In August, foremost blogger, Linda Ikeji, announced the launch of additional media products besides her blog, Linda Ikeji’s blog. These four new products- Linda Ikeji TV, Linda Ikeji Radio, Linda Ikeji Music and LIS operate under the umbrella company, Linda Ikeji Media Limited. At the time, Linda Ikeji kept LIS under wraps but promised she would unveil it at a later date.
