The #Wizkid #LindaIkeji Saga

Wizkid comes back hard on Linda Ikeji.
.
.

The year 2016 in the Nigerian showbiz industry has proven to be a ‘no-chill-pill’ one, since it started. . .

The latest of the beefs is between popular blogger, Linda Ikeji and singer, Wizkid. Linda published a report late last year about how did a report that the singer was paid N8m by the management of American Univerisity in Yola Adamawa to perform but the singer did not show up after collecting the money. Linda was said to have been tagged on the report but she did not verify from the singer before publishing it. . .
.

For trying to take photos at Linda Ikeji’s mansion, this was done to man The report later turned out to be untrue as the school management debunked the report. The singer who didn’t find the report funny took to his twitter page to cuss out the blogger and other members of her family. In January, Linda broke the news of the arrival of Wizkid new baby from her American baby mama, a report which the singer has since not acknowledged nor denied. .
.

The singer, who obviously is still boiling with anger towards the blogger threw another jab on Saturday. He tweeted a link to an article claiming Linda has “poverty mentality” for showing off her Hermes bag (whether fake or original lol), captioning it “nice read”. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Whatsapp the photo of Linda that wizkid posted on his snap chat page Linda decided to return the jab subtly yesterday by shading the singer using another article. In an article where rapper, The Game, stood up for his baby mama against an internet troll on In. She titled the article, “When Your Baby Daddy Is Not A ‘Deadbeat’…”. .
.

The word ‘deadbeat’ was used in a recent interview to describe the Wizkid by his American baby mama. To cap her article on The Game, Linda wrote: “The Game swiftly responded, (unlike a deadbeat father who hasn’t started to cater for his child)” .
.

However, Wizkid took up the sub and went to his snapchat hours ago to post this: “Almost 40, Lonely And Bitter” with the photo of the blogger to drive home his message. .
.
Lol! Nawa o..! Wan

This Past Valentine ... Experience of a traveller

I was really hoping my first Valentine in Nigeria since I left many years ago could have been my very good retreat as I just needed some sleep to rest my mind from all the adjustment that I've had to do in the past week. Nothing more, nothing less. So, you'd understand my shock when Shola called to inform me that the gang was hitting the beach. 

"Huh, What gang?" I asked, and as I expected, he went on to call Diobi, Jamal and Terngu and their several partners, all old friends from secondary school. I hate being the third wheel, the insignificant other - I thought. But really, deeply I knew I needed the chill and just some good relaxation, I'd gotten tired of being alone, and much more on a day like that. 

So, I quickly rose to my feet as I aimed for the bathroom. Within seconds I was done washing up. As soon as I was done, I hurried for the car, and left within minutes. Well, factor in the maddening Lagos traffic and the many red-clothed people that I'd have to see, I was exhausted to say the very least. I always have to be the single one on every valentines. 

As you'd expect, the 'gang' was all there and Lord, the sun was something else, which makes me to wonder how I survived my early childhood in Nigeria. Well, I was without a doubt dehydrated and drained from all the fumes and traffic. 

As I approached them, I thought I saw something in a bottle sticking out from the mist of the ice cubes in the flask, you'd expect me to hail the guys before reaching for it, but no, I reached for it even before reaching for my self. 

I opened it, gulping it ferociously, without grace or any of those little weird things my mum told my sisters to imbibe while growing up, and in that second, everything seemed fine, settled and familiar. The sun had stopped burning, the breeze blew coolly and my racing heart slowing down as as I sipped my last gulp.  I was finally in love, I'd finally found something invigorating and refreshing about Lagos, I'd finally had a drink of La Casera. I had finally gotten over America. And I was home again with La Casera.
