Tbt. We are often in a hurry to get to where we want to be in life, that we forget what we have endured to get to where we are now. I look back at my journey over the past 3 years and although I am nowhere where I want to be, I am grateful for all I have achieved. I remember when I just moved to Nigeria and was staying with family in ebutu metta, there was a certain man who I had several meetings with to develop a business idea of mine at the time. All was progressing well till he eventually turned the pages and approached me with his desire for me. He changed his rapport and even offered to buy me a flat in banana island so I could be more comfortable and settled.
As tempting as such offers could be, nothing in life is free. Everything has a price and I'm proud to say that price was never my pride. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is no man/woman should determine your destiny. You may be offered all the worldly possessions but all these things expire, the bags go out of season and the cars depreciate in price. I would rather not have the latest designer bag than have a man gossip about my pride 2 years down the line. #justsaying #womenofvirtue #determination #pride #stephrockss

Wise geh! Beta pikin!
THAT IS A DIGNIFIED NIGERIAN LADY. SHE DESERVES TO BE PUT ON A PEDESTAL FOR HER INTEGRITY. IF MORE NIGERIANS SAW LIFE THIS WAY WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS CRISIS OF WEALTH GRABBING CRIMINALS WITH A INSATIABLE DESIRE FOR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS JUST TO IMPRESS AND OPRESS THEIR FELLOW NIGERIANS.
FOR NIGERIA TO BECOME TRULY GREAT, SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE. THE RICH ESPECIALLY MUST BE PREPARED TO TAKE A PAY CUT FOR THE GREATER GOOD. SHE SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
***SAVE NIGERIA, THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH BAD PEOPLE***
And this is news because?
Who is she again?
Instead of saying she does not have money to flaunt something new on instagram, she's here vomiting trash.
Ngwanu let me tell you my own, President Jonathan proposed to me yesterday but i turned him down. How about that?
Attention seeker oshi.
Shout out to all the hardworking women,the real women.You're beautiful.
Na who we go ask?
DS A GUD ONE BABE N AM API WENEVER I HEAR A LADY TEKIN A BOLD STEP IN LYF N NOT ALLOWIN PPLE MESS UR GOLDEN DESTINY N PERSNALITY UP...HOPE U STIL MAINTAIN DS DSCIPLINE...TOMJERRYSWIT
I don't know her but I respect her for this! But then again, it seems she's always been comfortable(It's harder for people who don't,just trying to be fair to those set )

.............*****PRAY4NIGERIA*****...........
Oooo plz Stephanie, its not a bad thing dating a man for material possession,u can't do it dnt mean others shudnt,are u trying to say d guys u have been with without any material thing being attached to it also dnt gossip bout ur PRIDE at ur back? Of course dey do,so whats d need of forming all "i dnt sleep with men for money"? So u rather do it for free than get something outta it? Babes,wise up,do it for free or not d boys will still gossip bout u,ur pride and how dey had u moaning like a hoe...Stephanie i love u,but all u wrote isn't it...a girl gotta do wat a girl gota do *flip weaves,catwalks away*

Well Said but how many Women adhere to this?? IT IS VERY DIFFICULT Linda.. I know of a friend who was a Striper in This our Lagos for years, Now worth over 10 Million from striping.. She's stopped that now, Now running an Empire of her own.. So if sleeping with An Old Man could pave way for you, CARRY GO..

Well played and smart move. All the best in your career...
well said babe
Word from a woman, who know what pride means. Some of us has had similar experiences and by God's grace we over came. Enjoying today what you outh to tomorrow, will only destroy your tomorrow, wait until it comes in a way that pleases God. Shalom
This is same story i want to tell
Linda I would loooove to buy you a flat in the same Island, I know you already holding down in that aspect looking at the houses that you built. This is just from me to you, a way of saying thank you for being a gr8 influence to people. Please don't turn my offer down.
I love your stand girl #self independent
Na ur own u dey talk Ooo...these biatches ain't loyal. Good words though.

Gay Life of an Anonymous Writer
I love this kind of woman #talkingfromexperience
virtuous woman. Even as a man am proud of u jare
Real women are not bought. Thanks Stephanie.
Tales by moonlight! remember? What's she feeling like, righteous and independent babe. What they do in secrets, behind closed doors, u dont want to know. Then they use ebutte metta when it best suits their tales, they dont talk about that hood when they were living there, but when they move to lekki phase 1, ebutte ero becomes relevant to the rags to riches fable. We know u all fronting and faksters. Shio!
Chai this girl must be a deeper life member or sabbath or seventh day Adventist church. girls like dis no dey again o especially for lasgidi way decent gals don turn olosha finish. but jokes apart her parents raised her well i dont no her but i am proud of her. God is proud of her. soon she willl eb elevated. she refuse to trade her body sister the lord bless you
I have always liked her. Such a great presenter on MTV base with Ehiz. Hope you will do same Linda.
Okay
God bless her and all those good ladies who have decided to use their brain and not their pride to get to where they want to be.
I am a 31 year old lady in my 31 years on earth aside my dad's part in taking care of me and that's till turned 21,tiI'll date no man has had any contribution to my welfare and I'm already used to it. Though I am not where I want to be but with more efforts to what I do and focus I will get there.
One thing I detest is a man or men gossiping about my pride....I can't deal o but thank God for me,it's not by my power but God's grace.
"We are often in a hurry to get to where we want to be in life, that we forget what we have endured to get to where we are now",those aRe words, God bless the works and sweat of her hands.
Okay
That is my kind of woman. Ladies stop selling yourselves. STOP!
Smart girl. Same decision I made after my last break up. Now I'm working my way up to the top with my intellect and potentials. Wisest choice evuuuur.

Really? Buy you a flat in Banana Island? Please stop making yourself that important Dearie. Buy ko, Buy ni? Perhaps you
misunderstood him. I'm sure he said rent and not buy. Don't come here and start making yourself not only all that but also an Angel. Sorry to rain on your parade but you ain't all that Even the first class runs girl didn't get a flat in Banana Island. Give me a big break and take your story to CNN and get your Saint Award #keepitreal

God bless this Diva for saying these words... good things don't come easily, Yh it will take time but it eventually come if you put in efforts to get it. Linda you are one of the women in Nigeria I admire. Hard work really pays!
Once you value your self worth as an individual you'll never compromise your dignity.

Pls tell them ooo.Tell all these "Oju ori olari" pikins.The Devil keeps winning all these Longerthroat sluts to his side.May the merciful and Just Lord have mercy on their souls as well as dole out appropriate "rewards" to each and everyone of them.That way,their repentance can go make sense.No destroyer of homes should go scott free.For them lessons should be learnt the hard way.....
Truly, it's not all tht glitters that is gold. Respect to the lady. I hope you meet a man who has a heart of gold.

@Galore
There's loads of women who have pride - lets please remember that!! But also, lets not forget that everyone's life journey is different.
A house in banana island wont fade away rather it will appreciate. She missed oooo
That's the thing about you this Linda... One day you say a, the next say you say b...
The other day when you wrote a story about a woman who returned money she found, you said that there is nothing special about being honest - and honesty should be a given!
In the same vein, I think that posting this is sort of silly - because it should also be a given that a woman shouldn't sell her "body" for worldly possessions - well, except it is her profession.

You know when I read comments here, I truly feel sorry for most of the people here, many talk like people that don't have any values, or even a vision for your future. It amazes me how you all glorify people like
ONYX linda ikeji first son GODWIN. when he has some of the most pathetic comments on here. I have a personal question for most of you, What is really your plan for your life and are you working towards it? Coming on lindas blog to write pathetic comments is not adding anything to your life ooooo. Your life is very precious and valuable so you better start taking it seriously. Seek and follow things that add value to your lives, learn something of value, improve your skills, increase your value to the market, start building your future from now, be the leader you want your children to be. Myles Monroe said read a book for your unborn children, but you guys come here and say crazy things and I wander what you spend your time on or what you focus on, its obvious its on trivial things because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
To be honest most lbers need JESUS. All the best guys always know you have a purpose to fulfill on earth, focus on accomplishing that.
Hahahaha onyx i am in love with you, dont mind the mumu girl who is she fooling but at the end of it all i'd rather be self made my mother always told me the begining of death is when you give a man the power to control ur emotions all because of money and me i must make money before i think of boyfriend or marriage thank God for my small buisness at least i have put some people to shame n by God's grace more blessings will follow
Wow! Great woman
Chai this boy is a confirmed retard.
YOU'RE PRICELESS LIKE A RARE JEWEL
A LADY MONEY CAN'T BUT DESERVES OUR FULL RESPECT.
Can u imagine see dis finished Onyx o pple de tok u still de tok,u beta shut up dia!!u weey ur nyash don de leak scatter,she de rok beta tin u de vomit dried shiiit,u beta rearrange ur sef b4 I finish ur career.
@ PRAYER. Tell them. Don't mind Ms Saint. Spare me the cock and bull story
@ Anon 1.04pm. Look no further as the real fool is no other person but you.i do not like to brag but need to for a big fool like yourself. My man bought me a house not only in Banana but also in United States paid in full, travel first class if alone and with private if travelling with him, top of the line designer in the closet from Rolex to Hermes and I have million dollars in the bank Darling. Now instead of talking about what a man bought for your friend, why don't you talk about yourself. What do you have or have achieved Miss failure?
Abeg carry your holier than thou attitude comot for here joor! who u don help? wey my lighter make I smoke my Benson....am out!
Abeg carry your holier than thou attitude comot for here joor! who u don help? wey my lighter make I smoke my Benson....am out!
Don't mind her. Why was she in a hurry to be #TeamLightSkin
The facts are there. Her pics 4 years ago and now placed side by side..
Happy for you..
urgh..spare us this tori.
Can we all learn the Morales behind her story & stop d altercation already. whether she sleeps with guys who come in d guise of lovers or not, the morale is that gifts gotten in exchange for ur pride never lasts. It's like selling ur soul to d devil for earthly gains, and we all know how it all ends. I think she wasn't trying to paint herself as a saint, rather she meant to encourage pple who r presently faced with dis same challenge.
Ehhhnn.....But you're still dating a man now abi? Just say you didn't like the guy. Or he was not your type. Or maybe he was married and over possessive and you knew you won't be able to keep a relationship with him on ur back and having spare keys to your place. U ppl always like to come on social media and act like you are so prime and proper. We know you aint.
