The Story of My Pregnancy, My Baby, My Baby Papa – Linda Ikeji

Published

on

By Precious Chukwuemeka

When news of Linda Ikeji’s pregnancy hit social media, there were varying reactions, most especially shock over the controversial blogging queen’s stance on celibacy and the increasing number of baby mothers. Even more newsworthy was the mystery behind the father of the baby, who was speculated to be Deltan oil and mogul, Sholaye Jeremi.
However, with the birth of the handsome baby boy, named Jayce Jeremi, as well as the detailed post by Linda Ikeji, explaining the events leading up to her relationship with Sholaye, including 2hour commutes, suddenly “falling pregnant” and alleged abandonment, the story has gotten more attention from the public. In the post, she revealed that
“I’ve always been open about my life but I’m sharing details about my personal life mostly because of the girls who look up to me…The father of my child is a single man and his name is Sholaye Jeremi. To be honest, at some point I thought he was my final bus stop but you know how life happens…lol. Unfortunately he and I are a completely closed chapter…I walked away from this man a million times and he came after me a million and one times. No matter how much I pushed him away, he kept coming back and me, because I couldn’t find anyone else, I kept going back…Then I fell pregnant. It wasn’t planned, it just happened…But still, I have absolutely no regret meeting Sholaye. Gosh have you seen Jayce? How can I regret that? God doesn’t make mistakes…I thought God led me to this man as my life partner but I guess He just used him as a vessel for my greatest blessing”.
The internet is currently abuzz with memes, posts and more, all trolling Miss Ikeji on not practicing what she once preached. Some of the reactions include,

@kachizone: Linda Ikeji wrote an epistle of how she celibately got pregnant out of wedlock (lol), hence becoming a baby-mama which she consistently criticized – karma is serving her a perfect dose that nobody is perfect! “Nobody holy pass”
@_Seunfunmi___: I know one popular aunty that criticized a certain category of women. Now she has joined them and I’m seeing the latest edition of bedtime stories. Linda Ikeji the latest baby mama
@sojihausa: The only thing I got from her story is she used 2hrs to drive from Banana Island to Mobil and she fell into pregnancy #lindaikeji
@NubianHuman: This Linda Ikeji story…if you criticize something long enough, you will find a way to become it.
@TheAmusan simply said, “That Linda Ikeji story is just super story”

These shocked and amused reactions are not only from the general public as well. The ever jovial personality posted a video shot by a friend, in which the friend jokingly referred to her as “baby mama”, to which she burst out laughing. The media personality in self-amusement captioned the video “How I react when my friends call me a baby mama” followed by several laughing emoticons.

Last weekend, the beautiful Linda took baby, Jayce to church to be dedicated, surrounded by family and friends who were there to support her. Sholaye was, however, missing from the whole affair and has not reacted to the posts, although some friends have come to his defense claiming that his relationship with Linda was nothing but a fling and she had gotten pregnant in order to trap the billionaire with marriage.

Juju music singer, King Sunny Ade, has finally spoken to dispel the swirling rumour that he has been kidnapped.

For several days, social media platforms were abuzz with speculation that the musician had been abducted, leaving his fans both worried and confused.

In response to the frenzy, Sunny Ade took to a video released by his wife, Mrs. Bose Olubo-Adegeye, to dispel the unfounded rumours.

“Nobody kidnapped me,” the renowned singer said with his accustomed calmness.

“I pray, as I don’t want anybody to kidnap me. I believe the whole world is in love with me. This is me, King Sunny Ade.

“I have to thank God and you, my fans, for the concern. I have been doing my shows. I was at a show last Saturday at Lekki, Lagos. I am on my way to have a show, and I am coming back again to play in Lagos, as well,” he said.

Sunny Ade, fondly referred to as KSA, reassured his fans, thanking them for their concern and love.

The musician explained that the confusion surrounding his absence could have been linked to the fact that some of his children hadn’t seen him recently.

“I know my children are in love with me, and they want to see me. I didn’t go anywhere. This is me. I thank the children, too, for their concern as well,” KSA added.

The 78-year-old star, who is known for his vibrant performances and contributions to Nigerian music, expressed his continued passion for music.

“By God’s grace, enjoyment continues. I am still in music. Music is my life; it is my business, and I will continue to do it.”

By

From its prestigious debut at the Lagos International Theatre Festival to a phenomenal Christmas run in Lagos with 20 sold-out shows, and a successful international tour in Pretoria, South Africa in partnership with the South African State Theatre, Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions is proud to announce the highly-anticipated return of its hit stage play, Dear Kaffy – Diary of a Single Woman, to Lagos for a special Easter showing.

The play, directed by the acclaimed Queen of theatre in Nigeria, Bolanle Austen-Peters, will be live at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos, from April 18–21 and April 26–27, 2025, with two shows daily at 3PM and 7PM.

A Story That Reflects So Many, Yet Tells One Woman’s Truth, Dear Kaffy – Kike’s Story is a heartfelt and relatable narrative that follows Kikelomo Olota, a brilliant 35-year-old Lagos woman navigating the complex terrain of love, identity, family pressure, and societal expectations.

From her teenage years, Kike was celebrated for her academic excellence, yet felt out of place among her peers due to her inexperience with love and relationships. Eager to fit in, she chose popularity over authenticity, plunging herself into a series of complicated relationships.

There’s Femi, the smooth-talking charmer with a hidden agenda. Then Emeka, seemingly perfect until it’s revealed he’s already married. Through each heartbreak, Kike learns valuable lessons about herself and the kind of love she truly desires.

As pressure mounts from her parents especially her father, Kike is introduced to Debo, a potential suitor who offers hope and something new. Just as she starts to open her heart again, her ex, Tamuno, resurfaces, igniting emotional chaos and forcing her to confront her past.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Dear Kaffy explores the emotional complexities of a modern African woman. Through humour, music, and sharp social commentary, the play challenges cultural norms and celebrates the courage it takes to choose authenticity over conformity.

A Stellar Production, A Stellar Cast
Produced by Mrs. Bolanle Austen-Peters, this theatrical gem features a powerhouse cast including: Uzo Osimkpa, who plays the lead role of Kike; Yewande Osamein (Tolani), Abiola Lepe (Bidemi), Sharon Onyegbula (Shalewa) and Ralph Okoro (Tamuno), Hector Amiwero (Debo), Obiora Maduegbuna (Debo), Floyd Igbo (Femi), Bimbo Manuel who plays the role of Father, and Bukola Ogunnote who plays the role of Mother.

Some of the best hands in the industry are also on the crew list, with Stage Manager being Ikenna Jude Okpala while Kehinde Oretimehin and Deji Aremu directed the music for this beautiful production.

“The quality of storytelling and performance in Dear Kaffy is excellent, it sells itself,” says Bolanle Austen-Peters, founder of BAP Productions. “This play gives a voice to the everyday African woman while celebrating her strength and vulnerability. We are honoured to bring it back home for Easter.”

Now, the story returns to where it all began, Lagos, bringing with it a renewed energy and even more to look out for, building on the emotional richness that left audiences spellbound across two nations. Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or coming back for another laugh and cry, Dear Kaffy promises a soulful, hilarious, and unforgettable Easter experience.
