The soon-to-be mum opened up on
how she was successfully able to hide her pregnancy from everyone and debunk
rumours that she is wearing a prosthetic baby bump as alleged by Kemi Olunloyo.
Responding to the allegations, Linda shared photos of her bump with a long caption where she addressed issues like her pregnancy, celibacy, her man, kemi olunloyo, her banana island mansion. etc. It’s a long read but I promise
you it’s worth your time. Read below:
Most of the people who know me
will tell you that I have a heart of gold and maybe that’s why God never stops
blessing me.
This woman (you know who…lol) has
been trolling me for years and calling me all sorts of unprintable names which
I have never responded to.
But when she cried out for help
last year, despite the abuses I’ve gotten from her, I sent money to her
account. I harbor no hate for anyone, no matter what.
And I swear I would have sent
more money to her if people around me hadn’t stopped me. I just felt pity for
her that she was languishing in prison and no one to help her.
And not only did I send money
(which I did privately and she made public), I called a few people I know to
see what they could do to help bring her out of prison. No matter what, she is
a woman, and I am all about women supporting women.
She wrote that I am wearing a
prosthetic baby bump…lol. Like I could get away with that in Nigeria? And some
folks actually believe it…lol. If I couldn’t have a child, I would proudly
adopt. Proudly. I love children so much. But fortunately, God blessed me with a
womb to carry my own child.
I was just hiding the baby bump
until I got to my second trimester before letting you amazing people know. I
could have continued hiding it to be honest but I just couldn’t keep calm…lol.
I’ve had the easiest pregnancy with no swelling and no issues and I thank God.
Lastly, here’s something I want
to say to everyone. I remember when I bought my house in Banana Island in 2015,
many didn’t believe it. In fact one tweet said ‘If you believe that Linda Ikeji
owns a home in Banana Island, I seriously doubt your higher institution
certificate’. That’s how much they doubted God’s blessings…lol
(How to hide a baby bump 101.
Suck belle in and wear a high waist…lol). So, a few friends have been calling
me, asking me how I’m holding up with all the trolling on the internet since I
announced my pregnancy. I kind of felt bad for them because they were worrying
over something I wasn’t. I’ve been on the internet for nearly 12 years now,
I’ve made money, I’ve met amazing people, I’ve written about folks and stepped
on toes (mostly of course, unknowingly…lol). So when people troll me, that’s
fine. It’s called Karma. Lol. Fortunately it doesn’t get to me. There’s nothing
I haven’t been called on the internet, and it will never stop because this is
where I plan to do business for the rest of my life! So we all are stuck
together. I’m not going anywhere…lol.”
So let's address some
issues...and the reason why I bother is for the young girls who look up to me.
I owe you and will always speak to help you in anyway I can because I want you
to shine and be the better version of yourself. So number one, let's talk about
this celibacy issue. I preached it a lot of times but I have NEVER said do not
have sex before marriage.
Here's what I have always said to
young girls and I maintain it. Never ever give your body to a man for money.
You're worth so much more than that. You're beautiful beyond measure and
there's absolutely nothing a man can give you that you can't give urself if you
apply yourself, believe in yourself and work hard. Start now that you're young,
pursue your dreams, work hard till your hands are sore and ur mind is tired,
never listen to anyone who tells you you're not good enough or you're wasting your
time, and no matter how hard it gets, no matter how rough the road becomes,
never give up on yourself or your dreams.
2. I've always also said & I
maintain it; do not sleep around because your body is too precious &
deserves respect. You deserve love & dignity. I've always said sex should
only happen when you find yourself in a loving relationship, with someone you
love & who loves you back. I was 100% celibate until I was ready to share
my life with someone and I met the man of my dreams. (unfortunately, I can't
share him with the internet..lol)
Linda Ikeji also had the below
prayers for those who believed her without any doubt when she broke the news of
her pregnancy.
”So here’s my prayer for you!
That God will bless you so much, people won’t believe it and will question the
sanity of those who do…because the blessing is so enormous, no one thought it
was possible.
I wish you the kind of miracle
that will leave people arguing if it’s true or not…because to them it’s just
not possible – but then they forget that with God, nothing is impossible.
I pray that when your blessings
come, people will be like ”it’s a lie jor!’ ‘How can?’ How come?” because no
one saw it coming. I pray that God answers all your prayers and fulfills his
promises to you. I hope he blesses you so much, even you can’t believe it!
Love you guys so much because you
changed my life. I’ve never been happier than I am right now!
And don’t forget guys, LITV
launches June 1st.
Massive hug and plenty kisses.”
