Acclaimed Africa’s foremost blogger, Linda Ikeji would on Sunday,
October 2, 2016 herald a unique appearance at the inaugural Yudala Zero Gravity, reports ITRealms.
Linda’s appearance, ITRealms gathered is one of the many surprises on queue for attendees
of this inaugural edition, holding at the Landmark Event Centre by 3pm and featuring
a host of superstar artistes and tonnes of side attractions.

Gravity is a multi-city digital entertainment concert powered by pioneer
composite e-commerce outfit, Yudala in partnership with New Concept Media Group
(NCMG), which embodies nationwide concerts as a contemporary music blast is anticipated

Noteworthy is that Linda’s rise to stardom as a blogger-celebrity underscores
a classic grass-to grace tale.
Linda, ITRealms reports was born and raised in a Catholic family from
Nkwerre in Imo State, and began to express her hobby in writing at the age of
10. But determined to make it in life, she put herself out at the age of 17 at
the same time she finished secondary school. At 18, she enrolled at the
University of Lagos, where she studied English Language. To assist her family
and support herself through school, she had part-time jobs as a waitress, model
and writer. Ikeji graduated from the University in 2004.
By 2006, she started blogging as a hobby. At that time, the internet was
not as pronounced in Nigeria and she had to make her posts at a cyber-cafe. And
soon became an active blogger using a blogger sub-domain and later obtained her
custom domain www.lindaikejisblog.com.
From there, she never looked back and her blog began to grow in views
and popularity. In August 2012, Forbes Africa dedicated itself to celebrating
African women in that month's issue. In that issue, Forbes profiled Africa's 20
Most Prominent Women and the issue featured profiles on two young Nigerian
women: Linda Ikeji, as well as Chibundu Onuzo.
In 2014, Linda Ikeji was the biggest Google Search trend in Nigeria
while the name Linda Ikeji was the most searched item by users of Google in
Nigeria.
Yudala Zero Gravity is a three-city
dual entertainment event which will feature a Contemporary Music Blast as well
as a Rock Gospel Concert in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu.
Already, a number of superstar artistes have been confirmed for the
Contemporary Music Blast concerts in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu. The list includes

both genres of music, many of whom will use the platform to launch new tracks.
It is a platform to see and hear it first.
