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

«Oldest ‹Older 3201 – 3332 of 3332wow people are so rich in Nigeria, well congrats but pls tell Linda that she can give me 2 million to complete my church building in Jos pls pls pls.
I like this....some guys need to understand that not all prosperous ladies are made from what they get from men and YES good and clean hustling pays well too. Way to go love....Bigger and better You I pray
You could have gotten a 2013 in the US delivered for about N15 Million. Then you would have been able to do "charity" work with the remainder!
This is really inspiring...congrats
Now this is where the DORO gotta roll. DoroLinda, DoroIkeji. Banky's new song bout LIB is really working.

Linda babe m, AcharaUgo nwanyi! Congrats 2 U!!! u're just living ur dream and showing most other Nigerian youths and people of all ages that if u just believe in urself and make the right moves, the world will be on ur knees for what one can achieve in life.
Honestly, I've lived in the US for 10yrs and i've not achieved half of what u've achieved now, and I'm getting discouraged in life and even considering suicide. But seeing what u've achieved in life with ur blog, I'm beginning to reassess my life in a more positive light.
To put it simply, U've just FIRED ME UP.
Thank God 4 people like u.

Linda, for you to seek your father's permission at your age to do things shows you were raised well. ( Nna gi ji nwa)
For you to live in that neighborhood up till now shows you are so humble.
I have come to observe you are not flashy nor extravagant and I know without a show of doubt that there are ways you affect the lives of the orphans, aged, needy and down trodden.
To say that, I am not flawed by your humility and message would be an understatement. Keep the flag flying.
Congrats on your new ride you deserve it and Happy Birthday in advance.
I'm an ardent reader but never comment.. This' my 1st. I'm happy for your success and more importantly, the way you deliver your stories. Big ups girl!

I was expecting a post like this...onye ara! you no hear say she go soon buy house?
Sweetie that statement about skin lightening is so dumb. She is perfect just the way she is and anyone who doesn't appreciate it can as well hug a transformer. I would suggest that you take your own advice
You will always be on my best ladies list. Happy birthday girl. You must be car freaky. Lol.... big congrats
Why do some people just comment like they don't have sense eh kwa. Please read the post again. The fact that she has not come out to give a list of her investments doesn't mean that she doesn't have them. It's her money and she do as she pleases. When you get yours please do as you like as well.
September borns always make a remarkable difference wherever they find themselves. That's us......Congratulations birthday mate.....All the bestest!
For that amount the car fit fly?
Linda words cant express how stupid u r! Even if u bought a car for 24m, who gives a fuck?? Pls get a man! get a child! and stop bragging about shit....worthless bitch!
must confess that I am rili awed.l am really touched and amazed at your success stories, Linda.your story made mi think twice n I told myself,if Linda can make mi,why can't I make it.I just took dis decision that I am gonna study harder to make it big as a petroleum geologist.Linda you are my mentor and role model.wish oda young gals would learn from your success story and not just depend on opening their legs for them to be successful.love u Linda n big congrats to u
Am so thrilled,and happy for your new promotion, Linda! God will continue to bless you, as u've been a great inspiration and blessing to many.
