I want to show off guys...pardon me...:-)

 
So yesterday I went to the US Embassy to get a Visa (My first attempt) and during the interview, the guy asked me what I do for a living. I replied - "I run the biggest entertainment blog in Nigeria.". He said really? And then he Googled it. What he saw on Google when you continue... hehehe!!!


Some of you will see it, some of you won't. :-)
I was hoping for a few months Visa but the guy gave me....well, let's just say he was very impressed. lol.

So enyi Amé, ama ri ra lera. Catch you guys soon..:-)  So happy!!!

Congrats Linda, Naijagists.com has published your success. Read it at http://naijagists.com/popular-naija-blogger-linda-ikeji-secures-us-visa/

Anonymous said...

Sometimes, you behave like a bush girl. Did you assume that your readers were fools?

You obviously played a script that gave you the visa. Don't forget that most of your followers were granted visa before you.

Anyway, congratulations! I don't expect you to publish my comment. Original omo oko. Everything is big to you. You are low class.

Thank you. lol.

Linda Ikeji, Some of us are British, American and Canadian born Nigerians. Some of us have UK, US, Canadian and Nigerian passports. Yes. Welcome to our country. You little bush small. lol.

How is getting a visa to come here NEWS? Maybe to you and some people. How come I'm not excited as you when I get visa to visit Nigeria? I expect to get visa to Nigeria at anytime and to any country on this planet, and so you too should.

WHY are you shocked or surprised when things work out for you? Why? You are a child of God. Things are by nature works out for you. Have more FAITH, please. You deserve ALL good things, please. Have more faith in God and in yourself, please.

Okay, let me not seem like I'm not happy for you, congratulations on your "achievement". Bush girl. lol.

So therefore, it is a big deal for linda and congrats to her.

You don't have the biggest entertainment blog in Nigeria, Bella Naija does. In fact I forgot, she has a website, you have a blog, not in the same league. I guess that's why you weren't on Oprah or CNN. Loooooooool!

Also we all know about google search words that can be bought so stop the nonsense.

You really are a social climber, gosh!

Congrats girl...U need the vacation.

Blackknight! said...

Linda, why is everybody saying 'CONGRATS' to you because you got a VISA?Is it a price or an achievement?Am just asking because no one says anything like that over here.
I think Nigerians really need to weed themselves of this poverty mentality and inferiority complex....Small time they will start saying 'THANK YOU JESUS' because you've got a visa.Damn,it is your right to visit and enjoy your holiday anywhere in the world provided to have access to funds to cater for your needs.No need for all the Congratulations and 'THANK YOU' Jesus - Damn, Nigerians,start thinking rich,be confident and let poverty leave you alone.....
Linda,have fun....You have worked hard,and I respect you for what you have achieved over this few years.
I work at Waldorf Astoria. I'm a security guy there.If you want a tour around,let me know.

Linda I believe that you are in a long distance relationship with a guy here and you have decided to come and see him. you want to marry him here and give birth to your children in America. You sha don't want to marry in that naija abi...you like to over reach sef. But am I right? looool

RC said...

Some of u are just very sad people. "what r u going to America to do???" what kind of insulting question is that? Ever heard of a VACATION ?? Jesus!! Pls stop telling Linda what and what not to do, she just got a chance to experience a different culture,she's not a child. Linda, have fun when u come to visit us jo, take ALL the pictures u want, if I was fortunate enough to run my own bizness I would travel the world and take pictures too! Nigerians and their over sabi judgemental bullshit. And pls stop lecturing us on what a multiple visa is and why it is given,nonsense people.

Congrats? Well Done? Guys, she got a visa not a Pulitzer. Africans please start thinking BIG!! These foreign embassies treat us very poorly but like dumb asses we still beg and plead with them to allow us come to the west to spend our money and fill up their institutions with our brains which we drained from our own countries. Linda, if that dude you feel you impressed were to come on this thread, you'd look like you were fixing to stay for good. Please relax and consider your influence. A few more trips abroad and this your visa story will embarrass you. You weren't this excited when you travelled within Africa. The entire issue was not well addressed. The whole thing with your case worker going online at the US embassy!! Not true.
The average Akata doesn't own a passport. Many have never left their states of origin. Relax!

Anonymous said...

Why evils? A simple "congratulations" would have sufficed. Do you know how difficult it is to get American Visa? Even with "genuine" documents, reasons for the trip etc there's still no guarantee...learn to rejoice with your "neighbours"
