So he and I went to a car company in Victoria Island yesterday and bought this brand new 2014 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. I bought it for N24million. Yeah, I know! Its a lot of money to spend on a car but I've been wanting this car since it came out...so...lol. But I swear I've been feeling so guilty since I bought it. I keep telling myself 'do you know how many lives you would have changed with N24million?" A lot, I know...but my life is important too na, abi? Lol.
Anyway, to make myself feel better, the September LIB giveaway will be bigger than ever...and I'm more determined now to start my #I'dratherbeselfmade campaign where I will mentor and help some young girls start their own businesses. Anyway continue to see more photos...
And yep, I still have my other cars...my 2008 Toyota Camry and 2011 Infinity FX 35. #Biggirlthingz. lol.
Now there's something I want to say to all the young girls reading this. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a man buying you things, but always remember that if you believe in yourselves and your dreams, you work hard and stay focused, there's absolutely nothing you can't buy for yourself. I'm not only buying myself cars that I want, I'm in the process of buying my own house, with my own money.
I made it on my own, in my own way and on my own terms. If anybody ever tells you that the only way you can make it in life is by lying on your back, the person lied to you. You don't have to do that. You shouldn't do that. You are strong, you are brave, you have been blessed with a talent, find yourself, believe in yourself, push yourself...and never give up. No money is sweeter than your own money, trust me. You can do it. Yes, you! You can do it. Just be patient, pay attention and work your butt off.
It's not easy trust me...if you think I had success overnight, you thought wrong. November this year will make it eight years that I've been blogging. Every single day! Before then I was a model, I was a model manager, I was an events planner, I was a columnist, I wrote a book, then I became a blogger. I put my hands in so many things because I was determined to make it in life. Finally one paid off - blogging.
I'm not better than you, if I can make it, so can you! Just never think the only option you have is men. YOU are an option and once you go to God and tell Him what you want to do and He sees that you are serious, He will lead you, He will guide you and He will make all your dreams come true.
Think about it, the people who are successful in life don't have two heads. Why can't you be one of them? You really can be. It's up to you.
Finally, I will soon start my 'I Will Rather Be Self Made' campaign where I will mentor young girls and also help some of you start your own small scale businesses by financing it...so look out for that. I will make an announcement on this soon.
Alright guys, going to bed. Cheers and thanks for everything. YOU guys changed my life. Thank you

Congrats!!! but is this really necessary, you have just expose yourself to more friend, more enemies, everyone will tell u congrats but i bet the heart of an average black man is wicked, if you want to show yourself in Nigeria u must be very close to God or u have one very strong spiritualist..I am talking from experience,if u let evil people mean u,by exposing wealth dey can finish u.. I was once very rich, but today, I am just managing to live, low life pays in Nigeria, remember you are just a blogger. your dad didn't want you to buy it cos i believe he sees tins from d same view i see tins. invest wisely notin last forever. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE

This is like the third time I ll be commenting on this blog but I must say I am an ardent reader, I refresh this blog many times everyday like my life depends on it....This post got me moved to tears about what I want to do but dont have the courage to.. I want to start my own business. I am 24 years old, got a job last year, no increment nothing, my direct boss started harassing me sexually, I am highly determined not to give in, however I get sexual advances almost evrywhere I go looking for job cos of my physical appearance, this has really pushed me into thinking of running my own business, starting from the scratch however there are few major things stopping me but LInda thank you so much for this write up, it has boost up my confidence, I just pray I have the necessary resources and confidence to move on and start something meaningful for the very first time in my life. you have no idea what this post has done to me already....I ma talking from the surface cos I have a lot am going through right now..... Thank you so much Linda...I just hope this lead me to the path I have always dreamt of...May God continue to bless you. congrats on your new toy.

wow, congrats dear. I tap into ur blessing. this is a gud one.
Nice one Lindiway ......Your story is an inspiration to everyone out there who has worked his/her ass off in this country. Its a proof that despite the hardship and the issues, Nigeria is a country where one can become successful if he or she just keeps doing the hardwork without cutting corners or looking for the easiest way out and remains focused on the grand price.
One day, me sef go pose like you even though in my own case, my four years of hard work has enriched my asset base in terms of what I own and not money in the bank. We're working towards financial freedom!
am inspired. Thanks Linda
