Nollywood actor and former president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Segun Arinze, and his family, were featured on the front cover of a style magazine recently and most blogs published it.
Some readers made unsavoury comments about the actor’s wife as well as his looks which for a long time, have remained the butt of rude jokes – particularly his seeming large eyeballs.
But this time, the ‘black arrow’ star will not roll over and let the subliminals hurled at himself and his wife pass, without a response.
The response below is a text message from the star actor yesterday evening to popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, which she published on her blog and informationng.com culled it.
Dear Linda,
I want to thank you for having such a wonderful blog. Having said that, I want to say despite the fact that we have freedom of expression doesn’t give people the liberty to be reckless with words without verifying facts first.

Someone said my wife cut across as someone rude. That’s a big lie! She’s the most courteous person you can think of. Sometimes people like to take the piss.
Now my full names are Segun Aina Padonou. My father, though late, was Yoruba from Badagry. My mum is Ibo. Arinze is the Ibo name given to me by my mum. So I used it as Pseudonym. That’s why you have Segun Arinze.
And as at the last time I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see any ugly Segun. No human has a right to call another ugly because you ain’t God. You can’t give life so don’t curse or swear. Once again thanks Linda.
What do you think?
Truth be told, Segun Arinze is a cute man. He’s not anything near ugly….what will you tgen call other actors like……
Oga sEgun don’t mind them.u. are. A very cute man & u have a wonderful family.
Segun is not at all ugly and the blogger Linder is not at all close to your wife when it comes to that, beaty. So she got a big mouth like her use it as she likes.
used to wonder why pple esp comedians make jokes about his looks cos i’ve seen d man face to face and he’s not even close to being ugly. pple who make a living humiliating others will have their reward
Linda Ikeji is getting on peoples nerve,she got to breath a lil,how much has she made that makes her disrespect a married nd respected woman. May almighty God open her eyes to see that life is not all about blogging lies,insult or hatred and please u guys should tell her to stop hating on yvonne nelson.
