Linda Ikeji rejects $2m partnership investment

Acclaimed Africa’s biggest blogger, Linda Ikeji,
has turned down the sum of two million dollars

($2m) partnership investment into her recently
launched social networking site, Linda Ikeji
Social (LIS).


According to a reliable source inside the Linda
Ikeji Media brand, Linda, 36, turned down the
deal after owning up to her team that she is
oblivious of the value of $2million in her new
business since it is a new brand.
The investors were said to have proposed to
own a percentage of the new social networking
site for the value of $2million after seeing how
fast the site is catching on.

The investors suggested that she use the
money in massive advertisement for the new
brand and for technical support but Linda
turned it down.
Another source close to Linda Ikeji revealed
that this is not the first time she will turn down
a major investment into her online business, as
few years ago, she also rejected a major seven
digit investment into her blog which has
eventually paid off as she currently enjoys the
enviable position as Africa’s richest blogger.
Within only three weeks of launch, the Linda
Ikeji Social networking site has received over
150,000 sign ups and has continued to grow
steadily.
According to Global Tech Monitoring Site, Alexa,
Linda Ikeji Social is currently listed as one of
the most visited sites in Nigeria; it has become
a favorite among young people because it is
currently the only social media network
platform in Nigeria that rewards its users with
mouth-watering weekly prizes including cash
gifts.
