Omojuwa has painfully narrated how blogger, Linda Ikeji betrayed him by
using his personal story to ridicule him on her blog.
The social media influencer took to his Twitter handle to share his
story to the world and warned other people that blogger, Linda Ikeji is
a real snake that relished in ridiculing people for her own personal
and business profit.
Omojuwa narrated how he confided in Linda and some other of his
friends about his personal issues, only for Linda to embarrass him by
posting the story on her blog, even lying against him. The story
involved his ex-fiancee which he specifically asked Linda not to
publish. But to his utter shock, Linda published the story even with
some untruths.
“When the ‘friend’ you shared your personal story with goes
ahead to shade you with it on her blog, you know you trusted a snake!,” he said.
“Out of respect for my friend and now ex fiancée, I never
shared the story of what happened between us publicly, but I shared it
with some friends I felt I could trust. Folks @Chude , @DebolaLagos ,
@bellanaija and @lindaikeji and a couple of others.”
“Out of all I shared the story with, @lindaikeji was only 1 I
realized I had to inform not to publish it without assuming she
wouldn’t.”
“I told them all exactly what happened. Then in @lindaikeji ‘s case made sure to tell her not to publish via an email.”
“I didn’t want the story out because it would embarrass my ex
fiancées mum. Even if we weren’t friends today, I still wouldn’t want it
out.”
Omojuwa said he was utterly disappointed by Linda's desperate move
to embarrass and disgrace him in public after he had confided in her.
“I have found myself putting myself on the line on Twitter when
people attack @lindaikeji . I do that when I see the world against
anyone.”
“Just about 2 weeks ago, I was even defending her sister when
they went at her saying her marriage came too soon after her proposal.”
“I have seen @lindaikeji use the cover of Ben Bruce to share me
on her blog. I never took it personal. I considered she was doing her
job.”
“I have seen her take sides with Reno Wendell Simlin Omokri. I
didn’t bother. Whatever she had going on with Reno wasn’t my business.”
“When she was accused of getting N240m from PDP/Jonathan during
the election, I actually called friends in the villa at the time… and
my friends told me as far as they knew, she didn’t get any money. I
didn’t discuss anything with her. I simply posted tweets defending her.”
“Now, all of these are because I am loyal at times to the point
of stupidity. On that day, I was swimming against social media tide,
but you see, when it is on a matter concerning people I care about, I
don’t mind swimming against any tide, social media or not.
Describing Linda Ikeji as a dangerous snake, Omojuwa is asking
others to learn from his ‘temporary stupidity’ and never to trust
someone like her.
“When someone’s trusted you with the truth, you don’t go ahead
to post lies about same on your blog. That makes you a dangerous snake.”
“To see @lindaikeji hide under the cover of a twitter nonentity
to shade me on her blog over a story I personally told her? Tragic!”
“So yeah, learn from my temporary stupidity to trust someone
like @lindaikeji .Never trust a snake & they aren’t hard to know.
Learn from me!”
It should be noted that Linda and Omojuwa were great friends before today's shocking revelation. Omojuwa continued: “We
do great stuff that she ignores. But when Reno Wendell Simlin and Ben
Agbaya Bruce post weak shades at me, she gets to post them.”
“I don’t even mind that. I thrive in a “me against the world”
environment. Pressure and enmity works for me. So I don’t mind that.”
“Against my intuition at the time, I trusted this one
@lindaikeji and then told my intuition “I told her not to publish so we
are fine.””
“My intuition was right as usual. I was stupid, unusual. Sad but useful lesson.”
“I didn’t have to tell Uche, Debola, Chude, Subomi, Musa,
Mohammmed etc “don’t publish it” because my intuition was cool with me
telling them”
He said there was nothing in his break up of his engagement that
embarasses him, but that he decided to keep it away from the public
because his ex-fiancee remains a friend whom he has had lunch and gisted
in the last 3 months.
He also said he decided to keep it away from the public because he
felt he will be very unkind to her and her mum by letting his “public
figure” persona come back to haunt them.
“The circumstances of my engagement breaking up hurt both of
us. We were in love from the beginning to the end. We never fought,
there was no argument. No one was caught cheating.”
“I am fine with those who still insist they are now unfortunate
because someone lost an election take shots at me. I live and thrive
for that, but I refuse not to acknowledge @lindaikeji ‘s spear. I can
acknowledge it because it didn’t pierce my heart. My intuition told me
it’d come.”
