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...
I never should apologize again, no matter what? Or was my apology OK? Please let me know what you think...
895 comments:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 895 Newer› Newest»I think you were decent enough to apologise. But like you said in your apology note, 'people will always talk'. She obviously wasn't matured enough to handle that apology. So Linda, keep your head up and keep doing your thing.
If ur conscience told u dat u shud apologize, den u were not wrong to do so. However, u didn't publish a pic/story of her dat was false or derrogatory, so d Nigeria Bulletin ppl were right in saying dat as a journalist, u shouldn't have apologised. Learn from dis sha, No More Personal Apologies for publishing true stories objectively. BTW, u are NOT a 'failed human being' in anyway. Most folks don't know d magnitude of work involved in running 'Just a Blog', only a fellow blogger would understand. Plus ur blog is currently No.1 in Naija, its not beans.
*Abeg Linda, do a give-away wit 1 of dos ur Amazing weaves abeg. Love!
Wetin dey worry dat fake old woman sef.. Jus saw all her tweets n shows she's local n from d ghetto.. Linda, abeg no mind am, she's a proper money miss road...runs gal cum actress...mtssschhhew...ur apology definitely showed maturity n thank God Ʋ dint respond to any of her rants.. These our stars in nigeria hav a lot to learn from hollywood PR..Ʋ get porsche , Ʋ no get PR manager wey go help cover d shit wey full ur mouf.. Nonsense
#Mtcheeeew....Correct omo alata....I never really knew her until I read about her on ur blog so u did her a huge favour...Susan Peters or whatever ur name is, ur public show of shame on twitter goes to tell how razz, imature n nanimal-brained u r...get a life n a plastic surgery on ur mouth area!
Linda ur apology shows how mature u r n if dat would make d mumu shut her trap den u did d right thing buh pls dnt ever apologise to anyone n never mention her name on this Blog....Duchess of Idoma my foot!
#Queeny!
You didn't do wrong by sending her a Dm, but next time, don't apologize to nobody....
Apologising is like u bin a coward, dis bullshit,am out of here
you know you did not mean the apology. so no P.
meanwhile you guys keep calling her an actress,when last did she act?even when she was acting,what notable thing did she act?It is like being treated for an ailment by Bukola Saraki simply because he went to medical school over 25years ago.That is a recipe for disaster.
This girl will remain the butt of jokes as long as she has no discernible source of large living and continues to force her face in the public for no reason.what is she popular for again?
All these runs girls should stop claiming actress and model jo!
meanwhile i hope you have also prepared your sarcastic apology for Ebube?
Next time, tell her to hit her head on the wall if e pain her 2 much. Na ur fault say she no too sabi? She bought the damn phone and posed with it and she is angry that people yabbed her instead of her to be happy that people even remember who she is.
HABA! DID SHE HAVE TO ESCALATE IT LIKE THIS. THE SUSAN PETERS GIRL (YES! I CALLED HER GIRL....NO SELF RESPECTING WOMAN WOULD RANT IN PUBLIC D WAY SHE DID) OBVIOUSLY LACKS FINESSE, HENCE SHE WAS REFERRED TO AS OMO OTA. I SAW THE PICTURE, SHE WAS INDEED POSING WITH D PHONE. SMALL MINDED GIRL.....SO MUCH FOR A UN AMBASSADOR....smh NO ONE IS USING U TO SHINE, PPL WITH REAL MONEY AND CLASS DONT MAKE NOISE.
LINDA, I DONT THINK IT WAS WRONG OF YOU TO APOLOGISE TO THE GIRL, IT SIMPLY SHOWS YOUR HIGH LEVEL OF MATURITY AND INTEGRITY. IGNORE THOSE BAD BELLE PPL JARE, ITS COS DEY R NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS U R. DON'T LET DEM BRING U DOWN HON!
UN ambassador for peace????????????????????????????????
I know it's journalism but Linda its also your personal blog so u can apologise of you really feel bad about something. I guess this is what happens when your achievements gets bigger than the person. Anyway I thought the apology was really mature.
Sincerely, ur apology made it seem u r twofaced, by using "that blog" and "pple will alwaz talk"(u kissed her arse)if u knew she was goina make it public wuld u hv used those lines?I tink both of u r jst clutchin straws, I did'nt coment on dat post, but if I did u'v gravely offended me by dat apology.I expect a professional apology if there was any need for it....humans....NENI
Linda, I respect your blog a whole lot. I too have taken blows on your blog but we all know its journalism and the quest for information not that you want to hurt. You shouldn't have apologized to Susan Peters for sharing information with your readers. She just showed the ugly part of her and all the name calling was below the belt. Despite all, you've proved you are human just try to separate the feelings next time.
Personally I think Susan P ws over reacting, LIB wrote u acquired bb porsche wsnt a lie now. A true celebrity knows hw to ignore the media and kip your fans guessing. Take a cue from Geneive & Beyonce
First, you are not responsible for the comments of your readers. Secondly, you can't go apologising to everyone just to make them feel good.
Thirdly, I mean she actually posed for the picture with the phone as the main subject so what did she expect?
Dat gurl is very very stupid o, who cares if she helps ppl or nt,must she announce it. nonsense gurl. True linda ma ril gurl if nt 4 u I didn't even know dat der is sum1 kald Susan peters, she gainned xtra popularity with u. Kip d gud work up.
linda, nothing about that blackberry post was malicious and deserves no apology whatsoever...and your apology to her seems like u let us down bt its all good, we all make mistakes! as long as ur stories are true u have no damn business apologising to anyone...keep ur head up..love u all d same
At the end of the day you have to do what makes you sleep better at night, not what your readers think is right. You apologized because you wanted to and because it was the nice thing to do. You came off as the bigger person and as long as you are at peace with that, you are good to go.
So, we are now the "people who will always talk", abi? No be your fault na.
YES!!! What do u mean people will always talk..dats us now d mugus commenting atink.she sha finished you.failed model ntorr gi
Better publish this.thin yeye girl oshii
Linda I don't understand u o! Y did u apologize. It now seemed like u were asskissing. Did u apologize to sarah ofili or naeto c and nicole or all the other 'celebrities' that people have misyarned about at some point or the other. This susan babe is just really insecure. See now she went to go n rant on twitter n put ur DM out there. Obviously she was being sarcastic when she said 'apology accepted'. Ur like the most controversial blogger in naija yet ur forming apology, so when u say u don't care if she likes u or what she thinks about u, that apology just proves otherwise.
U fall my hand babes.
Ok...i take back my initial comment. I didn't read her twitter posts before i left my comment. You shouldn't have apologized simply because of all the insults she sent your way. You should have just ignored her. She is very immature.
I'm going to google her now to know exactly who she is. I don't think i've seen any of her movies.
Very wrong dear, you shouldn't have apologized.
Nah, you shouldn't have. SP is just being an idiot and I've said that much on yeoal where I first saw the twitter rants.
Sweetheart, na becos she no sabi ur influence; that same pics was on JimmySonde and it had less than 5 comments, you put it up here, it got over 200 comments. She should have just taken the piss (find some humorous angle or something to tie to the whole brouhaha and get herself some new fans/ffs).
Linda, apologies are for peace not who is right or wrong.You did the right thing.And you are a wise woman for that.
You are the bigger person. If Linda is a failed model, then Susan is a failed failure. Silly twat! Who poses with a phone? Mgeke oshi! Shettt!
That babe is a certified village mumu! Most of the comments were about her ugly face, who frigging cares about her nonsense porsche? When she buys a private jet and has oil blocks in iraq she should holla. Foolish mumu. Linda, u decided to apologise cz it felt right n I don't see any issues with that, at least u slept with a lighter conscience. Even the susan sef, which money she get? Jealous bitch. Linda rock on jor! U rock n we love you!! Shame for bad people
Linda,you did no wrong by doing so via DM...but she(i hate to mention her name for what she did)is not well for making your DM public....we are all human and i like you more for that.Your days will be ever longer on this earth.Is well with You@linda
Gracious Linda...I see nothing wrong with the stuff you posted & the manner susan reacted...it shows class & standard both babes are made of...but I think judging by your overwhelming success...its hi time LIB get a public perception manager..cos most of the stuff the babe yaab u about where private stuff you reveal about yourself...your target audience are folks outside the shoresof naija.. upward mobile folks who only want to pick info back home real time...so you are passing across the right message..this susan episode is just a page in your success story...but if truth be told ...you should brush yourself up with masters degree..& online courses to better position u to higher glory cos someday u might be called upon for a postion of leadership in govt ...Linda u are the star ..Susan or whatever her name is...is shitty ..money spent on the bb porshe could have been used to vegetate her cos the hand holding the smartphone looks hagard..rough & unkept...ride on Linda ..we dey feel u here in Cardiff..
Its a good thing you apologised.Gotta keep things calm and maintain peace. Remain your peaceful self!
You should not have apologized, after all you meant no harm,so fire down
Who is this susan peters sef?? She needs to sit down somewhere abeg. I never actually knew who she was until u posted her and i still dont know or give a rats ass. I dont think you should have apologised.
www.mrcrowne.blogspot.com
Pls Linda dnt ever apologize again.As for dat bitch called suzan peters,She's a failed actress.Let her get a life&stop fucking white men for blackberry.Msheeeeew!Good Riddance 2 Bad Rubbish.We Love U Lindaaaaaaa
I totally concur with Nigeria Bulletin...
hi linda, i don't think you should have apologized. Especially because of the way she abused you. Also you need to be careful, there are stories circulating that you are getting paid and bribed to make stories and posts go away. Don't destroy what you have built....Your no. 1 fan and supporter
Hey Linda, I don't see a problem with the apology, it was quite mature. I don't know who Susan Peters is but as a public figure she needs to learn a bit more social etiquette, hers are sadly lacking in finesse. Cheers~
You know very well you are dead wrong otherwise you should not be asking. In journalism, you don't apologize for a true story!
Sincerely speaking Linda, I am on the passive readers of your blog sites for another perspective to know what is happening in our cosmossphere and I must admit you are doing a great stuff which have put you in a good book as a reference point to online journalism. To this in reaction to the undeserved bashing you received from Susan Peters, who claimed he is a big celebrity knock common self in its head. For the avoidance of doubt, what you reported to me is a spot on pictureq story which commentators are at liberty to relate with based on their selective perception and I beg to refrain fro using vile words that she does not deserved unwarranted apology you tendered on the wake of the unengaging vituperation coming from Ms Peter.Continuing doing your thing and let whoever feel that sentimental about your blog content should sue you for defamation and if there is nothing to sue, they should jump at the lagoon for ease of life.The apology is an honest mistake taken to the limit of amnesia by Ms Peter, now she feeling like a celebrity that she is not over the issue. Why on earth will a forgotten Hollywood pastime pose with a phone and yet expect it not to be a media reaction? maybe the sore point of the picture was the colour intensity of the picture that does the image of the artist in a bad light with all the freckles of skin shown. That is expected but an apology is unwarranted.Thank YOU
Linda u owe nobody an apology.. No mind the nigerian entertainers who dont know how to handle press... We love you Linda!!! LIB'male reader 4rm Canada
Ghen ghen!! *frying sese and scubia fish and soaking garri*, action wan start! lemme make myself comfor'able *wey dis yeye mat self?*
I never comment, but this really irritated me. There is no reason for you to apologize. You posted a picture that she herself made public, the commenters wrote their feelings. I have no idea who this woman is, but her tweets portray her as an ignorant money-miss-road person
What you shud do is stop blogging about these useless so called celebs, you only make them feel they are something which infact they aren't.
Susan, How dare u Insult my precious one. God punish and destroy ur your career, whatsoever you does, Idiot asshole. Nonsense girl. Linda, why apologies for that stupid Idiot girl. Who is she by the way?
yes u were wrong to apologise to her, after all d insults u received. I liked her before but after reading all the said, i think she is so immature it's almost pathetic.
Darling ur appology was 100% okay! Even perez hilton the #1 blogger in America, appologised to Jennifer Aniston when she called him a "Mean Person" after one of his posts! I don't know why she made it public tho! But she needs to get a PR to handle such things instead of ranting on twitter, or she should develop a thick skin & ignore such things! Either way, ur appology was okay!
Stupid Susan
personally i think you did great trust me she said all sorts + now she cant take it back
I have no clue what happened/didn't happen but i find it hilarious that the lady is a UN Ambassador for peace and she has a tongue like a guttersnipe.
Honestly, some women should just calm down....never heard of her before but does she want to be remembered for all the wrong reasons?
Linda perhaps seeing as your readership appears to be growing you ought to be more professional in your approach IF you want to be taken seriously. Note, I said IF after all it is your personal blog.
Well if it makes you and susan sleep well at night sure why not, the last time I checked you are not a professional journalist and just a blogger, as for susans ranting the world doesnt revolve around you my dear even if you think so, nice phone all the same.
Tara
Its good you apologised but dnt do it again cs it will backfire...love you hun
Well be rest assured Yahoo News you're not, more like mediatakeout. Your responsibility is not to report unbiased news. You look for inflammatory posts that generate comments and clicks. It's all about business to you. What's worrisome is a so called "journalist" holding you to any journalistic standards. You would think he should know better.
you shdnt have apologised. is she first person that ur readers are insulting on your blog... after all the ways she insulted you and your sista on twitter, linda, u still went and apologized to her. that was quite daft of you. sorry to say. are you a coward? or are u trying to court her favor or is she your special friend? whats the basis for the apology? how come you'v never apologised to anyone before? whats so special about her?
Don't ever apologize again. Susan P is a black fat agbaya....
U werent wrong in granting the apologia,but this susan peters or what the bleep her name is fall my hand...her reaction was too egregious!!!and i promise her a diss track as soon as i finish my exam...@linda(flyest)dnt let them bring u down,and pls stop the apologies,its a free world.if LIB IS PISSING U OFF GO CHECK UR BLADDER OR TRANSPLANT UR KIDNEY!!!
As a blogger, if you did something majorly wrong, then you should apologize.
This crazy woman, starts ranting and you apologize? Haba Linda. Going by that, you're going to be apologizing every day lol.
Only apologize in extreme cases, and you be the judge of that. Susan Peters' was not extreme.
Don't even know what Susan Peters does, went on her twitter and read the tweets, she's so immature #fail. Just cos there's no papparazi in Nigeria lol
Dear Linda, you dont own her any appologies ok, you shouldnt written to her at all. She is in the public glare and she should be prepared to take any bashing that comes her way;besides that is one of the pains that comes with being a celeb. I think her rantings are baseless, she has no point, she should have been grateful to you for even identifying with her ok. Kudos girl and dnt let no one pull you down.
Hey Linda, I totally agree with Nigeria Bulletin. If you intend to always apologise when people don't like what you publish, then don't bother publishing. People will always interpret a publication anyway they like, your only duty is to report facts. Anyways, we all get it wrong once in a while, so don't beat yourself up over it...keep your head up!
It is wrong to apologise wen u knw the story is true,for d 1st time I'm disappointed in u, now to dat bush n village girl dat is posing with liability so if u come buy asset nko u go tell everybody to vacate d universe u be mumu
Linda you obviously annoyed her with that post but you have also hurt other people with your blog. have you apologized to them? why her? it only makes it look like your partial to some peoples feelings.
You never should have put up the post in the first place. If you want yourself to be viewed as a professional blogger/ journalist (whatever you guys call yourselves), you should stay away from meaningless posts which add no informational value whatsoever to the reader.
The writer telling you to take a cue from Yahoo! news as regards never apologizing should have also asked you to take a cue from the same site on professional reporting.
Have you ever seen where it made headlines on Yahoo news that Halle Berry bought the latest ipad? or that Anne Hathaway bought the latest Chervolet SUV? Such frivolities don't make news because they are NOT NEWSWORTHY! And let's not forget the lawsuit that would be slapped on the ass so hard that the journalist wouldn't be able to sit for weeks should he/she make the mistake of posting something that could damage the celebrity's image.
You cannot call yourself a professional and at the same time pander to sensationalism. You cannot compare your blog to people.com and at the same time, indulge in the same manner of reporting at TMZ! like the good book says, you cannot serve two masters at a time! You must choose! Either you're a professional or a sensationalist who'd rather splash the details of people's personal lives all over the internet just for personal gain.
The rate at which journalism in Nigeria is fast sinking into decadence is rather saddening. Someone posted on twitter one day that : Journalists say the pen is a mighty tool but some of their colleagues beg to disagree; for those ones, money holds more power. In my opinion Linda, your blog leans more towards the latter. You wouldn't mind indulging in unprofessional journalism just to get traffic to your blog which will only translate to one thing; MONEY thanks to advertisers.
I will never forget the backlash you received from the public for posting up the picture of Late Sam Loco Efe (RIP) in the exact state he was when he died. Was there no sense of decorum when you decided to publish that?!
I know your band of Voltrons will come teeth barring and in the mood to chew and honestly, I care about their rantings as much as I would care about what I deposit in the toilet! I've only said my own.
As for apologizing, if it was unprofessional to do, at least it was the human thing to do. You were a human being long before you became a journalist/blogger!
Linda
U were wrong to apologies because you said nothing wrong, u didn't insult her or call her names when u put up the pic....u even joked and called her 'a big girl doing big things'.
I was surprised when I saw her rants on twitter because it was woo uncalled for. No shots were fired, she wrong wrong attacking you. As for the comments, she is a celebrity therefore she should be used to the fact that everyone must not like her, either for her lack of acting skills or personally.
She needs to hire a publicist because she doesnt know how to handle situations like this
Linda you did the right thing! Make she no go commit suicide because of u o, susan p obviously has deep set issues. I didn't even know her before you put her up on this blog, who is she and what has she done to be famous? At least you have a credible job! never apologise for it, could she and a lot of other people make the blog work? Or live off it? She was truly raving on twitter like a mental omo ita smh. She has issues, why take this picture and make it public anyway? So no one should have an opinion? The picture was not flattering, should LIB readers lie? Get over it susan, you no fine and you should have used the money you used to buy that phone to sort out ur skin! Linda well done, free speech...continue ur work jare
Simon
For those that want to bash linda for apologising pls remember dt no one knows you,most of you come in here to comment trash about others under 'anonymous' and @ the end of the day,linda has to take the heat for your shit talk so cut her some slack abeg
Honestly this was so childish of Susan Peters. She claims she is a celebrity but acts like a bush child. Linda u did what u did and at the end of the day it is what it is...ur the best!
Houda Burke.
Did u say "people will always talk"? U put it there to elicit ccomments, did'nt u? Smdh..I tink u shld get ur priorities straight..and dat woman susan peters dat is almost hittin 40, and actin like a stuffed up kid, u can like to shutup n get busy..or beta sleep
After readin all susan peters tweet its so obvious she has d mind/thinkin of a mentally challenged person...u claim to b a celebrity n ure upset by a blog post.Linda u hav apologised,its gone bt she still sent ahead to make it public to let d whole world know u apologised,which once again confirms her similarities to a mentally challenged person.Susan pls grow up.Linda keep givin us dis gists nd whoever doesn't like it shud go and hug a transformer or dance on a barb wire
Linda,im actually disappointed dat u apologized.if your story wasnt true,then by all means,you can.but in this case,its glaring to all and i see no reason why you should have "hey babe"d her..totally uncalled for.........and to you Susan Peters,one word..TWAT
Linda my word of advice.stop giving us news bout d properties these celebs acquire. Like she rightly said.is she d first to buy such. Somethings U post don't deserve to b posted.u just gave her publicity without her paying for it and look wat she says.its her money and she can do wateva she likes wit it
wat's wit d ''multiple award winning actress, duchess of idoma, etc'' ad on ha profile? She's just a braggin a**hole!
i think u shldnt hv apologized to her....she acted too immature,i used to like her buh nt anymore.
buh Linda e be lyk say u fuck up sha.
Linda, you should not have apologised, she choose to be in the public eye therefore her skin has to be thicker than that!!!
Linda we undastnd why u did wat u did buh tk a que from dis n neva apologise for any article posted here rightly. Susan peters is a big old fool @ her age c how she is venting. C all d hate spewing from her system all bcos of a jab @ her. If she isnt d 1st person to buy blackberry why take a picture wit it lyk an ngbeke!! Ugly old hag. Who d fuck knws her n where dos she get off calling u a failed model n human being!! Dis lyf na jeje her tym will soon pass. Weda its only blog u av, u av something n u av dedicated readers who adore u. Can dat old hag susan lay claim to dat?
He/She that apologizes is the most matured regardless of the situation, it shows, you are peace loving. your DM to her even makes a lot of sense, one the writer of that bulletin didn't see. you didn't apologize for what you wrote about her, you didn't apologize for all the comments it generated, you apologized for the insulting comments and tweets, which you were sure was getting to her. that's within ethics I think. Some of these people we call actors, artiste role models most times act like illiterate as far as the media is concerned.outside a script or lyrics page, they are complete morons
Linda, you will not like my comment but it serves you right.
You always want people to praise you after buying cars, so why bitch Susan Peters for her phone. That is what she wants to do with her money. OK!
I don't like how your sister got into this and it is a lesson for her too. You did not show us what your sister's tweet was all about.
Your explanation is 0 and you lost hands down. You probably wrote all that hype while you were angry. You now want your hundreds of readers to attack Susan Peters for you.
Good luck with you and your blog but you cannot play a celebrity and report news the way you do properly.
But Linda, I see nothing wrong in your apologies, wars will not be if we all learn to give peace a chance. It is left for Peters to accept and retract her insults. Wish Peters well, most of us are sick, depressed, so we need expect helps, so do so now, to avoid big time shame.
Hi linda, I'm a fan of your blog and don't worry, I aint offended coz as much as we chat rubbish on this blog its all in good spirit and as a joke or whatever, at least that's me. As much as I think you shouldn't have responded to the uncouth beast susan peters, that has been done and I see your reason behind it, you were trying to be the bigger man and just end her obvious tears and frustration. You could have come down to her level and even responded to her calling you a failed model/human being! (Who does that!) And what's annoying is you didn't even write anything bad about her! She said you are using her name to shine! Who IS she? Not even being a bitch but I swear I've never heard of this woman before. Linda the apology has happened, its fine... Let's just move on and please stop making this woman popular.
I'm highly disappointed at susan peters,how belittling can she be?dere's no big deal in dis whole thing.if she hadn't posed for d phone to be tkn,which I see as a show off,it wldnt hv being online,so wots d fuss abt?besides,who d hell is Susan peters?she doesn't exist for all I care.she shd go get a beta life nd stop being childish. Linda hasn't done anything wrong,twas harmless.kai Linda u for no apologise.see Susan wey dey abuse person,is she beta?rubbish.
yes u were very wrong to apologize to Susan. There was nothing malicious in your comment.If u are a professional Journalism, u should always stand by ur words and not kiss ass by apologizing for doing a good job.To Susan Peters please grow up.To think u were made a UN ambassador of peace when clearly u don not understand the word peace from all ur ranting on twitter.What are u really teaching the Nigerian youths, to be abusive to people that make good comments about them or to take every little bit of thing said about u personal by spreading it on twitter.Why would u use the word useless, nobody is useless in dis world, we all have our usefulness.Linda keep ur head high and no editing my comments please. Job well done.
Linda Ikeji, I am disappointed in you...Was your post untrue?...hell No, so why should you apologise...that means you prefer to massage the ego of one brainless non existent actress instead of giving us the best of scoops...U fall our hand...ta lo mori,omo alata...using her name to shine?I havent heard of her before...
U said nuttin hateful bout her so i dont see any reason for d apology.Jus shows dat Susan has got some serious beef wit u nd she got d avenue to vent her jealousy cos her rantings r uncalled for.
Linda, you should not have apologised, she choose to be in the public eye therefore her skin has to be thicker than that!!!
sorry but linda that is y i will ALWAYZZ LOVE U!u hold a special place in my heart!u r just sooo lovely,kind hearted nd sooo humble!as for this idiot,.,.she just further disgraced herself and just proved to everyone dat she is an insecure twat with zero morals wey no attend skool!foolish woman!@ her age!betta publish dis!scared ko scared ni!
Apologizing shows maturity.....Yu did the right thing and I am proud of yu.
linda linda ...well, i cant say its Wrong, However, jus remember u own a blog n if u say u want to be apologisin 4 ur updates, u may lack news cos its actually such news dat draw readers to you n makes more money for you.Its jus like comedians Apologisin for usin ppl to Crack jokes n earn money. Tkia of u): ..... U-GEE
Neva heard of her if not 4 d BB porshe story dat u promoted her name......Ingrate.Dumb.Ass
feel its ok.Apologies dont change u bt suituations and better relationships
Linda, you should never apologize to anyone. you are a blogger and doing your job, if she cant take the heat she needs to get out of the kitchen. i read the article and compared to the stories you have posted about other people, this is a non issue in my opinion. i am quite surprised by the way she reacted though, it seems Susan Peters was spoiling for a fight with you all along. Personally, i think she is jealous of you though.
yeah its ok.Apologies dnt change u bt the suituation and better relationships.
Really u no suppose apologize.she be public figure so she suppose no as eey dey go...
The apology just make it seem like you intimidated by her somehow sha...my opinion
hello,linda,u dissapointd me,koz u dont ve 2beg her,aftall,she cald u a failed nd blive dat's an insult of a life time.so begging her minz she is alrdy avin her cake nd also eat it.u re a professional journalist nd any news u publish do not dmands apology weda its controversial or not.but i knw dat d abuse wil make u stronger 2face all d challenges of dese world.i luv u
WHY DID U APOLOGISE TO HER EVEN DOSE STUPID JOURNALIST DAT WRITE FAKE STORIES DONT,SHE SHULD BE GRATEFUL U EVEN SHOWED HER UGLY OLD HANDS ON UR BLOG-SHE ISNT WAT AN ACTRESS, BOASTING OF A PHONE SHE CANT OPERATE-WHO CARES LINDA IKEJI MY NUMBERONE-ZAGA ZAGA ZA LONI.
Linda! I have never commented on your blog and I'm a daily reader. But for the first time, I am forced to comment! I am totally disappointed in you. You owe her no freaking apology..your apology just shows two things, you are a coward and an ass kisser! I dnt mean you are, but that's what your apology to that irrelevant thing depicts.
Na wa o. This babe is really razz.If she had received glowing reviews she would not have given Linda any credit. Now thatshe has heard a awful truth she wants to burst her gut.
Even if LIB readers wanted to retaliate we can't even say we would boycott your movies.......you don't have any really.
Who are you, sef? How are you getting all these things?. Anyway, sooner than later, it'll all come to light.
Sorry, Linda but your apology was unnecessary and a bit of an ass kiss. This Susan girl is low class.
O linda! U def shld NOT av apologized! Wat xactly did u do wrng? Nothing! Her bhaviour is sooo jevinile! An adult wit sense will nt act dis way! N yes! She has bad skin!
i think u are allowing ur emotions set in.
LINDA I am soooo disappointed in you WTF! Who cares about this low life are u afraid of her?
If you apologized to her yours is to keep silent, not go around acting as if you deserve accolades for that. You've done your part. Honestly Linda, sometimes, you do come across as immature. What is the point of this post? to show you are a bigger person? Fail.
Susan Peters showed her razzness when she posted a private apology in public. Now you have just sunk to her level. Smh.
U owe her no apology. After all, u said nothn ill bou her, it was jst an innocent post f her u made. U really shldnt hv apologized.
Linda u should have ignored her.she ain't worth
Ur tym, ur readers are tripple her fan base ( if she has any).
Apology luks good but uncalled for.
Abeg who be susan peters?am kinda lost.
First of all linda,I understand your apology because you have manners and you are real and a human being unlike d susan peters who think she is a star,she should shut the fuck up and ask genevieve nnaji aw to be a real star.idiot wannabe
Linda My dear, truth is that i feel like flogging you for ur tweet to her. You should never had.
pple must talk so we shld stop readn ur blog abi.
That aside, Susan u should have laughed it off. And even placed ur ow comment.
Linda didnt pple yab u cos u displayed ur car? Me sef follow ask u if na news. So puleeez no more apologies or anything that seems like it
Apology ko, apple ni. mshhew. As in who knows this man? instead of her to b happy with her little found fame, she goes ranting like a bush woman. You shouldn't have apologized coz u ought not to be bothered. if she likes let her cry.. i think dis Susan of a thing is just razz. she can't even make proper sentences.
u should not have apologized...she is a public personality..so her posing for a picture displaying her BB ain't supposed to be a secret..if it hadn't been leaked thru ur blog...it would have been somewhere else online...So u owe no one any apologies please...unless its 'essentially' necessary....
Linda, apologizing to Susan came to you naturally because it's in your nature. You didn't think about it before bringing it out which is good but professionally, it was wrong. You did your job by putting out the picture; you don't have control over how your readers interprete the picture. The only control you had was publishing the comments (which you are obligated to anyway). Unfortunately, this is where Susan's anger lies. Before sending a DM to her you should have known she would make it public because her rants on twitter were not sent to you via DM. I can only imagine the number of people you will have to apologize to as you publish your stories because I am certain you have many more coming. And please Susan, you are a public figure so learn to make NOTHING of what you read about yourself because plenty dey come and how many of them you wan insult finish on twitter?
You really shouldn't have apologised, she's such a bitch! Who the hell does she think she is? Which yeye star is she? She was seriously tripping and you gave her an apology?! Anyway sha, it only shows you're more matured. Omo ale jatijati!
WTF......this is too much abeg! Who da fuck is Susan Peters? Who know her great grandma (iyalaya e)? Whats she feeling lik sum Indigenous Halle berry? Saying Someone is using ur wack Ass Dead name to shine...when did you join Nollywood self that you are ranting lik a bingo,mmmchewww! I really wanna puke rite now...you such an irritant to have responded to the post,if it was posted on citi people magazine or encomium wat would you have done Idiot! @Lindaikeji you are so so wrong to have appologized coz I wonder how many apologies you would have said to lots of people you blog...Damn !
You go overboard sometimes though. Your apology seems contrived and weak. I wouldn't have done it.
@ Realsusan peters God saved ur ass dat u locked ur twitter,u would have heard how ur mother conceived u...Biiiiitttccch
She is a mumu, why publish a private mail? besides new actress go come up shag the producer and directors wey she dey shag for roles then she go fade into obscurity. as for your blog na ur own untill u die it can never end unless you wanna stop blogging, as per using her to shine...............kmt today na sunday therefore i no wan insult anybody. i swear never heard about her untill the blog about her bb so Linda na you make her relevant. as for you apologising....hmmmmm u for no do it period. love u loads darling xoxo
Susan Peters is supposed to be a role model, such things should only be ranted in your bedroom not in public. She fell my hand, personally. I read the article that day and what you said did not warrant any insults, I do not know why her blood was getting hot unnecessarily. If you do something bad to someone, yea of course apologise but i just believe that this issue was blown WAYYYYY OUT of proportion. Peace and love xxxx
my dearest Linda,This is actually my first comment since l got addicted to your blog.You did the right thing .lt is most unfortunate that Susan is not broad minded.She should learn to take things the way d are.life is too short.
Linda Linda Linda!!! U fall my hand ooooooo!!! Why u go appologize to dis goat naa? She jst dey shout lyk 1 mad person wey we dey call number 6. Abeg withdraw ur appology jooor, make she go shop shit...................
Obarune
linda, is it because she exposed your mail thatt u are asking your readers what they think?
what do u mean by 'people will always talk'? after you pasted a picture of her inviting people to talk?
i think for starters you showed that u are quite an amateur blogger. learn to stick to your guns and stop placating people and using your readers as leverage.
sad!
Yeye D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ worry dis susan peters.linda no mind her joor and 4 u susan she apologised to make u feel better not becos she is afraid of U.Shuooooo na wa 4 some actress ooooo
U should have apologized actually. U shd hav known she wld make it public anyways. I mean see her rantings. Its too much & I don't even know who she is. Mayb I missed something, I shld look @ that post again. Lol
data plan on the purchase of her controversial new "BB PORCHE" to have opted to such lame and cheap attention seeking as I'd like to call it. As for Linda, apologies or not you clearly meant no harm in the referred post. Blog on my dear!
Am sorry to say,you insulted the sensibilities of your readers. You went too far with your apologies by saying "sorry about all the comments,people will always talk"..I quite agree that you have all the rights in the whole world to apologise,as a blog isn't anything close to professional journalism.But in apologising,you absolved yourself of any blame and lay everything at the door step of readers.Who posted the article in the first place? It is even good that Susan posted the DM for everyone to see because it goes to show the disregard you have for your esteemed readers including me...
The Apology was definitely not necessary. You put up her picture with the Porsche with no malicious intent whatsoever. You were right to publish comments from your readers as well.
Her rants on twitter was definitely not warranted. She insulted you and your family as well.
So you apologizing to her wasn't wrong in any way, you just showed you're the bigger person and didn't even allow her comments rile you one bit.
You've earned my eternal respect. Your readers could only be angry wiv you when you show bias and don't publish their comments
wasnt wrong to apologise and whether you apologise or not isn't the issue, the truth is you sef need to chill, why put up her picture in the first place, cos you want people flocking your blog doesn't mean you should put any rubbish thing there, I'm beginning to loose the vibe of coming to your blog sef, several rubbish story here.
Wht d u expect susan peters?? Wen u bath commot 4 ur house go flaunt bb porche. No b u first buy but na u b d first wen I knw becos u show me.Hissssssss i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ Urhobo jare
You should never apologize, your a journalist, not only that you only posted a picture and didnt write any false story around it. if that where the case all international news agencies would be apologizing to hollywood stars for all the fake stories they write about them....its just that Nigerian celebrities crave spotlight but are not ready to face the consequence, i read uk and american blogs and if you see the way they bash their celebrities but do they apologize? nada..... if you wan start apologizing get ready to apologize to everyone you hurt on your blog...
Dnt ever apologize as far as the story is true!
yes its very unprofessional to apologise without court order. You can just let her run her mouth like public tap. Even the phone hacking scandals of news international in the UK. Murdochs never apologise private or public.
But Linda where u get the picture self. i hope dis ur blog no go put u in2 yawa, no lele sha, we dey ur back
If you jokers use all this energy to fight politicians, life would be better for younger generations. When did buy a $2500 bb becomes an achievement?? Colonial mentality at worst! The $2500 bb sef, no be from fucking politician it came from?? Useless people, wrong priorities.
Dnt ever apologize as far as the story is true!
No.U shldnt ve apologised.D reason she was pissed off ws bcoz of d negativer responses,if it had been otherwise she wldnt ve bn bothered at all.
Desecrated old cargo.If d phn wsnt a big deal to her why did she pose with it?
She jst ended up making a fool of herself.
Suzan peters is a goat!!I swear down..well,linda u shouldn't av apologised,its pointless.buh I dnt blame you sha.
yes its very unprofessional to apologise without court order. You can just let her run her mouth like public tap. Even the phone hacking scandals of news international in the UK. Murdochs never apologise private or public.
But Linda where u get the picture self. i hope dis ur blog no go put u in2 yawa, no lele sha, we dey ur back
And pls do not filter the comments jst to please her.
Linda I'm one of ur readers dat rarely comments but I've to bcos I'm totally dissappointed in you.firstly,u don't have any biz apologising 2dat untamed and razz woman called Susan Peters!she's d one who put out her d picture in d ist place so y dint she prepare herself for the comments dat wud come wit it?
Secondly,at this
who the hell is susan peters? multiple award winning actress? from?????????she has a cute face and thats all i can say.....as for you linda, your apology to her was wrong..i saw nothing wrong with your post about susan....you are a blogger for crying out loud, some will find your posts interesting while others will hate them....
susan peters: juvenile celebrity of all time....
Itz obvious which ever site wrote dat piece iz hating on lindaz blog...letz face it lindaz blog is the widely read blog both in naija n abroad..so dey shd jst STFU...haterz oshi....letz see hw many comments u av on ur blog...as for dat trash Susan peters...u av neva been a very successful actress n u will neva be...i cant rememba seeing a movie or even d poster wer u r d lead actress..d awards u got lastyr it clear u did mago mago to get to...abi u wan stand near wear dem omotola ini genny n even Nse..so u can lyk to sit back...if u dint want d picture to b publc y did u tk a pic holdn d fone in d 1st place..abeg go sidon...PS...try and use d remaining change from the porsche u bought n invest in some good skincare products...ur hands are very unapealing to d sight...Yucky!!
Linda u did the right thing,u r truly classy,why rant and rave like a lunatic Susan,neva even watched her movies before,u having a blog my dear is better than her being an actor,if ur modeling career fucked up like she says,its nobodies business,uve a blog that you should be proud of,I understand why u felt the need to apologize cos she wAs taking it 2 be such a big deal,doesn't she know how to take critism,they yab u almost everyday on ur blog and yet u make fun of it,My dear u were right in all but dis shld teach u it isn't every1 who has class like u do,she's definately a lowlife if not she wouldn't be insulting d fans as well as u. Love u dear and remember u Rock!Muah!
i'm beyond shocked she reacted this way and worst of all said some of the things she said....it goes a long way 2 show d kind of person she is, not even the showbiz glitz and glamour could hide it...hpe no organization would one day use her as ambassador 4 something cuz dat wld be soo messed up...so obvious that susan peters is sooo low and nywayz i've alwyz bin of the opinion that she tries 2 hard 2 fit in..and not like shez a nollywood star or A-list sef (she wouldn't need to try if she was niwayz)....i understand where nigeria bulletin is coming from,but since d apology wasn't to hurt we your fans and readers of ur blog like you said dats cool...in my opinion apologizing to her just shows who the better person is not like u did anyfin wrong niwayz...its so funny that shez "UN ambassador for peace"...hpe its a joke ooo.
Linda dear, watin bi dat gal name again, cus if not of you how i go even know she exist. I guess she just mentally cheap. BB picture on blog is wat is making her have diarrhea of the mouth... Pls Pls Pls she should go and sit down. I beg del her off ya blog shap shap!!!
Whatever the point of this post is, i don't get it still. This is like you are trying to make yourself out to be a good person. Hypocrisy is the worst trait ever!
Secondly,at her age&"status" is she suppossed 2b posing with a bb porsche?I mean dats something I expect an average unilag girl to do and not a woman of her age!she shud think of something to do with her life and stop fooling herself.
Thirdly,I dnt know if you Linda and some of your bloggers have met Susan personally but I've and I can tell you that she is untrained&uncouth! Saw her at an event d other day and she was busy insulting one elderly woman only for us to find out at the end of the day that the woman was a commissioner in delta state!her saving grace that day was that the woman was a lady and decided to ignore her...
Now to you Linda,uve no biz apologising to anybody whatsoever,if an adult decides to make a fool of herself,it is not your biz or problem.the best you can do is to help inform us ur readers so we can help you finish the person.But seriously the next time I hear or see you apoogise to anoda celeb I will stage a mass protest for us to boycott ur blog because you are embarrassing us....have a lovely sunday xoxoxox
No its not ok. U don't hear Wendy Williams, media take out and co apologise to anyone for their comments except they have erroneously published an untrue article. Linda pls remain solid. Ur readers are entitled to their opinion. U just post credible stories. Take care love.
All of you kissing linda's ass are just as stupid as she is, susan fall my hand sef just to rant on twitter and give dis girl more publicity, if na me na physical fight na to catch linda put pepper 4 her yansh n break her bones....linda is not a journali( but a cheap ass amateur blogger always trying to instigate problems....mschew nonsense
Linda cannot phathom why u apologised to that local obnoxious cow Susan Peters..they cussed her out all over the net not just urs...but she had to pick on a fellow woman who had more clout than her and should i say prettier..hope she reads this...and no ones jealous o de..u one of those allowing all this young girls to become ashawos..if 9ja women were more resolute and humble like Linda..the young girls might have a fighting chance and get some respect in that country...had my disagreements with Linda but she's good peoples as they say....
Yes..u messed up Linda as per my warning last nite..you need to be impartial above board..so you want to apologise to the whole world abi!!..
She already made a fool of herself..by posing with the phone and then cussing you and Fam out..damn..even Tonto had more panache...
Let's face it Linda you not going to win a Nobel Peace Prize anytime soon or be the next Mother Theresa..if they gonna play the fool..they should be ready to deal with the consequences!!
why the apology??...why become a star when you don't want the press to talk about you??..honestly speaking, i don't know her..Linda, the sky is your limit jare...
Dayuuummmm. She was really hurt by the comments. Lmao! Well, she started it. Not the first to buy the phone so why the ugly pose with the ugly picture with her ugly face? Linda, you're nice oh!! I for leave am make she cry. This actress sucks. Can't watch her movies. Eurrghh! She should focus on her career while you focus on yours, Haba!! See what her joblessness aka lack of movie roles has caused. She's so immature for those comments she made. Lord knows how worse her personality is. Bitter old woman. Ride on Linda. Keep naming and shaming these fools. It's what you do for a living ....abi you wan go broke???
linda i'm forced to comment today, just cant hold my self..WTF is wrong with this susan, she's a public figure and choose to tie her bb around her neck for people to see and talk about, but becos she's getting negative comments, she's mad.
was she expecting to get a patt on her back for spending so much on a fone that freezes?,who cares what she does with her moni, we've seen better news and people here on this blog and who's she anyways? the last time i checked, it's s free world and people have the right to say what ever they like, she's a sadist from wat she's saying and looking for one to lay her frustration on and unfortunately for us LIB'ers she laid it on us.
>>>Porche
Linda,now uve learned 1 of the many KEY lessons and advantages of authoritative journalism and reportage,cos such needs no afterward APOLOGY.what ever you post on the blog,"ppl (Susan peters inclusive) will always talk, keep ur head up"..(no apology to LindaIkeji)
LadojaLanre
@tunji u spoke my mind,to apologise is great buh wen its done @ orda pple's expense its so immature nd bullshit."pple will talk my foot"@linda imagine if u post sumtin nd we all dont comment?Smh
Linda u fall my body(but shit happens anyway). As 4dat extinct nonentity, who exactly r u dat we shud knw? Genevieve's grandma or RMD's childhood nanny? See me see local trouble o? Linda innocently posted a "boring news" abt u n then u flipped? Abi u ve never had any publicity platform b4 ni? In fact, as my fellow reader said, 2day na sunday...
NB: I thot u were beautiful until I saw ur ugly tweets, Sunny Peters.
Linda i hv not commented on ur blog b4 this is my first time but i always read ur post. 4 apologizing 2 susan u fucked up big time n u fall our hand ur readers.
Linda, 'twas wrong for you to have appologized Απϑ frm ur point i kinda understand..the lady whosoever she is ,is not matured..my 10 year old cousin is more matured Απϑ sensible than she is..she went ahead Απϑ insulted people that put her where she is.(Dats just dumb of her).all izz well Linda tk.
Hello pple!!! Can u read? Linda didn't apologize cos of the post, she apologized on the so-called behalf of her blog readers who have freedom to drop their thots on any post. I dnt really see dat as an apology, jst a way of Linda saying 'no hard-feelings meant, jst making my blog interesting n any time spent there worthwhile'. Really, who is d Susan Peters? I honestly haven't heard her name b4, n since wen did she become UN ambassador? mmmmttchewww. Linda, sorry for d insults. She did yab u gan o. N I gotta say she's really a mess to av counted an unofficial 'apology' as one. Oshi ati iranu. Linda, abeg we want more.
She deserved no apology with the uncouth manner with which she tweeted.
Susan peters is a fucking slag...i hate all this #wackCelebs who think they are big..i read the article,linda you didn't write anything bad there,just posting her pic with BlackBerry,she now went red. you own this blog and we all know,dem busy sleeping with producers and movie makers to get roles and denies it when been ask..susan peter or whatever doesn't worth up to £40,000 so WTF and what the hell did she think she is,if she can't boast of £40k and she thinks she is big why did she thinks she is big in her mind and calling some1 a failure,that's too harsh!!!! econmy class flyers...
1. Honestly Linda, some of us would never have known who Susan Peters is if not because of you.
2.I still dont know who she is but I assumed she must matter for you to talk about her on your blog.
3.Now I knwo she doesnt matter cos all I can say about her is that she is a very local and unpolished wannabe celebrity otherwise there wouldnt be all this drama about her buying a blackberry porshe. Never heard any drama about real celebrities buying expensive stuff. They never even have pay any attention to comments about their luxury acquisitions.
4. Lesson Learnt Linda: Never talk about wannabes on your blog cos this is what you ll get. In summary, dont give any low life cheap fame buy celeberating them ok.
Thanks maam, you didn't post my comment simply because I called you a blogger and not a Journalist! No worries, at least you now know the difference between both of them.
Dr these ya gbagauns no get part 2, I hope u don't chook ppl wrong injections sha!! Chinekem*
My thought after reading the headline was; why apologise in the first place, do gossip bloggers ever do, they only care about gossips, gossips and more gossips to feed their hungry readers - that's all they care about, even when people are bruised, they don't care, so far their sites' google analytics is encouraging and monthly adsense is making sense.
All these ran through ma head before - and during - clicking the article (I hope I'm right though, thoughts can run be pretty fast). Then I began to read the article in full, to the point where one self-acclaimed professional journalist started spewing thrash (at least to me anyways) saying all the nonsensical stuffs about not writing apologies, then this got me on the edge:
"As a parting shot, Linda Ikeji should take a clue from Yahoo! News and other reputable media houses that has never for once apologised for their publications simply because of the bruised ego of some affected persons."
This is the height of it; do people think they have right to your life using the pen or typing trash on the computer simply to get paid; money is driving us crazy in this world that we can do anything to get it - even while destroying people's lives in the process. Dear Mr Journalist, stop saying rubbish (with big words, I must admit), everyone has a right to privacy, including stars. Don't find pleasure slandering people in the name of journalism and making money. Everyone makes mistakes, and none like to see it revealed to millions of people in the name of 'gossip'.
Then the last part, the Susan Peter's rant: I must admit, I haven't heard her name (or even seen her, either on TV or as a person, =))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º=))) except on this blog, so to say you gave her a little bit of publicity is an understatement. She went too far I believe, going as far as labelling you a 'failure', who does she think she is? Everyone has a line of business; hers is acting, and yours is blogging, nothing is wrong wiv that, why would she be saying 'blogging is all you have'? She should have dabbed her hand into it to know the level of hard work it entails (ask new bloggers, they'll you how frustrating it can be). Yorubas will say 'we fight to reconcile', she can't just revert everything she said after your 'apology' can she? At least you didn't say anything bad about her, you just posted the pic and it generated comments; that's not at all your fault.
As an advice linda,
1) If she made the pic open source herself, not that you 'stole' it from her phone or through any other crooked means; no need for apology. She made it available to the media and she should accept anything that comes from it; it comes with the territory.
2) But if you got it from unconventional sources -without her permission - then you have to but not the way you went about it. That is cowardice I think, don't send her DM; use your blog to tender the apology (at least it was your blog that the first article was in the first place). It's like fighting and insulting someone in public and going behind the scene to apologise; it's a sign of cowardice in ma opinion.
These are my thoughts anyways; I'm entitled to it, let no one castigate me for it
I hope this get published; this is the second time I'll be typing this. Linda! Lindaa!! Lindaaaa!!! How many times did I call you? You better publish this or else...
Hanhan kilode? Oyinbo yi ti poju ma, e fe fo wa lori ni!!
Susan Peters na big agbaya,omo alata in deed, I d saw post wen she posing with d bb Porsche dat she f***ed alhaji to buy (cause me I no say na waka pass she be), and I know dat wen Linda posted it, she meant no harm at all(Linda even called her one of d best dressed Actresses waka pass at one time). Pls lets all leave dis issue alone, and stop giving Susan ALATA Peters unnecessary attention. BUSH GIRL
Dr these ya gbagauns no get part 2, I hope u don't chook ppl wrong injections sha!! Chinekem*
Hello pple, can u read? Linda didn't apologize for d post, she did for d comments made by her readers. I guess dat was her way of saying 'hey sussy, no hard feelings attached, jst doing my job n making my readers av a good time on my blog'. Bt Aunty Linda, who sent u apologize on our behalf, she shud av sent d hate posts into each person's e-mail addy in d order of au mch she detests d person's comment. N she's really way over herself to av calld wat Linda wrote to her as an official apology,nt to talk of posting it. N who really is dis Susan Peters? Cos until d porsche saga, she was no one. n do u all think she's a big star as she claims to b? Cos if she is, thngs like these wudn't bug her( she shud ask tonto dike). Bt gotta say dat she really yab u o Linda, pele. Bt u fit b like Jesus Christ now, u fit offer ur 2nd cheek for anoda badt strike. Abeeg we want more jare.
Funny thing is Linda gets nuff diss herself..
Linda might have come off being all diplomatic but those who act the fool would face the wrath of LIB posters..so u better ACT RIGHT!!..we taking no prisoners!!...
Trolololololol! Burst my head! Na real failed failure....buhahahahahahahahaha
linda where is my comment? i no de fear susan so post it.
Correct! The linda is a forcing social climber..why did she apologise to only susan peters.the hundreds of people she blogs about for people to diss nko.failed model oshii
Linda apologies can never b wrong it's for peace not who is wrong or right ... It doesn't make anybody less than who they r ... It make u a stronger woman ... U know nobody is perfect ...
Linda, you yuk up... Apologise for wetin? No be she put hersef for public eye? Who say make she go become actress? Walahi, na she dey use you shine as I never hear of am till that post... Her rants just show say she lack understanding.. You for just leave am jejely.. Meanwhilly, see as south africans dey finish us dey rant and rave over the apology of dem gofment... Some naija peopu represent sha... www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2012/03/08/south-africa-apologises-to-nigeria?filter=all_comments
Susan Ewu Peters...go hug transformer....Na yeye Linda go apologise to ur trashy ass.....Linda post her pic again..let us the LIB readers give her another round of trashing. Old cargo...See grandmama wey dey wan use shine...chei...
This is not journalism ... This is ur personally blog , there for its subject to wht u feel n if wht u feel offends pple u should apologize ... If ever u hv been msubdrstood u will know wht it is ... Linda dnt b fool , it's u that pple know , we r all face less on this blog
I wish I knew who you were.your comment makes a lot of sense.everyone is on the blogging grind; with absolutely nothing to blog on/about.she needs to stop intruding on peoples affairs or better still finish uni;go for masters nd get a real job.Ur disgusting linda ikeja!
some advice Linda, you CANNOT be everybody's friend. I am dissappointed at your apology. Your post about her wasnt even offensive. To think you would go behind your readers and apologise seems like hypocrisy and a stab in the back of your readers. If you have to apologise in the future it should NEVER be "in private". I hope you have learnt from this. You need to be professional about your business. I hope this doesnt happen again. As for the lady in question, I dont know her and after all this I wont waste any attention on her.
Abeg Linda u were wrong, for wat now?? U shouldn't have abeg. Dt old hag with skin dt I can't describe, cos she bought phone she's feeling like a star. Her younger ones are doin better things with their money she's buying blackberry, Well sha it's not her fault *omo oju o ro lari* mstcheeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww.
To finalize what i wrote before..Linda you are like a journalist,Susan Peters is wack and will always be..go to IrokoTv and check her out she don't even have more than 10 movies on her credit..she can't boast of £40,000 on her bank account and she call herself a celeb #wack,We all know how much Genevive earns talk more of her that haven't got a name.maybe that BB is not hers who knows...Linda your apology showed how matured and great you are but don't do that again they will think you are weak and take you for granted..Big ups Lin God bless
Gbam! Best comment so far
And Linda u must post dt my comment oh....
I thought publishing her photo with the phone was an honest publication and not meant to malign her in any way. However, apologizing to her privately was wrong for two reasons: firstly, you did not wrong her, after all being an actress makes her a public figure and she should expect to see herself in the news every now and then. Secondly, your private apology amounts to betrayal to those readers who commented publicly on the publication. Having said this, You have behaved maturely by seeking your readers opinion on this issue and promising not to go down this route in future. No malice No apologies Linda.
Badt girl...I love ur write up.

We ur readers love u n cant get enough! I myself check in lyk 3 times a day to see what I might have missed cuz of the time difference. Keep up the good work girl!
You apologised and now set her up for another round of slagging with this post. Doesnt make much sense to me. You didnt apologise cos 'you wanted to make her feel better', you did cos she threw a scare into you. That's the fact. Like a comment on your Facebook said,you 'threw your readers under a bus' with that DM you sent her.
I dont know if you are wrong or right with that apology stuff,whatever makes you sleep well at night is ok by me. I'm still a huge fan of yours and i pray it continues to be well with you cos i've seen your good side and i'm happy with it.
Still on the issue of apology,when is KSB,Annie,Munachi,Dencia,Nicole,Sarah Ofili, Earth queen, Debby Ogunjobi and all the gboegboe who has been slaughtered on this blog getting theirs'? Do you see now why you shouldn't have apologised?
OMG, It was mature, very mature of u to bring her down by saying sorry. I love u so much LI, u are hardworking. Doesn't Susan Peters think its a failure posing and posting with a phone? who does that anyway? village champion like her. some of her family members have nt eaten n she comes posing with a phone that could feed her hungry cousins. u did well sha. see her face sef... mcheeeeew. she is just what she rants abt. foolish Susan Peters, she is so infamous nowadays. go geta life ms Peters.
You've made a big fool of yourself with your actions towards Linda Linda Ifeoma
Ikeji. You are one of the reasons why stella Damasus said some actresses are hiding behind the mask.. Shame on you Susan..If you acquire your things in a clean way it won't pain you if someone questions you about it. Because you acquired it in a dirty way that is why you don't want anyone to remind you the pains you went through before getting them .Miss blackberry Porche.
sincerely,I have never heard of Susan Peters till today.You did well Dear Linda to apologise and make her feel better.
See how stupid it is to make Susan Peters a UN peace ambassador? Big mistake to the UN....with Susan ranting like an illiterate that she is...Na peace be that? Them for make her 'Osama bin Susan war ambassador'...mugu
Linda you have showed that you are a double egde sword.. You made a fool of yourself apologising to this asawo lagos. I will never comment in your blog again. If you go behind your readers and butt lick this idoits.
As a blogger owner or journalist you should never apologize for putting up an article except when it is later found out to be false.
If you have the guts to put it up,then u should be ready to damn the consequences and not mind the feelings you've hurt.
Apologizing makes it look like its a personal vendetta ,which is not.
Linda, I'm down for an apology anytime anywhere. It's surreal and peaceful...BUT that was an unnecessary apology to Susan!
I am a Bella Naija fan and people rant and diss like crazy over there (Naija trait??= get used to this if you're one), yet they've never apologized for those comments. PROFESSIONALS.
You did ABOSLUTELY nothing wrong by posting that picture on your blog. You didn't diss her, you didn't "wash wash" her...NOTHING!! Your readers are from diverse backgrouds--you CANNOT tell us what to say or how to react on your blog. Nope, darling.
And Susan had the audacity to diss us AND disrespect you? Class much? I DEMAND an apology and you go get some coz she was VERY RUDE to you!!!
It's good to be kind and sensitive to other people's feelings, but DON'T play Jesus all the time.
<btw* Susan, if you are reading this, apologize to Linda. You really hurt her feelings)
N.B....Linda, POST MY COMMENT O!!! I'M SERIOUS!! DONT CENSORE THIS COMMENT lol.
Muahh, love you always!
Linda please relax ursef if she like make she go hug transformer u don try ...in short u are not meant to apologize to anybody...........she no sabi say u na star too and ur name dey Google on the press of the enter button mtcheewww abeg make she go sleep or abi na hunger dey wori am....

linda ur wisdom don dey enter king Solomon level. u showed class in handling the matter.

Linda u messed up big time ... U have ridiculed d very essence of journalism ... This will definitely have a negative effect on your career and your personality . There is absolutely nothing wrong with d Peter's post , your apology to her shows how weak u are . I used to be an hardened fan of ur blog but for ds singular act I'm gonna detest from reading ur blog because ds is a shear insult to all ur blog readers. And for the low life Susan Peter , I reserve ma comment ... # BRAVO #
Biko its just like saying yipee susan acquired a car (just like Jim iyke and the rest) But the only diff in this case is that pple dont see Susan as one who has fame so should not be able to afford such shikena. If na genny the ring will be split into two or 3/4 so biko DUTCHESS OFF IDOMA, UN PEACE NKE NWANU nnolu odu na ochie di oku.
Me i still feel susan na correct actress but too forward
i hate this, i hate this!
linda, why on earth did you apologies to that prostitute called susan peters, eey. kai, i am really angry right now. Allah Linda, you are very stupid.
susan peters or whatever you call yourself, you just shown how myopic and stupid you are in public. your mother is dieing in the village and your are spending such on a bb, you still have the guts to bark like a dog. instead of you to spend the money your got from that Alhaji well, you go buy bb pouche, you are mad. idiot.
In that picture, i only saw the bb, you are such an ugly asshole with filthy looking hands. jezzz. if you are the only woman on earth, i will remain a virgin, bastard. go hung transformer MUMU from idoma!
Almighty righteous Linda that has never done anything wrong before ... U post her bb Whn she know ask u to n na u want her tell tell u before she post d apology u sent her , double standard of u, u buy ur car monbdy kill u or ask u , she buy her bb u want make pple kill her with bad words n u act innocent ... Double standard again ... Give yourself brain , am one of ur loal fan of this blog I read everyday , I totally understand that is is business to u n u also do it for fun but Whn pple emotions r involved u hv to watch wht u do ... If u dnt post this comment that tells me again the kind of person u r ... N ur sisters r rude , I hv spoken to tell in d past on d phone n in person ...
Linda, you should never apologise over stupid issues like this when in fact the Actress was seeking publicity.Holding a phone like that and smiling to the camera is a fix, engineered by the Actress. Where does she thinks the photo would end, In the toilet?,off course not. This a a ploy and tactics used in the UK and US to gain publicity. Foolishly, she does not know how to play it well. The picture is too direct and this makes her look very vain. Susan or whatever your name is, please shut up and enjoy the five minutes fame Linda has blessed you with. In the future get a good PR company to train you on how to do a good PR spin, period.
I guess pple ll not stop to Call u fail model , pele , wht brought abt that fail model thing ...
Errr, sorry to ask, but please who is Susan Peters? Ive never heard of her.
Just reading here that she's an actresses
I have seen Susan peters featured severally on your blog, how come she didn't complain earlier. Nothing wrong with your apologies, it shows you are a Peacemaker.
