Business mogul and fashion blogger Laura Ikeji took to Instagram to appreciate her dear sister, Mega Blogger Linda Ikeji. According
to her, Linda gave her family fish and taught them how to fish.
She wrote:
“This is my sister, her name is Linda, Linda is rich , not just money rich, she’s rich in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Linda made sure everybody in the family is rich.
“She didn’t only give us some ridiculous some of amount sometimes, she gave us knowledge, she made sure that when she withdraws our monthly allowances we could stand on our own.
“I haven’t received any money from her in while, it was a choice because if I needed money all I needed to do was ask, but fortunately I learnt well from her and I’m not doing badly at all. She gave me fish and taught me how to fish.
“I took the Knowledge n I’m doing some amazing things with it #INCOMPLETE.
“Linda didn’t have to, she doesn’t owe us anything but she did. The Ikejis ‘re financially strong individually because Linda decided to be Amazing Linda. #mysisterrocks #mondaymotivation #lindaismysister #iamgrateful”
This appreciation from Laura just made me fall more in love with her person, because, it takes humility to do that. Linda didn’t ask her for it, she sat down in her room, counted her blessings and remembered the source that God used to place those blessings in her hands. Laura Ikeji is one bubbly human being that you’d think wouldn’t really care about such things. She is so playful that you’ll wrongly think she won’t even notice, but she just did. Thanking her big sister publicly. That’s commendable. Even at our different places of worship, we are taught to thank God for blessings, to praise him for the ones he has done, even when we still have needs. we are taught to count all our blessings. Laura Ikeji is a sister everyone should have. In my heart, I am sure that this will touch Linda’s heart. Doesn’t mean they do not have their misunderstandings, doesn’t mean they do not have some sibling rivalry however small, doesn’t mean that they never argue or drop a tear, they do. As a family, they provoke each other, they even dislike sometimes but here is a sister who is established in her own line of businesses, telling all her fans and the whole world that …”everything y’all see me do, the success that I have attained, the financial muscle of every member of The Ikeji family, my elder sister Linda is the absolute source; my elder sister is the one that has made us established, that has helped us and taught us how to fish and not just depend on her crumbs”
God bless Laura Ikeji for being that one person that doesn’t hide the fact that she got help along the way. God bless Laura Ikeji for being that humble person that truly acknowledges and doesn’t forget the source of her blessings. If someone is that special channel God used to bless you, please show it, let the world see and honestly, that won’t reduce or make you small.
You know, God blesses us all in this life, he loves us so much that sometimes he sends help to us through other people. Someone takes you to someone, in the course of talking, something happens, your level changes. Do you ever remember that behind the scenes someone that took you there? Do you acknowledge the hose that God used to water your garden? Do you acknowledge the small person that spoke about you to someone that led to your open door or you just remember God alone for blessing you as if he poured the miracle straight from the sky to you? Yes, our God blesses and opens doors for everyone, many times, God sends an angel in human form. Do we after the lifting forget that Angel and begin to try to make it look like we achieved all that success by our own expertise? our own popularity? Our own hard work? our own luck?
Talking about Linda Ikeji being the Kim Kardashian of her family… See ehn? Look around you. You’ll see some very very successful people and observe that every other person around them is struggling to even crawl. There are some very wealthy, very successful people who only want every other person to beg forever and be dependent on the crumbs that drop from their table. I remember someone once posted on Social Media that the reason he prefers Kim Kardashian over Beyonce is because to him, the Kardashian clan is what it is today because of Kim. She is the MEGA SUPER STAR of her family but ensures that everyone is carried along. Kim was the first to become famous, she wrapped her whole family around her. Her younger ones, if you follow their show, you’ll see how even without their parents’ approval, she used to travel with them to introduce them to people and events that can change their lives. She started her sister Kendall Jenner’s career. Travelled with Kendall even against Bruce Jenner’s advice then, took Kendall to her first show and even when the little girl now turned supermodel accused her of ‘doing all that for her own self because height didn’t let her become a model’ Kim never took all that to heart and continued to push them… Today, Kendall is a supermodel walking the runway for top brands.
In some other family, Kim would have just continued to mind her business while others continue to lean on her as ‘the pillar” Yes, the show brought them all that fame and fortune but it all started with Kim Kardashian. That’s what Linda Ikeji has done for her family, God bless her loving heart. You know what? The Kardashians are not too proud to acknowledge that on TV. In some Episodes, you hear them talking about how Kim started it all for their family.
It’s common knowledge Linda Ikeji struggled really hard, worked her butt off, had sleepless nights blogging, got arrested once for inability to pay back a small bank loan, suffered business collapse like any other person, she pushed really hard until God Almighty smiled at her and opened the main door, opened the floodgates of financial abundance and just let them overflow on her like one standing under a powerful waterfall with water pouring and splashing left right and center non-stop. God has blessed Linda Ikeji so so much and you know what’s touching? She never felt or acted like.. ” Because I suffered so much to get here, let them suffer too” She put everyone on her shoulder and made sure the water splashed and drenched every Ikeji parent, sister and brother. She helped everyone, she released her fist and just let the money fall on all. Linda Ikeji is a legend. Her name has already been written on Marble and can never be forgotten. She doesn’t want to be there all alone while others worship and beg for little handouts. She didn’t keep all her money to herself, but spread it like talcum powder to reach everyone.
There’s so much to learn from Linda Ikeji:
She is a very hard worker.
She competes fiercely, healthy competition I mean.
She never gives up!
She likes to see others succeed.
She doesn’t cut the bridge off after crossing to the other side.
She also never forgets her humble beginnings, remembers friends who were there when she started.
She is a giver and we know that givers never lack.
She tries her best to help others where and when she can.
She takes her business seriously and loves family.
