Na so. How everybody one take make am?

You are where you are because not everybody can be there. If we all could, whatever it is you are doing wouldn't be special and your story wouldn't make it to nairaland.


While we should all try to make the best out of life, most of us are still going to have to accept that we all can't have fabulous success stories and tales to tell. And that's perfectly fine too..

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!

Yes. Believe. Linda was a no name a decade ago. Nothing grantees she will stay afloat in the next decades. The reigning names in the past are no where to be found today. Small kids do not knw that Abiola was at a time synonymous with money. Now it is Dangote. Believe and u will be among those to control the next decade.

I read this and smiled as I always do when I'm faced with challenging times.

I always laugh them off as people around would go wondering if I'm alright. " how can he be faced with this huge challenge and he still laughs, still goes to church, dances and worships God like he ain't the one going through that.

Little did they know why I always laugh.


In my mind, I always go thinking: " this is going to be one hell of a divine motivational talk to some teenagers sometimes in the future. So I put myself in their shoes and laugh at the moment.

Get to a point where nothing bothers you. For in the mist of lack and his disciples worries in the wilderness, Jesus said to them: " Tell the people to sit down" ( and worry not). "for he himself knew what to do" 3 loaves 2 fishes? That is a miracle! That lil thing in your hand is the miracle you looking for!

Even in the mist of the raging storm and their boat was getting floaded, he was asleep, peacefully. Then he woke and spoke forth " Peace! Be Still! " never forget to pray. And speak forth what you want to see in your life and biz daily.

There are scriptures I hold very dear:

1. Gen 12:2( that is God's covenant with me.) And no matter what I go through, he would always come through. Ama live in that moment to the fullest. An idea whose time has come cannot be held bound. Whoohoo!

2. Psalm 23 Gen 8:22, Luke 11:13 Mat 6:30-34

3. Num 23:19


Apply the talent you have and Clive to God while at it, you can't be poor. For as a father, it is his responsibility to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory!

No, I'm not a preacher man. Was born a worshipper! cool

....Scriptural Sense Pill!

I have learnt to take what I hear with a pinch of salt.
There is always some secret behind wealth.

Remember wealth is not always from God, so anybody can quote God, God.

Good luck to her.

Am I the only one who finds this message very offensive and disgusting?

What's the meaning of "and none was 700k lol"??

What's the young man supposed to do? Leave you to continue to drive a car you couldn't afford at that time?

This message like others is totally not necessary. Everybody will not be as rich as you are. Before your career started, some have been working like elephant and serving that same God you claim to serve yet they're nowhere near success.

The secret of your success is simple: you started blogging at the early stage (one of, if not, the first dedicated bloggers in Nigeria) and you stayed true to your calling while Google pays. That's all.

U are welcome. God never created us to suffer limitations. All limitations are man made. Linda could never have found her level without believing she could. We to some extent determine what we become. God blesses our hustle. Fact is, u can never be if u never believed u can. Can do and can be spirit will take you really far. If Linda is sincere, she will say it loud that she isn't where she aimed at, even today. So Failure shouldnt be a deterrent. Nobody ever won wout failing. The greatest in history failed several times but had one thing in common. They never gave up.
