"By Africa's number one blogger, they mean my humble self...lol. I will be there on Sunday September 2nd . Can't wait to meet you folks".
Here is a brief lay down about the blogger...
Africa’s foremost blogger Linda Ikeji is set to
make a guest appearance at Yudala Zero
Gravity as one of the many surprises lined up for attendees of this
inaugural edition.
Yudala Zero
Gravity is a multi-city digital entertainment concert powered by pioneer
composite e-commerce outfit, Yudala in partnership with New Concept Media Group
(NCMG). The action kicks off with a Contemporary Music Blast on Sunday October
2nd at the Landmark Event Centre from 3pm featuring a host of
superstar artistes and loads of side attractions.
Linda’s trajectory and rise to the pinnacle of
blogger-celebrity status is a classic grace-to grass tale.
Born and raised in a Catholic family from Nkwerre in
Imo State, Linda began to express her hobby in writing at the age of 10.
Determined to make it in life, she put herself out at the age of 17. She
finished secondary school at the age of 17 and, at 18, enrolled at the
University of Lagos, where she studied English Language. To assist her family
and support herself through school, she had part-time jobs as a waitress, model
and writer. Ikeji graduated from the University in 2004. In 2006, she started
blogging as a hobby. At that time, the internet was not as pronounced in
Nigeria and she had to make her posts at a cyber-cafe.
She soon became an active blogger using a blogger
sub-domain and later obtained her custom domain www.lindaikejisblog.com.
From there, she never looked back and her blog
began to grow in views and popularity. In August 2012, Forbes Africa dedicated
itself to celebrating African women in that month's issue. In that issue,
Forbes profiled Africa's 20 Most Prominent Women and the issue featured profiles
on two young Nigerian women: Linda Ikeji, as well as ChibunduOnuzo.
In 2014, Linda Ikeji was the biggest Google Search
trend in Nigeria while the name Linda Ikeji was the most searched item by users
of Google in Nigeria.
