Popular Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, has revealed that rats made her buy herself a house in Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos.

When asked at what time she realised she was rich, Linda said it was when the rats in her rented apartment with parents in Surulere, Lagos forced her to have a rethink of her financial state.
“After they chased me out of my sitting room one day, I said to myself, ‘I’m too rich to be sharing space with rats, goddammit!’. Two months later, I was living in a fresh, brand new home in Banana Island, Ikoyi,” she said.
She also interacted with students at the University of Ghana and Wisconsin International University College on a special university tour.
At the summit, Ikeji launched her LI TV application, which is a subscription-based platform developed to promote made in Africa movies.
