Breaking: Linda Ikeji's Blog Has Finally Been Removed By Google

So sad. After several attempt by her enemies especially the hacker called Mr Aydee, they've finally succeeded in geting Google to remove the site after they lodged a campaign of copyright infringement against her. This must be a big blow to the multimillionaire blogger who is Africa's number one. She is expected to release a statement on this. Earlier in the day she told her readers that she's been trying to get a domain name but the internet squatters have hijacked most of the likely name she cud use. That's a multimillionaire business google has just shut down! Couldn't they have verified all this allegations against her and know that it's the handiwork of hackers and haters!

They should also have known that most people in Nigeria actually registered on blogger cos of her(I guess)
Folks like u can never ever gonna get it. She was infringing on copyright and intellectual property rights of others.
She was stealing other people's works- like articles and photos and posting them on her site without their consent. She was drawing traffic to her site and charging advertisers for that and Google was also paying her.
If Google didn't take here down, it would be opening itself up for lawsuit as accomplice.

She mentioned that her father did not want her to buy the Range Rover, she bought it after she was able to persuade the man to allow her.

This reminds me of a Yoruba proverb that says 'What an old person can see sitting down, even if a young person climbs a tree he/she will/may not see it!

What do I stand to gain if her biz crumbles despite all her years of hardwork? What is showing off in this? sad Do you know me? What makes you think I have not written more than your lineage put together? Sad. I only talked on the issue objectively and you are here spitting dust!

Dear Jesus, when will Nigerians start seeing things the way it should be. Needless to day, when will someone like this start having a working brain?

This is why u will never b heard of in Nigeria as a self acclaimed blogger....if d comment i mde here on NL made u start boiling like dis den only God knows wat will happn if someone criticizes ur post in ur so called 'blog'.

At d bolded i cn tolerate d part where i dnt hv a workn brain buh as for d lineage part u just show how fvcked up ur sense of reasonin is... If i go on wit d insults d mods wil b forced 2ban me xo just sit bck nd re-evaluate ur comment as a blogger...

Shinatu:



And most men can? I guess that history has shown that men actually remain the same after they come across fame and wealth? undecided
Darling, u and I know that no matter how wealthy a man becomes, he will still keep his old time and childhood friends; even if they are poor drunks...he will still be dinning with them cheerfully n even go to drink together with them. But once a woman sees 1milion naira in her account, she has become a role model to all women n girls out there; she can't go out with her old friends who couldn't make it rich instead she mocks them indirectly n flaunt whatever she has acquired to also mock them.

She sees every guy who doesn't have money more than her as below her class...she only wants to mingle with richer people while snapping pics up n down like a billboard bimbocheesy

well she deserves it. well before u start crucifing me lemme give my reasons.



well every business have its protocols and should always take a step up when necessary.

one of the worst business decisions she made was not knowing when to step up . you made your hit as a blogger on to the extent that millions were made monthly and neither did it occur to her to buy a domain naime. honestly buying a dedicated server that would serve the millions of users may not even cost up to five hundred k. but she blatantly refused but instead gave the life of her company of business as u may have it to strick oyibo companies who dont give a damn about africa.

maybe someone may say that other closely matched domain names where registered. when ur into serious business you should be ready to spend. honestly i believe if she had given any of the domain resellers at least 5 mill they would have sold the domain to her. *after all u spend money to make money. facebook bought their domain which they thought ws more appealing than the previous domain they had.

i became a nairalander a way back. had been usin nairaland since 2007 *and many of us here would believe that seun started with simple machine forum (smf) but he knew when to step up and free himself from all these stupid rules and regulations. seun also knew when to discontinue the adsense service and instead developed his own marketing program and i think he earns more now, even if he doesnt now he would in the long run,

*as much as i understand her pains, i dont pity her a bit, its just a miscalculated business decision. every buisness should have a team of experts who give sound biz advice and listen to counsel when given

Op: U shld ve used the word Google Suspends LIB than removed Linda Ikeji. As per my opinion on this issue, #LindaIkeji shld go and sort it out or get a new domain. Domain shldnt really be her name she can think of a diff name get d link shared to her readers and carry on with d struggle. #ItAintEasyButItIsWell - I am Coonett

Linda what? Pleaseeee they should have done that earlier, her blog is a sour on the lips of journalism. Mindless lifting without giving credit is shear wickedness. Google should shut down other blogs like hers. By the way,why didn't she get a dormain name earlier? Awoof! Abi! Mtchew, good radiance to bad rubbish.

I don't even visit her blog because somehow she appears to me like an online bully



I will never forgive her for what she said about 9ice when he told bloggers not to upload his songs



But why are people hating on her? And why was her blogged removed?



Seem to me she has offended some high and mighty at Google



Or maybe her bad mouth

People just shouting bad belle(even linda, herself.), typical Nigerian brains.

Nobody addressing the copyright infringement issue. angry

I believe if he doesn't have proof against her google will never remove her blog. Except if of course google the google team too are jealous of her. cheesy :X :/

And she most have been contacted too to prove otherwise. And she'd be telling G staffs it's bad belle oo, it's bad belle oo. Like seriously who will listen to this. cool

Just like Linda Ikeji is ignorant about copyright laws so are many on here. Many lecturers including profs have lost their jobs because of it. Presently, at the University of Ilorin, we postgraduate students now have our thesis subjected to anti-plagiarism software. Once you fail it, you'd lose your studentship and MAY escape prison. It's a very serious offence. It's so serious that if your thesis doesn't make up to 50% of your own writings, you're gone. So people, forget 'enemies' of progress. What is wrong is wrong. She made a mistake.
I hope she realizes. Every mistake is an opportunity to rise again. All the best as she finds her way.

The truth is that she stole someone's intellectual property. Why are we talking like she is innocent?

She offended @MrAyeDee who doesn't take shit.

[size=13pt]And the fvcking Aye dee you hail is cyber squatting on her domain name, an id.iot without honour, thats wat he is. if you are going to point fingers then ur hands should at least be clean..........

this is so saaaad! cry
but she really shud have made arrangements for a proper domain ages ago. for someone who has appeared on countless "influential young africans" lists, flaunted pictures of the house she was building, and even posted pictures of her beautiful car, it is shocking she relied on the 'awuf' services of for all these years and neva thought of registering a website for herself.
is this the typical case of africans never being able to plan their lives beyond a week? sad

I think she's been on borrowed time for a long time.

And rather than invest in her own domain and in proper journalist she's been acting like she's an untouchable picking fights with fighters.

Google have shown her how irrelevant she is - the blog always belonged to them!

Nigerians are envious - and she should have seen this coming and put in place a robust disaster/contingency plan.

Her father once warned her not to buy a range rover ooo but she needed to show off that she's made it big in blogging and so called more attentions to herself.I hope she finds a remedy before spending all she has finish.This is just a compulsory holiday for Linda,hopefully,she finds a husband inbtw.

https://www.nairaland.com/1937848/linda-ikeji-finally-addresses-guy#26973499

If I were advising Linda Ikeji, I would tell her to file a suit against Emmanuel Efremov in the US (NY) under the provisions of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) for registering the name lindaikeji.net. It is relatively easy to prove that the guy is cybersquatting.

Emmanuel Efremov
HEMPSTEAD, NY
2 Address(s) Found Available
Hempstead,NY 11550
Indianapolis,IN 46224
Emmanuel Efremov
Age: 27yrs.

If she's interested, I wouldn't even mind looking into suing the guy on her behalf! BUT Linda needs to file a trademark application first and only then can she bring a suit against the guy in a federal court.
