Okay
You've codedly sent the message.
All she really wants to say is that she'very bought 15 cars for family, friends and staffs sad
There is something very, very VAIN about this girl Linda that l dont like.

What if she was as rich as Mrs Alakija (Africa and Nigeria richest woman) or like Dangotte?
I bet she would ask us all to change our surnames to 'Linda' and remind us everyday that we are sinners, thats why we don thave her kind of money. grin grin

You made money, good, enjoy your money but stop stuffing it into other peoples face and using God as a cover.
Afterall, there are thousands of women in Nigeria who are younger, more beautiful, richer than you and married to boot.

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.
Oga, None was 700k. She has the right to say it again & again. She has worked & now eating fruits of her labour, let her live.
She might be lucky, Yes. But she has put so much work in. Give her the credit she deserves & stop hating.

Facebook founder was also lucky, It's called Time & Chance. So don't be a kill joy.

You don't get the gist, "and none was 700k lol"

Do you know the value of 700k in 2007? Of course she deserves to say whatever she wants and I deserve to react in my own rights.

I'm only speaking for the car dealer. The 700k means a lot to him so Linda should spare us that lol nonsense. I follow Mrs Alakija on LinkedIn, and you don't see petty "motivations" from her. Linda needs to grow up and stop acting like a village champion, she's not acting her worth.

I think you are taking it wrongly, she is not shading the Car dealer. She was saying how much she has progressed financially.

You are seeing the negatives from the post instead of focusing on the positives.

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.

Um...no one chooses to be a failure.

This Linda Ikeji hype don tire me. She's smart to have made her blog the most popular and controversial for the past decade. That is the source behind her wealth. as for those ladies working in office, thinking one day you'll be the like Linda Ikeji, you might be so wrong because her path is very different.

Yes. But regrettably, some people choose without really being conscious of it. There is enormous power in positive and negative thinking respectively. The cup someone sees as half empty is to another half full. If Buhari had been deterred by 3 failures, he won't be president today. Practice autosuggestion. Fill your mind with positive thoughts and see ur life change for good. Just like we eat food to grow, our mind is fed daily. Are these foods healthy? Negative thoughts destroy just like bad food destroy health.

@NAIRATREND

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!

Hope fully alive,

HARDDON:
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! "

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!

Oops! Dvee, what I've I done this time around? angry

While at it, I have a little puzzle question. If you can answer it, I'd send you some kuulll Recharge. Any network of your choice.

Here go:

Indomie noodles takes 3 mins to cook. Eggs take between 7-15 mins


The puzzle :

Into a pot with just enough water to cook the noodles, I place some packs of noodles and 3 eggs. How do I get both the eggs and the noodles ready to eat within 3 mins with the eggs well cooked within that time?

Your have 10mins and Your time starts counting now! grin
