Career › Linda Ikeji's 'Banana Island' Inspirational Letter by gift01(op): 10:02am On Oct 19, 2015
Sorry its too long
.
My name is Linda Ikeji. I'm a blogger. I'm 35
years old and I have never...never ever in my life
slept with a man for money. Not only have I never
done it, I have never even considered it...and here
I am with a house that cost me over half a billion
naira.
.
Listen, you are beautiful and you are stronger than
you know. There's absolutely nothing you can't
achieve if you set your mind to it, put your heart
and soul into it.
.
Up until five years ago, I was a struggling
entrepreneur. I can't tell you how many offices in
this Lagos I sat in for hours waiting to see people
who could support my business...but most times, I
never passed the reception area. But I never gave
up and I never stopped believing and here I am
today.
.
You too can be this..you can be better than this.
No dream is too big, no dream is too small, no
mountain is too high...it's all in your mind. It's all
up to you. If you believe in you, in your God who
is guiding you, then the sky is your starting point.
Please stop waiting around for a man to give to
you...to put food on your table and put clothes on
your back. I promise you, you can do it for
yourself. Start thinking big, believe in yourself, be
creative and start working. Realize that your
dreams are valid...and nobody will make your
dreams come true except you. Find what you are
good at. Find something that you are passionate
about. Work hard at it. Be consistent. Be patient.
Start young. Even if you're not young, it's never
too late!
.
I have been hustling since I left secondary
school..started modeling before I entered
university in 1998. Was running a modeling
agency even while I was a student and made it a
full time business after I left university. I never
doubted that I would succeed one day, because I
was determined. And please do not think this
happened over night. I've been blogging since
2006...November this year will make it exactly 9
years. God, consistency and hard work brought me
here today.
.
Unfortunately, a lot of our young girls aren't patient
and some are lazy, they want it quick and fast but
it doesn't work like that. Success takes time -
takes hard work - takes passion - takes
consistency - but more than anything else, it takes
the Grace of God.
.
I was a 30 year old broke woman and on my
birthday, a very sad and depressed me turned to
God and begged him. I told Him you promised me,
when will You fulfill Your promise? Am I not Your
child? Have I not lived according to Your
teachings? When will You bless me? Please God
help me...and with tears in my eyes, I begged Him.
I cried and I begged and I begged and I begged. A
few months later my life changed. Never
underestimate God's love for you and the power of
prayer.
.
And never stop working. Listen, I make enough
money to hire so many people to work on this
blog while I go do other things and enjoy
myself...but I don't do that. I'm up while some of
you are sleeping, and already blogging before
some of you wake up. I don't take this for granted.
I know to stay on top, I have to constantly work
and nobody will be as dedicated as I am because
this is not their own thing. It's mine and I have to
keep feeding it. So I'm constantly here!
Young ladies, I promise you...you too can do this.
.
You don't need to spread your legs for any bladdy
man - because of how much? N200k? That's how
much my shoes cost - so why should you give up
your body for that? Your sacred body? God's
temple? N200k that you can make in a week or
even in a day if you pursue your dreams and still
have your dignity intact? You think people don't
see that you're messing around with all dem old
married men and talking about it? Think ladies,
think! When next a man propositions you...tell him
to get lost, that you will get yours yourself! Abi,
aren't you a woman? You know what they say
about women? "A woman is like a tea bag, you
never know how strong she is until she gets in hot
water.". You are so strong, you don't even know!
.
Also, if you want God to bless you, you have to
have a clean heart. All these backbiting, hating on
others, trying to bring people down with hateful
words/actions etc - God doesn't like ugly. He has
over 6 billion people to look after and you think he
will pay extra attention to you if your heart is ugly?
.
Wish people well, help people when you can. Be
good to others. But more than anything else be
good to yourself. Believe in yourself. It's very easy
to give in to feelings of self-doubt and back down
when things get tough, but you have to know that
God will not give you anything you can't handle.
.
I swear to you, you are underestimating yourself. If
you know the power that you have inside. If you
know the things that you are capable of. If you
know how far you can go...how high you can reach
but you are holding yourself back because you're
afraid of failing, because you don't think you have it
in you. If only you know that you're stronger than
you think. You are so powerful, you don't even
know it. I'm not more special than you are. I don't
have two heads. We serve the same God. Why
can't you succeed? Think ladies, think.
.
Like Barack Obama's sister said, poverty is not an
excuse! I used to sell/market beer at Sheraton
hotel, Lagos when I was in university for N1,000 a
day. I once lived on 'puff puff' and garri for weeks
in UNILAG and I was supposedly a top model but
nobody knew what I was going through.
.
Trust me, I knew poverty. Did you know I lived in
Idi-oro, Mushin for 15 years? Up until when I was
25? Did you live in Mushin? Eh, so what's your
excuse? I can't even say some things here for my
family's privacy but here I am today because I
never doubted myself and I never allowed all the
doubters to distract me. I was focused. I was
determined. I worked hard and I knew the God I
served won't let me down. The road was long,
sometimes very frustrating and painful but look at
me now. God did it because he saw that I was
willing!
.
"Because I am a woman, I must make
unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one
will say, “She doesn’t have what it takes.”
They will say, “Women don’t have what it
takes.”
.
Please believe in yourself and watch God use you
to set as an example for others.
May all your dreams come true!
Kisses.
.
Oh by the way (addressing the argument I read
online this weekend) I don't do anything else. I
blog from 4am till midnight, where do I have time
to do anything else? When God wants to bless you,
He will bless you...even if you're selling toothpick. Cheers!

jagorinho:
r u surprised? wz it nt ds same congo dat denied us last afcon participation. they r trying to put themselves in the list of our perpetual beaters after argentina and cameroun. am just happy for oliseh, he maximised every opportunity to run keshi down in d media and analysing as if football is played with mouth, nw reality has come, he is struggling to cope with d "mouth reputation" he created for himself. our nfa too wont b spared, they keep appointing ex national footballers to b national team coaches even to those that cant remember d wings they played while dey were playing. going by logic i think aghahowa should b warming up to b d next national team coach, because i dont knw u gets sacked first between mourinho and oliseh.

Politics › Man Who Predicted Abuja Attacks Deletes His Twitter Handle by gift01(op): 8:26am On Oct 04, 2015
A Twitter user, Chima Okoro, who predicted the attacks in Abuja on Friday on the social networking site, has deactivated his account.

Okoro, with @chimaokoro63 as his username on Twitter, between 8.34 am and 9.12 am on October 1, had repeatedly posted: “I pray for Nigeria: there will be a bomb blast in Abuja &Lagos, Boko Haram is going to attack and kill police_army &_ Navy their evils (sic).”

In the profile picture of the account, which was captured by other users before the user deactivated it, a young man of dark complexion is seen slouching in a room with cream-coloured walls, dressed in a red T-shirt, while holding up a mobile phone in his left hand and smiling to the camera.

Checks on Twitter revealed that other users had started raising the alarm about Okoro’s tweets as early as 10 pm on Friday.
