The above picture is the last straw that broke the camel's back, as regards Linda's blog that was taken down today.

Well,
The news is everywhere;
Linda Ikeji's blog has been taken down by Google (Hopefully Temporarily).

The gist is that the above picture which has four sequences, had its copyright infringed upon by her blog.
In other words, she posted one of them without express permission and/or having the right to do so.

Now, after the right owners of the picture reported the case to Google, the verdict has finally resulted to, the blog going down for plagiarism.

One thing that is obvious to me here is this; Linda's blog can never be the only blog that posted this picture without having the express right to do so.
So, why Linda Ikeji's Blog,, A.K.A LIB

Well, the simple truth is that, the person that must have reported her blog to the company that owns that pix is most likely a Nigerian.
So, I ask; Why such hatred ?

If you can recall, Linda Ikeji recently bought for her sexy self, A gorgeous looking jeep.
Infact, she had to thank her dad for finally allowing her to buy the jeep after much pleading and waiting.
Now, that was so sweet.
But, something else happened.

She wrote a long article of what looked like a challenge to her fellow ladies TO STOP BELIEVING THAT IT ONLY THROUGH OPENING THEIR LEGS FOR MEN THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT.
She strongly and bravely told all that cared to listen that her financial success was as a result of her HARDWORK.
Hardwork ?
Hmmm... So many people don't believe that, you know...
Maybe, this is true...
Maybe, her point is valid...
But, when I saw responses she got from her fellow ladies everywhere (Even from other blogs), I cringed in suspense of what would be.

"In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.
But in a country badly governed, Wealth is something to be ashamed of."

At the end of the day,
It all looked like Linda had rubbed her success on the faces of her fellow women.
At that point,
THE BATTLE LINE WAS DRAWN.

What just happened to Linda would still happen to you reading this, if you don't learn how to live in a "country badly governed".
'Haters' as people call them, exist so we can be humble enough.
If linda had thanked her fans for supporting her blog through the years, and praying for them to get their own breakthrough too,,,
Maybe,.... just maybe,
her haters wouldn't have multiplied in geometric progression as they have done.

Well, again,
She had just twitted that she is on it and is trying to get her blog back.
I trust that she 'll bounce back.
She 'll do all it takes... She must be damn desperate now.
What about her paid adverts?
What about her paid contracts?
You sure won't wanna be a Linda Ikeji, right now.

But, if you want to be successful in Naija and still have peace of mind,
NEVER YOU RUB YOUR SUCCESS ON PEOPLE'S FACES.

It is "veli veli dangerful"

. Wooow,,, she does that ? And someone just commented that she's a rude person. Well, I won't know who she really is until I meet her. But if she doles out money as you said, then it suggests she has a good heart.

. Broadcasting success is no doubt dangerous, dear. But please, do you know Linda Ikeji in person? Why do you suggest that she may be rude ?

una don come again..public holiday don finish..make una go don somthing

Keep ur private life private

You people make me sick, hope you know Nairaland was attacked too, Seun never rubbed his millions in peoples faces, ever yet he was attacked, Linda will rise again and all of you will be put to shame.

For her 34yrs, she behaved like a silly little girl (no insults intended pls). What intelligent adult in this day n age trumpets their achievements? She needn't do that. In a country where many people blame everyone 4 their misfortune; try to bring down anyone who makes progress; are bitter, hateful n jealous and can barely afford a proper meal in a day; what did she really expect? The day she posted her range rover with it's attendant write-up, I pitied her and her glass world. Linda I don't even know u but welcome to d real world. Sure u are awake now. I think ur write-up did d damage cos it sounded like u were gloating. Sorry all d same but this is Naija where u should make good use of ur brain. U should have asked people like Seun 4 advise b/4 going public with ur beautiful car. LESSON: Bad belle people n Haters plenty. May God help u stand again n become even greater than before. It's not ur end, just a passing phase.

. Are you also aware that a certain company came to buy off nairaland, but Seun refused to sell...
The amount they bidded was damn outrageous - Millions of dollars.
Well,
It was weeks after this gossip leaked that Nairaland got attacked.

I'm sure you know this not.
