When Linda Ikeji bought her Range Rover last year, the hate and envy was so much that an old friend of hers' took it upon himself to shot her blog down. She overcame that challenge, and her brand grew bigger...so big that she was able to afford a house in Banana island for half a billion Niara this year. Now, the hate is back on another level. People don't believe she can be making that much money from blogging, and some believe she is dining with dirty politicians, or doing some shady business behind the scene.



This afternoon, she dedicated a post on her blog to address the haters. Below is a portion of that post.


"I know buying a house for that amount in such a place confused a lot of people. Many didn't believe I could afford it...and to be honest, I don't blame them. If I were them, I'd have my doubts too. If you don't understand how this internet business works, you would never get how a blogger can afford it. But let's put it this way...Perez Hilton, who is the biggest blogger in the US is worth over $30million (Google it). He started blogging in 2005, just a year before I started blogging in 2006... and I am supposed to be the biggest blogger in Africa. Would it not be a shame if I'm not worth even $5million? Lol...especially when 90% of the companies in Nigeria who advertise online, advertise on LIB!

There's so much money to be made in media.Hundreds of brands, individuals, multinationals plug into your platform. If not for LIRS (hehe), I would have thought many of you interested in online business how you can make money. But I'd be exposing myself. Lol. (But maybe one day I'll do a one-day seminar and teach you guys the tricks...*wink*).

You remember when Oprah was still running her show? When Forbes released list of highest earning individuals, she would always top the list with like $300million earnings in one year, while actors and actresses would make less than $50m in year? That's media! Me that I'm aiming to be the first black billionaire blogger from Africa! Hehe. (some people think I already am sef...)

And about all the negativity being spread online...please my darlings, ignore! When you are on top, there's so much envy. People try so much to bring you down. Your success causes them so much headache and they look for ways to discredit you, to bring you down to their level. Remember what they tried to do to me last year? I over came that and will continue to over come. They will keep coming at me with what they have...this will never stop as along as I keep staying on top...and it's okay because I plan to keep shining...lol. If they are this mad that I bought a house in Banana Island, what would they do when I eventually buy a private jet? Lol.

For every successful person out there...or just succeeding at something...these people will always exist! Your success will pain them so much, they will want your downfall. Just keep your head up and keep doing you and keep shining! To keep succeeding is your best revenge! God is your strength! "
