  12. Okay Stella, I've had enough of the comparison between yourself and Linda Ikeji. People need to understand the difference between 'blogging for money and fame' and 'blogging from the heart as a hobby'. Getting internet traffic is a thing all bloggers want so desperately, yes I know. Linda started this in 2006 (if I'm right) and she deserves what she's got. I'm not licking her arse or anything but I feel like she's worked so hard to get to this stage in her wonderful career. Even as a top representative from her blog doesn't stop me from criticizing her when she does something wrong. Stella, you're also a rich, hard-working married mom who has gotten fame through doing what you do best. People know you all over the world and I'm not even exaggerating. You have people who reads your blog in the UK but they don't leave a comment. I'm not kidding when I tell you you've got a huge fan base over here. When I said 'people read your blog in the UK' I meant to say white people. We love you so much over here. I'm also sure you have a massive fan base over there in Deutschland. I got to find out about your blog through the same Linda Ikeji people cuss or compare you with. I believe she did a post about you sometime last year? All I'm trying to say is, let's stop the comparison. Forget about the competition and just focus on your blogs. Hardwork surely pays off. I believe within the space of 3 good years your blog would be compared to the likes of Perez Hilton and TMZ. Right now, you're even bigger than those idiots over at MTO. Believe in yourself as we enter 2014. I love you and Linda so please let's stop comparing the both of you. Cheers.

  27. Boxing Day is traditionally the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses[1] or employers. Today, Boxing Day is the bank holiday that generally takes place on 26 December. It is observed in the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations.

    In South Africa, Boxing Day was renamed Day of Goodwill in 1994. In Ireland, the day is known as St. Stephen's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Stiofáin) or the Day of the Wren (Irish: Lá an Dreoilín). In many European countries, including notably Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, 26 December is celebrated as the Second Christmas Day.[2]

  34. Na story u dey find, boxing simple means arranging "brown paper packages tied up with strings" preferably in little or big boxes for the purpose of giving them as gifts .
    I like how u said Hi,totally took the seriousness off ur previous warning, truth be told I didn't really like it(even though the hi was becoming boring), but since its ur blog and the warnee didn't complain who am I to complain .lol

  35. Boxing Day originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria. December 26th became a holiday as boxes were filled with gifts and money for servants and tradespeople.

  46. Stella that is the day you take out those your boxing gloves and then you see that wall in your bathroom? Yes that one next to the window hit it hard as in real hard eh that is boxing day hahahaha Prince Jobless best comment ever and very mature Stella heed that advice oh you don't see TMZ and MTO yabbing each other online they respect each other's hustle even Wendy always compliments her fellow talk show hosts on other stations on her show every now and then. When you approve comments making silly comparisons between you and LIB you are just fueling a non existent fire and giving your readers the go ahead to act all stupid in their comparisons...unless their is something you are not telling us sha...at least Linda has never hidden her dislike for Emmy Collins the babe doesn't even blog about him she ignores him like the nasty human being he is like he does not exist meanwhile Emmy's blog is full of Linda this Linda that.

  53. People stop making up stories. Boxing Day comes from slavery. Gifts are opened on the 25th not the 26th. Boxing day was a day where after the masters have ate their last christmas meal, they would give away the left overs in boxes to the slaves and servants who would have their feast on the 26th, not the 25th since they would still be working making sure the masters enjoy themselves. If ypu google Boxing Day you will find several explanation around that master- servants relationship.
