About Linda Ikeji
Ikeji was born and raised in a Catholic family from Nkwerre, Imo State.
She is the second child. Linda began to express her hobby in writing at
the age of 10. Determined to make it in life, she put herself out at
the age of 17. She finished secondary school at the age of 17 and, at
18, enrolled at the University of Lagos,
where she studied English Language. To assist her family and support
herself through school, she had part-time jobs as a waitress, model and
writer. Ikeji graduated from the University in 2004. In 2006, she
started blogging as a hobby. At that time, the internet was not as
pronounced in Nigeria and she had to make her posts at a cybercafe.
In August 2012, Forbes Africa dedicated itself to celebrating African
women that month’s issue. In that issue, Forbes profiled Africa’s 20
Most Prominent Women and the issue featured profiles on two young
Nigerian women: Linda Ikeji, as well as Chibundu Onuzo.
