Image result for linda ikeji pictures

1. Action
The only reason why the 10 most successful bloggers in Nigeria are today being referred to as “bloggers” is that they started blogging in the first place. They took action quickly at a time when blogging wasn’t popular and they have now achieved enviable successes. They didn’t balk. They didn’t wait for the “perfect time.” They believed with blogging they could make it really.
2. Passion
This is another quality that all these 10 bloggers have in common. They all figured out topics they are passionate about and started blogging on those topics. This passion kept them going even though nobody gave them attention back then. And this passion helped them churn out content consistently on their chosen topics. Linda Ikeji opted for entertainment, Uche Pedro went for lifestyle, Japheth Omojuwa went the way of politics, and Jide Ogunsanya chose to go for science and technology.Your passion really go a long way to make you stand out in the society.
3. Persistence
Most of this bloggers started up when blogging was not popular to any but there persistent really paid off in that they never give up.I urge you to remain persistent in whatsoever you wanna do.
4. Optimism
Anyone who visited the cybercafé frequently or spent huge costs on internet plans just to update a blog used to be seen as a time waster who has no idea what to do with his or her money. Nobody saw any prospects in blogging in the past, but these successful bloggers did. They had a positive mindset, and this kept them going—even when they were attracting zero traffic and only losing money rather than make it. Today, their optimism has paid off, and we all know their story.
5. Consistency
If you check the archives of the ten most successful bloggers in Nigeria, you’d observe something about them: they have been consistent. They have been publishing posts frequently and at predictable intervals right from their earliest days in blogging. Now, they blog every day. And their audience expects something new from them every day.
6. Business sense
While many Nigerians saw blogging as a hobby or as a mere platform for adding personal rants to the internet, these successful bloggers saw it as serious business—and they approached it as such. Now, they run their blogs just like a typical business. They have registered business names and incorporated companies for their blogs, they have staff writers, photographers and designers, and they have a professional logo. And some of them have a monthly budget for marketing and other operation costs.
7. Uniqueness
If you check the blogs owned by these bloggers, you’d see a unique touch in each, especially in the way they craft their content. Linda Ikeji’s posts are usually brief and witty, and Omojuwa’s posts are usually thought-provoking. Each of them has something unique about their blog posts. And this uniqueness is what sets them apart from the rest.This uniqueness stands there blog out.
8. Professionalism
Another reason why the successes of these ten bloggers should come as no surprise is the touch of professionalism they add to their blogging. Each of the blogs has a professional logo with a unique and professional theme.
9. Trendiness
The top ten most successful Nigerian bloggers all keep abreast of latest trends in technology. Most started with blogger, but when WordPress became more popular, they switched over to it (with the exception of Linda Ikeji and Ogbongeblog). And now that people are doing more with mobile apps, some of these bloggers have developed unique mobile apps for their blogs through which their followers can easily read their latest posts.
10. Dedication
Dedication is another reason why the top ten most successful bloggers in Nigeria are so regarded. They devoted most of their time to their blogs just to ensure that things work out as planned. And even after they have started raking in profits, they have still not relented. At least six to seven of them are full-time bloggers.

60 Percent of Women Won’t Marry a Debtor

  We’ve come a long way since the Mad Men -esque era of the 50s and 60s, when financial security for women came exclusively in the form of a man. At least that’s according to the findings of a new survey from Charlie. We surveyed 533 single (defined as never married) women ages  18 to 40 in to find out how they think about finances when it comes to finding “the one.” According to the results, women are waiting until well into their relationships to have the “money talk.” If they don’t like what they hear, bad news: most women view potential beaus or belles with a large amount of debt as more of a liability, than an anchor. The majority of single women these days don’t believe that marriage is necessarily the ticket to financial stability. But to understand where we’re at now, it’s important to take a look at where we came from. A Brief History of Women’s Financial Rights Back in the “good old days,” our grandmothers had little choice but t...
