    Social Media Catches Fire as Linda Ikeji Shares Pregnancy Story, Davido Gets Expelled From NYSC, Google Search Shows President Trump’s Picture when you search for Idiot and many more

    Social Media Catches Fire as Linda Ikeji Shares Pregnancy Story, Davido Gets Expelled From NYSC, Google Search Shows President Trump’s Picture when you search for Idiot and many more

    The whole social media has caught fire once again as popular media mogul Linda ikeji revealed who her baby daddy is. ‘Jeremi Sholaye’.

    Linda Ikeji Reveals How She Met Her Baby Daddy, Sholaye Jeremi, Explains Why Their Relationship Didn’t Work https://t.co/0ZE68fNvEm pic.twitter.com/nTNUGvc8Y0

    — ABLE GOD FOLLOWED YOU ✍🏿 (@itz_baron) December 14, 2018

    Recall we once  reported earlier when she announced that she was expecting a baby, but no identity of the father read here

    Nigerians took to all social media to express their anger because, according to them, Linda has used her blog to troll many who have fallen baby mama victim before.

    Below are some reactions:

    You become what you criticise!!!!
    .
    Linda Ikeji Criticised baby mamas, she became one..
    .
    Mourinho called Wenger specialist in failure, he is becoming one…
    .
    Now I will stop criticising Buhari…
    And start criticising Dangote… pic.twitter.com/qk5ereq6K9

    — The Kingmaker🦅 (@SmithVinci) December 14, 2018

    My problem with Linda Ikeji is this Holier than thou attitude.

    From talking about celibacy to getting pregnant.

    From mocking a baby mama to becoming a baby mama.

    From saying she will never sleep with married man, to…. maybe ending up as 2nd wife.

    She needs to chill.

    — Sally (@is_salsu) December 14, 2018

    The way other Baby Mamas be calling Linda Ikeji to join their association 😀😁😂 pic.twitter.com/s4tec39lsc

    — ABUJA PIKIN 🇳🇬 (@potam1304) December 14, 2018

    while a lot of Nigerians where trolling her, some still believe that her story is a lesson for all.

    The only morals from the Linda Ikeji story is simple
    1. Nobody is a fountain of knowledge.
    2. Don’t live your life based on what you read or see because those are other people’s realities. Focus on yours.
    3. It’s okay to have standards but life doesn’t respect anyone’s standards.

    — Leo Babarinde Dasilva (@SirLeoBDasilva) December 14, 2018

     Although she gave a detailed account of what happened, Nigerians still believe her version is a one sided story while hoping that Jeremi Sholaye will reply with his own side of the story.

    ‘IDIOT’ Trends on Google as  Searching for it Reveals The Image Of Donald Trump

    Open Google, Type Idiot pic.twitter.com/KZaN2yXstW

    — JustFurKids TN💥 (@justfurkids) December 13, 2018


    Google chief executive, Sundar Pichai, tried to explain the link between the two during a congressional grilling.

    “Search results are based on crawling the content of web pages,” he says. “We provide search today for any time you type in a keyword. We, as Google, have gone out and crawled and stored copies of billions of their pages in our index, and we take the keyword and match it against the pages and rank them based on over 200 signals.”

    OH MY! THIS IS HILARIOUS 😂😂

    How is this a problem? It's a totally accurate result!

    👇👇

    “Right now, if you Google the word ‘idiot’… a picture of Trump comes up. How would that happen?”

    — The Hummingbird 🐦 (@SaysHummingbird) December 13, 2018

    Even at that, according to Google Trends, “idiot” is currently the number one most searched for term in the US. I know that a lot of people carried out the experiment to be sure so, did you also search for IDIOT?

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.
