Interesting. But if they will serve the country well, I don't care how they got the appointments. I believe that when the leader leads well, the people under him will have no choice but to do the same. And if they don't, he can always check them.

Everybody wan form grass to grace story...abeggi

But her story really was from grass to grace.

Chai! Look at how hungry the man looks. Are you sure he made any money from the fraudulent move? God help us all. Too much suffering in this country.

Hmm! Yellow pawpaw.

Nice. Nigeria is gradually shaping up to be like the advanced countries of this world. But I have to say we still have a pretty long way to go. I like that Konga office.

Hmm! Where has this man been all this while. He is back with his controversial yarns.

chubbygal:
What about husband and wife nko wey be celebrities?

Oya, quickly go and compile the list and put it up before someone steals your idea. You might make Front Page.

I hear you but it does not change my stand.

Good luck with that.

none of my fvcking business

Your comment is like a man walking into a bar and shouting at the bar tender that he doesn't want beer. If you don't want to drink beer, don't walk into a bar. If you don't want to read about Linda Ikeji, don't click on the link...unless maybe you are mentally ill.

dammytosh:
Dear Linda,

Learn to behave like a queen, then your King will surface.

Bragging about everything you buy including SHOES, BAGS, DRESS on instagram makes me wonder the kind of King that will descend from his throne of values and take you as his queen. It is not a criteria no doubt but you understand what i mean.

No matter how successful you are, I still believe it is a poverty mentality that screams about every achievement as if it is the end of the world.

Suddenly more people now know that there is an Island where Banana is planted called Banana Island. A lot of people have bought houses and lived there for years without this much noise.

Your well over 500 Million house is an awesome achievement but i know a section of Banana Island where a plot of Land is around A Billion Naira.

I have read Ibikun Awosika's book titled "The Girl Entrepreneurs" and I am inspired with what ladies are doing as enterpreneurs.
Making us believe this noise is because you did not eat banana to achieve them still does not justify it.

I hear you say that you want to show the girls that hardwork pays ? I will say that you keep quiet and just say that the grace of God pays.

If it by hardwork, Laila is a blogger, a banker, a mother and a house wife. Those who have worked in a bank knows what diligence mean to combine the 3 not to mention Stella's blog.

When i see a lady in the same Range Rover we could not sleep over when you bought it. I smile and wish my girls don't taste so much poverty that wealth will drive them in sane.

I am not hating on you and have no reason to. As a matter of fact i have been visiting your blog minimum of 365 times in a year for over 3 years running now.

Congratulations on Your Range, House and also Marriage and Child in advance.

Even after achieving all that 'feat' you might still feel empty. I am happy for the grace of God and his blessing over your life.

Regards.

See the epistle you typed...Na wa for your own level of bad belle o! I wonder why people can't see what this lady is trying to do. She doesn't posts the cars and the houses, and the shoes and bags with the intention of belittling anyone, or trying to say she is better than anyone. She posts them and make young girls know they can make money the legitimate way without sleeping around. And she also encourages young entrepreneurs coming from nothing...giving them hope that they can become successful and leave poverty for good. She always repeats it over and over, YOU CAN MAKE AS MUCH AS I MAKE, OR EVEN MORE.

Deejavuu:
Very intelligent write up. I know she's trying to encourage younger ladies and all. Very nice of her and congrats once again to her.



But can y'all please please please drop this Linda this Linda that .. She doesn't write about Nairaland on her blog the way you guys carry her news here. Kilode

LMAO!!! Don't worry, after this week, people will forget about Linda and continue putting up Yemi Alade stories everyday.

Hmm! I think you need to remove Davido's brother from the list. How many people know who Chairman HKN is? And about Yomi Casual, I didn't know he was AY's brother. Thanks for that information.

Yes, that's what she said on a post off her blog this morning. She posted some pictures of her new half a billion Naira home in Lagos, and she took time out to talk about how rough the road to success was for her. Read her words below.


"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."


This lady truly deserves all the riches she is currently enjoying. Linda keji sure paid her dues.

ok

Work from home, don't go out. That's the only way you can avoid it...that's how I avoid it.

She is still a virgin, that's why she is talking like that.

Ever since the news broke that Linda Ikeji got a house in Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos for half a billion Naira, a lot of negative things have been said about her. Most people believe she couldn't have gotten all that money without sleeping with a few rich men. No one wants to believe her blog can afford her a house of 500 million Naira. I was with some business men on Friday night, and we argued for about 3 hours. None of them wanted to believe she bought the house from money made off her blog. I was the only one that defended her.


It seems she has been hearing the words around town about her, and she decided to put things straight. Of cos most won't still believe her words, but because I am in the same business as her, and know how much she earns monthly; I believe her.


This morning, she put up pictures of her new house on her blog, and accompanied it with some history behind her success. Read excerpts of what she wrote below.

"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."

-Linda Ikeji

epelumi42:
Nairaland obviously contain more content. But people prefer a more refined and handpicked news by going to Linda.

True.

Good post, but I think you were a bit one sided at the beginning...leaning more towards the side of Nairaland. Hate her or love her, that girl Linda makes a whole lot of money from her gossip blog. Funny enough, I sat with a bunch of analytic experts/advertisers on Friday evening, and we discussed this two websites (Nairaland and Linda's blog), and their earning potentials, and how much they actually earn from ad placements on their websites, and Linda came up on top. It is not that she gets more traffic, her blog is just more advertiser friendly. I don't know if it is the way Nairaland is broken into segments, or the high level of tribalism and childish comments on this forum, but advertisers prefer Linda's blog. The lady makes between 25-40 million Naira from her blog monthly.


And about the Alexa ranking you put up, Linda looks a lot lower than Nairaland, but before she bought her new domain name a few weeks ago, she used to hover around 10-12 in Nigeria. Right now, she uses lindaikejisblog.com, which has a 21 ranking in Nigeria, while her old domain, lindaikeji..com has a 28 alexa ranking in Nigeria.

LaraiBoluwaji:
This is so vulgar... I really hope she knows the danger of what she is doing by all these unnecessary publicity.

A fruit that hides itself will not be plucked, but will grow to be the ripest in the tree.

...And then it falls to the ground, and is eaten by ants, or gets rotten. What a waste of existence.

bestower:
I dont really envy her buh seriously this is getting too much this days about linda mansion,previously it was tonto dikeh story, now attention has shifted to linda.cant u guys get some other real news and leave this young alone to enjoy her life,afterall,mr seun is richer than her but we do not hear much about his display of wealth.Abeg let me breathe.

If I hear. Seun doesn't make half of what she makes. You don't have to believe me though, but this is fact.

ignis:
When should we be expecting Seun's N850 Million Mansion @ Banana Island?

If Linda can do it, Seun can do it too.

Na beans? Linda is richer...she makes over 30 million Naira off ads on her blog monthly. Seun doesn't make that much even though his website gets a lot more traffic than Linda's blog.

Ograke:
Lol.

It's because of people like you that she did this. To create the impression that she's stinkingly rich and far better than her peers.

She's richer than Seun? lmao

You can google it, Nairaland's worth beats Linda's blog hands down. In 2011, an American company offered $1m to Seun to buy Nairaland which the dude rejected.

The guy is just very introverted and nerdy. He detests attention.

Story

Atmmachine:
That bitcch is not even richer than seun, yet she keeps acting like she's rich.

How many visitors visits her blog daily ?? That the number of people that visits Nairaland in just an hour.

Dude, Nairaland gets more traffic than Linda's blog, but Linda is 10 times richer than Seun. I don't care if you believe me or not.

7Alexander:
No they dont, i've always said it, and will continue saying it, Nairaland is horribly losing relevance and value by the day, all thanks to the questionable mods. You go to other sections and see beautiful topics wasting away, without no one taking notice. But the moment the mods see 'Wizkid wearing a wrist watch' or 'See rita dominics cleavage', they will hurriedly push it to fp. Why not just change the name to 'Nairagossipblog.com'. Nonsense[i][/i]

Nairaland is now a business...and businesses have to make money. From record, there are more ignorant people than smart people in the world. So, you can't blame them when they see that the ignorant posts get the most views. More views equals more ad clicks, which equals more money. But at least, once in a while, they push intelligent posts to front page.

DICKtator:
Never believed in empty barrels make the loudest noise till I read her reply.......

Yea...she sounds like a re.tard.
