Who is KAREN IGHO trying to fool?
Is Karen Igho lonely?
By Samod Biobaku
Big Brother Amplified winner, Karen Igho has found her way
into the headlines again and this time, the story has nothing to do with triumph.
Rather, the model appears to have fallen into the error of assuming that her
new found celebrity status is perhaps a walk in the park.
How else does one explain her recent attempt to lure her
Facebook fans to her Twitter account by claiming that she has maxed out her
friends limit on Facebook and as a result cannot accept any more friend request
on the popular online social networking website.
The busty Big Brother Amplified winner appears not to be
familiar with the popular saying: “You can fool some of the people all of the
time or all the people some of the time but you can never fool all the people
all the time.”
Ironically, Igho clearly does not share this school of
thought as made manifest in the falsehood in her declaration.
“I have reached my friends limit on Facebook can't accept
any more friend request but you can follow on twitter @karen_Igho,” she had
written on her Facebook wall.
First, it is an established fact that the maximum number of
friends a single account can accommodate on Facebook is five thousand (5, 000).
By implication, the moment your number of friends reaches 5, 000, the user can
no longer add any additional friend. At the point, there are two options that
open up to the user are to either delete former friends and replace them with
new ones or to open another account entirely like most celebrities have learnt
to do.
However, in Karen’s case, she has told a blatant lie. If she
wants her Facebook fans to migrate to her Twitter account by following her, she
should appeal to them to do so rather than claim she has maximized her number
of friends on Facebook and cannot add anymore friends.
A visit to her Facebook account revealed that she has a total
of two thousand and forty one (2, 041) friends contrary to the five thousand
(5, 000) she claims to have.
As expected, Nigerians have raised an eyebrow to this
discovery and have begun to play with several permutations and scenarios that
could be responsible for Igho’s action.
Is Igho lonely? Is she desperate for attention? Is she in
need of proper publicity guidance or is she outright confused? Well, all these
are questions on the lips of the online community and we’re keeping our singers
crossed on this issue.
To further buttress the fact that Igho might not be lying
but has clearly manipulated the truth, a random visit to the Facebook account
of a cross section of Nigerian celebrities revealed that indeed Igho is yet to
maximize her friend-adding capacity on Facebook.
For the records, popular music producer, ID Cabasa has a
total of four thousand nine hundred and seventy one (4, 971) friends on
Facebook. Popular Nollywood actress and singer, Anita Joseph has 4, 485 friends
on Facebook. Amstel Malta Box office (AMBO) girl, Uche Odoh has 4, 833 friends,
Big Brother Nigeria
All these are clear pointers that Igho is yet to
utilise even half of her friend base. The question still stands – What is Karen
Igho up to?
If she keeps doing her thing she will kep the friends she wants,.
