you are.Just try and make sure that u indeed apologise and stop getting eratic comment that make everything look like a devil's kiss.
Remember, you did the same thing to us in Encomium sometime ago...GOD dey o!

Anonymous said...

hmm.Linda!Linda!!Linda!!! How many times i call u.Remember, Niyi is not the first person you are doing this to.I am sure that those who are praising you now don't know that that guy did massive hype in the magazine and newspapers before people started knowing u.Well, Linda, i am your friend and i just pray that you will ensure that u allow the sleeping dog lie.I love your blog and Niyi own too.

i am tired of all this childish and catty back and forth nonsense ppl are writing on this blog..they are totally unnecessary and completely trivial and inconsequential and frankly really petty and childish...i've admired Linda's blog bcos it is entertaining, engaging and feel good...some of u should stop the craziness..this is a fun blog and shld be kept as such.. Look Linda if anyone writes anything unbecoming when it is totally uncalled for pls dont post it on ur blog...a lot of us dont have time for the useless ranting...if u want more advice email me

YOU OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO GET INTO LINDAS GOOD BOOKS FOR "SOMETHING" ---
WELL ITS NOT THAT HARD
POOR SOD

Anonymous said...

i think only the 2 people involved really understand the specifics of their issue...

most bloggers were not present when they became friends and neither know nor understand the history they have/share...

lets stop being judgemental!
according to linda, d issue is resolved so everyone..let go!!

XXXXX
to those referring to niyi's grammar/tenses etc...
he used the same poor english to sell linda to nigerians...so quit already!!!...Some things in life are more important than you ability to speak another man's language****

Anonymous said...

I've read your blog for years and enjoyed it. In my opinion if you are really that mature about the whole thing, you would moderate any comments that seek to belittle Niyi Tabiti at all, which you havent done! Says a lot actually

Anonymous said...

why are u speaking English?? if its another man's language ...and even if he sold her to the world..must he hang it over her head for life...so she shld have no room to breathe and be her authentic self...that is the problem with human beings, when they do something for u ..u have to pay
for it forever...instead of the person letting go..

collette said...

sooooo what's the full gist all about?
seems extremely interesting and i want to know. yes I'm late on the issue but still... gist nah gist.
