2014 was even a better year. I was able to realize a lot
of my dreams. I even bought my dream ride...lol. They
tried to shut me down...but God showed them He was
bigger. And that experience brought me more readers
and fans...and took LIB to a higher level.
But 2015 has so far been the most amazing year of my
life! I've touched more lives this year than I'd ever done
before. I helped 15 girls start their own businesses and
everyday, a young girl tells me I inspire her. That means
more to me than any material thing. Just being someone
people look up to is a great feeling. Sharing my story
and people learning from it and saying it's pushed them
to want to better themselves makes me feel really good.
And I did something this year that amazed myself, my
family and everyone else. I bought a house in Banana
Island, Ikoyi...lol. Before I paid for the house, I remember
my banker looking at me like I was crazy...lol. She was
like 'you're not going to spend all that money on a
house?'...I said watch me...lol. She tried to convince me
to buy a house in Lekki and invest the rest in other
properties and businesses but I was adamant. The
house was my dream home...and I believe in living the
life of your dreams...because one day, all of this will be
over. She even wanted me to get a mortgage to finance
the house but I refused. Till today, I still pinch myself. I
can't believe how my life has changed so much. Again,
all thanks to you guys!
I know buying a house for that amount in such a place
confused a lot of people. Many didn't believe I could
afford it...and to be honest, I don't blame them. If I were
them, I'd have my doubts too. If you don't understand
how this internet business works, you would never get
how a blogger can afford it. But let's put it this
way...Perez Hilton, who is the biggest blogger in the US
is worth over $30million (Google it). He started blogging
in 2005, just a year before I started blogging in 2006...
and I am supposed to be the biggest blogger in Africa.
Would it not be a shame if I'm not worth even $5million?
Lol...especially when 90% of the companies in Nigeria
who advertise online, advertise on LIB!
[b]I read somewhere that a politician may have bought me
the house...LMAO! I find that hilarious! Inside me and
politicians, who get money pass? Lol. Politicians don't
even live in Banana Island... they can't afford to on their
salaries and remunerations...except those who are
stealing government money and even those will not be
stupid enough to do that before EFCC comes for them.
There's so much money to be made in media.Hundreds
of brands, individuals, multinationals plug into your
platform. If not for LIRS (hehe), I would have thought
many of you interested in online business how you can
make money. But I'd be exposing myself. Lol. (But
maybe one day I'll do a one-day seminar and teach you
guys the tricks...*wink*).
You remember when Oprah was still running her show?
When Forbes released list of highest earning individuals,
she would always top the list with like $300million
earnings in one year, while actors and actresses would
make less than $50m in year? That's media! Me that I'm
aiming to be the first black billionaire blogger from
Africa! Hehe. (some people think I already am sef...)
I'm opening up a bit more so you guys understand how
this business works. And for upcoming bloggers, the
worst thing you would ever do to your business is
collect money from anyone for anything other than an ad
campaign on your site. It's better for people to spread
something that is false rather for it to be the truth. If you
collect these things, it will come back to haunt you.
That's a guarantee! I've never done it. Will never do it! I
plan to be around for a long time.
And about all the negativity being spread online...please
my darlings, ignore! When you are on top, there's so
much envy. People try so much to bring you down. Your
success causes them so much headache and they look
for ways to discredit you, to bring you down to their
level. Remember what they tried to do to me last year? I
over came that and will continue to over come. They will
keep coming at me with what they have...this will never
stop as along as I keep staying on top...and it's okay
because I plan to keep shining...lol. If they are this mad
that I bought a house in Banana Island, what would they
do when I eventually buy a private jet? Lol.
For every successful person out there...or just
succeeding at something...these people will always
exist! Your success will pain them so much, they will
want your downfall. Just keep your head up and keep
doing you and keep shining! To keep succeeding is your
best revenge! God is your strength![/b]
Anyway, just wanted to share a bit more and tell you
guys I am giving away N1million to LIB readers as a
way to appreciate your kindness and support towards
me like I did the last two years. May God continue to
guide and protect you guys! I will do another post letting
you guys know how the money will be shared.

While I think it's high time to cut this girl some slack. I've noticed that this her post is full of pride and arrogance. The Oprah Winfrey she is quoting will never come out to flaunt her stuff like that. We are all grateful to God for her success. There is no need to drumb it into our ears every day when we don't even see a dime out of it. Though we can't dictate to her how she should spend her money, but we can only advice her to at least open a charity organisation so that the society can also benefit form it.

What is Linda Ikeji saying here? Is she confessing indirectly or what, please try to use that money you are lavishing on vanity to help the poor and needy, stop sitting down there calling names of bloggers that have achieved in the time past, have you ever taken out time to see their donations to charity and not your lean 1m you planned sharing for people reading your blog, please girl go borrow some sense.....or tell us, how much Dasuki give you self.
