Nigerian blogger and entrepreneur, Linda Ikeji is now an inspiration to millions of young girls: not just in her native land but all over the world. Her success story is a motivation to her admirers, but many of her fans are not aware of the hardships, which Linda underwent during her struggling phase.
From being born in a family with poor financial conditions and nearly getting sexually assaulted by a rich man to getting abandoned by her boyfriend during her pregnancy, Linda faced all the traumas unimaginable.

Relationship With Baby Father Turns Sour During Pregnancy
Linda Ikeji might be looking to get married in a romantic ceremony shortly, but her previous relationship wasn’t a bundle of joy though it turned out a blessing for her as she got to be a mother from the failed romance. Linda dated a man named Sholaye Jeremi, a businessman in Nigeria. The pair first met in 2015 at a local diner named Wheatbaker Restaurant and soon began dating.
Although Linda and her then-boyfriend, Sholaye often talked of marriage and starting a family, the relationship between the two soon turned sour as Linda’s fame overshadowed their romance. The couple tried fixing their broken affair in 2016, but the attempt remained worthless. In 2017, as both Linda and Sholaye were single, they tried a new approach to fix their relationship.
They started dating again and even talked about having a future together.

The once madly in love couple became estranged, and Linda eventually boycotted her former boyfriend out of her life.

Biographies of 10 Billionaire You Must Read

Here is our list of top business biographies and best selling autobiographies from billionaire entrepreneurs! 
Who wants to be a billionaire? We may not all get there but we sure can dream. More importantly we can learn from some of the great minds who have achieved such great success. Below we have compiled 10 books written about, and a few by, some of the most notable business men and women of our time. You can’t go wrong picking a book from this list. Leave a comment with any we may have missed.

1. Losing My Virginity: How I Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way

“Oh, screw it, let’s do it.”
That’s the philosophy that has allowed Richard Branson, in slightly more than twenty-five years, to spawn so many successful ventures. From the airline business (Virgin Atlantic Airways), to music (Virgin Records and V2), to cola (Virgin Cola), to retail (Virgin Megastores), and nearly a hundred others, ranging from financial services to bridal wear, Branson has a track record second to none.
Losing My Virginity is the unusual, frequently outrageous autobiography of one of the great business geniuses of our time. When Richard Branson started his first business, he and his friends decided that “since we’re complete virgins at business, let’s call it just that: Virgin.” Since then, Branson has written his own “rules” for success, creating a group of companies with a global presence, but no central headquarters, no management hierarchy, and minimal bureaucracy.
Many of Richard Branson’s companies—airlines, retailing, and cola are good examples—were started in the face of entrenched competition. The experts said, “Don’t do it.” But Branson found golden opportunities in markets in which customers have been ripped off or underserved, where confusion reigns, and the competition is complacent.
And in this stressed-out, overworked age, Richard Branson gives us a new model: a dynamic, hardworking, successful entrepreneur who lives life to the fullest. Family, friends, fun, and adventure are equally important as business in Branson’s life. Losing My Virginity is a portrait of a productive, sane, balanced life, filled with rich and colorful stories.

2. Steve Jobs

Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

3. Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose

You want to learn about the path I took that eventually led me to Zappos, and the lessons I learned along the way.
You want to learn from all the mistakes we made at Zappos over the years so that your business can avoid making some of the same ones.
You want to figure out the right balance of profits, passion, and purpose in business and in life.

4. The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergraduates and best friends–outsiders at a school filled with polished prep-school grads and long-time legacies. They shared both academic brilliance in math and a geeky awkwardness with women.
Eduardo figured their ticket to social acceptance–and sexual success–was getting invited to join one of the university’s Final Clubs, a constellation of elite societies that had groomed generations of the most powerful men in the world and ranked on top of the inflexible hierarchy at Harvard. Mark, with less of an interest in what the campus alpha males thought of him, happened to be a computer genius of the first order.
Which he used to find a more direct route to social stardom: one lonely night, Mark hacked into the university’s computer system, creating a ratable database of all the female students on campus–and subsequently crashing the university’s servers and nearly getting himself kicked out of school. In that moment, in his Harvard dorm room, the framework for Facebook was born.
What followed–a real-life adventure filled with slick venture capitalists, stunning women, and six-foot-five-inch identical-twin Olympic rowers–makes for one of the most entertaining and compelling books of the year. Before long, Eduardo’s and Mark’s different ideas about Facebook created in their relationship faint cracks, which soon spiraled into out-and-out warfare. The collegiate exuberance that marked their collaboration fell prey to the adult world of lawyers and money. The great irony is that while Facebook succeeded by bringing people together, its very success tore two best friends apart.
You want to build something special.
