Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, has on several occasions, allegedly fallen victims to men who passed themselves as genuine suitors but were out to con her out of her money.
Recently Linda has been making headlines, first, with rumour swirled around her that she had secretly wedded a mystery man after her sisters, Laura and Sandra hinted that she had an engagement in separate posts on social media.
Subsequently, the blogger posted picture of her baby bump on social media, a post which sparked furious online controversy as some commentators poured vitriol on her for allegedly pregnant outside wedlock.
Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, aka Charly Boy, also weighed in on the controversy and in one of his posts advised Linda to “forget marriage”, a comment which drew him outrage online.
In an attempt to make himself clear on his earlier comment, Charly Boy in a post via his Instagram handle, @areafada1, alleged that the blogger had been unlucky in love.
He wrote: “For those brainless cells who couldn’t grasp why I told Linda Ikeji to forget about marriage, they don’t make men like they used to. Most young men are just looking for someone to pay their bills. Linda has been burnt so many times by useless wayo men parading themselves as prospective husbands. Most good men are already taken. Most men don’t have the confidence to live with an already made woman. Most women desire a very strong man, who can take charge and take care. Marriage very soon will no longer be fashionable because most people can’t cope. Marriage is a good thing, if you’re lucky, but it’s not for everybody.”
He added, “One of my daughter’s has been a single mother after leaving a very abusive marriage. She is the best mum I know and doing well for herself. Marriage can only work for two people who understand that it is a lot of discipline and hard work. It’s not a tea party. Even some so called “Men of God” can’t hold down a marriage.
“I have managed to survive almost 40 years with the same woman – no be sey e sweet like dat. So, mumu men should go think about their lives. It takes two to tango. Leave Linda alone. Go face your life.”
Linda herself had hit back at trolls in a lengthy message on her blog while announcing her pregnancy.
