Famous
blogger Linda Ikeji has recounted how she struggled to raise money to buy her
first car, as she inspires with her success story.
The
heavily pregnant and engaged blogger took to her Instagram page to share a throwback
photo of herself revealing that six years ago she struggled to buy her first
car.
In
the caption, she opened up on her modelling agency and how her debtors almost
ruined her chances of getting her first car.
She
wrote: “I bought this car in 2007. It cost 700k back then but I made a down
payment of 350k to pay the remaining 3 months later. After 3 months, I’d been
able to pay only 100k of the remaining 350k & the car owner came to my
house one day to seize the car. Lol.
“I
can laugh now but it wasn’t funny back then. I remember my dad followed me to
the man’s house to beg for him to return it to me and give me more time. The
man refused. So I was carless for about 2 months but because I knew how
important having a car was to my business (I was always running around), I knew
it was top priority to raise the balance.
“I
had a modeling agency back then and so I started going to bother all the ad
agencies owing me money. I became a nuisance at their offices…lol. Before I’d
wait for them to call and ask me to come collect my cheque but now, I wanted
the money now now. Some managed to give me, some didn’t but I was finally able
to raise the 250k balance & got my car back.
“Fast
forward to 5 years later. Between 2012 to 2018, I’ve probably bought about 15
cars for family, friends and staff. And none was 700k…lol.
“Seeing
this photo again brought back memories and reminded me of how God works. And
how your life can change from not having enough to having so much, you can
share with others.
“You
life can change for the better in an instant and that instant can last forever.
Just remember to always hold on to God. He’s watching. He’s seeing your
struggles and one day, He’ll hold your hands and never let go.
“God
is holding my hand so much right now that I was able to solely finance
lindaikeji.tv from advertising money made from another platform he blessed me with…lindaikejisblog.
All the crazy equipment we have, studios, office, mansion, content, manpower
etc was solely financed 100% by LIB.
“God
works in ways we sometimes don’t understand! He can make you wait. I waited for
14 years. He hasn’t forgotten you. Be patient. He listens. He’s watching. And
He will eventually come to hold your hands when it’s your turn. And when he
does, your life will never be the same. Just never stop believing in Him. Your
time is near. I declare God’s enormous blessings into your life. Say amen!”
