Former Nollywood Actress, Caroline Danjuma has insisted that Linda Ikeji is part of the reason her marriage crashed.
Earlier, Linda Ikeji issued a disclaimer that denied Caroline’s claims but the actress isn’t buying into any of that.
She called Linda Ikeji an outright bully and said the blogger derives joy from the pains of other women.
Her post reads;
If Laura did not mention your name I would have been quiet till death . There are battles you let God handle for you .. celebrities know media can also take down articles they posted long time ago on the internet .. LINDA IKEJI you are a bully , always been and always will be . You can’t break me any more .. out of a thousand journalist and bloggers I chose your name ?… I AM SORRY is not too big for you to say . As a narcissist that you are Linda I don’t expect you to be remorseful. You are not a credible blogger , you derive joy from the pains of other women . Only loyal to those that give you money . Rest in pieces LINDA . The last time I checked I don’t come on social media or I have never come on social media to blame ANY one for my marriage break up before now . I ALWAYS defended my ex ( I remember when I wrote all men cheat and he should be left alone , I was blasted for defending him ). I will never wash my marital issues in public . Linda the money you just found , use it to wash yourself clean . As a mother be good to people , it brings blessing . Take your L . You will NEVER shut me up again .

Popular Blogger, Linda Ikeji has issued an official response to the allegation from former Nollywood Actress, Caroline Danjuma laid upon her and her blog.
Last night, social media went rife after a clip from the currently airing “Real Housewives of Lagos” showed the moment a very angry Caroline, blamed Linda Ikeji for the crash of her marriage.
According to Caroline, Linda Ikeji, through her blog, published malicious content against herself and her daughter by questioning her age and alleging that her Daughter belonged to another man.
Linda Ikeji has now come out to deny these allegations.
Then blogger said Caroline’s claim that she wrote a malicious content against her daughter isn’t true. The blog however admitted to writing about Caroline’s age controversy but there has never been a time the blog published bad articles about Caroline’s daughter.
The post the blog shared reads;
Just to set the record straight because people like to believe these things especially when a celebrity makes the claim.
In it’s 16 years of blogging, Linda Ikeji Blog NEVER EVER wrote that Caroline Danjuma’s daughter is not for her husband. Not only didn’t Linda Ikeji Blog write this, no other blog in Nigeria or beyond wrote this.
If this was a story written by Linda Ikeji Blog, a lot of other blogs would have carried it. There is no such story online on the thousands of blogs that exist in Nigeria. This is a story that was NEVER written about Caroline Danjuma. It doesn’t exist. PERIOD. Feel free to Google.
This story was completely made up by Caroline Danjuma. Or she could have seen it as a comment made by anonymous commenters on LIB or any other blog. But this story was NEVER written about her. Other than calling her daughter ADORABLE, we NEVER wrote anything else about her.
Yes, we did write about Caroline’s age controversy when she came out some years ago to claim she was 27. Many people didn’t believe her and that was the angle of our story. It wasn’t written with malice.
Two things that we want to make clear. Everyone who knows Caroline Danjuma, knows she blames everyone else for the demise of her marriage. It’s never her fault or the fault of her ex. Even in this so called reality show, another cast member said she lied when she said Linda Ikeji blog contributed to the end of her marriage and mentioned another cast member who Caroline has for years blamed for the end of her marriage. We hope the show airs that episode.
It was only recently, in a post on Instagram in 2022, that Caroline, finally blamed herself for the end of her marrage.
Secondly, Caroline has told everyone that cares to listen that she adores and respects Linda Ikeji and doesn’t understand why Linda doesn’t like her. Linda has absolutely nothing against Caroline Danjuma. She just doesn’t know her.
Finally we ask Caroline to please screengrab the page where Linda Ikeji Blog or any other blog in Nigeria ever wrote that her daughter isn’t for her husband. Its news to everyone today because it was NEVER WRITTEN.”
A married woman identified as Funmilola Osundare is currently battling for her life at the Federal Medical Center in Ondo State after she was butchered by her boyfriend for alleged ritual purposes.

Popular social commentator and Author Reno Omokri has said that the ideal family is one where the husband works to provide while the wife cares for the home.
His post on Instagram reads ;
Dear men,
The ideal family is one where the husband provides for the family, and the wife cares for the home. Wokeness rejects this, but wokeness did not create marriage. God did and Scripture is very clear. So stop accusing women of gold digging when they look at your income when you look for their hand in marriage.
Man was created by God as a provider. Woman was created as his helper. If you as a man have nothing to provide, you need a job, not a helper. Don’t marry when all you can be is a sufferer, rather than a provider! Women who refuse your suffering are not gold diggers.
In a rejoinder post, Reno commended Mothers as he noted that it is the most tasking job on earth.
In his words;
The most tasking job on Earth is the job of being a mother. From the delivery room, to the living room, a mother works. Being a mother is a full time job that is physically tasking and emotionally draining.
A lot of damage is done on Earth when women have children and leave them to nannies and maids to raise while they pursue money. Nobody can look after your child like you. A wife who looks after her children deserves financial support from her husband. It is a partnership.
I believe you saw what happened in some schools of late. A lot of that would not have occurred if those children had parents who gave them the required nourishing.

“It was shocking to hear of his tragic death in a ghastly motor accident along with his two children. Honestly, I still haven’t processed it. So unbelievable.

They were laid to rest today.”

For this young man, the fear of the dreaded now defunct, Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit (SARS) is the beginning of being smart especially when they’re in your surrounding.
His girlfriend decided to exploit that fear when she pranked him about the Police operatives being around in his compound and asking him what he was going to do about it.
The lady, who made the video is seen walking up to her sleeping boyfriend before she woke him up from his slumber just to tell him that the police operatives were in his compound and were already talking with his friend downstairs.
The young man immediately went into panic mode and was obviously in a confused state but the first thing he could gather himself to do was to hide his mobile device before following his girlfriend’s instructions.
She asked him to stay inside and not make a sound as she tries to handle the situation.
The hilarious reaction of the young man has left netizens laughing and also wondering why he chose to hide his phone. Watch the video as you scroll,

I am a medical doctor & my hubby is a software developer. We both had good jobs till my husband lost his job & getting a new paid job was hard, we decided that I travel to Canada till we’re stabilized, he would join us with the kids. We have 2girls.
Dec 2018, I decided to come to NIGERIA for the festivities to celebrate & our 20th wedding anniversary.
When I arrived, I noticed a tensed atmosphere between my daughters and their father. I thought it was the teenager – parent’s issue, so I ignored it but when I noticed that my daughters would sometimes be rude to their father, I demanded to know what was going on. This became a matter of concern cause, my daughters used to adore their father.
I tried severally to get my girls to speak but all they had to say was for me to talk to my husband.
I had to ask my hubby what was going on. He told me it was nothing he couldn’t handle & that our girls were keeping bad company in school & cause of this, he decided to disallow them from going out & attend parties. He drops them in school & creates time to pick them from school.
I was happy as such strong hand is needed for my girls. I ignored their attitude. Few days to when I was to travel back to Canada. I called my girls to talk to them. After a long talk, they told me that daddy did not want them to go out cause he was having sex with both of them.
When my husband came back from the office, I confronted him and they repeated what they told me in his presence. My husband denied vehemently but the girls insisted that it was the truth. I was confused and I sought the counsel of our pastor and his parents.
They called our girls & they said the same thing. I didn’t know who to believe. My husband kept begging me to believe him but I just was not ready to listen cause I could not see reason why our children would lie about such. I made arrangement and took my children back to Canada with me despite the loans I had to take, for the extra costs. While I filed for divorce. I raised my children alone for about 3years.
Then I heard the news that my now ex husband was getting married to someone else. I mentioned it to the girls and expressed how sad I was that
a man that would do that to his daughters went scotfree because there is no evidence to push a case. I bursted out crying while apologizing to my girls about what he put them through. It was there that they confessed that their father did not touch them.
That they lied cause their father did not give them freedom to do what they desire & they wanted to leave NIGERIA. My world shattered. Where do I start from? How do I beg my husband? What do I say? Probably, I should have trusted my husband, but I was just trying to be a good Mom I lost a good man. How do I get him to forgive his children and I ? Can I still save my home ?
Who will you blame in this story? The Children who lied on their Father cause of Freedom or the wife that didn’t trust in her husband despite him pleading he was innocent? ”

Award-winning American singer and actress, Janelle Monae has come out as non-binary in a recent interview on Red Table Talk.
The Grammy nominee was a guest on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, in an episode aired on Facebook on Wednesday, April 22, where she made the revelation.
According to Janelle who appeared on the show with her mother, Janet, since God doesn’t identify as a “he” or “she” because he transcends gender restrictions, then she is also “everything”.
Her words, “I’m nonbinary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman solely. I feel all of my energy.
“I feel like God is so much bigger than the “he” or the “she.” And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am. Beyond the binary.”
Although people who identify as non-binary are referred to as “they”, a representative of the singer said she would still continue using she/her pronouns.

Taking to his Instastory, the actor who recently welcomed a child with his wife, stated that the counterfeit products in Nigeria seems to be more than the original.

He concluded by saying the problem of this country is not the government, but the citizens.
The actor and philanthropist wrote,
“The fake products in this country is more than the original.
And the painful part is that some of this vendors will sell the fake the price of original.
Even if you must sell fake, why can’t you have the fake and the original so anyone that can’t afford the original will then have the option of buying the fake.
Somethings our problem is not the government, our problem is us.”
A while ago, Williams Uchemba took to his social to make an impassioned plea to parents to protect their children at any cost.
The thespian was probably reacting to the news of a new Bi-sexual superman being introduced in comics, and he asked the relevance of sexual content in Kids cartoons.
He then begged parents to ensure they control what their kids watch/consume from these television programmes.
In his words ;
Since when did sexual content started being cool in kids cartoons and comics?? KIDS HEAR WITH THEIR EYES PROTECT THEM.
Parents protect your children at any cost.
The enemy is completely out to disciple the ones he can especially through what they watch.
Because he knows the children hear with their eyes.

A group of Nigerians staged a protest in the private office of former President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday, urging him to run for president in 2023.
A spokesman for the group, Mayor Samuel, who spoke to newsmen, said they were there to beg Goodluck Jonathan’s forgiveness for voting him out in 2015.
“We were deceived and brainwashed by those who claimed they could do it in 2015. Now, we know better, under Jonathan the minimum wage could buy one or two bags of rice. What do we have today? We are begging President Jonathan to forgive us, we have realized our mistakes, we want him back to complete what he started.” He said.
In photos from the protest that were posted online, the protesters are seen holding placards that read, “Goodluck Jonathan, you must run.. We need you to restore Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, Nollywood actor, Imeh Okon, popularly known as Okon Lagos, has advised ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan to ignore the call to run for president in the 2023 general elections.
According to him, Jonathan should not run for president again regardless of how much he’s been wooed because too much damage has been done to the country after his exit in 2015, and there’s only little he can do to fix it.
“Rumors have it that Goodluck is being wooed to run for president again. Abeg your excellency, as tempting as it may, Dont. Too much damage is done and there is too little you can do to fix it in just a term. Imagine bringing in Ronaldo in 90+2 mins to turn around the fortunes of a team that is down by 7 nil! What will he do? Magic?? Remain the legend and hero you are sir. Duck the bait!”
