We are ready for 'I'd Rather Be Self Made' phase 2. Happening March 12th in Lagos

Hello ladies and ladies...hehe...we are finally ready to commence the second phase of my pet project, 'I'd Rather Be Self Made'. Venue for the gathering was what was delaying it but we finally found a place. So we are meeting on Saturday March 12th somewhere in Surulere...I wanted to give one week notice so that the ladies who are interested will prepare, especially those who live outside of Lagos.

Someone told me and I'm hoping that the statistics are wrong, that 50% of ladies between 18 and 28 in Nigeria sleep with men for money. The purpose of Self-Made in 2016 is to reduce that number to about 49.8%. :-). But more than anything else, encourage young ladies not to go down that path.

So, we are not only going to help with financing small scale businesses, we will also mentor young girls. Apart from meeting this Saturday, I'm also planning a monthly Self Made mentorship programme where aspiring female entrepreneurs can meet established ones and rob minds and help each other. We need more women to inspire the next generation. For this one on Saturday...



Bring your proposals with you on Saturday. These are the guidelines for your proposal...
I. Only three pages of the proposal/business plan.
II. Give biodata, provide phone contact, email and state of residence
III. State business idea, explain how it works and list what is needed to start up the business
IV. The money you need shouldn't be more than one million. (We are giving between 100k to N1m max)
V. Be aware that you are going to defend your proposal if you're picked.

I promise ladies, I will do everything I can to establish businesses for as many young ladies as I can...I will not only use my money...I plan to eventually disturb some rich people and get them to buy into this dream and invest in our women.

For venue for Saturday's meeting, call these numbers - 07051229040 - 08091844327 for address and further inquiries.

See you ladies then.

  9. Great move. It is always good to give back. No one is perfect, and you might have said some things during that Hermes bag issue that made some people hate you, but they are at home typing/spreading negativity through their comments online,
    while you are changing lives. Kudos!

  94. Your reason for helping women is not to stop them from sleeping with men. Self made rich women sleep with wealthier men for money. Stop this self righteous nonsense! I will NEVER want my child to profit from gossiping but you have made a lot of money out of that - so leave those who want to sleep with men for money alone. All na hustle! The wealthy prostitiute is equally self made and is able to empower women with the money she earned from prostitiution and nothing wrong with that. Gossiping is not that noble a profession and you know it. So please shut up about this girls sleeping with men business; I'm bored of hearing it. I prefer the prostitute to the gossip- the gossip has no conscience and destroys! The prostitute at least provides a service - privately with a consenting adult. Who gives the gossip the right to talk about people's personal life?
    Now your focus should be about empowering young women who have ideas but lack the means. And stop trying to act too self righteous. you are acting as though the measly 100k or 1 million naira will stop any girl from sleeping with a rich man. This money you are giving away is pocket money for some of these girls you chastise. So you should quit talking crap and focus! You are not a saint, so shut up. That's the only thing you know- I did not sleep with any man for money but yet you spread wicked gossip for money! You think that makes you a role model? Just remember that the only reason people look up to you is because you have made money, without that you are nothing. So sit down and reflect on that. Life should be less about your sordid millions and mansions as that's all you've got. No honour, integrity and no class!
    Bet you won't post this as the truth hurts deeply. I repeat, you have nothing of value to offer except your sordid millions. Enjoy it while it lasts!
    Bella naija wrote a personal post and I bookmarked it because her write up is worth more than millions. Knowledge is power!

    2. Hmm, na wa oo. This is way too much. Even though she has made her millions via gossip at least she still has the giving heart to assist others. As for BellaNaija, how many young women has she helped or assisted? And also you, how many people have to helped or assisted?

    5. First, be bold enough to write your name. Secondly, Linda have tick skin she won't be moved that why she approved your post. Third, try and do something to help others even if you're penniless.

    6. Lol...Anon 10.47, are you a prostitute? This one ur defending them like this...Lindahas decided to help young ladies, if the girls dnt have self worth and keep sleeping with men for money (which i think ur doing), then its no more linda's biz. God in heaven has seen her efforts for a good cause and will reward her for it. She didn't sound self righteous, ur blinding bitterness made you see only that out of her beautiful post.

      Measly 100k to 1 million? How many people have you helped since you came into this world talk more of giving them that amount? You dnt need to have millions to help Ur neighbour. Have you ever given up to 500 naira to a beggar??

      She has nothing of value apart from her millions? You must be blind. She has a good reputation as a philanthropist. She's recognized as one in Nigeria and very soon internationally #mark my words#. You will watch with bitterness and hate eating out your heart while her name is mentioned with awe every where around you. Watch out.

    7. The hate is real . Who asked you if you slept with married men or your conscious is disturbing you . Lol bless be Linda who made money with gossip .your own gossip clued to your heart and body ...you prostitute

    9. Ur comment is crazy. Anyways, its a good thing u didn't put down ur identity. Frustration smells around you. But if I were u, I would rather give up on prostitution and enroll for Linda's program.

      Delete
  95. Linda Bia oh try n do it state by state. So only those in Lagos and those who can go to Lagos would benefit. Those that can't come and don't stay in Lagos should not be among? Madam billion dollars! Please help girl's all around Nigeria so that majority can benefit if not all. *shines teeth*
