In 2013, I told y’all that I’m going to start something called ‘I’d Rather Be Self-made’… where I will personally mentor young girls with dreams and aspirations and help some of them start up small scale businesses. I’ve been procrastinating for over a year & a half and now I am finally ready to do this.

‘I’d Rather Be Self-made’ is not a foundation, or an organization (I can’t handle that – blogging takes too much of my time), it’s just me and some young ladies meeting whenever we can, inspire each other, exchange business ideas, and if I feel someone has a great business idea and it’s not going to cost too much to start the business, I will personally finance it. Not as a loan, it’s 100% to the person. I’m looking at N250k to N1million per person, depending on how great the business idea is. If you need less, you will get the money faster…:-). I’ll also use LIB to promote your businesses. All I want in return is for you to work hard, make a success of your business and pass it forward…i.e help others. And if you ever see me on the street after you make it, you can say hello or give me a hug…:-)

What prompted me to think of doing this is my own story and the lifestyle of some young girls. It’s quite unfortunate and sad. I went to University of Lagos, I was once a model and a model manager, so I have seen some things girls do for money and it breaks my heart. Some, if I told you, you will never believe. And now that I can afford to help a few girls, I am willing to help with my own money. The aim of ‘I’d Rather Be Self-made’ is to reduce ‘Aristorism’ by at least 1%…:-). Please continue…


So I’m putting aside N10million for this – to start with for the first 6 months. And bring out more money if everything goes well.

If you’re between 18 and 26, female (sorry guys – want to concentrate on the women for now), you are looking for inspiration, you want to start a business and need financing or already have a business but need more money to take it to the next level, or you just need business
advice, then come and let’s do this.

Obviously, I can’t help everyone. It’s not possible. But I will help as many young women as I can – this is something I plan to do for as long as I can – so hopefully, many of you will benefit.

I’m interested in girls who have vowed not to sell their bodies to make it in life (because you really don’t. All that ‘I don’t have a choice’ is BS. Trust me, I’ve tasted poverty like some of you will never know and I never did). I’m also interested in girls who are living that lifestyle right now but would rather not, and want out desperately.

You’re going to personally meet with me and other inspiring Nigerian women who made it on their own without ever having to lie on their backs. Trust me, there are many of us. You can be one too, so let’s do this. Continue Reading http://notjustafrica.com/linda-ikejis-id-rather-be-self-made-n10million-grant-begins/
