Linda Ikeji attacked online for showing off her N24m Range Rover on her Blog

 Linda Ikeji's action last night has generated mixed reactions as alot of her readers, haters and bloggers have taken her post of the 2014 Range Rover, said to cost N24million, for her birthday as a show of  pride and ego. One Thelma had this to say:

"Is she just proud of her achievements and trying to encourage others, or is she trying to make people jealous? Hmmm *thinking*. Ok, why is she showing us her three cars side by side? Now she's just rubbing it in jor!"

The over-3000 comments on the post she put up at 12:47am on Tuesday was clear indication she had an idea of what was about to come after, you should read up the ones on Facebook and you’d be amazed. Is it wrong to have money or to spend a little on your self?
Ada Igboanugo has no issue with the posted pictures but with the commentary. She asks in an article titled Linda Ikeji’s new range rover: Inspiring ladies or sheer pride? 

... why seek validation for a decision she took alone. First off, saying her father ‘’finally gave the permission’’ leaves a lot on the mind to ponder on why she needed his permission in the first place? Did she need his permission? If she did, isn’t that a family matter?

Then she went ahead to talk about feeling guilty for acquiring the car. Why would you venture into something to come out publicly to then say you feel guilty about it? For the purpose of public sympathy? No member of that public is going to take turns driving the car, so why the need to explain yourself?

I believe if you want to do something and you’re convinced within you that it is what you want to do, then you damn the consequences and do it. At least, take a cue from the lives of the people whose stories you post on the blog for doing similar thing. They don’t come back after the post to apologise for it. If you’re afraid of the reactions that would follow or you feel like you have compromised the trust of your followers by almost proving you “are better than them”, then why post it in the first place?

Personally, I'm a bit surprised by such sentiments, because, this is not the first time Linda has shared photos of a new car on her blog. The way I see it, if Linda was a non-blogging celebrity, paparazzi will take and post the pictures. Since Linda IS the paparazzi, she has to do it all herself.
