I keep saying you guys changed my life and I can't
thank you enough. The individuals and companies
who come here to pay huge sums of money to
advertise don't do it because they like me, they do
it because they know you all are here. They see the
millions of clicks a day and the ranking on Alexa
and they pay to use my platform to reach you guys.
I owe you guys so much, for the love, support and
having my back through the good, the bad and the
ugly. Especially the ugly...lol.
Even the 'haters/unbelievers' contribute to the
success of this blog...lol. When they start with their
propaganda stories, they spread the gospel of LIB
and more people come here to check things out for
themselves and when they come here, they get
hooked....lol. I'm grateful to them. Please continue...
I started the N1million giveaway in 2013 because
the most amazing things in my life started that year
and I believe in giving back!
In 2013, I built a big house for my parents in our

village in Nkwerre, Imo state. I also provided
borehole/water for people in my father's community
who haven't had water in years. My father was
eventually made a chief, a street was named after
him and recently an inter-house Sport was named
after him. All these was to show their appreciation
for what I and my dad did for them.
My dad, who is 72, looked at me one day and said
'If I die today, I will die a happy man. Thank You!' It
brought tears to my eyes, and for the first time in
my life, I felt I'd really accomplished something. To
see that joy and pride in a parent's eye...there's
nothing like it! If you have never experienced it, I
pray you do soon. I'm really grateful to have
experienced it. If not for you guys, I never would
have been able to. Your love for this blog and
consistency has kept me in business. I am so
grateful!
2014 was even a better year. I was able to realize a
lot of my dreams. I even bought my dream ride...lol.
They tried to shut me down...but God showed them
He was bigger. And that experience brought me
more readers and fans...and took LIB to a higher
level.

But 2015 has so far been the most amazing year of
my life! I've touched more lives this year than I'd
ever done before. I helped 15 girls start their own
businesses and everyday, a young girl tells me I
inspire her. That means more to me than any
material thing. Just being someone people look up
to is a great feeling. Sharing my story and people
learning from it and saying it's pushed them to want
to better themselves makes me feel really good.
And I did something this year that amazed myself,
my family and everyone else. I bought a house in
Banana Island, Ikoyi...lol. Before I paid for the
house, I remember my banker looking at me like I
was crazy...lol. She was like 'you're not going to
spend all that money on a house?'...I said watch
me...lol. She tried to convince me to buy a house in
Lekki and invest the rest in other properties and
businesses but I was adamant. The house was my
dream home...and I believe in living the life of your
dreams...because one day, all of this will be over.
She even wanted me to get a mortgage to finance
the house but I refused. Till today, I still pinch
myself. I can't believe how my life has changed so
much. Again, all thanks to you guys!
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!
I read somewhere that a politician may have bought
me the house...LMAO! I find that hilarious! Inside me
and politicians, who get money pass? Lol.
Politicians don't even live in Banana Island... they
can't afford to on their salaries and
remunerations...except those who are stealing
government money and even those will not be
stupid enough to do that before EFCC comes for
them.
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...)
I'm opening up a bit more so you guys understand
how this business works. And for upcoming
bloggers, the worst thing you would ever do to your
business is collect money from anyone for anything
other than an ad campaign on your site. It's better
for people to spread something that is false rather
for it to be the truth. If you collect these things, it
will come back to haunt you. That's a guarantee!
I've never done it. Will never do it! I plan to be
around for a long time.
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!
Anyway, just wanted to share a bit more and tell
you guys I am giving away N1million to LIB readers
as a way to appreciate your kindness and support
towards me like I did the last two years. May God
continue to guide and protect you guys! I will do
another post letting you guys know how the money
will be shared.
Happy woman...chilling in my pool...lol.
Kisses guys and massive hug.
