Linda Ikeji is a mom-to-be!

The popular Nigerian media personality and Africa’s richest blogger is expecting first child with her fiancé who popped the big question in March. “I Linda Ikeji, is going to be a mum. Somebody please pinch me! Gosh, I can’t get over it,” she wrote on her website. Linda further revealed her love for children and “the first baby I carried was a boy named Makoba (wonder where he is now, this was about 20 years ago, he will be a big boy now).”

Little is known about Linda Ikeji’s husband-to-be, who reportedly used to be her ex-boyfriend before he relocated abroad, but the pair reunited and continued what they started when he finally relocated back to Nigeria few years ago. She continued: “2018 started with me finding out I was pregnant. When I missed my period and my friend and I did a home pregnancy test and it read positive, my friend began to cry with happiness but I was just there staring at the stick like, you’re not messing with me, are you?

“This is real and not a joke on me, right? I refused to believe it and asked my friend to drive me to a lab for another test. And there it was confirmed, I was pregnant. Me, Linda, I am going to have my own child. Please don’t wake me up from this lovely dream..lol.” “So now imagine that in a few months, I will look down at a baby, and it won’t be a neighbor’s child, a friend’s child, a sister’s child, but my own child, my own flesh and blood, carried in my womb. My own son. It’s surreal. I can’t get over it,” she adds. Congrats Linda!
