Linda Ikeji, one of Nigeria’s top bloggers may be a self-made woman who sits atop a million Naira business empire but one thing is surely lacking in her life. And that is a man to call her own and start a family with.

Linda, who is the cover model for the current issue of TW Magazine, talks about the challenges of running a successful blog in Nigeria, controversies trailing her, her love life in revealing detail.

When asked about her love life, Linda told the magazine, “I want to be a mom, that’s what I dream about these days”.

At least that is one of her wishes as she celebrated her 36th birthday yesterday. The controversial blogger has had run-ins with many of her fans and haters who think she needs a husband to be complete, as is the case with many Nigerians who believe a woman should get married once she attains a certain age.

But with her accomplishments, she is, in the eyes of many, not yet a complete woman. So as she adds another year to her age, in a candid vidoe message to her fans and distractors, she openly voiced her desire with a video message and in these words:

“I turn a year older today, September 19th; and I can’t tell you guys how grateful I am for the life I have. I may not have everything I want yet… but I have more than I thought was even possible and for that I am thankful.

I am thankful for my family, friends, all LIB readers, and well-wishers.
My prayer as I turn 36 today, is to find an amazing guy soon, settle down, have a bunch of kids and continue to live, impact my world and make a difference. Please say a prayer for me! I mean it!
