Celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji Shares hilarious story of a Car she couldn’t afford back in 2007.

Read story below :-

I bought this car in 2007. It cost 700k back then but I made a down payment of 350k to pay the remaining 3 months later. After 3 months, I’d been able to pay only 100k of the remaining 350k & the car owner came to my house one day to seize the car. Lol. I can laugh now but it wasn’t funny back then. I remember my dad followed me to the man’s house to beg for him to return it to me and give me more time. The man refused. So I was carless for about 2 months but because I knew how important having a car was to my business (I was always running around), I knew it was top priority to raise the balance..
I had a modeling agency back then and so I started going to bother all the ad agencies owing me money.

I became a nuisance at their offices…lol. Before I’d wait for them to call and ask me to come collect my cheque but now, I wanted the money now now. Some managed to give me, some didn’t but I was finally able to raise the 250k balance & got my car back.
Fast forward to 5 years later. Between 2012 to 2018, I’ve probably bought about 15 cars for family, friends and staff. And none was 700k…lol.

Seeing this photo again brought back memories and reminded me of how God works. And how your life can change from not having enough to having so much, you can share with others.

You life can change for the better in an instant and that instant can last forever. Just remember to always hold on to God. He’s watching. He’s seeing your struggles and one day, He’ll hold your hands and never let go. .
.
God is holding my hand so much right now that I was able to solely finance lindaikeji.tv from advertising money made from another platform he blessed me with…lindaikejisblog. All the crazy equipment we have, studios, office, mansion, content, manpower etc was solely financed 100% by LIB.



God works in ways we sometimes don’t understand! He can make you wait. I waited for 14 years. He hasn’t forgotten you. Be patient. He listens. He’s watching. And He will eventually come to hold your hands when it’s your turn. And when he does, your life will never be the same. Just never stop believing in Him. Your time is near. I declare God’s enormous blessings into your life. Say amen!

everything is a process,believe in the process and with patient and faithfulness you would finally get there.
And also note that no matter how small your victory is always remember to look back at where you are coming from.
because that helps you to be grateful even when you face bigger challenges,
and just a side note everyone faces challenges no matter how big or rich they are,if you arent facing one you are not growing.
selah.

One thing I learnt from her stories Never Give Up in what you always dreamed of... even if you don't have it now it will come tomorrow, and will look at yesterday and smile. I know with God I can make if only you believe.

Amen o!

I never used to like this lady but for this, I think she's got a story and she doesn't deserve all the insults lazy Nigerian youths are hurling at her.

She mixed hard work and God work together and the result is amazing.

This is a consolation for some young entrepreneurs like us who sometimes have lost relationships and other pleasures just because of the PROCESS.

Success stories are always sweet but Success secrets are usually bitter because of their demands.

I love you Linda! Your post gives me a reason to keep working even when it doesn't make sense.
