HOW TO MARRY LINDA IKEJI

She is famous, pretty and rakes in millions. Her mansion in a choice area makes you go green with envy. It can make your feet stumble and saliva dry up whenever you want to talk to her.

Here are 10 steps to make her want you:

STEP 1:

 No matter how rich, famous or hard a woman looks, her anatomy is female. If you are lucky to come across her at any event, make her realise you are interested in her. Lock eyes with her and release a smile from wherever you are seated/standing. Say ‘hi’ once and don’t walk up to her again.

STEP 2

Linda Ikeji says she is celibate. So, don’t be the guy who touches at every opportunity.  Carefully avoid any form of physical contact with her. That way, she sees you as a great guy. Then, take a step further and start showing interest in what she does—how she manages her time (blogging is taxing! Show interest in when and what she eats) how she keeps fit despite the stress of staying glued to the laptop/phone all day and what her hobbies are. Women love men who show interest in what they do.

STEP 3:

Successful women also love guys who play hard-to-get. Try it. Don’t overwhelm her with your love or romantic gestures! Let her know you like her, wants to date her but you have your own space. Don’t inundate Linda with calls! She is too busy. Know her leisure time (Laura Ikeji can help with that).  Send a text message (just checking on you, how are you faring? ..bla bla)

STEP 4

Please don’t ‘form.’  I mean, be yourself. Linda is a multi-millionaire, so why should any man start boasting about his ‘assets,’ when she had already acquired those things 24 months ago? If you are chanced to be at her Banana Island home, admire, pay compliments but don’t start showing off what you also have at home.

STEP 5

Let her know you want her for who she is—pretty, sexy, enterprising, strong, a good fighter and one who doesn’t hop in any man’s bed. Let her know you respect her, her intellect and business sense. But never ask for ‘financial help’.  Even if you are poor, never ask her for money.

STEP 6

This is a very sensitive approach and you have to be careful—Linda is smart! Don’t ask her to start telling you about the men she had dated or who dumped her. Even when she does without the asking, don’t turn it to a research project! You also have your past. You should be interested in winning her heart and making her forget whatever hurt her.

STEP 7

Get close to her siblings. They know her more and when they realise you are a great guy, they will help put in a word for you… ‘Sis, don’t you think you should give Mr.XX a chance?’ they will tell her during family time.

STEP 8

Be patient: Only patient men can end up walking a very rich woman down the aisle. Don’t be troubled by the men calling her for business transactions, or who pay a visit to her office. Part of being a committed partner (which Linda craves for) is letting sleeping dogs lie. Never mix her business with your pleasure. Bloggers are addicted to their phones/other devices and you must not see those as rivals.

STEP 9

Be a shoulder to cry on. It’s a mean world and anyone would do or say anything to hurt her—out of jealousy or based on actions she took on her principles—but you have to give her a soft-landing. Assure her it’s a phase, it will pass away. “Don’t upset yourself over xxxx issues(s)’ you must keep telling her.

STEP 10

Start sharing thoughts on how you want your future home/family to look like. Borrow a cue from Mercy Johnson’s husband, Odi. Mercy recalled how he succeeded in walking her down the aisle:

“During a conversation he suggested that we took our relationship to the next level. While we dated, I knew we would get married because he became a part of my life and we were very passionate about each other. One day, we were at a wedding, Odi said, ‘I think our wedding cake should have a tint of this colour.’ He must have forgotten but it stuck and I am glad that he hinted.”
