"As For Me, I Am more Intrigued By The Blogger’s Post Which Boasts A Longer Word Count Than Some University Dissertations"

 



Linda Ikeji and her child



 

I am 38 years old and I recently bought an N100million+ car;

 

what the heck do you need to be  with a man for? Gratuitous not-so-humble brag.

 

Why would anyone choose to boast about a “N100million+ car” and the fact that they are a billionaire in a post that’s supposedly about the breakdown of what was once for them a special relationship?  

 

We already know Linda Ikeji’s wealth, while she may feel the need to use her wealth as a case in point that she didn’t  with a man for financial gain, this is such a crass, ‘holier and richer than thou’ way of doing it.

 

I was celibate for many years until I met my son’s father and fell in love. And instead of increasing , I just went back to the same.

 

Shortly after she writes “We were not suited for each other… I walked away from this man a million times and he came after me a million and one times” Linda Ikeji advises going back to “the same ” rather than increasing .

 

To the girls who look up to her. Are you for real?

 

The moral of the story?

 

Knowing full well a man is not right for you, and that you’ve exhausted the relationship and perhaps it is better to walk away and seek love elsewhere, keep going back, because celibacy…

 

Then you wander why baby daddy has left skid marks speeding off and left you holding the baby.
