if you know what your name means?
If you say no just to see what they have in mind, then they start listing all the bad things they know about the name ‘Linda’ urging you to ‘Pls’ change it as it could affect your entire life. Most times when they say that I just look at them, smile, reject their statement and move on. See her house & ma pics after d cut.....

It got to a point
when I want to introduce myself, I just say call me ‘Ijeoma’ to avoid all d
drama….Lol, by all means Ijeoma is a wonderful name meaning’ ‘good’ ‘safe
journey’ ‘it’s well with you’, But i also love my name ‘Linda’! there’s
something about the name that ihas fleets of ex really love.
If you google Linda, you will
see lots of meaning from German’s description of ‘snake’ to America,Spain,Portuguese description of ‘beautiful’,‘lovely’'Pretty', to Italian 'Clean' so now which one should we accept? I take d later! whichever any other person chooses doesn't change ma shoe size...Lol &can't change ma destiny.
I have seen so many successful, spirit
filled ‘Lindas’ from pastors, writers, to judges, ministers, dancers,
professors, musicians, top models, actresses, sport champions, ceos,career
women, and now our beautiful naija’s millionaire blogger, one of Africa’s best,
Linda Ikeji who just acquired a multi- million naira mansion in banana island & touching lives of young women and youths in the society.So what are we saying?
I know a lot of people still won't think of
giving their babies Linda, that is our mentality here. But I bet all I got that
the western world see nothing bad in that name and will continue dishing out
the name to their kids till tomorrow, they don’t have time for foolish
superstitions. I have seen names like, hunter, grave,killer, dagger, e.t.c and they do
extremely well in life.

Thank you Linda Ikeji
for putting smiles on the faces of the many ‘Linda's’ especially in naija, where the name is sort of looked at in disdain….now the name Linda
Ikeji is on everyone’s lips when it comes to blogging, latest news and her many
achievements, soon it will be my turn…Lol, I
ain't joking. Now when i mention my name....it's not that bad anymore,
Meanwhile we have
seen some Christian names like favour, praise, grace, peace, dominion and many
others who don’t achieve anything & are sometimes a mess.
Linda ikeji truly
inspires me& am sure many other namesakes as well.
My name is Linda, am an event planner,blogger,Tv host,music artiste wt an album to ma portfolio,a mum& I will continue to love that name LINDA! Yes I will!*Winks
