Laura Ikeji @ 32: Many Laurels To Count
By Ayodele Oluwafemi
Laura Ikeji maybe a younger sister to billionaire blogger, Linda Ikeji. She may also be married to a successful former footballer, Christopher Kanu, but Laura unarguably deserves her place in the roll of young and successful Nigerian ladies who through their intellect carved a place of honour.
Laura has shown her ingenuity in the fashion and entertainment sectors, both nationally and internationally. She has pulled success as an entrepreneur, fashion blogger, social media influencer, and writer. Just like her older sister, Linda, she has shown that women can also excel with inherent potential.
She graduated from the prestigious University of Lagos with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
She, however, made her marks outside her field of study. Perhaps her headway came through her bestseller ‘How To Make Money On Instagram: The Brand Influencer Guide’. Her Instagram page has over 2.1million followers and charges brands for advertisements, while her Twitter account has about 13,000 followers.
Adding to her fashion exploits, she also owns a fashion boutique, called Laura Ikeji Gang Store, located in Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria.
The fashionista once owned a fashion, entertainment and lifestyle blog called Hey!, which stopped functioning in 2012.
She is also a brand ambassador to many national and international brands.
She is married to Christopher Ogbonna Kanu, with two kids – a son and a daughter. She gave birth to her daughter, named, Laurel, last month.
As she clocked 32 on Sunday, March 15 Laura Ikeji was apparently satisfied with life posting on her Instagram page that any gift coming her way on her 32nd birthday would be jara.
She said she had already received a special gift. What that gift was, she, however, did not say.
Born on March 15, 1988, to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Ikeji, she hails from Nkwerre LGA, Imo State and lives in the United States.
