"I?ve Been Moody Lately" - Www.LindaIkejisBlog.Com
"I?ve been moody lately
It?s been going on for a while now. Since December I think. One minute I?m happy and living this great life, the next minute I don?t want anyone talking to me. I?m angry for no reason.
I used to have mood swings back in the day, from my early teens to maybe my mid twenties. I was the queen of snobs; l was so good at making people feel like they don?t exist...I mean I went through five years of University with less than three friends...others I ignored. But as I grew older, I started gradually leaving those moody days behind me. I thought I was completely over it...its kinda back.
Nothing in particular triggers it, I just find myself not in the best of moods. Nowadays I get easily angry; I?ve become aggressive, impatient, rude sometimes. It's like something is messing with my head. I don?t like it.
I don?t know what the problem is. I don?t know if it?s lack of sex, lack of a boyfriend...I know it?s not money, ?cos I?m making more money now than ever before. Not only am I making money from my business, which has been really great lately, I?ve also started making hundreds of thousands of naira from this blog on a monthly basis...that should make me happy right? Well, what the hell is wrong with me half the time then?
These days I?m hardly ever in the mood to socialize. I get all these invites to events, but I haven?t been to any... I didn?t even go for the Future Awards.
Yesterday I walked out on a client who wanted me to direct a billboard shoot for him. He was making all these demands and didn?t want to pay much and I just lost it. I got up and walked out of his office. I?ve never done anything like that before. I didn?t even call to apologize.
Today, I was supposed to have meetings with a client my company is organizing the Unilag trade fair for and another client I?m helping to organize a show for next Friday...but guess what? I haven?t stepped out of my house all day. I didn?t even go to the office.
I don?t know what is wrong with me. Maybe I?m stressed? I?m doing so many things at the same time. I?m trying to revive my magazine and I?m co-producing this new show, I?m running my business, I?m running this blog all by myself, I?m responsible for all these people ...I?m taking care of all these people...no one?s taking care of me. It's lonely sometimes. Maybe all this is beginning to get to me? I don?t know, I?m just, I mean there?s so much I?m thankful for. So much! But sometimes I just...
Anyway, just felt like sharing that. Thanks for reading.
God bless
Linda"

I agree with anon 5:24AM, most of these awards are so Lagos – centered that it kinda becomes boring.
You know… same ole, same ole.
They should try other states in Nigeria, especially, the Eastern parts, i tell you – places like Enugu town.
One will be surprised on how far the people there have gone, in terms of, fashion and entertainment.
It is just like saying, “oh, New York is where is at,” meanwhile you don’t even want to know how it is going down in places like Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Francisco, not to talk of Tuscon Arizona. These are just examples.
Back to the main point; the organisers of these award shows, i would suggest, should try other states like i aforementioned.
It will be good, i am positive about that. And it will make a lot of changes, it will be fresh, innovative because it is like, “all coming together in preparation for the olympics and the end results are just too phenomenal.”
Ok. forgive the pun but i guess one knows what i mean.
Organisers: pls, try other states, it would be good.
Congrats to the nominees: you guys are not boring.

"News" - Www.LindaIkejisBlog.Com
"Stickers on Nigerian cars
Cars in Nigeria now zoom the streets with stickers associated with the class the car belongs to.
On most jeeps, you see the sticker: "the Lord has lifted me up"
On S-class, E-class, C-class, Honda accord, Prelude and other cars in that category, you see the sticker: "I am the apple of God's eyes".
On cars like 504, and other tokunbos (TRO TRO), you will notice the sticker: "Touch not my anointed".
On cars like the good old Beetle and Panel Vans (Salake) you" ll see the sticker: "Let the weak say I am strong".
There are other cars especially those that cannot pass MOT or any other road worthiness test .
These cars are simply moving coffins --- they have no brand name and no trace of manufacturers or country of origin.
They are more liable to fall apart any moment. (You may need to hold the door with your hand or with a piece of string). Guess what sticker you see on these ones? "Relax, God is in control
Some other cars have amazing messages like;
- Givers never lack
- The Stuggle Continues
- No King as God
- Man must wack
- To become a man is not a day's job
- Beware, others have gone
- Horn before overtaking
- Wetin lawyers dey do sef
- The land is good
-Let my enemies live long to see my progress
- Slow and Steady
Naija no dey carry last position. we are endowed and gifted."

@ anon 10:31AM, your comments, “she is fat, seriously, she should be happy if any man finds her attractive.” was uncalled for, that is, if you ask me.
her size does not have anything whatsoever to do with her personality.
do you know her in real life? have you met her before?
i understand that she is a big girl looking at her picture on the gistmaster’s site.
and it doesn’t leave room for anyone to be judgemental of her due to her size.
thinking about it though – she might not be as fat as you make it look/sound.
and even if she is fat, big deal, who cares.
it could be her choice to be fat or it could be her genes.
then again, it is not every woman that wants to be skinny, likewise, vice versa.
one can be big, and loving it and it tends to attract good men.
so, pls, do away with the menetality “that big/fat girls can’t attract good men.” as it is not only having a man but having a good man.
this is not an attack on you, it is just that we: women, females, ladies, girls, have to start working together to avoid “evil” name calling that are not necessary.
"Linda Ikeji Reveals How God Took Her From Mushin To Banana Island In Exclusive Interview" - Www.TakeMeToNaija.Com

Linda Ikeji, the businesswoman who has over time become very influential and wealthy with her online business, is also very controversial.
Recently, she reflected on how God changed her status from Mushin to Banana Island in an interview with Encomium.
Below is the full interview:
How will you describe your journey, from the days of hustling for modelling jobs to blogging and now social networking?
The journey has been amazing. I didn’t expect to be here today. When I started hustling for modelling those days, blogging didn’t exist. When I started my blog in November 2006, I didn’t know it would change my life like it has.
I love to write but I didn’t think that five years from now, this would happen, it has really been an amazing journey. I am extremely grateful for it. A lot of us are on social media but I can say it has changed my life. I am grateful for how far I have gone. I am thankful to God.
Blogging was not popular when you started, what actually attracted you to it?
I didn’t know there was anything called blogging then, I wasn’t familiar with it. At a time, I was a model and people knew me, they wrote about me, that was Belllanaija online. That was my first encounter with blogging. I saw the story and I noticed it was nice. It was a good experience for me. I went there the second day to read more stories. I was going there constantly to read stories. At a point, I thought about setting up my own and that was it.
When you started in the beginning, did you know you would go this far?
No, I didn’t. That is why I am extremely grateful for how far I have come.

No, I didn’t. That is why I am extremely grateful for how far I have come.
At what point did Linda Ikeji have her breakthrough? When you are passionate about something, you will put your all in it. I was blogging very passionately till 2010. That was when it occurred to me that I had built a lot of followership. I didn’t know brands were watching me, I didn’t think everything would translate to money. The first time they came to meet me to post something for money, I was surprised. It sounded strange to me. Niyi Tabiti was the first person to send me an advert rate. I was surprised too but I took it.
In January 2011, I had my own advert rate and was sending it out to people. By February, people started paying me, and that was it.
Was there a point you wanted to quit?
Yes, on my 30th birthday. I was broke, I was depressed. I was still borrowing money to survive. I was very angry with myself. I felt like a failure. I would open my laptop and blog, I would cry and cry. I didn’t know where God was leading me. My life practically changed afterwards.
Can you tell us your relationship with artistes, you have written a lot about them?
I have a cordial relationship with a lot of artistes. I have had issues with some of them Wizkid and Olamide, but I haven’t had issues with anyone of those people. I do more good to them than bad.
How much does Linda make in a year?
I cannot tell you that.
How rich is Linda Ikeji?
Rich enough, whatever rich means.
A lot of people have been debating your wealth, they believe you are one of the richest bloggers?
About being the richest bloggers, I can agree with you. I talk to a lot of clients and when they do their plan for online publicity, 98 percent put my name on the online platform. A lot of people advertise with me. I guess that in all modesty, I probably make more money than others. But I can’t say how rich I am. I may be rich as they say or richer than they think.

From the feedback you get, do you feel loved or hated? A mix of both. I get a lot of hate and lots of love but I try to hold onto the hate. A lot of people don’t know me, I have not met them before and I didn’t offend them. I understand when people like Wizkid and Olamide lashed out at me because I wrote about them. I have been depressed and angry and my anger is usually towards those who are successful. Some might just hate because of what they see around me, they can vent because of depression or anger as well.
People say you write negative stories about your friends?
It is not true. I try as much as possible not to be friends with celebrities. When you are friends with them, they would call you when you write about their friends. I don’t really write negative stories about people. I still make a lot of money writing positive stories.
Is Linda bothered that she is still single?
Marriage will come when it comes.
Is it that you’re not getting proposals from men?
I get a lot of proposals. Many people say that when you are successful, people run. It is a lie. That is when more people come. But unfortunately, I have what I am looking for. I keep telling people that it is not as if men are scarce, but the type of man I am looking for is scarce. I want a man I can look up to. Someone that will motivate me, somebody that is successful in his own career path and someone that I can learn from.
Can you marry a poor guy?
No, I can’t. He doesn’t have to be rich but he must be successful. When I was 30, my standards were high, I wasn’t focusing on marriage and kids, it is just of recent I started thinking about it. I just need a successful man, a good man, a God-fearing and one that like groceries.
A lot of people want to know how you got your wealth?
From blogging! A thousand percent is from blogging. I don’t do any other thing. There is so much money to be made from blogs that people do not know.
How many staffers do you have?
I have over 30. Last month was the first time I paid a lot of people. I was like, I could have kept this whole money for myself but it is part of expansion and growth.
Do you think you court controversy or just misunderstood?
I don’t go out of my way to look for controversy maybe I am being misunderstood. I am a blogger and a business woman, I have to go out of my way to look for gossip for my readers. I don’t want anybody to fail. I don’t wish anybody evil.
People say you write negative stories about your friends?

How did you feel when Kemi said you took money from Dasuki? I have never denied it. The reason I never said anything about it was because it was overwhelming. Someone called me and said I should calm down. The person said people have not come to terms with the fact that I bought such a property. Before the whole stuff started, I have never heard of the man’s name. The only money I collected from any APC or PDP was for advert. I know I am not guilty of anything. If not, EFCC would have come for me by now.
When people say such things, I understand where they are coming from. Those who are not into online business will not know how it works. It is only those into online business that know I can buy two of that house.
What will happen to your house when you get married?
My parents would live there. I live with all my family now – my parents and my sisters.
Can you tell us how you felt the day you bought your house?
I was extremely happy. I couldn’t believe it. From Mushin to Surulere to Banana Island. I think you have only one life to live. My dream was a luxurious house and I said if I could afford it, I would get it. It was such an amazing day for me.
