John Abayomi Denies Being The Owner Of Instablog9ja, To Sue Linda Ikeji by celebgistz2: 6:46pm On Nov 15, 2018
On the verge of employment termination at The Punch, Mr Abayomi has denied being the owner of Instablog9ja and has vowed to sue Linda Ikeji in the coming days.

Following Linda Ikeji‘s revelation of a certain John Abayomi who she reported was the owner of the popular and controversial Instagram page InstaBlog9ja, the employers of the man have swung into action almost immediately, vowing to get to the bottom of it and possibly fire him if indeed he’s the brain behind it.

In the LIB report, it was alleged that Abayomi who is currently the online editor of Punch Newspapers and a former editor of Vanguard News had been running the platform since 2015, combining it with his daily duty at the 42-year-old media house.

Instablog9ja has grown to be one of the most followed handles in the Nigerian media space with 1.7 million followers. Using the Linda Ikeji model for publishing gossip and bizarre news, it usurped many a gossip site. Ironically, it was on IBJ9 that the identity of Linda Ikeji’s “baby daddy”, Sholaye Jeremi was first revealed. Before then she had hidden his identity, ostensibly because he’s a married man. While it is not clear if this was a case of her paying him back, what is known is that her story set in motion a chain of events that held the entire Punch Newspapers in a daze today.

Inside sources confirmed that no sooner had the news broke did several board members of Punch gather at the premises of the newspaper on Lagos/Ibadan Expressway for an emergency meeting.

Abayomi was summoned into a high-level editorial meeting, along with his bosses and the management and everyone is confused about the whole situation” Our sources told us.

Our source further revealed that the main bone of contention was the issue of “moonlight”, the act of having a second job while in full-time employment. We gather that the rule is very strict at Punch Newspapers and the Abayomi’s case is of extreme importance because while the newspaper has a paltry 225,000 followers on Instagram, Instablog on its part has nearly eight times as much- while incurring no overhead costs and on company time.

Our source went on: Everyone is confused and asking questions. Mr Abayomi is a dedicated man who is always in the office. I wonder where he would get the spare time to handle a blog like Instablog9ja, so I think it is untrue until investigations are complete.

At the emergency meeting, Abayomi himself was said to have denied the allegation strenuously. He maintained that the report was untrue and a fabrication and vowed to sue Linda Ikeji in the coming days for libel, false accusation and defamation of character.

The identity of the owner and handlers of Instablog has been a mystery to many social media users in Nigeria. There is zero trace of who started it in 2015 or if a team made up of different individuals run it. At various times, a number of names have been touted as owners, including “Lillian” and Hauwa Mohammed of Jaruma Empire. Even when the platform started taking on adverts, the official name on their bank accounts is “Instablog9ja”.

While the management and board of Punch Newspapers took Abayomi at his words today, they have promised to continue investigations into the matter; even as the embattled individual on his part is determined to clear his name.

I said it earlier, Punch Newspaper will never condone such.

There is a conventional law binding such in Nigerian Media space.

Even if he truly owns it without any legal trace of his personal info to it, he should sue that wh0re called Linda. She should at least know the legal ramifications to these sorts of things. Foolish b!tch! angry

The guy is probably giving her a good run for her money regarding celebrity gist and gossips. grin So she decided to wanna expose him... undecided

MEN ONLY: Let's go offtopic for a minute. If you're a man, read this:


I'm hurt to see there are too many nice guys who get used and dumped by women. With pains in my heart, I will be giving out the entire Mr. Friendzone book for free to 100 men. The free period will stop by 8 AM tommorow .

The book costs 14k, but was later reduced to 7k to enable everyone get it. Luckily, I will be giving it out for free. All men, be you a relationship pro or not, deserve to read it. You'll learn a lot.

The password will be sent to the first 3 people who request for it. Those people will help send it to the rest. If you know you will help send to others, then request for the password after you've downloaded it. The free period will last for 24 hours. It will stop by 8 AM tomorrow.
