Linda Ikeji to Launch a social network - CNN

New social network by Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji to pay top users

Story highlights

  • A new Nigerian social network hit 50,000 users 24 hours after launch
  • The platform plans to pay their most popular users
  • Popular blogger Linda Ikeji is behind the new venture
(CNN)Love her or not, she's one of Africa's most famous news and gossip writers. Now she's hoping to take on Facebook with her very own social network, which she says hit 50,000 sign-ups on the first day.
Linda Ikeji, a former model from Lagos, Nigeria, says her social network, LIS (Linda Ikeji Social) has something others lack: a one-stop shop for everything online.
"About 30-40 million Nigerians are now online, and they go through so many sites," Ikeji told CNN.
"They go to Facebook for connecting with friends. They come to my blog to read the news. They buy and sell things and go to places like Nairaland where they exchange opinions."
Just six days in, the network has 86,000 followers. Within the next five years, Ikeji said she hopes to be the new Facebook.
"Facebook is my competition," said the businesswoman, who is famous for her tabloid reporting, which many have criticized for promoting gossip and lacking in credibility.
In 2014 her blog came under scrutiny amidst allegations of plagiarism and unfair usage of images which led to the blogging platform Blogger, run by Google, temporarily taking her website offline.

Paying the popular

Apart from her controversial ways, she differs from Facebook in another major way, however. Her plan is to pay people who gain a lot of followers on the site.
"Once they have 50,000 followers on their page, we will automatically start monetizing it. That means we will put our client's banners on the page and pay you a commission from what they pay us."

The cash incentives are paid out to the so-called 'wallet' -- a section on the network where people add their bank account details.
It remains to be seen if anyone will hit that high. For now, she will pay out a weekly share of her advertising revenue to the most popular accounts, she says.
"Next week we are putting N20,000 ($63) each into 50 people's wallets," Ikeji said.
The network also plans to pay users N8,000 (around $25) for original news content.
The aim of the business is to give back to the online community.
The strategy could mean good money for users, and the social network who gets help with attracting people to sign-up. A win win, she explains.
"Being on social networking sites make the (site) owners billionaires. You being on our site will make us money, but at the same time we will share some of that money with you."

A million dollar business

Ikeji is everywhere in the online sphere, with 1.32 million Twitter followers and 796,000 following her Instagram account.
It all started 10 years ago, when she was modeling, and came across a blog post about herself. "I liked it and I wanted to start my own blog."
Back then, blogs were more personal accounts of people's lives, she said. "I wanted something more interesting. I wanted to do gossip and news, and I gave them something different."
Already a celebrity, it quickly drew a lot of readers.
"It was like a celebrity blog: people knew who I was and were very interested in what I had to say."
It seems to have worked. Today her blog has around 7 million page views per day and is especially popular with Nigerians living abroad in countries such as China, Dubai and the U.S., according to Ikeji.
"It's the number one blog in Nigeria," she says.
However popular and successful she claims to be, Ikeji continues to be controversial. Some say she is getting rich on gossip.
She says the criticism is mainly down to two things: Jealousy and the usual online critique famous people often endure.
"There are people who are jealous, because they don't understand how somebody can be so successful at something so many others are trying to do."
Others simply don't like what she does, but Ikeji seems unfazed.
"They may not agree with the way I do stuff. They will criticize and show their opinion, which is fine with me."

See Photos Worth Millions of dollars , Costliest Photos In The World

SEE THE WORLDS 10 COSTLIEST PHOTOS, PHOTOS WORTH MILLIONS

By Admin.


10. Billy the Kid (1880) – $2.3 million

Photographer: Unkown
kid
One of the most popular and costliest pictures of all time is this iconic photo of a young and famous outlaw who resided in the American West. This is the only known photo of Billy the Kid, who had murdered about 20 men even before he had reached the age of 21. He became notorious during his short but very busy career as a gunslinger and an outlaw.
Many film aficionados may have attached the face of Hollywood actor Emilio Estevez to this legendary outlaw because of the former’s Young Guns films. However, the real outlaw will forever be immortalized by this photo taken by an anonymous photographer in 1880. The price for this photo? $2.3 million.

9. Untitled #153 (1985) – $2.7 million

Photographer: Cindy Sherman
sherman
A photograph that has been renowned by many as a masterpiece, Untitled 153 is a haunting portrait that could be mistaken for an image straight from a crime scene.

8. The Pond/Moonlight (1904) – $2.9 million

Photographer: Edward Steichen
pond
The Pond/Moonlight is a photograph taken by by Edward Steichen in the State of New York in 1904. This well-known and unique photo shows a forest sitting across from a pond, with the moon just barely visible through the trees.
The Pond is so popular by aficionados in the photography world, not just because it is among the first color photographs; it is also among the first color photos that were widely distributed. It is also very prominent for its uniqueness. Only three versions of this photo exist; no wonder why the value of each photo greatly increased. One of the three versions got sold for a whopping $2.9 million back in 2006. At that time, it was the most expensive photo, although other photos have been bought since then with much higher prices. It is still not known how costly the other versions will be, but it is most likely they will be sold at much higher prices (both photos are currently being held in a museum).

7. Los Angeles (1998) – $2.9 million

Photographer: Andreas Gursky
la
This is something that could have come out of a sci-fi film. The image taken by famed photographer Andreas Gursky, showing the grid-like outstanding lightning patters of Los Angeles, was bought for a mind-numbing price of 2.9 million dollars.

6. 99 Cent II, Diptychon (2001) – $3.3 million

Photographer: Andreas Gursky
99cent
Gursky has another of his photos on this list. In fact, two photos from this famous photographer are in the sixth spot. Both photos show a supermarket of various goods being sold, but the photographer heavily modified both works. Both works, which are very expensive, measured almost seven by 11 feet.
The first, which he called 99 Cent II, was the first photo to have been sold for more than three million dollars back in 2007.

5. Untitled (Cowboy)(1989) – $3.4 million

Photographer: Richard Prince
cowboy
An unknown cowboy was photographed in action, as he uses his rope to catch a horse. The photo, complete with an amazing backdrop of a clear bright sky and disheveled clouds, earned famous photographer Richard Prince a cool 3.4 million dollars.

4. Dead Troops Talk (1992) – $3.7 million

Photographer: Jeff Wall
troops
The photograph, named Dead Troops Talk and taken by photographer Jeff Wall back in 1992 is unique and much talked about as it has been staged. Wall had been also known for previous photo setups. For this picture, Wall chose to depict the grisly ambush of a Russian contingent during the 1988 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He set up a number of “dead soldiers” to make them appear as if they are talking, possibly to have statement echoing Wall’s view about the invasion of Afghanistan. Wall’s unique and creative ideas reflected in the photo were among the biggest reasons why this portrait got 3.7 million dollars at an auction.

3. For Her Majesty (1973) – $3.7 million

Photographer: Gilbert & George
majesty
Gilbert & George have made an outstanding photography career taking photos that discuss various topics in the world. They sold their priciest piece when their photo “For Her Majesty” got a staggering price of 3.7 million dollars at Sothesby’s back in June 2008.

2. Untitled #96 (1981) – $3.9 million

Photographer: Cindy Sherman
untitled96
Sherman’s self-portrait, portraying a very young 70s teenager that is looking mysteriously adrift, was purchased for a whopping 3.9 million dollars back in 2011, making it one of the most expensive photos in the world, second only to the number one in this list.

1. Rhein II (1999) – $4.3 million

Photographer: Andreas Gursky

Trumping the record set by photographer Cindy Sherman in 2011, Andreas Gursky cements his stellar status atop this very exclusive group of photographers with his amazing photograph of the Rhine River: the fourth photo he has taken on this list, purchased for 4.3 million dollars in 2011.
Rhein II is now considered the priciest photograph of all time. There were some issues regarding the photo, which measures 73 by 143 inches, because it was heavily modified. In the original photo, there were some people and a building, which Gursky decided to digitally remove so that his photo will have a more natural view of the river.

Worlds Most Expensive Bikes,These Are Not Ordinary Bikes

HERE ARE THE 10 WORLDS MOST EXPENSIVE BIKE

 by Admin.

 #10 NCR Leggera 1200: $72,000

leggera
Lightweight is something that most people can’t stamp on huge motorcycles, but the word seems to find its place with the NCR Leggera 1200. The bike’s frame is fashioned from handcrafted titanium and the brakes are made of carbon fiber. This enabled the Leggera 1200 to weight 47 kilos lighter than most stock bikes. Lightweight? Yes. Sturdy? Even more so. Powerful? You bet.

#9 Vyrus 987 C3 4V V: $91,700

vyrus
Most people are not familiar with the name Vyrus and that is a good thing. Only a few are aware that Vyrus boasts several of the world’s most powerful motorcycles in production and the Vyrus 987 C3 4V V is one of them. Aesthetically, this baby looks like a motorcycle from the way ahead future but its steering and handling are superb. Powered by a Ducati-sourced 1198cc V-twin engine, outrunning this big behemoth from Vyrus seems next to impossible.

#8 MV Agusta F4CC: $120,000

agusta
This proud Italian super bike boasts being very rare, as there are only 100 of these road monsters built. Beneath the shell is the roaring F4CC’s 4-cylinder engine, which can generate 200 horsepower with relative ease. That translates to a top speed of 195 miles an hour. Whether it’s worth the huge price or not, you decide.

#7 MTT Turbine Streetfighter: $175,000


Installed with the beastly Allison turbine engine from Rolls Royce, the MTT Turbine Streetfighter can easily generate 320 horsepower. That translates to 249 miles per hour tops.  Its aerodynamic tubular aluminum frame gives this big bike an added boost while the 17-inch wheels of carbon fiber make it lightweight, which then decreases the adverse effects of drag. And just as you thought it can’t get any better, it can. The MTT Turbine Streetfighter can be upgraded to 420 horsepower. And you know what that means.

#6 NCR M16: $232,500

ncr
It’s hard to imagine that the NCR M16, as beautiful and powerful as it is, is just a modification of something else. But that is the case. This super bike is the berserker version of the already powerful Ducati Desmosedici RR. Flaunting a carbon fibre frame, swingarm and wheels and ceramic matrix composite for brakes. NCR M16 is also a very light super bike. The V4 engine, on the other hand, proves to be a perfect complement to the bike’s overall construction. Giving the bike 200 horsepower, this beast of the road is clearly a one fast super bike.

#5 Ecosse FE Ti XX: $300,000

ecosse
Exotic yet functional, Ecosse’s super bikes are built using the rarest materials yet still adhering to the highest standards. The FE Ti XX is all that and then some. The bike’s frame is made of titanium and flaunts a hydraulic clutch and an exposed carbon belt drive. Its aluminum engine can generate 225 horsepower, giving the bike a serious kick once it starts roaming the road.

#4 Legendary British Vintage Black: $400,000

vintage
Built in Great Britain, this vintage big bike is highly coveted for its history rather than performance. That said, two-cylinder engine gives this bike a big roar. That means this is not an ordinary two-wheeler, even if it’s an oldie.

#3 Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike: $555,000

tomahawk
One look and you know the Dodge Tomahawk V10 is something special. Built with the monstrous 8.3 liter V10 engine of the iconic Dodge Viper, this super bike goes from 0 to 62 miles an hour in 2.6 seconds. With 500 horsepower revving and roaring, the Tomahawl V10 Superbike can go for a top speed of 420 miles an hour.

#2 1954 AJS 500 cc Porcupine: $675,000

porcupine
One of the rarest super bikes built in the 1950s, the 1954 AJS Porcupine’s body is made of aluminum alloy and is powered by a 500 cc, DOHC twin engine. More valued because of its history, the Porcupine sold after an auction at Bonhams in 2011 for a very high price.

#1 Million Dollar Harley Davidson: $1 Million

harley
The only Harley Davidson that carries the $1 million price tag, this particular super bike is the most expensive in the world. But while some would think the bike’s powerful six cylinder engine and frame give the Harley its value, it really stems from its unique styling, care of artist Jack Armstrong. Dubbed “Cosmic Starship”, the bike features Armstrong’s unique art approach, which is called Cosmic Existentialism.

The Most Expensive Cars In The World

The most expensive cars in the world make

The most expensive cars in the world are about so much more than transportation. These rolling art pieces encapsulate the priorities of the one percent, and in that universe, flamboyance and swagger take precedence over practicality and efficiency. Lifestyle criticisms aside, these are truly mind-boggling machines, and we’d like to count down our favorites for you here.
For the sake of clarity, we’re categorizing recently made, road-legal production vehicles only — limited runs notwithstanding — and we’re leaving out classic cars sold at auction. We’re also limiting the list to one entrant per nameplate, so don’t expect 10 different iterations of the same Bugatti Veyron.
So whether your name is Buffet, Gates, Stark, or McDuck, these rides are for you — the most exorbitant people-carriers on the planet. They say money can’t buy happiness, but after viewing this list, you just might beg to differ.

The most expensive cars in the world

$4.8 million – Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

Koenigsegg makes its first appearance on our list with the CCXR Trevita, and it does so as the most expensive street-legal production car in the world. Why so much coin? With no exaggeration, the car is literally coated in diamonds … and diamonds aren’t cheap.
For the Trevita, the Swedish manufacturer developed a new exterior finish called the Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave, which involves coating carbon fibers with a diamond dust-impregnated resin. We can’t even fathom how much the touch-up paint costs.
Underneath the lustrous finish lies a 4.8-liter, dual-supercharged V8 with a total output of 1,004 horsepower and 797 pound-feet of torque, which means it should have little to no trouble overtaking semis on the freeway.  The car’s specifications — in both performance and price — are nearly comical at this point, and just three were ever made.

$4.5 million – Lamborghini Veneno

Poison. That’s the name Lamborghini chose for the modified Aventador you see above — translated from Italian of course — built to celebrate the automaker’s 50th birthday. We can’t speak for the company’s motivations, but the name is fitting for a vehicle that looks so positively deadly, so undeniably venomous.
The car is absolutely stunning from every angle, and to this day, we’re not convinced it isn’t an alien spacecraft surveying our planet for eventual takeover. It just doesn’t seem real. The only thing more remarkable than the look is the price — a whopping $4.5 million.
The Veneno is fast, and that should come as no surprise. Its 6.5-liter V12 spins all the way up to 8,400 rpm to deliver 740hp and 507 lb-ft, surging the car to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

$3.4 million – W Motors Lykan Hypersport

You may recall the Lykan Hypersport from its starring role in the blockbuster Furious 7, where the Lebanese supercar crashed through not one, not two, but three skyscrapers in Dubai. In a franchise filled with high-end exotics and one-off custom creations, the fact that the Hypersport got so much focus is a testament to its magnetism.
Let’s start with the styling, which includes jewel-encrusted headlights, scissor doors, and an interior ripped straight from science fiction. It looks like a pissed off armored car from the future, and its performance is right on par with its image. The Hypersport boasts a 3.7-liter, twin-turbo flat-six that yields 770hp and 708 lb-ft.
It’s not just Dominic Toretto who benefits from this level of performance, though, as the Abu Dhabi police force has drafted the Hypersport into patrol duty. Although it’s mainly used for marketing and public relations purposes, the high-flying stunner assures that the authorities can keep up with any baddie who tries to get cute on the freeway. Pedal to the floor, 0 to 62 mph is accomplished in just 2.8 seconds, and top speed is a downright scary 240 mph.

$3.4 million – Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron by Mansory Vivere

This list wouldn’t be complete without some version of the mighty Bugatti Veyron. We’re shining our spotlight on the the Mansory Vivere edition here, because not only is it one of the fastest cars in the world, it’s one of the most expensive.
Augmented by German witch doctors Mansory, the 1,200hp Veyron starts out as a Grand Sport Vitesse Roadster, only to be adorned with a gorgeous carbon-fiber body, a new spoiler package,    upgraded LED lights, a revamped cabin, and a redesigned front grill. Further classifying the Veyron as a work of art, maps of historic race events like the Targa Florio are laser etched into the exterior and interior. Oh, and it can do 254 mph.

$3 million – Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio

With an asking price of $3 million, the Ferrari Sergio isn’t the most expensive car on our list. It is, however, one of the most highly-coveted vehicles in the world, as only six were ever made.
Crafted by legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, the Sergio is essentially a Ferrari 458 Spider with a completely new body and interior. That means a 4.5-liter V8 sends a whopping 562hp to the rear wheels, but because the Sergio is lighter than the 458, it’s quicker and handles better. The new body doesn’t just save weight — it’s chock-full of interesting details like aerodynamic headrests that are built directly into the roll cage.
With so few examples built, the Sergio’s purchase process wasn’t as simple as strolling up to a Ferrari dealership. No, each owner was chosen by automaker itself, making it one of the rare invite-only vehicles in automotive history.

$2.6 million – Pagani Huayra BC

With an AMG-sourced V12 and the fastest road-legal Top Gear lap ever, the Pagani Huayra is a beast through and through — it’s named after the Incan God of Winds, after all. That wasn’t quite enough for Pagani, however. At the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Pagani debuted the Huayra BC, a lighter, hotter version that takes no prisoners.
Right off the bat, you can tell the BC is playing a different game from the standard Huayra. It’s fitted with an enormous active rear spoiler that generates 1,102 pounds of downforce at 155 mph, as well as a wider rear track, new side skirts, and a bevy of sexy aero goodies. Despite the additions, the BC is a true featherweight, tipping the scales at a paltry 2,654 pounds thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials. The whole deal will cost you a cool $2.6 million (or it would have, if all 20 units hadn’t sold already), but you clearly get a lot for your money. With 789 turbocharged ponies on tap, the BC may actually live up to its godly name.

$2.5 million – Ferrari F60 America

To celebrate Ferrari’s 60-year tenure in North America, the Italian brand built 10 examples of this stunning bombshell. Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the F60 is undeniably patriotic as it wears a Stars and Stripes color scheme, American flag seat inserts, and classic racing livery all around. Better yet, you can experience the glory with the top down, as the F60 features a lightweight fabric top that can be operated at speeds up to 75 mph.
The supercar is mechanically identical to the F12, but the Berlinetta isn’t exactly a Fiat Panda to begin with. Its 6.2-liter V12 churns out 740 glorious hp, enough to propel the car to 60 mph in only 3.1 seconds. The ultrarare flag-waver harks back to Ferrari’s bespoke past, as the company built several region-specific sports cars in the 1950s and 1960s.

$2.5 million – Bugatti Chiron

How do you follow up a classic? You make something even better.
With a starting price of $2.5 million and a gorgeous new body, the divine Chiron outdoes its predecessor in every conceivable way. While the Bugatti Veyron redefined what an automobile could do, the Chiron laughs at those who said the Veyron was the last of its kind, pushing the boundaries of performance even further into the stratosphere.
The supercar’s monstrous specs are made possible by its reworked quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16, which now produces 1,500hp and a monstrous 1,180 lb-ft. Sixty mph is dealt with in a rather quick 2.5 seconds on the way to the Chiron’s top speed, which is limited to 261 mph. It’s still not the fastest car in the world — that title belongs the Hennessey Venom GT — but cars like these aren’t just about speed; they’re about making statements. We think you’ll agree this Bugatti makes a very strong statement indeed.

$2 million – Koenigsegg One:1

You can buy a lot with $2 million — a really nice house, about 80 Mazda MX-5’s, or the Swedish “megacar” shown above. A logical thinker could probably think of a better way to spend your life savings, but megacars don’t give a damn about logic. Because they’re mega. And after reading what the car is capable of, $2 million might actually be a steal.
The limited-edition One:1 is based on the Agera R, and it earned its poetic moniker by employing a 1:1 kilogram-to-horsepower ratio. The figure on each side of the colon? 1,340. That’s right, this car has 1,340hp, and can theoretically top 273 mph because of it. Simply put, this is one of the fastest automobiles ever made, and with its F1-style honeycomb core, carbon-fiber intake manifold, and ventilated ceramic brakes, it’s one of the most advanced as well.
Just six examples of the speedy Swede were built, and each one was sold quite quickly. Keep an eye out on Craigslist — you never know.

$2 million – Koenigsegg Regera

When we think of hybrid hypercars, we generally fantasize about the “holy trinity” — aka, the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and Ferrari LaFerrari. Somehow, Koenigsegg always gets left out, despite the fact that the Swedish automaker makes a vehicle that outshines its electrified competition in many ways.
Powered by a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 and a 4.5-kWh battery pack, the $2 million Regera produces an outstanding 1,500hp in total, a stat made all the more impressive when you consider the car’s low weight of 3,240 lbs. Zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds is impressive to be sure, but the Regera’s 0 to 186 mph sprint is even more mind-blowing — the feat is accomplished in only 10.9 seconds. By Koenigsegg’s internal estimates, the car will be able to reach its top speed of 248 mph in just 20 seconds or so, which is a triumph over physics as much as it is a bragging right.
