There is war going on twitter right now over popular blogger Linda Ikeji's blog, in fact as we talk Google has pulled down some of her post after a twitter user said he had asked Google to pull down her post for copyright and Plagiarism. He also listed some of other international blogs such as TMZ, DailymailUK that she copied some of their news word to word without authorization.

Some twitter users were on the defensive side of the popular blogger while some says she need to be penalized for plagiarism.

For me I think almost all bloggers are guilty of this not just Linda Ikeji, but since she is more popular, all eyes are fixed on her and more to do with the Range Rover SUV that she bought recently..Many people thinks she makes money now and has to follow the right procedure.... According to music activist Lawyer Uduak she listed 2 mistakes Linda Ikeji made which are;
1. Not incorporating as a business to shield her from personal liability.
2. Not having her own self hosted platform...
Here are some screen shot below....Read from below to the top.

Linda Ikeji is said to generate an income from her blog of about $900,000 (N140m) annually mostly from advertisements and sponsored posts.

The situation is really pathetic. Linda should learn from this and emerge better.

I dont think any of these has anything to do with PHD. I sttongly disagree. I was forced to go through over 200 Tweets to very well understand what is happening.

I smell jealousy. I hope she will learn her lessons.

Guys ain't smiling at all!

And a brief explanation will be this.

Linda Ikeji stole so many Copyrighted materials for her blog and has such been running her blog at "No cost". This act deprives the real owners of contents "Traffic" and i think we all understand what traffic means.

And Yes, She is playing Childishly with Fire.

Them accuse you of stealing content for morning, you go steal another one for Afternoon

*In Davido Voice* Linda Ikeji go hear ram

Lol.She should have armed herself well b4 now.She shouldn't tell me she wasn't expecting this sooner or later. E fit be one bad belle Nigerian wey bring their aTtention to her blog ooo

That was exactly what i thought too o. But no, it got nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with gread.

She made about 140 million per annum. Had She rightfully purchase all borrowed contents on her blog, she could have ended up with less than 80-90 million per annum.

So she did what every ***** blogger will do. She took the easy way out.

she damned all the consequences. And now, she will Face them!

Why are they hating on Linda. although I don't like her, but this is not the way for people to vent their anger on her. Nairaland has more copy and paste than any other forum in Nigeria and Africa. how about that?

Trying to justify plagiarism? She is learned enough to know that plagiarism is illegal. Where there is no law there is no sin (transgression).
You don't go about stealing people's contents to promote your blog. Bad!

I am not a fan of Linda Ikeji's blog. I discovered long ago that she copies and pastes word for word. It is the same thing I read from other news sources that I read from her too, word for word. So, I got bored of reading from her.

You don't get it, do you? Nairaland is a forum; LIB isn't but a blog. Even at that, NLers still provide 'sauce' to most contents on FP.
@Bold, that's pure BS!

Haters am sure it is because of the range rover she just bought that is making them to hate on her like this, I hope she would learn from this.

Google doesn't play with plagiarism, that's why I have been saying that Linda should get a custom domain, set it up to point to her blogger.

By the time GOOGLE shuts her blog like they have done hundreds of blogspots in Nigeria, her eyes go clear.

Bt if she has been use a custom domain, she can easily host a blog, import some posts into a wordpress blog and still continue her service.

Wordpress will let u get away with some of these things GOOGLE doesn't play with.

when we copy and paste, we are almost always thoughtful enough to tell everyone our source.
This is even beyond doing what is legal, it is doing what is rightfully right. It is common sense!

You guys should at least know much about something before jumping into conclusion!
Do you think linda is a learner that she won't give credit to where she got her news?
the issue the foool has with linda is that she did not get permission from the source to publish the news
he also said something about Linda not paying for pictures she gets from websites like gettyimage

Well, that makes no difference. She is still guilty of copyright infringement. I don't see Linda winning this war.

It is obvious you don't know too much about the Issue yourself. The guy you called a "Foool" was roobed by Linda Ikeji! He is the owner of lindaikeji.net. Go to that website now and you will be re-directed to Linda's blog!
The thing is that Linda broke too many rules, the getty image is just one of her numerous crimes. She stole from tens of people. If Mr A does not get her, Mr B will, if not Mr C will......the list goes on.
And please be easy on the Victim, calling him a fool is just wrong
