Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji shares grass to grace story

Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, who played guest at the latest episode of Forbes Woman Africa’s Against All Odds, opened up about her grass-to-grace story during an interview with host Peace Hyde.

The media guru who has become one of Africa’s successful recently launched an app-based subscription channel, said:

“I started modelling at age 17, not as a passion but as a way to make ends meet. I did a lot of part-time jobs while in school – one even included me selling beer at hotels. I would leave school at 1pm and start selling from 2pm to 10pm, and in turn get paid N1500 [US$4.15] a day,”

When asked if she ever thought of becoming famous, she said:

“I never expected it. As a matter of fact, I started blogging in November 2006 as an extension of my writing hobby and because I was inspired by BellaNaija’s blog, which started in June 2006.”

She added: “I was going through my stats recently and it dawned on me that all this has been a gradual process. From 10 views in 2008 to a thousand, years later, then a million and so on. It didn’t just happen, I had to stick to it.”

Speaking on some of her challenges, Linda Ikeji said:

“I’ve been involved in a couple of controversies with celebrities and politicians. I remember in 2012 when I was involved in one and the guy promised to bring down my blog.

“Then one day I woke up to find my blog deleted and this guy gloating on social media that he was behind it. But one thing about me is I may get knocked down but I never stay down. I got it up and running again in two days.”
