What you are about to read is quite long…and chilling! I
wasn’t going to share this info in public but after I showed it to some family members
and a few friends who came to the house this morning, everyone agreed that I
need to share this, that you all need to read this. You see, what happened with
my blog wasn’t about beef. It wasn’t because I showed off my new SUV. It wasn’t
about plagiarism, or copyright infringement. It was something deeper, very
personal and maybe even more dangerous. Some would call it obsession. Please continue...
To understand this I am going to start from the beginning
but before that I want to talk about plagiarism. My understanding of plagiarism
is when you take someone’s work and republish it verbatim as your own work. I
don’t do that. But if I have ever done that in the past then I apologize. It was
an oversight. I do get a lot of original content, way more than any other
blogger in this country. Some of the biggest news stories in this country in
recent times was broken by LIB. From Goldie’s death (God rest her soul) Aluu4,
ABSU rape, P-Square saga, Solomon Akiyesi and plenty more. And when I take news from other sources, I
always credit them. When I don’t give credit is when the news is everywhere so
I write it in my own words and make it mine. I don’t believe that is a crime. I
admit that I have used photos without giving credit. I apologize. That will
never happen again. You learn every day. And I have learnt from this.
Now about Mr Aye Dee. Let me start from the very beginning
so you guys understand what really happened. Like I said earlier, this was not
about copyright or plagiarism. It was personal. Very personal. In 2009 or
2010…(not sure) a guy named Alex who used to run 1976AD blog contacted me. He
said he was impressed with my work and wanted to encourage me to never relent.
Alex Info 1976AD (how I knew him back then) and I became very good friends
online. In fact he was my confidant. Every time I had questions or challenges,
I would reach out to him.
By 2011, Alex 1976AD and I became quite close…online.
We even exchanged numbers and spoke a few times. He always reminded me how
proud of me he was. He told me I would one day become a phenomenon. I wasn’t
number one at the time but he told me that I would one day be the biggest news site
in Nigeria…that he believed in me that much. He was my friend, my supporter; he
sent me news to post on my blog. He wanted me to succeed. He told me things to
do to get more readers. He knew a lot about the internet and how it works so I
always went to him for advice. He was my anchor.
In 2011, Alex 1976AD made me his blog’s Person of the Year 2011. I shared that post excitedly on my blog. He said I was the most deserving Nigerian for the award that year…and he wrote the most beautiful article about me. He was so proud of me…and never hesitated to tell me. I was grateful. I was happy to have him as a friend...even though we'd never met.

I was happy to have him as a friend...even though we'd never met.
Then we stopped talking. I sincerely can’t remember when
exactly. I know that Alex 1976AD tried to reach out to me mid last year…but I
can’t remember if I responded. If I didn’t, it was an oversight. I’m really bad
at replying mails because I get so many and I’m always busy blogging…but
anyway.
On Wednesday around 2.07pm…my long lost friend Alex Info 1976AD contacted me via gmail chat. I was so happy when I saw his name pop up. I was like yay…Alex 1976AD! He would know what I should do in this situation. I thought he was reaching to me after all this while because he’d seen all the craziness going on and wanted to lend support…but what he said to me next shocked me to my bone marrow. He said ‘I hope u’re sitting down’. Thankfully I was because I would have literally fallen if I hadn’t been sitting.

You see, my good friend and biggest supporter Alex 1976AD
told me he was Mr Aye Dee. The same guy who started this. The guy that got
Google to shut down my blog. It wasn’t about plagiarism or copyright
infringement…it was about a scorned former friend. It was about love turning to
hate because he felt I’d abandoned him after I became big. Please patiently read our chat below…
The last time he tried to contact me was on July 12th 2013...before reaching out again on Wednesday
I will copy and paste the convo from here on because it's quite long. Linda Ikeji is – me: Alex Info 1976AD/Mr Aye Dee is – info
me: are u for real or ur just messing with me???
me: u are aye dee?
me: the person I thought respected
me the most?
info: I do
me: u gave me woman of the
year
info: Yes
me: are u for real?
info: that is why I was
confused when I sent messages and you ignored all of them
info: I was like what have I done to
this woman
info: I have helped all I can
info: and now she is doing like I am
a non-existing entity because of a simple request
me: are u for real
though???
info: 100%
me: my heart is beating
so fast
me: it can't be u
info: As mine has been
for over a week

together but she's ignoring me

success had gone to your head

chat with me?

them
info: that maybe I need
to go back to the account we've always used
me: i see alot in spam
and junk
info: That's where mine
probably is
info:
Funny thing is I realized I should use this account when someone I work with
who knows how you and I have worked together said
me: i'm in shock
info: I know you and
Linda manufactured this beef to make her more popular, cause there is no way
you would ever do anything against her willingly

me: my goodness
info: It's ok
info: No harm meant
info: All can be cleaned up
info: and have you emerge stronger
me: wow
me: so why did you decide to reach
out?
info: Because I figured out

yesterday and this morning
info: there IS NO WAY this woman can
write this if she knows its me
info: So had to go into this account
and chat with you
info: and if you still didn't
respond then I would know
info: Cause I saw my number there
but the name of one of my partners
me: wow
info: I figured she must
have forgotten that she's called me on this #
info: Yes o.
info: The whole thing has been very
traumatic to say the least
info: not what was said, but whom it
was said by
info: I've never publicly stated
anything we've done together
info: because I didn't want it to
seem like I'm guilt tripping you
info: but you can imagine what it
felt like
info: especially when to add insult
to injury, you unfriended and blocked me lol
info: I was like Dereisagodo
me: i didn't know who u
were
me: u know what?
info: what?
me: Recently I wondered what u
think of me...wondered if u were still following my progress because u used to
reach out a lot to me back then
info: I used to but you
stopped responding
me: what u tot of how
much I'd progressed
me: i just wondered
info: I am VERY proud of
you
me: wow!
info: Everything I told
you will happen is happening
info: and it's about to get better
me: wow
me: i can't believe this
me: from love to hate?
info: Hate ke?
info: Never that
info: Can't happen
info: it's like hating one's own
blood
info: all the stuff we've done
together
info: not possible
info: If nothing else
info: this has brought out your
enemies
info: I know them
me: but u are number one
lol
me: i can't believe this
me: u started it
info: After I thought
you ignored and ignored and ignored
me: i didn’t
info: I believe you
me: u gave me woman of
the year
me: no one else has ever done that
me: why would i ignore u?
info: fame makes people
do crazy things
me: i'm not one of those
my goodness
info: I know you're not
me: i haven't changed
info: i believed in my
heart you're not
me: I’m same girl just
richer lol
me: wow
info: Yay
me: i swear i can't
believe this
info: You don't know how happy
I am to hear this
info: A little part of me died when
all this happened
info: I've truly never felt this
level of betrayal
info: or (Perceived) betrayal
info: I was like how can Linda do
this to me? A person who saw her future and committed to helping her attain it
out of sheer belief in her, how can she turn me into god knows what
me: i wasn't even following u on twitter. i didn't see ur tweets.
someone who helps me source for news might have taken the stuff from u
info: Same here, someone informed me
and my partners
info: and they ran with it
info: as you know, I used to provide
you with stuff
info: so you know personally I don't
care
me: it was only when the
rants started that i took note of the name mr aye dee
info: lol
me: I am shocked
info: I have never been so wrong
about someone
info: I am truly sorry
info: I should have tried to reach
out through third parties or through this
info: I messed up. All my fault
info: I hope you forgive me
me: so u thought i knew
u were aye dee for real?
info: Of course
info: I've been following you since
I opened my twitter account
info: then when we set up your
blog-twitter I think I mentioned it
me: but I wasn't
following u and i never tweeted at u
me: because i didnt know it was u
info: so I thought you
knew but again, since last year when you became unreachable, I stopped trying,
figuring you have grown the proverbial set of wings
me: i know u as
info1976ad
me: no other name
info: Yes, realized that
this morning
me: wow
info: Yes
info: Wow is correct
info: You know part of me never
believed you could be the way it appeared you were
info: it just seemed crazy
me: u should have tried
to reach out to me
me: through here
info: I did. email and
twitter
info: I know
info: Entirely my fault
me: i always wondered
what happened to u
info: Last time we
communicated
info: I think you were supposed to
get in touch when you were in NYC
then you came, went, didn't hear
from you
me: u were such a strong
support system for me
info: reached out a few
more times via this acct
info: No answer
info: Of course, always and anytime.
You know I will always guide you right and assist in any way I can
info: I'm sure you've never doubted
that
info:
so
me: so...
me: what do u want now?
info: Your continued
success
info: Now that I've reached out and
know this is a big misunderstanding
info: tell me what you want from me
and I'll do it
info: no questions asked
me: i'm confused
info: let me try and
un-confuse you
me: ok
info: go on, ask away
me: i don't know what to
ask again
me: im still in shock i swear
info: That's why I asked
you to sit down
info: I knew I had to
when you responded
info: I was like oh crap, she really didn't know
info: What would you like me to do?
me: there’s nothing to
be done
me: I’m happy u reached out
info: There's always
something
info: PR crisis managers handle
stuff like this daily
me: i will definitely
unblock u now and follow u
me: lol
info: Hahaha
info: how about we do this
me: but don't worry
everything will die down
info: we simultaneously
post something
me: what?
info: I can handle the
heat
info: Rest assured. You're the one
I'm worried about
info: I post: @LindaIkeji and I had a huge misunderstanding as a result
of miscommunication. It is over now, and our relationship is back to one of
mutual respect and admiration.
info: actually for 160 characters:
@LindaIkeji & I had an avoidable misunderstanding, it's now been resolved ,
& our relationship is back to 1 of mutual respect & admiration.
info: And we never speak of this
again 
info: the new story will be how did
they do it
info: and what happened
info: but we can keep them guessing
forever
me: wow
info: Crisis management
101

info: what/whom is going to get
between us? Our relationship predates "THE" Linda Ikeji afterall

story for your memoirs

to HAVE to write one day

me: so the reports to
google will stop?
info: I'll ask my guys.
They put requests in for my tweets that they say you took
info: At this end. Those who have
been aggreived by you, I shall talk down. You might have to take some of their
stuff down though
info: But if you want, I'll walk you
through overcoming copyright challenges
info: I want you to be bulletproof
for the next part of your journey
info: that of being an international
conglomerate, Nigeria's first bonafide Multi Million $ web property
me: after everything that
happened now i'm wondering if i can trust u

you cause NOT to?
info: I believe in you
info: nothing can change that

info: Me, not so much when it comes
to people I care about
info: if in this convo you had shown
yourself to be incorrigible
info: then different story
info: but obviously this has been a
huge huge misunderstanding
me: so what do u suggest?
info: the above tweet
simultaneously
info: and if you want, let me help
you strategize on making the brand bullet proof
me: u want me to tweet
too?
info: Has to be from
both. And then we place a gag order on ourselves
info: if there are tweets you want
me to remove
info: I shall
info: just point them out
info: This way all the
haters/non haters/amebos/jjcs who want us to destroy each other will have no
gasoline to pour on any fire
me: nah don't worry
about the tweets
me: its ok
info: No. I have to
info: don't want to be an expressway
to anything damaging to you
info: Linda that I know and Linda
that I felt was aloof and inaccessible are two different people
me:
i swear i wasn't bothered about what was being said...was just afraid of the
blog being taken down cos i'm not so keen on getting a website
info: Of course
info: you know the LindaIkeji.net
has been yours from day 1 right
me: didn't know that
info: Lol did you forget?
me: so what do u want me
to tweet?
info: @LindaIkeji &
I had an avoidable misunderstanding, it's now been resolved , & our
relationship is back to 1 of mutual respect & admiration.
info: let me know when, so we can
hit send simultaneously
info: of course let me know so I can
refollow you
me: we will tweet same
thing?
info: yes
info: and never speak on it again
info: I've seen enough pr done
info: to know this is the stuff that
works
me: to be sincere i
don't want to tweet anything. I never tweeted when everyone was talking...and i
don't want to now
info: Yes
info: but to bury it
info: only way
info: after that return to silence
me: but i can
acknowledge ur tweet

info: that's the best
way

info: but rest assured
info: eyes of nigeria are on me and
you
info: some want us to kill ourselves
sef
info: some want me to destroy you
info: literally
info: people are wicked
info: some of them are people you'd
think are your friends
info:
Let me know when to re-follow and send
info: Speaking of losing your site,
have you backed everything up?
me: not yet
info: What are you
waiting for?
info: You're an enterprise
info: Can you hire a writer?
info: If you do s/he needs a
crash course on summarizing news
info: or items that do not look like
the original source
me: i write alone
me: but will employ people soon
info: Hire someone
info: waste of your energy
info: you are a good business woman
info: not a darn writer
info: just my observation
info: am I still allowed to speak
freely
me: lol
me: whatever
info: What?
info: lol
info: can you get someone?
me: will do
info: Also
info: You need to place rotators (or
whatever they are called) to rotate ads in and out. Right now your site is
slower than 95% of the entire internet.
Info: Sooner rather than later that
will start to take a toll
me: what's rotators?
info: An example:- http://www.codeitpretty.com/2013/08/blog-ad-rotator-with-html-and-javascript.html
info: everytime a page is refreshed
a new ad appears in the placeholder
info: this makes your site super
fast
info: assuming you use the right one
info: If you're using blogger what
you do is:
info: Go to your blog layout screen.
info: 2. On whichever sidebar you
would like your ads to show, click on "Add a Gadget" and select the
HTML/JavaScript" gadget.
info: 3. Decide how you would like
for your ads to display (either one after another or two side by side). You can
see on the side of mine that they are just one after another. This code
is for one ad after the other, so if you want to display two columns of ads,
make sure that your sidebar is wide enough for two ads plus a little extra room
for the small space in between the ads. If you want them to display one after
the other, then your sidebar just needs to be a little wider than one ad.
info: can walk you through if need
be
me: my blog has been removed
info: when
me: just now
info: don’t panic
info: don’t hyperventilate either
info: we’ll get through this
info: if you want me to help you
that is
info: Ok, you there?
info: Ready?
me: yep
info: Ok domain
info: first things first
info: put out a tweet that you'll be
back up within the hour though i a limited capacity
info: choose what domain you want to
go with and let's point it to self hosted wordpress
info: blogger is proprietary
info: though any host can yank you,
your domain self hosted takes a bit more time, gives a bit more wiggle room
info: You there?
me: yep
info: Nervous?
info: Don't be
info: Ok so first decision
info: Tweet put out?
info: You need to define the story
before blogosphere does
info: Tweet should say: The Linda
Ikeji Blog shall be back shortly, thank you for your patience and understanding
info: Let me know when done
me: done
info: Super
info: next decision
info: what url?
me: every name i want
has been taken
info: Which names do you want?
Info: You're about to be bombarded
by your advertisers. I want to avoid that
continuity is key
me: lindaikeji.com, lindaikejiblog.com
info: Squatters
info: you'll pay a ton and won't
happen immediately
info: next
info: We have to move fast
info: You there?
me: yep
info: Ok can you focus
for the next 1 hour?
info: I know it's difficult, but I
need you to
info: Meanwhile I'll begin
backing up your blog
info: from this end
info: t3 line
info: shall probably be able to
salvage something
info: and you can repopulate with
that later on
me: ok
info: ok to which one?
me: so u asked
google to take my blog down?
info: Yes
info: I did
info: Hate me later
me: and they did without
even talking to me?
info: Linda let's focus
on the present and the future. Once you're up and running we can dissect the
past
info: You there?
info: I promise you, you are coming
back stronger than ever
info: Best believe it, good or bad, I've
never spoken anything into your life that hasn't come to pass.
Info: and I'm telling you now, your best is yet to come. What you made
in a year, you'll be making in a day
Info: You will be a global media player
Info: Companies will offer to buy your brand for billions of US$, and
you'll turn them down because you know better offers shall come
Info: the things I told you about in 2010, did they not start taking
place?
me: and then u tried to
destroy it. I wish u had reached out to me earlier
info: I swear I tried
info: But remember this
me: I feel like i truly
lost a friend
info: hard as it may be
to believe
me: i used to look
forward to talking with u
info: and now I am back
me: i felt u had my back
info: not going anywhere
except you say you are tired of me
info: I do
me: i could always run
to u
info: You still can
info: I am back, I promise you I am
info: I said this before, I'll
say it again. I am still your #1 supporter
#1 fan and totally committed to your
success
info: you there?
Yeah, well…that’s the shocking real
story. I thought I was dealing with Emmanuel Efremov...didn't know it was someone from my past. Mr dear friend Alex 1976AD aka Mr Aye Dee wanted to be back in my life and
he felt the best way to get my attention again was to shut down a blog I’ve
slaved for almost eight years. And because he knew what to do and had the
resources, he succeeded.
Below are his tweets last night
after our chat…his tone completely changed.
I appreciate this. This is someone I
used to love. Will always respect. I have absolutely nothing against him. At
the end of the day he’s not an enemy…God used him to open my eyes. I’ll always
be grateful.
I will like to say a big thank you
to everyone who reached out, people who have shown concern, but most especially
LIB readers. Your love and support has been overwhelming. Rest assured, I will
never stop blogging. As long as I have breath in me…I will always be a blogger.
I hope you guys have learnt something
from this story.
God bless you and yours and long
live LIB.

«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2144 of 2144Babe first time I saw the pic of this Mr Aydee I was like damn this bobo is fine and if he wasn't tryna shut u down we would have been dreaming of wedding bells between you and this hunk. Well it's over now and you came out stronger, abeg marry this guy and let's truly make this the story of the year. The guy seems like a decent guy, I thought he was gonna sound like a scary stalker/psycho when I started reading but babes there is something romantic about this story. Marry him joor! Glad to have u back
Bad belle pipo!
Welcome back Linda.....missed u plenty! My mind told me an insider was involved but cldnt say it considering d entire story and stuff. Pls, do it right...get ur website and everything necessary. God be with u. tee.
Cos u were in trouble you replied his chat. All the while he communicated and you never responded. Be good to people he has just shown you that he can bring you down
It is great you are back. You know what! You are already very strong with this. What you need do now is to have crash programme in journalism and employ more hands. God bless.
Be careful of people.... this has teach your a lesson. good luck LIB.
Oh my!!! What a misunderstanding that could hav ruined lives, So our blog is back, thank God, I really missed it
This is love in c_minor. Pls marry him
Sounds like a love story. Dat bad dat I had to roam about to get network so I can finish reading it, networks bn crappy. But I think u guys shud get 2geda Gaskiya. U kinda made for each oda. Pls let this love story end well. Guy is obviously crazy bout u.
Na wa oh,..dnt know whether this is a romantic story or even illuminati sef,…Please Linda, don’t depend on man, they’d fail. I’m glad you stood your ground plus challenges always come to make you stronger not because this MrAyeDee says so but because that’s the way life goes,…I pray for continuous wisdom for you.

Glad to have u back sexy Linda. Missed ya pieces.
May be He loves you...You guys should talk
I took my time to go through the story and all the comments and have arrived at this conclusion, Never take people for granted, 'money or no money'. Mr Ayedee made a huge mistake by his recent actions but honestly, I still pass a huge chunk of the blame to you cause he reached out to you when nobody else did. What happened may have opened a floodgate of greater things to happen so my dear, brace up and set the ball rolling.
A quick one Linda. Abeg employ one sharp person to be reading and sorting all your mails including spam and junk. Best of luck!
I am so happy that you are back on the Blog scene. This guy that committed this act against Linda is probably in love with her but do not know how to express himself, fearing he might be turned down! You are a man, you should say your mind, instead of beating around the bush. The worst is, Linda will say yes or no. This man's action to destroy Linda's blog is very pathetic!
..all I see is romance babie...someone took down your blog to get ur attention! Get married already!!!!
I'v bn tryn 2 join u but u dnt publish my comments. Mayb I wasn't doing it d right way. Pls tel me d procedures. Thanks. Well ds seem like a love story. I can sense luv in d air on both sides. Pls 4gv him. Its just 2 get ur attention. His intentions was not 2 pull u down hence he was quick 2 amend tns. And moreovr ds guy seem 2 hv it all so jealousy is way out of it. He is very handsome $ u r a pretty woman so I pray u two wl just tek it 2 d nxt level - D Aisle
You shouldn't have published the chat. It was highly unnecessary. If what you said about having not met him before is true,then your life might still be in danger with this expose.
wow this is indeed like a movie.was glued to the very end. He took things way too far. my God.Anyway i'm glad you are back Linda
www.thefunshionmistress.com
If this story is true, then, this guy is sick, dangerous and playing God! And you need wisdomat this point!!!! What kind of obsession is this, he will do it again and again if you dont protect yourself.
This could all still be an amazing marketing strategy. Linda gets bigger aye dee gets followed. Hmnnn.
Lol abi!
I looked into my crystal ball, what did I see: Linda ending up in bed with My Aye Dee, making cute babies.
Linda, make sure you fuck him properly oh! Lol. ~I am out!
Bank abi? She has lots of money and could pass for a bank...lol. Don't mind me I know you meant back:)
The only lesson i think you should learn from this is that when you climb do not forget those who helped you climb because you get loads of more important things to address. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming but other times take the time to acknowledge those who've helped you. It always goes a long way
Linda, you shouldn't have put the entire chat with the guy out there like that. Honestly, your advisers didn't give you good advise there. The mature thing would have been to just state publicly that you have resolved the issue with the concerned parties and privately plan how to protect yourself in the future. You have ended up making the guy your enemy again, the best thing is always to reduce your enemy count if you can help it.
Linda, I am still speechless at how people can be very wicked!!! I will read that again again because life they say is a lesson.
My sincere advice to you Linda is be careful! very careful!!! on whom you discuss certain things with especially this period. Every people you call "close friends" they might be green snake under green grass. or wolves in sheep clothen. The bible said: Put your trust in NO MAN!!!
More grease to your elbow!
Really missed u linda. Ma phone became boring cox I couldn't visit ur blog. Welcome back mwah

I may be in the minority here, it's time you become independent, you need to host your own site.
He's done it once he can do it again. It's very easy, you have used the intellectual property of others without permission so many times and anybody can point to a lot of them to get Google to get you down again.
It's shocking I've never heard about Linda Ikeji, but this issue has made me visit...wow.
Linda,congrats,this guy is your destiny helper,please do not forget him in a hurry. I do not know if the relationship will go deeper but seriously he will help you go a long way because he already saw you beyond how you saw yourself and thanks to God is not a hater, a hater would have finished you just like that.He got you that way to make you get a little more focused,dynamic and organised. Good luck to you both.
Hmm... Alex A.K.A. Mr. Crush became Obsessed. This is DEEP! i swear. Linda, This is one very intelligent social media guy that lost it because of his obsession. THAT IS IF ALL HE MENTIONED IN HIS CHAT IS TRUE THOUGH. Linda, i am sure you just got bigger;i meant BIGGER just like Alex's statement' A set back is usually a room to step up' i meant step the game girl. Na God sha o so u self behave. So gbo.
woow,such a long story but happy its all over... happy ur back & better cos i was wondering wer to be getting news and info from..
again, congrats
Happy to have you back Linda. Forgive Alex. He is a man consumed by a secret passion for you. Acknowledge him as a friend . Get to know him romantically. He may be your husband eventually bcos i read through and could sense the sincere love and respect he has for u. He acted to save his ego like most men do.!
Gbam! The guy na jealous lover!
THIS IS A PURE LOVE STORY. YOU WILL BE VERY STUPID TO LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR HUSBAND. THE ONLY PLACE I EVER READ OR HEARD SOMETHING CLOSE TO THIS WAS IN MILLS AND BOON NOVELS....I WISH I WAS IN YOUR SHOES RIGHT NOW....
IF HE WANTED YOU DOWN, HE WONT COME BACK.HE WON'T OFFER HELP.HE WONT BE BOTHERED.
LINDA I REPEAT CLEARLY; THIS IS YOUR HUSBAND. STEP ONE: TAKE NEXT FLIGHT TO NEWYORK...AT LEAST MEET HIM
AND HEY! THE GUY IS SO CUTEEEEE...
LINDAAAAAAA.....SO MANY PEOPLE WIL ADVISE YOU NOW...U GAT TO PRAY AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART....

Glad u're back may the good Lord strengthen you more.
Me I not fit sleep sef. He be like say person die.
All of you guys judging Linda. Several years ago I used to berate my married friends for abandoning their single friends. When I got married, I understood why that happened and t was not out of hate. I said the same to my friend that got really busy jobs until I was in their shoes and stopped picking my phone calls. Judge not...
And keep out!
You must be an auditor. I like your advice generally.
Wow.. so nice, Linda marry this guy please
MARRY HIM...
Lol,Linda I dey see wenn u finally marry dis guy inn d nearest future,dats if his not married yet sha,..i really TankGod for you,the storm is over buh nawa o

The Lord is ur strenght.
at the end the guy got noticed, Linda got moreccomments in two days and another site, the script ended and both of them drank wine and laugh ever after to d mumu comments and Bvs.

So happy to have u back..kept checking all day..even if u open Linda.rice nd beans..i will follow u dere..so much love lindodo..God is with u..He made u reach ds no 1 cn break u..
I was so shocked to hear d news of your blog take down, and now i'm happy you are back. God indeed watches out for His own. One of the good things that came out of this ordeal is that it's made u more popular. you've drawn new fan base as well.in every experience whether good or bad there is always a lesson to learn. let's all learn from this.

Forget story,he only taught you a lesson,nobody wey e no go pain,he really likes u,he's a big fan,If he's single,ask him out,marry him
Linda. Stay away from 'Aye Akamara Dee'. Nuff said!
Linda, am so glad to see u back.
I would have loved to send u a private message, but since u've already confessed that u don't read them so i'd give my piece here and do pray u'll see it.
Mr. Ayedee, to me is a big blessing in disguise, a God-sent in so many ways although so many will not see it that way.
Atimes, we tend to get so caught up in our world doing our own thing, and grossly immensed in our job and successes that we dont hear or see God directing us onto greater things and thus causing us to loose track or focus atimes ignoring or letting golden opportunities pass us by.
So i see it as God using this to get us to stop,or pause, draw our attention to His direction, re-focus, restrategize and like Mr. Ayedde rightly pointed out, you are already a great brand, with a big platform, so use it now, this is the time to hit it BIG babe.
Linda, there's no better time to go all out into proper Media/Entertainment Industry, hit the TV, the Radio, Web etc. Create great content like a TV Show (e.g could start with Your Mentor-ship Reality Tv show - 'I Will Rather Be Self Made' lol u already have gotten a name for it)
You've not done so badly, i love how u kept your cool throughout this horrible experience.
I'll keep praying for you, as you've always inspired me greatly, this also was a lovely eye opener for me as well, as i now make a commitment to take my business seriously, to be more passionate, more dedicated and diligent in my work and give it my best by being a professional also not forgetting to do the needful as at when due.
God bless u, Linda!
For those clamouring for Linda Ikeji's head over Plagiarism. This is Linda's opinion on how Google restores her blocked site. Quite revealing how a long existed relationship between her and one Mr AyeDee turned 'sour'. http://lindaikeji.blogspot.co.uk/…/between-linda-ikeji-and-…
Linda has however apologised to many infringed by her actions. Now Linda bounces back powerfully.
On behalf of members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists Europe Chapter, I wish Linda Ikeji more success.

I cried when I read this story I am a huge fan of Linda ikeji's blog but maybe not linda the person- simply because of the way she has portrayed herself on Media. But this story... I felt her shock and pain. It was so eerie how Mr aye dee was going to take her down just because she had seemingly grown wings. He's obviously a very intense person cos this same Him gave her woman of the year when he believed in her. All I can say is Linda watch out- this dude must be hurt that u posted this conversation and only God knows how he will respond.
Lol really liked your comment Samira
Exactly!
Linda, I don't ve anything against u, buh d story remains u don't bit d finger dt feed u, do u knw ao it feels 2 lose a friendship? Aye Dee went 2 far tryna bring u down, 1 way or d oda u both re @ fault, I'm a true supporter of ur work Linda, buh me I no b 1 of ds fans Wey go say sumtin bcoz I want it 2 pls u NOPE.... I just ponder wat d story wld ve been lyk if u both kept ur communication way back till date, u wld ve gone even farther than ds, don't fink u ve gotten 2 d limit Oooo, a friend of mine was tellin me wat ur story will b 10yrs 4rm now, he said #inhiswords# ds babe go rule ds country Ooooo hahahaha... I ve just a few more words 2 add, Linda keep ur head up high even in defeat, surround ursef wiv ppl Wu ve d same ideology as urs, nd above planet earth will b d beginning 4 u... remain blessed... I hope u post ma comment, wia Aye Dee will see it as well #justsaying#
Abi.... If he is single, u guys shld just get married....
Honey B
Why do I feel this is all made up? It's publicity stunt and it worked in your favour. Smart move.
This AyeDee guy is still the most loyal of her well wishers in my own opinion. He helped her build her blogging empire (she said so). He felt she scorned him (for lack of communication on her part. A genuine error). He reached out and came out clean about his actions, got the explanations and apologized for his actions and promised to help further. What else do people want? Misunderstandings are an integral part of human relationships. People should stop all these hate messages please. All these people talking hate now, how have they been able to help her like he did and still willing to do?
My thoughts exactly
Truth be told, Linda this guy meant well for you. He took your blog down, he restored it. I really felt for him after reading this thing. Personally I don't think this kind of person is somebody you should just forget or abandon like that. Pls he deserves a due apology from you.
Awww...wat a wonderful luv story😍
You've just said it all!
What's the problem with Nigerians and marriage!
Really took my time to read tru dis! N it was wort d while! Soo many lessons leant! As dy say wat dos'nt kills u make u stronger! U,ll com out stronger n beta! Hav neva bin soo addicted to a site lik dis one u've bin a source of inspiration to dis generatn keep up d gud work dear n evn d sky wil nt b ur limit!
The story sounds a bit too scripted 4 me. Ahh! The guy just probably liked u initially, shikena! There is a very thin line between love and hate. This isn't obsession or whatever u call it, this is just a frndshp gone sour. Wish u d best, and really do know how 2 keep in touch with contacts. Even politicians respect there selves and honour their godfathers at d end of the day. Make we no dey act like say tomorrow no dey! And he didn't do anything wrong, really. This is business. Shalom
Stealing people intellectual ideal and properties and you even proud and brag about it....you are evil and everybody now know all this is a scam!!! feeding fat on other people sweat, i wonder how you sleep at night!!
A Love Story... Aunty Linda, if you don't marry this Guy, i'll personally sue you to International Court *LoL*
Nollywood, should make a movie from this story, though if they have Brains Like Linda and MrAyeDee
Shit happens babe. I knew something else was going on. This is your stepping stone dear.fly babe
Congrats Linda. This is a simple case of a guy who loves you but it seems you got too busy for him. Well some people are melancholy and if need be can go to lengths to deal with you if they feel hurt by someone they thought cared. I guess it's not easy being you but God's grace and wisdom is profitable to direct. I had sent you a genuine SOS message before my mom died of cancer but got no response. Months after she passed away, i sent you a message asking about your ad fees and voila! instant response..lol. i will admit i felt pained but now i accept your apology. i know a lot of people may want to take advantage of you based on your status so you gotta beware. Protect your intellectual property, get your own domain and keep learning. The sky is your point of view. Bless!
Linda, when next you are in the United States, meet him and take photographs with him and post it here. The title for that post should be:'LINDA IKEJI FINALLY MEETS AYE DEE'. A hug and a peck for a start. You guys can take it from there. :-)
The guy even said you 'fashied' him. Chai! Lol. Too much love, abi na obsession, I guess he is a Nigerian or has a Nigeria connection, for him to use the word 'fashied'.
You are damn correct.
In conclusion, permit me to say that Mr.Aye Dee loves Linda to the moon & back. He loves and adores her, buh Linda careless to notice. Both should hook up eternally. Again, do not ignore your friends who helped you climb your success ladder.
I knew this guy is an old friend,well from the chat i think he thinks well of you. Just be careful
Linda I missed..... you oh to go online tire me sef because u weren't there. It is well
I can feel the sexual tension between Linda and Mr AyeDee, you guys should just hook up and end all this brouhaha
If someone loves you and your work so much that they done mind ridiculing themselves. That's someone you should take seriously.
Sit down.. talk... learn and consolidate that friendship
God cannot give you a challenge you would not be able to face. Truthfully I'm inspired by this. Simply because. It shows how deep love or friendship is. He didn't bring you down. He only made you stronger. God let his only Son be crucified. I feel he just tested you to make you stronger nothing else. People can only talk and criticize Mr AyeDee but only you Linda knows what you went through in this trying time and how it made you stronger and affected your life. You inspire me to never give up. Nd I'm happy your blog is back!! S.
Seems Mr Aye gat a crush on u oo Linda!
Wow,I love ur spirit dear,thumbs up
Wow,I love ur spirit dear,thumbs up,missed ur gist tho
Wow!
I'm speechless.
Is this guy real?
Can he be trusted?
Please be careful...
Wow!
I'm speechless.

Hello Linda
Its me again Anonmous October 10, 2014 at 4:35 PM, that wrote this below as part of my comment
" 2. Legal team so no asshole would fuck with you and if they do, your legal team would make them sleep with the fishes."
Now at the time I wrote that comment I had not fully read the story above. This is my thought on the conversation between you and Ayedee
1. There was absolutely no need to make this conversation public!!!!! He was there when you had nothing. He helped you grow your site. You both probably had some feelings for each other based on the tone of the conversation. He came back begging after all the harm he caused. These should have made you keep this transcrpt to your self, maybe he still loves you? if he sincerely does then its a good thing, because he was there from the start so you know he is not just there for a free lunch + he seems to be quite techy, God knows you need someone with that kind of skill. How can you throw that away? I would love to have someone techy like that to help me with my blog( P.S i'm a blogger too).
Now on the other side, if he really does not care about you and has just come back to get close to you in other to hurt you later, then keep him close too. Smart people keep friends close and enemies even closer. I'm not saying trust him with anything because he has actually lost the right to be trusted But you should have kept in close albiet casiously to see what he is really back for!
2. I begged you in my last comment to stop flaunting you wealth, I would also like to suggest you start leading a private life. Babes you are already a public figure. People would dig up stories about you anyways, so why must you share your private life? You are a brave one though and probably already hardened such that mean comments do not get to you anymore. But you must realise that whatever happens to you would affect people around you. So if you plan on getting married and having children and would like them to be shielded from all the drama and hate that comes with being in the limelight I would suggest you better start leaving some parts of your life private.
Takecare Babes.
Linda, I don see vision; na ur husband be this.
HOPE THIS WASN'T PLANNED..... JUST TO INCREASE YOUR FAN BASE
oh please,
dis guy obviously has a crush on u.... kiss n make up already puleaseeeee
hiya
Linda marry him. Together you will attain greater heights. Fact.
You need to sue this guy first though, show google this chats so no one trys to run you down in future carelessly. This sounds very childish, you need to get experts to help you with your big blog so you don't need this guy. Very weird
yes ooo she wil always conquer. wen eva i grab my fone to read frm net i always go linda's blog, dou i hardly comment, but am inspired by dis n wil learn appreciate ppl dat contribute to my success. welcom back lindalistic olololo.
Exactly u shouldn't ve post dis here Linda
so matured and right, what a lil p can cause, thank God for the greater good that erupted from this. it was sweet and romantic, i think you guys should date or somefin, hmm just saying tho.
linda that aye dee pr what is YOUR HUSBAND. MARRY HIM
My advice, don't trust this guy again and look for an IT expert to advice you on way forward. Get a foreign IT consultant. They will help you in dealing with similar issues in the future. You need to spend money to protect your business dear.
one thing y'all 4get to point out is how intelligent dat dude is Damn I envy dat guy..dats mere obsession tho n bottom line is Linda shud try to kip dat dude close if possible marry him...
Thank God u are back on track,how will I have been spending my days oh linda,men play lot of deceptive games,pls careful milady
watchout,this is just the begining
of count down to more success stories .....like your courage.. " i will continue to be a blogger as long as i have breath in me " Linda high high you go

i kinda like dis Aye dee guy.. He knew wat he needed to do afta d bruhaha on twitter and he did. That hw to know a real gee.. Always willing to apologize. Wish dem HML cos dia luv story will lead to marriage..
Well like he said is time to move on and let go of the past, the sky is your Limit, that's if you won't even have to go beyond the sky.
Forgive and move on but my very careful Linda
I am not being judgemental but I know you have learnt from this experience. If not for anything, you are believing God for a husband, and you never can tell who that person will be so endeavor to always acknowledge your mails or messages.... Attitude defines people. I am yet to meet you but I know I appreciate your person because you are very hardworking and tenacious, and I will be very excited to see you become a mother, but first a wife to a man that has the potentials to make you and your family attain greater heights and not to mar you. All the best Linda.
biko get a website,dont be ignorant
Hmm this guys is very dangerous, manipulative, and exhibits some traits of a psycopath, he stabbed you in the back and will do it again if he has the opportunity, dont be fooled by the sharp change in his attitude.
nollywood lool
This story long. I no fit read all.........the most important thing is that you won.....simple.......
OOW OW. NOW I FEEL FOR HIM MORE THAN I EVEN FEEL FOR LINDA. To me, that guy was only tyring to get you by his side. The only urgly thing there is just the way he executed it. But hey, that guy is the kind of guy you should have. Following you all these while and not given up? You should know that men also can be jealous, and when this happens dont feel bad. Mens jealousy is actuall just done out of bone of admiration, nothing else. I do think he seeks and will ever seek for you progress and success. And again, Linda you went to far to post the private chat you had with him here in puplic! Haba Linda consider now.... You should have handled this in another way like an Nkwerre lady. God can use things to fulfil his will anyhow and anytime.
get past it. He still reached awt. he helped. be grateful
wow..Linda, do you know u conquered because your heart was PURE..... continue dat way and u will see all ur enemies kissing ur feet at the end
God is definitely behind you Linda. Do not stop being prayerful
Dis is honestly wack just gald u are glad
No matter if some one searches for his required thing, thus he/she needs to be available that in detail, thus that thing is maintained over here.
Look at my web page: dieting
I can tell when I see true love. Linda, I'm a busy fellow and have no time to post a comment. Listen to this, generally guys are like babies especially the ones emotionally attracted to us. When they want our attention, they'll take a mountain down or even fly to Mecury. Mr Aye Dee isn't left out here, he's a baby, emotionally attracted to you, craving your attention but you pushed him away. I for one, do not see him as a hater rather your mentor and True Love.
Give love a chance. I feel it strongly between you two. It's high time my darling Linda.
Whatchya waiting for?
Mr Aye Dee come get your woman bro, no time wasting.
Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if
you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one?
Thanks a lot!
my web site Wczasy z psem
first of all I'd like to say that most comments made here are biased. there's nothing as painful as being forgotten and ignored by someone you went through tough times with, someone u stood by and literally made what they turned out to be. Linda forgot the MOST important thing- HONOR TO WHOM IT WAS DUE. He did the only thing that could possibly get her attention and it worked. from Linda's tone, she sounds offended and betrayed forgetting its a two way thing. you both hurt each other. believe me Linda, you owe this guy. Aye was your rock and still is.
