Linda Ikeji has set off a firestorm again – this time for revealing the identity of a hitherto hidden blogger.
The owner of Instablog9ja, who Linda said is John Abayomi was the former online editor of Vanguard News and current online editor of Punch newspaper.
Twitter is not taking it lightly with the new mother for letting the cat out of the bag.
Instablog9ja has been the fiercest rival to Linda Ikeji’s blog. Twitter users say the revelation was done in a bad taste because of the strong competition Instablog9ja has given to her blog.
Linda Ikeji reveals the owner of Instablog9ja. While every blogger is waiting for others to post something they can copy (they didn’t even know Linda was pregnant until she revealed it herself) she is constantly ahead with exclusives and breaking news.

Many believe Abayomi’s life and job may be in danger because of the sort of stories on his blog. They also believe his current employer may frown at him for moonlighting.
Ladies are so petty, so Linda Ikeji reveals the identity of instablog owner out of envy. Knowing very well dat his life will be at risk because of the things he has posted, if not for anything a blogger should protect each other.this is really a dick move and I hate her for dis?

Celebrities, it is believed, are in joyous mood over the revelation because of the ‘damage’ Instablog9ja may have done to their reputation.
Linda Ikeji revealing the owner of Instablog9ja is a childish move on her part. She should have upped her game instead of trying to crash-land another wonderful initiative by someone else.
Grow up sis
