Popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, is celebrating her 15 years of Blogging today.
Her blog which started like a joke on November 26, 2006, is now one of the most popular site to get your latest gist.
The post is a personal introduction from Linda Ikeji talking about herself and her projects.
Today, Nov. 26, 2021, Linda Ikeji’s Blog (LIB), is 15 years and has published hundreds of thousands of articles.
Over the years, LIB has grown from being a personal blog, to becoming a gossip/entertainment blog, to a news website.
This was made possible by our dedicated readers and for them, we are grateful.
The LIB Founder, Linda Ikeji, said starting this blog is “the best decision of HER life”.
To mark LIB’s 15th anniversary, Linda thanked her blog readers and promised to continue to inform and entertain for as long as the internet exists.
Sharing the good news via her Instagram account, she wrote;
“Exactly 15 years ago today, 26th of November 2006, I created a blog and wrote my first blog post… the best decision of my life!
I started with introducing myself, then subsequent blog posts was me sharing personal stuff which was the order of the day back then but sometime in early 2007, I decided I wanted to stop talking about myself and start talking about other people…lol. And so, it became a gossip/news blog.. which was extremely rare in those days, making The Linda Ikeji Blog one of the pioneers of entertainment news online in Nigeria. A standing ovation please.
Writing about news and gossip brought a lot of traffic to my blog. A few years later, I had an advert rate and brands started paying to get on my platform. It was life changing!
At some point, from 2013 till about 2016, 60% of all advert placed online came to LIB. We balled mehn…lol. And bought a house in Banana…
I’m so grateful for this platform. Grateful to all the readers. To the ones that no longer go there and the millions of you that are still there and keeping us in business, I can’t thank you enough. Because of you, the blog is still thriving.
I’m venturing into other things but for as long as I have breath and the Internet exists, I’ll always be a blogger. I pray I get success in my new ventures but I’ll always be first and foremost a blogger. A proud one!”
