Lots have accused Nigerian blog queen Linda Ikeji of being a lazy blogger who got lucky, as she has being accused by people in the past of just doing a simple job of copy and paste on her blog site.
Recently an individual on Twitter with the handle @MrAyeDee informed the general public that the global tech giant Google had responded to complaints about his content being used on Linda’s blog without any form of recognition or compensation.
In actuality some posts on Linda’s blog between yesterday and today are visibly missing from her blog. Check his Tweets below.
Linda’s personal blog is currently in the top 10 sites visited in Nigeria and her income is estimated at about $900,000 annually from ads and sponsored posts, although the blogger has never released real figures.
This particular case brings into sharp perspective the very grey area of ‘news gathering’ practices of especially in Nigeria where blogs and websites recycles stories repeatedly.

This is beefing of the highest order! !!

Hmm..

Hmmm

If you profit off news content written by others, that is intellectual property theft and it is frowned on very heavily abroad.

Does Linda Ikeji pay taxes on her income? It will be interesting to know the answer to that question.

Ko kan aye

Oh, so now wey she don buy N24m car, na una no say she dey copy and paste abi?

..

There's trouble. Her blog cannot be accessed!

Contents copyright can never work in Nigeria but Linda should pls pay article writers for contents. But to be candid, there's no way u'll know the real writer of a particular article in this country

copyrighting is an important part of online and offline business. So let us watch out while blogging and ensure we give credit where necessary. I always try to do that for our blogs

sure but Linda Had better move to a .com. The earlier the better for her because Google head yi o.

Unfortunately, she does not own the .com. She own the .net though and its being forwarded to her free blog.

She could just wake up one day and all her blog post would be wiped out.

Google dey craze reach that one o. Who know Linda make dem tell her.

Of course the person that registered the .com is waiting for her to a make a move and he would bill her real good. But I bet she can afford as much as 2k to 3k dollars... And acquire the .com
