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...

Yemi said...

Dear Linda,
I read your blog on a daily now. At least whenever I get a chance and I want to say thank you for the entertaining me! When I first read your post about homegirl. I thought, must be nice....Then I'm reading about this beefing matter. When I first read the reason you apologized, I agreed with you....until I read the tweets homegirl posted. Is she on cheap expired crack?!!!! Da-hell! That was just downright insulting and you did nothing wrong than merely post a picture she obviously didnt mind taking, from the smile she has on. She should not forget, her fans made her who she is. I would have just ignored her. I also think she posted the apology just to show that you were wrong for what you did. In all actuality dear, you did absolutely nothing wrong. It comes with being in the limelight and homegirl should realize that sooner than later. My 10 cents!

Frankly speaking dear, you were wrong professionally..

TAI said...

linda dear i understand u wanting to make her feel better, but with her rantings and name calling the should have helped her feel better!!! u made her feel relevant apologizing i was dissapointed u did as she is A NON MOTHERFUCKING FACTOR WITH NO CLASS. who made her a star or how many movies has she even been in kmt, saying u used her name to gain popularity for ur blog!!!!!!! does she know how many of us visit this blog over 10 times a day??????? she should have used that money to send herself to CHARM SCHOOL!!!!!!!! funny i actually use to like her,just for 1 movie SOUND OF POVERTY her insulting u was uncalled for cos i saw nothing malicious about the post and shouldn't be held responsible for ur readers comments!! therefore no apology needed especially with her rantings that made it worse . BUT AS YOU CAN SEE SHE IS USUALLY CASTED AS AN UNCOUTH GIRL SO JUST MAYBE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY AARE DOING AFTER ALL TYPE CASTING HER

why should susan peters feel slighted about that pic for heavens sake?is it the pic or the comments wey dey vex am?the pic is original and she posed for the camera so i dont see any reason why she go dey vex,and if its the comments,she must be quite foolish to hold linda responsible for the comments people make on her blog...who is she by the way?what is her claim to fame cos me i no even sabi am,infact i had to google her name to find out who she actually is,so by saying linda used her name to shine,i think she has an exaggerated sense of her importance or popularity...linda i personally think you shouldnt have apologised cos i dont see what you need to apologise for...

I Neva knew Susan Peters until i read about her ere. Susan who? Linda u r awesome and down to earth and great.

Lin Biko, bia make we rap small. Nyem aka...big five o! You did the right thing, no matter who insulted you...you showed that you are an adult. Yesterday I saw the tweets and I was fuming from my living room...when I saw your apology, my respect level for you shut up so much. Forget the insults from her. She knows not how to behave!

Anonymous said...

hi Linda, your apology was okay, Susan Peters was just being childish about the blog. The fact that you apologized shows that you are matured compared to her.

Anonymous said...

Linda my dear, you were not wrong in apologizing. Your apology just shows that you are the bigger and more mature person. And the fact that you did it privately goes to show that your intent was to make her settle down. You did the right thing. However a little advice for the future especially as your blog continues to grow, don't go around apologizing to people all willy nilly. Like the above writer said, the few apologies that you are ever gonna make as a jounalist should be reserved only for situations were you actually reported something in error. Susan Peters article DOES NOT qualify.

Keep up the good work.

Hey Lindy..my Lindy...you're a wonderful person, I have never met you but I'm addicted to your blog. Your apology wasn't wrong at all, it was just you showing that you're human and you have feelings too..You have one thing that Nigerian politicians and celebrities alike lack a lot..transparency..you don't conceal any side of a story just to favour you..that's why I love you to bits! So those Naija website peeps saying stuff about not being professional should please leave our Linda alone..we love just the way you are!

You did the right thing by apologising to her. She made it public is good for your PR. I now see you as one who is matured and sensitive.
Be yourself always! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Someone was hurt, your apology eased her, you're happy, she feels better, life goes on, everyone is happy.

Margaret Mary said...

Ha.Ha...Seriously? U had to have known the kind of comments ur readers will dish. I don't see what the apology was for if u meant to write about her 'acquisition' (smh @ the kinda headlines making the exclusive news these days) because in that regard the Nigeria Bulletin article is correct, she did 'acquire' it, so it's a TRUE story even if trivial and irrelevant.

Her twitter rant was just plain classless, but Linda babes, if for whatever reason u felt moved to apologize to her, u for do am publicly since u posted the 'news' publicly to start with.

Susan Peters is still stupid. Its obvious that she has a hand in this publication. Love you loads Linda you took the first step and became the bigger Sista. Hope fame whores like susan Peter learn to manage their public relations better.

coralie said...

Linda, really? I actually don`t know what to say but I would take it step by step. Firstly I would reiterate what i always say, whenever I comment on your blog, which I do quite rarely, i love itttt. I`m not nigerian but pretty much in love with the whole culture, so much that my husband always quarrels me whenever he catches on any nigerian entertainment blog, especially the ikeji, as he always says (lool).

But enough of it, let`s come back to the present issue, linda dear you have no obligation to apologise to whoever as long as there is no defamation or intention to do so.

Reading what Miss, Mrs or Ms Peters (sorry don`t really know her)has written or her twitter would automatically make one understand the true educational level of the person. Honestly what was said by you for her to react the way she did? nothing.
LIB readers who she has denigrated would like to thank her but before doing so we would like to tell her how very real we were when commenting, we were being very honest, and still maintain our positions.

She really needs a good body scrub and mennnnnnh, she almost looks like a man in a wig,"wink"

If the only thing you have is freaking blog, what freaking thing does she have?

What are the criteria for labeling someone "failed".

These nollywood stars are arrogant, uneducated dunce. Seems like you are perturbed whenever someone reminds you that you are a failed model. Yes, you are a failed model, but a successful blogger.

Linda, you are not in the same league with Susan Peters. You are way ahead of her. You act. like Obama during his early year at presidency. He prostrates before Saudi monarchs because he was unaware of the power he possess.

Susan Peters might be richer than you. But surely, you are more powerful than her. You have amassed followers and you have to perform in a extremely dumb manner to lose a sizeable chunk of them. Susan Peters has none.

MediaTakeOut.com daily update is never complete without reporting something about Rihanna. But have u ever seen Rihanna react? You should have milked on the publicity created by her rant by increasing the traffic to your site.

As far as I'm concerned, Susan Peters is no match for my darling Linda. BTW, you should know that you have no love among the Nollywood elites. Mercy Johnson's saga should have taught you that. Therefore, you must be delusional to you curry their favour. They are the ones that should curry your favour. They need you for publicity. While you don't need their permission to publish news about them.

I don't watch Nollywood, 'cause it depresses my IQ. Nollywood movies insults my intelligence. But I never miss LIB since last year.

Linda u got to grow up. You are a freaking bigwig in this business, and u can't just genuflect before lightweights.

Linda, if you don't know that you are heavyweight in this business. Then I should remind you of some of your deeds that catapulted u to the top.

1. You are the first to report the death of Sam Loko. Even when 2Face and Nollywood stars were saying that it's a lie. You proved beyond reasonable doubt with a picture evidence.

2. Sun's newspaper published Abia rape story 2 weeks before u did. Nothing happened! Others media outlets reported it. Yet, nothing happened! But when it was reported on LIB, the world listened, acted and everywhere trembled. Such is the power u possess.

3. Your update on fuel protests kept it alive

Linda, wake up! You possess so much power now. You are no more that broke-ass Linda during your modelling days. You are now Linda the bigwig of Nigerian society, Linda the women's right advocate, Linda the anti-corruption crusader and Linda the entertainer.

Let not the power you possess get into your head. I'm very sure that you'll wake up to reality soon. Whenever you becomes pompous. Then, I'm off. Still maintain your real humble self. You know what I mean. Don't be afraid to delve into controversy. Welcome it.

Finally. . .

You cheapened us that are following you and your blog by apologizing to that dimwit.

You must tender an unreserved apology to all of us that made LIB what it is today.

Linda linda,It all part of the entertainment dear. For the records, I think its u who made susan popular, cos I don google am tire, I've never seen her on afrimagic or tv b4(unless she presents on ltv. I seldom tune to it) seriously. Besides hun, what intelligent babe would make all of those comment on twitter, it showed emtiness in her, she should have handled it bera, showing off her pedigree like that (comb a pig, wash a pig...). Linda forget those press jargon, always apologise when u think u've hurt someone. Its not for them to judge(no forget baba God o) let them talk, that's y they have mouths. :D how would we know u r human if u don't have feelings or consience? Can't u see the good in ur apology? She used it to draw morE glory(in her mind #nuisance) to herself. LIB rocks! Nkem

Linda, I'm a lover of your blog and I was among those that wrote a comment on the susan P post but sincerely, I'm disappointed you could apologize over a true story. Its a disgrace to the journalism profession, it seems you were intimidated with her rants on twitter and personally, I'm ashamed you cld be bcos I had tot your were a tough lady who can stand tall and defend her blog which in this case, you flopped. Never apologize to any one who you post about on your blog unless there is an error in posting or typo mistake..

You shouldn't have apologized. She acted like a lil bitch who was just denied ice cream. As a grown person, she should have calmed down and taken the whole thing as fun. Banky gets a bashing because of his head everytime, but takes it in his stride like a mature man. She needs to grow the fuck up.

Linda you are not a person i particularly care for, but i must say this, on this issue i am on your side. You tried to apologise for the incovenience of comments and she came back and showed her ass.

Susan shebi you don start something you cannot finish, You are going to insult millions of ppl using LI as scapegoat when in actual fact you are insulting the commenters directly. You have just shot your self in the foot cos from here on we will insult you until kingdom come.

This is why i dont respect but 2 or 3 ppl in nollywood. 99.9%NOLLYWOOD are RAAZZZZZZZZ and Susan just proved it for the millionth time and this is why i am so disappointed when foolish idiots (and they know who the are) are always kissing their up to them on twitter like they are God. They are USELESS actresses who can not act to begin with and now to make it up they were lace fronts get in front of a camera to take photoshop shoots and get a few compliments by village champions with bad taste so they think thats the end of the world

NAME ME ONE NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS WHO HAS CLASS - take off the weave , the dresses, and red carpet poses and everything and just tell me one person who has class. Ufeoma Ejenorbor whom i had such respect for shocked the hell out of me with her rant with Lagos police, thats when i knew, all that glitters is not gold - my jaw dropped watching her razz demeanor on that youtube video footage. We dont have a doubt Tontoh and the rest of bitches are razz with no class, and Susan am not quite surprised cos she always came across as ghetto bush with no class and she just sealed the deal with this her rants.

A smart person who has class would never respond the way she did.EXTREMELY BUSH UNCOUTH GIRL. multiple award winning actresss my foot. NAME ONE MOVIE YOU HEADLINED AND PERFORMED EXCELLENTLY. You are the failed actress - known for nothing - you are a complete joke.


As for me till this day i have said unless this Jazz skanks hiefas takes off her pants for me to see she dont have a dick between her legs, i still stand on my case to say she is a dude.Stupid Girl (opps I meant BOY).

I mean is this that serious that you will go ranting on Twitter like this.

i will repeat 99.9% oF NOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES ARE RAZZ AND BUSH - no class, dont like the Jeeps, weaves and BB foool you. RAZZ.

SO SAD YOU CANNOT BUY CLASS. NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT (even if you got ya money through jazz).

HONESTLY I want someone to name me one nollywood actress whom you can confidently say has a lot of genuine grace and classy.

I read these tweets on a random blog last night and the 1st thing that came to my mind was "nooooo, Linda shouldn't have apologized". It's quite unfortunate a journalist picked it up and made his/her own opinion public. We totally understand the part of you wanting to apologize because of your conscience...come on, you are only human. Next time, before you put anything out there, think of the pros and cons. You can write anything on YOUR blog but once its going to a 3rd party, think twice.

Anonymous said...

OMG, Linda...you messed up. Linda...let me school you a bit, I am not a journalist, but one thing I do know is you never apologize for what you post especially when you never made any negative comments about her. Your apology sounded like you just kissed her ass. You were not supposed to apologize at all because you were basically accepting that you are liable for any damages made, and if this were to be taken to a court of law, you would totally lose.Naija celebs sef are so touchy when it comes to news about them and it makes no sense.

Linda,
Your apology is unprofessional and uncalled for. She only proved to be smarter than you by making the DM public.
You should learn to stick by your posts as long as they are true. Her pic spoke for you and it was needless apologizing. Many of us sent emails to you when you were in US and none was replied. Try and appreciate your fans and stop insulting us.

God bless you.

LIB readers deserves an apology from Linda Ikeji for the undeserved apology to Susan on our behalf.

Linda,u shouldn't have apologised. It made u 'unprofessional'. The fact that u sent her a DM made it worse. She took a shine out of u by making the DM public. That post wasn't insultive,why would she rant over that?! Peace Ambassador my behind! Mcheew! Even if u actually felt bad over her rants u shouldv'e just mentioned her and not DM. Its all gone now and I still love u. Keep up the good job and don't always feel u owe anyone any apolgy as long as u don't insult them. Oyin

You felt an apology was appropriate and you followed your heart. You did nothing wrong. Susan on the other hand is a very uncouth woman. She was certainly undeserving of the apology.

Apology well deserved! It further help us know the kinda animal she is. You're the *Star* here joör. Keep flying Linda. Their inability to render or accept apologies is why most of them don't have settled homes.

Babe had to wake up at least 6 co LIB Readers to read and comment on this article Linda why did you apologies to susan upon all the insults?.anyways if proves you are a matured Lady For Susan since we know you will read this Linda is not a Failed Model at all check urself and make amends one dress sense is zero, ur skin needs attantion,ur hair is a write off those are valuable point to note all we said was that why buy a 400K phone when u have challenges with the above..Linda forget this Babe you rock jo

Saying am sorry does not mean you are wrong or weak, it only means you are matured and want peace. Don't feel bad for apologising. Susan was hurt, and she has the right to her emotions, but she accepted your apology. You should have made your apology public yourself.

Olumide said...

Linda pls dint mind the egocentricmaniac Susan Peters. You're da bomb, she doesnt understand that journalist and blogger made them celebrity, such people are better ignored than acknowledged. Keep doing what you're doing babe, you're more successful than many of them.

Anonymous said...

Hi Linda; I'm a religious follower of your blog but never dropped a comment. But I had to just to help you have a long breath of fresh air.
1. You owed Susan Peters no apologies cos the picture says it all.
2. According to the journal, you only do owe someone an apology if the publication about them is untrue.
3. Its obvious she was sad cos pple cud see just how lame she is by the picture in question and how razz she is by her rants on twitter!
4. If she didn't know lame she was; y pose with a BB porsche before taking a picture? Did she strike such a pose when she bought her 1st blackberry or when she bought the blackberry Torch?
I've got a BB porsche and it will be lame and vain for me to do what she as a celebrity (celebrity my foot) has done!
5. Was she expecting pple to say: awwww so cute!? This is generation next where pple can tell d difference between vain and not vain. Its a generation of knowing wats right from wrong!
6. Then calling LIB fans, nonentities; is just the height of foolishness and showing how low her thinking faculty is.
7. For the record Susan; u aint celeb shit! Cos being a celeb is about how the public eye sees you. I for one never really understood why there's so much hype bout you cos the movies u have featured in can be counted with my fingers. So what's your headache? If its ur model shots, that's making try to feel like a celebrity, I advise u take a look @ ur real self in the BB porsche picture- dats wat u are with make up on! So wats under the make-up? - Disaster?!
8. Linda; the only pple u owe an apology are the LIB readers cos they were being honest and having fun - which as far as journalitic blog is concerned; the LIB readers are all entitled to their opinions! Even though some are always out of line and context; as long as this Susan Peters issue is concerned; nobody did wrong!
9. I'm sure for the purpose of inside strory, Susan didn't buy that phone with money from her pocket. So ki lo fa noise-making?
10. Susan Peters; u sure have a lot to learn! First is hiring a publicist if you don't have 1 and can afford it!

Pls don't apology again,smh @ using other people to shine......with that her wack acting.she should go get a life

Dlapikin said...

linda unless what you posted was erroneous, misleading or false you should not have apologized. Now I don't see anything wrong in apologizing but let me ask you this: Are you going to apologize to every entertainer who bought a car or a property that you blogged about? Are you not to ever blog anything about this lady (Susan Peters)?
If the answer to any of this question is NO then you should never apologiize for this type of stuff again. She is a low life for calling you all these names. I'm really disappointed she was one of my favorite actresses and I really dont care what people buy for themselves if it floats their boat but for goodness sake if you begin to apologize for every hurt feeling then begin sending messages to Dencia, Mercy johnson, Flavour's fiance, The Abi Kuku and Funke Fowler, Tuface Idibia, Anita and Pero, and the many who have gotten some serious criticism on this blog.. Oya start cuz I don't see why Ms Peters Feelings are more valuable thant those of all these people..

Professor X said...

This woman is very classless. Ah ah see how she was just ranting like a tacky school girl. Who is she sef? Actress my foot. I've never seen her in a home video. If she's so pained by an article she should drink cold water and sit down biko. Rada rada oshi. Why did she pose with the blackberry like that if it isn't a big deal to her? Nonsense and ingredients. Linda u shouldn't have apologised to her. From her rants its obvious that class is far from her. Her making the DM public just goes to show how low she is. *spits* Tueh! U should only apologise when u have erroneously published something false and the truth comes out. That's the only time a journalist apologises. See how this jati jati is using ur apology to shine now. Like she has achieved something. Shior.

Ginanisque said...

Hello Linda, I love the way you handled this. Its very mature and farsighted. Please keep doing what you are doing. Your articles keep many entertained and informed. Contrary to what some say about you being a failed something or other, people can grow, change or evolve even if it means doing other things or doing things differently. That's why parents ask their children to go to school so they can have a wide array of skills to allow them to do change, grow or evolve just like what you did. How many models, actresses can use their intellectual skills after a modelling career? It shows some intelligence on your part rather.

Linda dont feel bad..I actually enjoy your blog. As for the Susan Peters BB story, you did not post the story trying to be malicious.. You did not insinuate it was a "sugar daddy" who bought it for her or something silly.. you need to realize with the success of your blog will come haters and folks who wont always agree with your point of view.. keep your head up and continue creating awareness..God bless..

And you better post this comment.....

Anonymous said...

My thought after reading the headline was this; 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 money is increasing.
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 there and know the level of hard work it entails (asked new entertainment 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 one 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

You even made her popular sef cos my colleagues don't even know who she is.
Concerning her rants,that was really not cool but I love laura's replies, she really put susan in her place. I wish all LIB readers saw that....it was freaking funny.

ABEKE said...

Linda, apologising was wrong, she is silly to have attack you and we the Lib readers like that. that is so wrong, a bloody actress who will fade with time. you are a journalist and you can write what ever as long as it is not slander.
susan peters is an person with insecurities, what the big deal, you buying a phone made news, you shuld av taken the picture then if you didnt want us to know. you are a celebrity , you chose that and it comes with your life being invaded. responding like that doesn't speak well of you. if you cant stand what comes with fame then quit and stop insulting u fans cos they responded to a post. dont you see stories on the internet and the tabloids about your foreign collegues, they suck it up and move on. have you ever watched fashion police, have you see how much lindsay has been bashed by the tabloids. that behaviour was so unprofessional.

Ge Or Ge said...

Dear Linda, I must say that I am most disappointed in you for rendering such an apology. EMPTY VESSELS MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE. Who is this susan peters self. If not for that article I wouldn't have known her. Her rant shows that she is most uncultured and uncivilised. Also, the article must have hit her hard dats why she had verbal diarrhaoea. She(susan) needs to tender all LIB readers unreserved apology for all the nonse she wrote. If not she'll regret. And by the way, never apologize for any comments. U obviously know now that you have a large followership and everything u do affects us. Its ur personal,unbiased touch to ur stories that endear us. So stand with ur head up high. That susan dey jealous u ooooo

D said...

Well u r only human and u make mistakes. Now u know what to do next tym. Just keep ur head up it is well!

Ujunwa said...

Linder, You shouldn't have apologized to her but let this be a lesson to you.
- She said you dont have anything other than your blog. I am proud you have something at least (your blog)and that is enough.
- The last time i checked, you were not sleeping with different men (politicians) to buy houses, car, designer hand bags, black berry porsche etc etc.
- Wetin Susan Peters dey act self and what does she have? Did you tell her you need help? The other time, it was Toto Dike, sorry Tonto Dike.
- I want our actors/actresses to know that every body can act because, we put up different behaviors at different occasions. The way i behave when i am with my boss is different from the way i do when i am with my girl friend. You dont need any 'special skill' to start acting. Afterall, most of them are school cert. holders.
- I dont watch Nigeria movies because of this high level of empty arrogance. Particularly the actresses.
- I agree with Nigerian Bulletin 1001%. God bless Linda Ikeji.

Anonymous said...

Hi Linda, that's what is called a non-apology apology. You're apologising for how the comments made her feel and not for the post, which is fine coz the pix is in the public domain and you got to do what you got to do! But honestly, you should have just ignored, afterall she don abuse you back. Shamefully, calling someone "failed" is what she should never have done because even she can fail. And to think Linda is failed is so so naive of her. Go on girl! You only got started on the path of your successes!!!

U always do this thing where u drop news/photos/stories of celebs on ur blog in a way that even a fool can see that ur asking pple to say hurtful things. If u no dey fear go n do that kind of piece on Toyin ATM na.

I can only describe Susan Peters in one word - classless.

Momen said...

@ Linda Ikeji, I must say from my own perspective you were VERY wrong to have apologised to that "thing" who runs her mouth uncontrollably.Maybe you always apologise to people after we your blog readers must have commented on their post.Anyway, help me tell that "thing" to go Jump into a lagoon for insulting your fans.

qmoney said...

That message looked me like u are only human...u even said "take it easy abeg",not like u were kissin ass....Susan obviously has insecurity issues,low self esteem e.t.c..Ode oshi,so cos Tonto went on twitter,she decided to go&rant too....As for callin readers names,it jus shows her level of stupidity,they obviously watch her movies to know her&she dares insult them?

The 'Self perceived superstar' Susan Peters really overreacted and and acted so immaturely. I bet a real superstar lyk Genevieve Nnaji would never have reacted dat way.
She has totally lost d little regard people lyk me had 4 her.
I'm sure he reacted dat way cos it's Linda, would she have done same if it was City People Magazine or other celebrity mags?
And if Linda ever failed as a model, wat's d biggie? Go and check, every truely successful man or woman had tasted failure in one way or d other, it's all part of her success story as she now runs d No. 1 and most successful entertainment blog in Nigeria. She has definitely identified her niche and dominating it. I don't know in what area Susan Peters can claim to be No. 1 or one of d best, Unless in other areas known to her alone... Lol
And my own dear Linda, it's so obvious u r trying so hard 2 please many of diz so called celebrities. To remain a successful blogger to have 2 pay more attention 2 facts and truth dan sentiments.
With Love - JesseO

You were not wrong because you were not apologising about your blog, you apologised for the comments she received. To me she doesn't even deserve an apology she conducted herself like a child and said some hurtful things. After all did you force her to pose with the phone?
Nonsense lady, I have no respect for her and she's a 'UN Peace Ambassador'. - God help her

qmoney said...

Couldn't even use her words,she had to use "failed model" like Tonto,yeah she's a failed model yet still looks better than u'll ever look susan..her blog is all she has yet she gets paid monthly,u aren't in any movies susan,ur only claim to fame is ur porsche&d parties u attend....What proper movie have u acted in recent times.....Hope u sha took d positives from d comments,go&sell d blackberry&use d money to treat ur skin,u don't only need a publicist,u also need a stylist.....Ur I.Q is so low,u think say na only u get porsche u had to pose in a picture with it......Halima Abubakar dey pose wit property,others are posing with their adorable kids,u are there showin off ur terrible skin&pink lipstick....RETARD!!!!

Linda, once again, you've shown what a classy human being you are! You didn't have to apologise to Susan but by apologising, you only showed how sensitive and caring you are about the feelings of others. It is a quality to applaud rather than condemn. You didn't let yourself or your readers dwon by apologising. But susan, on the other hand, made an even bigger jackass of herself both by her rantngs against you on twitter and by publishing what was a DM from you. She dispaly what a low class human she really is. Truth be told, you've achieved way more than two-bit no-talent actor wanna-bes like susan and her ilk will ever achieve in their life times. Hold your head up knowing you are a class act all round. I'm proud of you!

EPIC FAIL!!!!!! Ki ni mo wi




EPIC FAIL
Where do I begin. This story has failed beyond Compare, for s many reasons, you are inclusive Linda

1. The babe obviously isn't that versed in the art of being a celebrity because no full fledged correct person goes off on twitter based on what commenters said, and she went very hard on Linda personally

2. The nerve of this lady saying the blog used her to shine, that's a little funny I'll say

3. Apart from the fact that this post has given her some kinda publicity, she has now just woken up the monster because I'm sure may surpass all the comments she got on the original post

4. Now on to you Linda, you have been compromised, this indefinitely not your finest hour I can tell you that. She dissed you and then you apologized because you thought she was feeling bad,mi don't get that, nothing in her post said feeling bad or low, she had her guns blazing.

Now I'm going to sit back and see where ths goes

funkysoft said...

we all have different opinions about whether you were right or you were wrong in apologizing to Susan,but so far your explanation towards your apology is well understood,my question for susan is this "IF YOU DIDNT WANT PEOPLE TO COMMENT,WHY DID YOU POSE WITH THE PORSCHE PHONE"knowning fully well the picture is all over the internet?
she should know for her to have posed with the phone as if she is showing off an award is enough to gather different comments from people, so why the bashing and ranting and raving on twitter abusing people for expressing their thoughts?
she seriously needs to go to anger management classes and learn how to deal with fans, cause whether she likes it or not she is still going to get lots of bashing from people when they read all the nasty things she wrote on twitter
Susan without your "FANS" YOU ARE NOTHING, SO LEARN TO APPRECIATE PEOPLE AND TAKE CRITICISM ALSO, IT IS NOT TO RUBBISH YOU BUT FOR YOU TO KNOW WHERE TO STEP UP OR TONE DOWN IN YOUR WAYS

All you did was post a picture that she made available, so you did not have to apologise but that was nice and grown up of you to.
Linda, you have come a long way and one thing I like about you is that you learn and keep getting better and better. That is more than Tonto and Susan can say for themselves.

Your blog is a mixure of gossip, entertainment, fun, trash (yes that too)information, reality and everything inbetween. People come to your blog because you allow different opinions and not afraid to take the abuse yourself. The stupid woman shared a picture of her tacky self and we all called her out on it. You are very good at something and she is not, keep it moving.

Lolade said...

I wonder why you apologised in the first place. Susan Peters already showed from all her rantings that she is a complete "omo alata". She's got no manners what so ever so you ought to have dissociated yourself and not made any further contacts.

And really, Linda, saying "people will always talk" is an insult to your readers. We are entitled to our opinion.

http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2012/03/actress-susan-peters-shows-off-her-2.html

I did not bother to read that news b4. But the controversy she generated made me to read every comments there. I commend my fellow posters for their pointed criticism. Can u imagine how she lifted her BB Porsche trophy with her manly hand? he he he

Seriously, this agbaya lady fall hand. I dey shame for her.

This is why I don't follow Nollywood actress, because most of them are low-life insecure bunch.

Tell me how this lady will evoke my respect. She aint sophisticated at all. She's too bland for my like.

She will get one message loud and clear after this. NEVER ENGAGE LINDA IN A BRAWL!!! IF YOU DO, YOU WILL LOSE OUT!!!

I hope that other Nollywood stars learns from her.

When Linda broke the news of 2Face's pregnant fiancee, I was one of the people that gave pointed criticism at 2Face. Our criticism made 2Face to propose and settle down with Annie.

So I say to Susan Peters,

1. Take care of your skin.

2. Change your wardrobe

3. Fix a better weave-on

4. Your heavy lipstick is scary

5. Above all, u need some education

6. Quit being arrogant. U have nothing. Or use part of your famed wealth to change your AKWA OCHE!

Next time, curry favour with Linda. Taking her on a frontal assualt will do an irreparable damage to you.

Did u see 2Face, Mercy Johnson, Oby and Alex O, Flavour etc reply to Linda when he published damaging news about them. NO!
Cause IF they do, they'll lose out and further draw the attention of more people to the controversy.

Finally, I agree with Linda that u hopelessly need a publicist, and some education on human relation if I may add.

I was actually wondering why u apologised. You never insulted her in the post rather the opposite. Don't u post about other celebs both home and abroad in a similar way? Why did she react like that? No wonder she's not so popular she must be a pain to work with. Her disses don't even follow...you are the number one celebrity blogger and she's not even top 20 in her own industry so who needs who to sell? Abeg let's forget her, you're giving her too much attention people will now know who she is -_-

Anonymous said...

lINDA, You SHOULD NOT have apologised at all, all you did was post a picture and in the world of advanced technology these days, everyone has the right to comment, so your apology was very unprofessional. You have to stand UP and take responsibility for your blogging job. You cant keep nursing everyones ego. Majority of your posts leads to lots of abuse on the subject matter. Are you going to say sorry to every tom dick and harry. You only apologise if the story is 'FALSE'. Learn from daily mail etc. As for Susan, she is a total bush girl. Nigerian stars need to ignore rubbish talk and focus on there business. She has no class whatsoever and should not even have addressed the comments on your blog on her twitter. Stars get abused daily on websites all over the world,its the price you pay!

In my opinion you did the right thing and like you said you have a conscience. I do understand why Susan was mad though, even if she is an entertainer, you have no right to take peoples pictures off twitter or facebook or whatever social media sites (even if they put it on there for the world to see) without their consent it is a breech of personal space and privacy. If Susan wanted the "rest" of the world to see her phone, believe me she would have contacted you and other entertainment blogs.

I think on your part you should let the matter rest. You acted like the mature one and apologized if she is still going on about it no wahala, if other blogs and media outlets are talking about it so be it.

Good job for being the "bigger one" :) let this matter go. Your readers will still support you. Over the years I have watched you grow and you have become a class act please lets keep it that way. Thanks

Urchman said...

Well, it just shows this girl who I haven't heard of in my whole life is crass, moreover what's the biggy about her pix shown holding a phone that only seems to be popular in Naija? This just beats me. Well Linda , to stop the beefing u were the ' bigger man' and did right by apologising which was so cool and mature. Regarding the stupid article that tried insulting you indirectly stating u were not a journalist, they should take a cue and find out what blogging is about and which people blog. There is nothing wrong in failing, people fail all the time , regroup and succeed and that is why the USA is a great country. This Susan is the epitome of beinguncouth. I wonder where she grew up, the environment her family lived and which schools she attended? These and more go a long way in modelling one's future

theladygenius said...

There was no need for you to apologise to anyone for reporting factual info, no malice was intended; you know what's funny is the fact her twitter bio describes she is a UN ambassador for peace...now isn't that ironic

Jaja said...

To be perfectly honest, I never heard of Susan Peters till you put up the post about the BB Porsche, and even then I wasn't even interested enough to actually read the story cos I thought it was childish, insecure and totally irresponsible for any one, much less a working Nollywood actor to spend that much money on a phone. Anyway I feel you did not owe her any apology whatsoever seeing as she had confirmed her small-mindedness and immaturity by publicly abusing you on twitter. She could have contacted you privately about the story if she had any iota of gumption or sense.
Having said that, your excuse that you apologized because she felt bad is really pathetic Linda. Do you realize how many of your stories cause people to feel bad either directly or indirectly? Some may not contact you and just choose to move on, how many of them will you apologize to? So you might as well include apologies in all your posts cos you never know who you may offend. Heck some of your readers might even take offense at some of your posts, do you apologize to each and every one of them? Why should Ms Peters' case be any different? she isn't even really a celebrity for that matter. So in conclusion, I believe your apology was completely out of place and totally uncalled for in this situation.

Linda,you're not a stereotyped journalist, that's why most of us keep coming back to your blog. The guys who carried the news of the apology are only seeking attention.

Susan Shit! Or whats ur effin name. U can only b a duchess to the 'idiots' and not the 'idomas'. Little fame and some freaking changes has been turning ur damfool personality. Try to learn or be taught on public etiquette. That people comment does not mean its LI's thought. She was even tryin 2 b matured n render a very personal apology which was not even meant to b rendered though, then u went gaga with that. Who even care abt u on dt twitter? #ARROGANTmiscreant.
Linda! Continue d good work. Am sure she would av wanted to have blog tho 2 complement her bollocks she called career. #KEEPitUPbabe. I rep u 4 life.

Anonymous said...

LOL! If you feel bad and you want to apologize, apologize. But if you do apologize, you may need to take the post down to show that you also do not care for the comments. Apologizing and keeping the post on seems a bit hypocritical to me. Of course if you take the post down you may lose credibility in the eyes of your commenters, so at the end of the day you have a choice to make. *Inserts "with great power comes great trouble and you must deal with it" face* As for Susan Peters...LWKMD. Seriously? Did she steal the phone? If she bought it with hard-earned money or she got it as a gift, why should it bother her what people say? And if it bothers her, she should come on LIB to attack the commenters who are the actual haters and see the astronomical power of Naija bad belle. In fact she may never act again because of the way angry Nigerians can kill self-confidence. The other option is for her to sell the phone and donate the money to an orphanage so her generosity can be featured on LIB and we can all say what a wonderful person she is lol. That way she can sleep easy. Because she has found scapegoat twitter will not rest... LMAO.

Molara Brown said...

I have been waiting for you to make a post on this.

Linda, you disappointed me with that apology. Like the post said, it you were truly a professional, you should know that it is not your fault and you should not be held
responsible for comment or opinion of people on your blog.

And as for the failed actress who called you a failed human being, she is the dumbest of them all. what if she had gotten those vicious attack from 'dailymail' or 'Necole Bitche'or the father of them all Perez Hilton, she will jumb inside lagoon abi.

Well I respect you for your apology but biko don't ever try that again.

Anonymous said...

Linda, please dont mind this attention seeking, ego-bruised mumu, who cant accept the truth. You apologised because you are humane and also to make her feel better. She has a shallow mind and that was why she made your private apology public. Is it to proof to the world that she cant be messed with or what? Linda, you only proved ur salt that u r more matured. But professionally, you need not apologise cos you are not responsible for what people think about her. You have achieved so much within a short while thru your hardwork, unlike Susan, how many movie she don act sef? We all know she is a coded whore who uses acting as a frontier. She shld clear her moustach before she goes out/snap another picture.

Dear Linda

You have the loyalty of your readers and I speak for myself when I say I have fallen for personality and you seem like a good person. I can see why you apologised because it makes the real world easier if you have deal with this people. Hugs

Now MADAME SUSAN PETERS is the lowest of the low. I did not know her before you posted the picture do she should be thanking you for getting her name out there. She is not classy and her reaction to the picture is grossly exaggerated and uncalled for! She is irrelevant and would continue to do so. Peace ambassador my arse. Abegi

Seyi said...

My dear Linda,

This just shows how RAZZZZZZZZZZZ this girl is. This Susan Peters must be crazy. Did she read your post at all. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what you posted. It's called News... and you really didn't need to apologise.

I had to go back to the original post, if anything what you did was pump up her ego. For those, who need a link to go back to the story (http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2012/03/actress-susan-peters-shows-off-her-2.html)

I think you should ignore her, she has just shown how BUSH she is. Like this article states, she needs to hire a publicist. Any celeb (in his/her right state of mind) wouldn't send rants on twitter.
