Linda Ikeji shared on her Instagram handle for young people to understand that the beginning is always tough but you need to ride the tide. see her post below 

19 years ago as a cheerleader for a 7up sponsored basketball game at National stadium, Surulere. I think they paid us N5k or N3k per day for a two day tournament..and that money served me for a few weeks in university...lol. Showing this because you young people need to understand that the beginning is always tough, but you need to ride the tide. What determines whether you will be successful later in life is how you persevere and keep fighting. You take the little things until the big things show up and they will if you keep working hard and never give up. Giving up is what most do when it gets though. If you dont go through hardship, what story will you tell when you succeed? #thinkaboutit Wonder where Fatima is now...(the lady in the pic with me)
