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

emails my goodness

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

going to be an icon for decades to come
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
info: after I read the post from
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

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

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

outcome of this discussion to be?
me: thank God i was

me: my goodness

info: A day is a long
time in politics

info: some of them are all business
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

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

info: Lol did you forget?
me: so what do u want me

info: @LindaIkeji &
I had an avoidable misunderstanding, it's now been resolved , & our
relationship is back to 1 of mutual respect & admiration.

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

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 1601 – 1800 of 2144 Newer› Newest»i wonder if people think before posting anything on here. The guy has done nothing wrong. You don't have to desert your friends because of fame but it is still good you have your blog back.
Wow is the word...Good to have you back...this will make you stronger, pls take all in good faith.
This guy now puts google in the middle!
Hmmmm, you guys have dated way back and here you are complaining about getting older with a man, go back and make mends with him is obvious he is in love with you. You have trust issh mehn. You are lucky he only came after your blog, what if he had come after you?
Linda, keep your head up.
The did has been done. You may have had a friendship with this man, but best believe, it does not exist anymore. U have come a long way now and it's only life thay u loose and win some. Pls be wise though, Alec has pulled you down in order to get back in your life like you said and also out of envy (fact). He now wants to make you vulnerable by giving him power over you, if you allow him control your blog, it will give him a sense of control over you and all u have worked for which is what he wants. Dont allow it! You have the money and network to get a proper reputable, solid IT team you need to advice and build up your business. Alex shouldnt be the one to. Seek proffessionals and have a solid legal team. You are not just a blogger anymore, you have an empire now which u need to protect and lift up! So i suggest u reject all his offers to help u. Dont make him make you weak cause u are not. Accept his 'apology' and move on along, cut him off. You dont need him.
You'll do well, God will support u.
The guy is too jealous and doesn't know how to toast a woman.
Never go close to the guy again. He will still hurt you tomorrow if things go wrong between two of you.
Alloy tru talk...
Me gan don send am mail she no dey respond
Other bloggers respond bt u dont
Anyways its a lesson for all
The discarded stone con turn to baba nla pillar wey block pesin lol
Congrats! I see love in all of this.
The Lord is ur strength cos for someone dat u have not met in person to do such a thing then u sold be glad dat u are a force to reckon wit. Keep up the good work. Didn't know where else to turn to wen ur blog was removed. Really glad u are back.
Happy for you too Linda. Rooting for you always! Nuffin will keep you down
indeed a lesson,glad u are back miss u so much dear.
All we nid 2 succeed in life is jst a guardian angel 2 lid us thru our difficult journeys. Am so hapi Linda is damn on track back n better...dis's a typical example of a blessing in disguise.! I love Linda so very much, bcos dis lady inspires me a lot....I draw inspiration dat I can make it n hit it real big weneva issues like dis come up knowing she's a strong woman... To d #MrAyeDee Guy, thumbz up dude!!! Sometimes wen we think we're falling is wen we r about to rise up wiser n more stronger dan ever...
Hmmm, dis is a real story indeed.
The fact is I think Linda is a typical girl just like every other girl out there! Run to guys when they need assistance n then forget them when everything is all rosey! Paint urself to b the victim all u want but I tell it like i see it and I think d truth my darling is that "FAME GOT INTO YOUR HEAD" n u forgot ur friend who helped u n was there 4 u all along but when u felt like u had arrived n didnt need his help anymore, u never one day remembered to check on him! So not cool honestly! Friends dont do that to friends! Pls learn from this and try not to do it to anybody again! Welcome back!
Hmmm, dis is a real story indeed.
Thank goodness that my sweetheart Linda Ikeji is back, had to go through the whole story around 2am even though i don't joke with my sleep, at one point i felt you were snob, sent you an email without getting any reply but is okay, now we know better, LIB readers get ready as Linda will be getting married soon to Aye Dee, that guy is so in love with Linda...
That guy is an evil competitor. Its likely he's on drugs. I can see double personality here. Watchout
Thank God you are back. I know you will but watch your back with your "friend".
My advice for u is to stop plagiarising, I have said this so many times on ur blog and u never hid to correction rather u won't post ma comment. Am happy google did this to u, u can't say u are daft or dumb or u don't know jack shit to the extend of stealing another person's work and mk it urs. Plagiarism is a big and huge offence even though u didn't school abroad like me buh now u know and this is a lesson for u, plus stop showing off what pple have used in the past rather keep ur life in secret u will achieve more and focus on getting married and having ur kids cos u don't have a good body rather ur face is beginning to wrinkle, also don't say this and that isn't married so u should be less concerned about urs. Focus and pray on ur life and always wish urself the very best. This is a huge lesson for u and trust me incase u don't know google don't warn twice, if such thing happens again u are GONE FOR GOOD. Thank God u bk and I wish u the very best. Bless!
P.S: ain't expecting u to post my comment as usual buh just read, let it assimilate and understand for ur own very good, Peace!
As much i missed this site while it was down. Linda did distort the truth as to why her blog was being targeted by whoever. Her previous story seemed like an attempt to draw sympathy towards herself. She made it seem like she was an innocent victim of jealousy. I just hope the story does not change does not change again. I dnt really care about all this now as its a personal matter and there are always two sides to every story. Im just glad the best Nigerian blog is back up and thats all i care about.
Trust the naive fools here to tell you this evil man is the love of your life for trying to screw you over. He's jealous of your success. If you were still that faceless blogger on the Internet that only he recognizes with his corny awards, he wouldn't give a damn that you ignore his emails. When you became wealthy, he felt that he made you and entitled to bring you down. Don't trust this creep who wanted to snatch your bread and butter.
Wow! Just wow!! Who God has blessed,no man can curse. Awon aye! Smhh. The people we call friends..God give us the spirit to discern. Na wah!
I don't care about the personal or emotional side of Linda Ikeji or Ayo Dee. I dont care about who Ayo Dee is or what Linda is up to. What i care about is that 'If there has ever been an atom of plagiarism on Linda's work, please tell her to write an open letter of apology not to Ayo but to everyone she seems to have inspired, plagiarism is as worse as a politician stealing our funds. We shouldn't allow distractions of Ayo Dee integrity issues to sweep it out. Plagiarism has crippled our academic institutions. Like I said 'if' trully Linda has plagiarised pls I know it might be hard for her to do. But you need to apologise openly to all your fans. Just like she dedicated a whole article to Ayo Dee. For the last time 'if' she has plagiarised , she should not sweep it off with other distraction. She should apologise with articles on different blogs and newspaper
We should all learn from this post, when you have a friend that loves what you do and wishes you well, don't ever ignore them no matter what. Common HELLO would have solved this issue long before now. And for other"BLOGGERS" i hope you all enjoyed your one day unexpected traffic yesterday. LInda, good to see you back. On a second thought.....this whole thing might be a scam o!!! But it's okay all na business strategy and is better than stealing money with ghana must go bag. If you like don't post it, i know who to call @ mr. Aye Dee @lol. Cheers!
Hi Linda,
I am so happy for you, I am not an official LIB reader but i am an LIB reader.
I prayed for you and I thank God that he sorted you out.
God bless u
Nice to have you back Linda.Is that guy in love with u????? Watch your back though.
Mnh! Infact d whole saga is just like a home video.well,Linda i told yu earlier dt yu will conquer
Welcome back Linda. Missed you!
God will never forsake u. U make us all happy and u shall never know sadness.
Welcome back Linda. Missed you!
Welcome back Linda. Missed you!
Congrats Linda, good to have you back. I missed you a lot. As for the both of you, you two have a connection that is beyond this post. It's either he did it for publicity and make you popular or get your attention after trying to reach out to you. Either way you win. I hope he sincerely loves you but if not, we love you and are praying for you. After all, #WeareNigerians, #WebondasFamily. Huggs and Kisses.
Well well well, I can see some emotional comments above about getting married. Hmm, how do u marry someone you can't trust, someone this dangerous and vindictive. Lindaikeji, forgive him but be wiser and prayerful as you move to the next phase of your life.
PS: No post another long blog for the rest of the year o, abeg we get work, no b blog them say make person dey read.
Happy to you Linda! thanks for share
By the way, is Alex married?
Linda, many people here want you to get hooked to this dude. The questions: Linda, are ready to marry him? Lol.
He wanted your attention, you ignored him, now he got it.
My thought: I think he went too far, trying to get your attention. Stalking is a criminal offense. There is something not RIGHT about this guy. If I were you l wouldn't want to be alone with him for one minute. I smell DANGER, no what what many people here think. I know it hurts to be ignored but what he did is CRIMINAL! I think Google should call in the police.
Next time,learn how to hide your progress and open a direct communication with your God.Posting an SUV is the genesis of all this hate,remember you said your DAD has been warning you not to acquire it,What an old man see while sleeping,no matter how reach you are,you will never see it on the mountain,continue posting cars.This is just a lesson for u.
Best comment!
Linda neva tel u d whole truth. Dis is luv story gone sour. Hw can u use d guy and dump him lik dat? U tuk away d fone Sex he used to enjoy wht do u expect? May una two jst go marry already! If u lik no post Linda but I tink am entitled to my opinion & u've read it
Hi Linda am happy ur back, i don't know if u got my massage which i sent through ur facebook acct in Igbo language infact i sent friend request i was told u can't accept more friends cous ur acct is full. Nice to see Lindaikeji blog back.
Linda Ikeji...RUN!!! Alex is not your friend, but your enemy. If he can do this then he's capable of doing more. You dont dine with the enemy, whatever offer he has REJECT! Be wise!
No, actually he made her more a global phenomenon. This dude never wanted to harm Linda. He just wanted shake her to notice him, to break and mend her without no harm. He already figured way out for linda before shaking her. I think he loves linda, cos linda is pure hearted, handworking and sweet.
am happy u r back.
This made me cry for real...What a world and I still think nothing is ever the way it seems...Everyday we learn n after we must have learned something else still awaits us...I'm happy this part was shared you two have really given so many a food for thought and personally I will always re-read this post when I feel everything is going wrong I know a change awaits n so also every mistake can be corrected...Linda please forgive this guy he just might not be guilty as many and me will think...THAT's LIFE N ITS MYSTERIES
Wow!i lack words to say.....but all thanks to God,who has a way of turning disappointments to blessings!
Pls hold notin against him nd no body!! D devil tried to use him but God turned it around nd it became like a publicity stunt for u as ua now moooooorrrreeee popular.God keep u long live lib!!!!
blood of Jesus!!!! who go read all this????? welcome back love. a word of advise linda, pls dont stoop low to marry a guy u r richer than in the name of marriage or love!!!! this r the kind of tins that happens wen u do!! much love
and u linda is it when you shw ur rangerover spot or the amout u spend in shopping that makes u successful,at times when i look at ur instagram page it really shw ur mind and what success really mean to u and ur family, u shout it all frm ur sister to ur brother even when u talk about your dad, at ur age u just don't need that, face your work protect it,get a backup if possible everyday,don't say thing that u ain't sure of, do u knw d number of marriage u,ve broken with ur aproko!!!!!hmmmm change the game without announcing to us all
Linda Ikeji...RUN!!! Alex is not your friend, but your enemy. If he can do this then he's capable of doing more. You dont dine with the enemy, whatever offer he has REJECT! Be wise!
But a part of me still think that this is Publicity Stunt.
So in a nutshell, you this was all a publicity stunt from both of you. And don't u pretend you didn't know cos u did. It just shows you can do anything for publicity. Are you hat desperate? If you like you post,at least you've read it. Oshisco
Linda, you have proved that you lack maturity.
This guy has the right amount of guilt and knowledge to take you to heights you never imagined. You are not a big dreammer and its obvious you lack basic PR sense.
I cringed as I read the chats you posted. Come on girl, really? Don't you know you can't mix business with your emotions.
You really need to redeem yourself and know how to decipher sycophancy from intelligent concern. There's no doubt the guy acted somewhat inappropriately but you gave him the ammunition and you now want to act completely innocent. You never took a second to see things from his perspective.
He felt slighted by you and yes you did ignore him after he helped you. You used him and dumped him and then he's seeing you grow? You think people who knew he helped you did not laugh at him? And its pretty obvious your relationship had romantic undertones. The guy obviously respected you and had some feelings for you but because you are all about the money you just let a potential life partner go. So when he was pressured by his partners to do what was actually the right thing his pride followed suit. He's human. Be careful how you treat the people you think you no longer need.
And btw I refuse to believe that your father was ok with you posting that story. There was no wisdom there at all. Kelly S.
welcome back Linda, dis ayee guy is a very big fool, so because babe not reply his message he had to bring u down. he is a back stabbing monster, he suld keep all his fake prayers to himself, all dis foolish halfcast fools. its people like dis that go to hell. he made a whole me miss checkin ur blogg on a working day morning. when i read ur blogg at work in the morning, it relives me of alot of stress and tension am planning to get from my boss that day... may he countinue to have stress in his life....foolish idiot... Linda jes pray i dont catch him cuz if i do he is deAD, HE JES WANTS CHEAP ATTENTION BASTARD
Linda, Lindsway, Liindodo, ma crush, norrin do u. Just know ds guy luvs u. U 2 shud hook up. Babe, g8 married na.
This isn't love, this is obsession. Obsession is DANGEROUS. Linda, be care of this guy, BE VERY CAREFUL.
The news came as a shock and thank God it's all over. You have conquer and you will forever do. But don't you think it's time to move to a paid blog and redirrect this blog to you new domain.
Within the space of a year, all your readers will have the new domain in their head.
With an hosted domain of yours, if you have issues with host company, you can simply migrate to another unlike blogger where one lose it all.
Now it's time to grow and take this as a biz and not just for fun.
Keep winning linda.
We all love you (speaking for myself though)
@Linda...II rarely post comments on this blog but to say the least, this story got really deep to me. I haven't still recovered! This is some real shit - Real obsession.
Judging the my experience in the media field, this just reeks of a "publicity stunt". Just my two cents.
When I read it on a blogsite about the closure of your blog, I felt bad. I am happy you are back. Hate those who love you, wish them well when they wish you bad. Remember, in life anything can happen but NOBODY IS ANYBODY'S GOD, IF ONE WAY CLOSES, ANOTHER WILL OPEN. If they say you flaunt things, sincerely, be careful. Extend my greetings to my paddy EDNA,she has been of help. ANDY ANDREW
Nothing like "cousin brother" abeg!
Wow I haven't seen a love story like dis In 4eva...lindi-loo baby dis man is ur man...from what we all have read d love has been dere since d out-set...nd seems to me d@ with him by ur side ur suv is indeed ur starting point...linli-loo accept his apology nd every inch of him cuz he is indeed crazy abt u

Yesooo in Tuface voice, Mumu Linda you need to disengage yourself from google.... for the good of your career. meanwhile Mr Aye Dee did the right thing you dont actually bite fingers that feeds you... Gbam!!!! welcome back no.100 Fan...Jeyz
Judging from my experience in the media field, this just reeks of a "publicity stunt". Just my two cents.
Congrats lindy baby welcum back, I ve missed ur post in d last 24hrs, I'm nt Addicted 2 u bt can't stop Masef frm readin every of ur post everyday.

I knew you were coming back, welcome back dear. Its well dear.
U'RE WELCOME BACK, REMAIN BLESS
Hello sweety. Dont worry, the Lord will vindicate you from the hands of your enemies. Those enemies are not just enemies, they are envious of your achievements, I am really challenged looking at your achievements. I wish I can be like you. Most importantly, you must still be careful with this guy.
linda ds is ur husband if he isn't married yet. I pray dt God ll open ur eyes to d truth. luv u loads!
Deep sigh!
Welcome back Love!
hmmmmm...another gimmick for popularity i think... what ever it is sha you are made so relax.
Glad u r back baby.. God is strongly behind u. no shaking!! no shakin nd long live LIB
Hell has no fury like a (wo)MAN scorned. There is a THIN line between LOVE & HATE.
These are 2 lessons from this drama.
More importantly, the guy LOVES you. Happy Married life
Linda pls be very careful of this dude.He believe he has made u and can destroy you at will. #BeWise
Linda you really meesed up tho. Forget your silly pride for a second and consider this.
You bruise the pride of a man you call your anchor. He gets ridiculed for all the free assistance he has been giving you.
He is pressured by his partners to treat their business like a business because you appeared to be treating him like a business.
He tows the legal and goes the extra mile as his feelings were hurt.
He regrets his actions and redeems himself by geting google to re-open your blog.
He apologises publicly and privately. Even giving you tips on how to improve your blog.
You ridicule him publicly!
You have learnt nothing from all this!!!!!!
This was an opportunity for you to change your charater but you are so fixated on money and success you forgot that happiness is a far better deal.
Thank you. Bless u for this comment. I also thot it immature.
Wow! I can feel how sober he is and he sounds real, I wish you guys can be as good as before, in life shit happens so we'll learn, sometimes I wish I have time for everybody but it's difficult, welcome back Linda. Wish I can say all I wanna say
I sincerely think it is an act of arrogance/rudeness to ignore emails.
Congrats Linda, but don't let me hear that u are single and searching again oh, u just found Mr Right, so don't lose his contact again and change your status to "SINGLE BUT NOT SEARCHING" and u must invite me to your wedding, The guy is really in love with you.....SEYI
Me too....
Linda, it is either you hook up with this guy or have a working relationship with him. You said it urself (at leastthe part i managed to read) that he's got ur back. This is the kind of people u want in your (IT) team.
Ode
publishing everything u guys discussed was uncalled for. see him as true friend. he deserves ur attention
This is super serious, trust no one and always be prayerful. You've got plenty enemies ooo
I left a comment on your website...I told you to RUN from this Aye Dee dude. If he can bring you down because he wrongly thought you ignored him, what will you do if you two argue??
He's a SOCIOPATH, and manipulative on a very high level.
All this drama made me realize how much I value LIB. I've never defended something that wasn't God or my family so much in my life! #LIBForever
Kimmy*****
The first part of your comment is the wisest thing on here....yeah...Linda forgot the guy and he felt ignored and flipped...how come in more than a year you never remembered someone that mentored you and helped u so much...
It's a lesson to us all...sometimes, it's good to just reach out to old friends once in a while, even if it's during festive periods and say hello..
Lindyway, i'm rily am happy for u, like he said, its a setback to bouncebak berra n stronger.... well he reached out d wrong way, I can imagine ow u felt, buh tats God's way of telling u, he'll neva let u down. Just comtinuue to b grateful to him. All d best.... b4 I forget, my cousin was d 1 staring @ u @ d airport on ur way bk to Ngr frm Dubai (ur last trip I guess)wen u had to cover ur dad. Am sure u remembered. Well she said she wz too dumpfounded to say hello, she didnt figure out on time twas u. IG:Freshystel
hi Linda,thank God for what happened.it has taught you a lesson.all your fans have learnt from this as well.your competition has also learnt a lot as they have started giving credit as well.dont be deterred.this guy felt scorned that's why he did all of this.be careful with him from now on.never seek his advice again and always document whatever chat you have with him.employ professionals to help you do your work.this is your livelihood.employ an it expert even if you have to pay a lot in order to safeguard your blog.you rock girl.i said a prayer for you.am sure others did as well.welcome back.Z'HARB.
Linda! I no say u no go gree date me cos u old pass me well well lol but omo mehn, I dey feel you dieeeee...U r a real blogger! God_punish_ur_haters
so happy for you linda, but plss dont trust dis guy, sometin dosnt feel right here. He has seen that he cant stop ur shine, so he wanna mask as a friend.
Glad to know u are back and I like ur forgiving spirit its always the winner;
hapy for u
Thank God the one who set you up came out fast before all the haters made wrong conclusions. you are such a strong and determined lady. God bless your efforts. you should throw a party for LIB readers. lol.
Honestly I thought so too .. Y give him the ammunition? Surround yourselves with wise people and listen to only wise counsel not drama ones ...
Dat guy na mumu
That's how I saw it too..the guy obviously misunderstood and so allowed real haters to use him but it's obvious that he genuinely wishes her well, otherwise, he never would revealed himself
Linda too got wrapped up in her wealthy lifestyle and forgot a good friend who was a great help
It's a big lesson
Well Linda, I am sure you have learnt your lesson. I know you sell gossip but I still think there was no need to publish the whole conversation. payback is not the ideal way to handle issues. I have a lot of respect for you but always reconsider counsels before you act on them, the loudest might not necessarily be the best.
Shebi u refuse to post ma comment???? Anyways u two luk good tgeda ma darl...take ur hand advice urself!!
So linda was into blind dating. Mr Aye Dee fantasied about screwing you so much I bet he must have masturbated to your pictures. I hope you didn't share nudes with him sha
Life is really a bitch... jes glad u are back tho'. God help us all
OMG! So happy you are back. God bless you even more and this my first comment here dear and I wish you all the best. Between, Mr Aye DEE should continue to be your friend.....and I loved your responses, thought it was matured. WELCOME BACK SISTER!
Life is really a bitch... jes glad u are back tho'. God help us all
Mr.Aye Dee is a genius in IT,buh linda was favoured by God to make money from IT.buh linda always give him is credit men will be men,no matter how successful a woman has gone there is a man behind it start..check your history.
Welcome back Linda i missed your blog
Well, I don't blame AY Dee. The dude has to take care of business. You don't neglect those who help you achieve success after becoming successful. I hope you realise that the guy had helped you more than you could imagine. He's not your enemy, he just had to take care of business. You don't bite the finger that feeds you. I hope you know that.
You her highly lifted nobody can bring u down
You have conquer
i'm glad you're back linda.. God Bless You!!
God is about to move you to another level. He just wanted to use this "episode" to let you depend more on Him in this new phase and not on any man (who can turn around to bite you in the ass in future).
I am just glad all this buhaha is all over.
My day is never complete until I go through your blog.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Welcome back dearie much MISSES!!!
Not for once av I visited ur site....cos its nt my type. But dis Mr aydee or woteva just made u more popular. U shud b grateful to him. He is a blessing in disguise......God won't take such ppl away from u....let me here u say Amen
I'm exceedingly happy ur back. Been opening and reopening ur app on my phone, willing it to hv a new story, even though I knew u had been blocked. Can't tell u how happy I am to see a new post.
Welcome back.
For all the other LIBers, yes d story with Aye Dee was a bit too personal for blogging, but wouldnt everyone say said it was a joint PR plot if she did not post it and clear her name?
He went all the way, for google to take him seriously.
Now, She has to go all the way for her readers to know she's sincere and not playing games.
Long live LIB.
I hope you won't be stupid enough to believe he wanted to help you. His actions were vindictive, he Probably did something that backfired and came to confess quick to redeem himself. He's a weird dude with a mental problem. Smh
Yeah we get it. Personally i think your fans are behind you all the way. But this guy comes to confess to you in private and you go ahead to show the world your private discussion just to prove your innocence. I think its uncalled for, you should have kept it private and just tell your fans that you have resolved the case with the Mr aye.
Am happy for u dear Linda! God will continue to expose & shame our enemies IJN! Ride on, girl! U re blessed!
I felt like i was reading a thriller novel.
Very disturbing and chilling.
Was I the only one that noticed some very disturbing undertones in the chat?
Don't stop praying Linda, and please be more careful.
I am truly disturbed by this guy.
God be with you.
Nice lesson Linda.
Somehow i believe your mentor
You are getting back bigger and better.
I negelected my official duties to read the whole story inbetween responding to emails and answering calls, I made sure I finished it.
Best advice from me....meet up with this guy and marry him! God used him to show you challenges that can come your way and how well it hurt by using a dear one as a control. And he still stood by you and did not care about the shame/bad name it will bring him for what he has done. I see someone that cares and is passionate about you and your success although blinded by his emotions and made rash judgements through them. I see a human being (not sure some of your fans would have done any better if put in the same position). He accepted his wrongdoing, asked for forgiveness and I want to believe you did forgive him. Those are the three steps to repentance as is in the bible. Moreso, he could have hidden behind the name you did not know him through and pretend he did not know about it. Remember the devil you know is far better than the angel you just met. Finally, what does not kill you only makes you stronger!
Marry the dude! (afterall he's good-lookin...lol)
Wish you the best!
read all comment was so disappointed in lib reader if u are in d guy shoe u wil d worst anyhw linda pride nt pay never 4get told he help u up becau d can bring u down or talk u more higher GOD just him to pass a messege across.to u.gal so just take d correction and knw it u were so wrng postin dis just knw dat dere was no ned 4 dat
Congrats Linda. I am so happy you are back.
Eaxctly!!!! He only confessed to redeem himself. He must have done something that backfired or didn't workout and he decided to come clean to avoid trouble
well hope u have done ur back up? I think u need that guy in ur life. We all need a bad nigga to sort things out from time to time. U will learn a thing or two from him. keep him close biko. Meanwhile this could be a love story in making Linda.. *wink *wink. and hes a cutie girl, think abt it.
congrats Linda am really happy for you.
It's indeed a shocking n speechless story! Linda u are meant to be great n non of anybody's plans wld bring u down for real. It's was everywhere and that's how everyone missed u and U know wat? That's how great u are, although some friendEnemies would be happy with d short down but everyone missed U, weda to come n check wat the stupid Linda posted or to come check d real happenings...We all missd u,,, the good thing is that u bounced back, it how great God has made u! Be extremely careful with the Aye guy that's all I have to say, he really went to far and I wonder th kind of sweet talk that wld mend that...FORGIVE HIM BUT DONT TRUST HIM!!!
This very long conservation between you and Aye Dee is really too revealing!It has shown Nigerians that the news of plagiarism was really not the issue but Aye Dee through his array of partners made his point to somehow teach you a BIG Lesson in a very HARD Way i can say.Be that as it may like Aye Dee I also believe you will bounce back in Hundred fold.You have now known your enemies and your friends as Nigerian tabloids,on line news,social networks etc have been FULL of Your story,the Good,The Bad and the Ugly/PLAGIARISM of Linda Ikeji.Please create time to reply emails,chats or SMS of some people who really contributed one way or the other in your life.Please employ more hands to attend to your hundreds of mails daily to avoid the recurrence of this type of situation which constructive critics like us can term BLESSING in Disguise. Congratulations and please bounce back in Hundred Folds.The Lord is your strength.
It must be said that this Aye Dee guy is a serious blessing to u. Yes he was a bit mean, but the world is a mean place. Imagine the absolute mayhem he could hv created if he was still on that warpath.
Thank God for his blessings.
Keep him as your friend, but pls forget how fine he is and pls don't date or marry him.
Ask Perez Hilton and other top bloggers who does their computer things and co. Get the best in each industry, PR, taxation, backups, image, billings e.t.c and PAY for their services. Don't rely on a 'friend' to help u.
Private jet is the least thing you would own, if u do this right.
God bless u forever.
Lesson 1: Don't bite the finger that fed u.
Lesson 2: there i a thin line between love and hate.
Lesson 3: Husband don come be that, This Guy loves u and this is true love.
No one can take my linda down. Fk em all backstabers. Mr so.called-aye-or-whatever! Bla bla bla...grr
linda am so happy 4 u....was scared initially that ur blog was no more.....pipo are even crucifying me 4 patronizing u....laughing at me that ur blog is closed.....now its my turn to lash back at them haterz
The guy is dumb.... in this age and time there are 1001 ways to reachout to ppl. Anyway Linda ride on the sky is your limit.
This is a really good man, mislead by his thoughts and friends. But then he followed his heart at the end of the day, and was not wrong.........Linda this guy go soon propose o!!!
I see it coming. GO and Pray o!
On second thought. Linda, i wouldn't be surprised if he proposed to u. We ll see..
Ayo Dee wld be insane to pursue any form of relationship or contact with Linda after this.
Linda has just shown us why she has no man. You lack basic female wisdom. Never f**k with a man's pride. Mark my words, Linda you won't even know yourself when you start chasing the guy for love.
Linda missed you and glad you are back. Aye may have handled things wrongly but I don't think you should have published the chats. He could have made a good friend that would have helped you. What he did showed he has a good heart. And face it, you scorned a good friend too. Really hope you guys can put this behind and move on.
This is the kind of guy I have been praying to God for. He is intelligent, good looking, caring, sensitive, remorseful and open hearted.
Girls like Linda will stay single for life and think its becos men are intimidated by them.
@lindaikeji didn't know Alex 1976AD was @MrAyedee, why did the chat screen grabs have Aye Dee instead of the supposed long lost Alex?
We need an answer plzzzzz!!!!!!!!
hmmmm,and i was suspecting bonario or wateva he's called.
Congrats Linda.
What doesn't kill only makes you stronger.
Whether you believe it or not your name is now a brand that must be protected!
Get a logo with your name and register a trademark and the necessaries! If not someone will do it for you and pls stay away from this guy. He is not your friend.
Linda, you ignore emails because you are so occupied with yourself. Your readers made this blog what is it today. Show respect!
Dear Linda
this very long conversation between you and Aye Dee is really too revealing!It has shown Nigerians that the news of plagiarism was really not the issue but Aye Dee through his array of partners made his point to you somehow to teach you a BIG Lesson even though in a very HARD Way i can say!.Be that as it may like Aye Dee himself,I also believe you will bounce back in Hundred folds.You have now known where the mistake comes from and you definitely must work against further occurrence again in future.Your creativity and ability to adapt to critical situation is legendary.I wish you many more success and break through in this your chosen field of human endeavor.Please do move on because I know God being on your side you must definitely overcome!
Glad its over nw, the lessons has been learned..to my personal view that dude is a God sent, despite his shortcomings, we'll are human and we have flaws..i wish u the best of luck and i also shout a loud Amen to his prophetic prayers on u..
Linda thank God you're back, please forgive him, he just kinda loved you too much in the wrong way... forgive for yourself, he does care about you.
LINDA IT WAS STILL OVER COPYRIGHT. Cus if not, your blog would not have been pulled down. Call a spade a spade
So I was wandering what I will be doing with the 3GB my company gives me and the 10GB extra I do just to stay connected, I was so sad cos I know that if there is no more LIB what else will I do with my remaining data?i may not always comment but I am also reading and having a good time here on LIB. Thank Goodness u are back and oh yes I prayed 4 you and it's true God answers prayers. Despite the fact that u did not approve my comment on the Mikel Obi post probably because of my name u think he will notice me from ur blog here abi? Cos him the read am, well all na joke sha na just name
Love is some messed up shit I must confess. It's nice to have you back though, and know you've learned some lessons.
Aydee is your friend either way and of tremendous help to you, so please don't lose him.
Can't wait for my positive changes in your site :)
Welcome back Linda, these are some of the challenges we face in hustling. I think there are some lessons to be drawn from all this.
1). Your blog is no longer small you need to expand by hiring a team of writers as you are doing now
2). Always keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.
3). I don't think it was wise for you to publish your private chat with Mr Aye - you are compounding issues
4. Register your own domain name and treat Linda Ikeji blog as a brand and business.
God bless you
Thank God for this episode in ur life Linda. It really helped u sieve out the good from bad. I'm soooooo proud of u, u know and maybe Mr Aye Dee was right, u will come out stronger definitely.
Hope u know the whole world has been talking about u since this episode. U close to becoming our own African Oprah, better still the brand Linda Ikeji!!!
God bless u dear. Please put ur house together. Get Lawyers, PR Reps, etc. U won't stop at 2014 Range Rover, so protect urself so that when ur private jet comes, the bad belle people won't be able able to steal ur hustle.
As for ur relationship with Mr Aye Dee, please be careful. If he really had good intentions he went about it terribly. But well it's all up to u now!
Lotsa hugs Dearie. I ABSOLUTELY Believe In You.

nd linda did nt post my replies
linda the guy is a really nice guy pls dont hate him for this and always try as much as possible to always reply ur mails
This guy actually pointed out a point about backing up the blog and stuff.
Http://zubysnook.com
My dear linda, I'm so happy for you. Thank God you are back cos I really prayed for you. What I think is that the guy really loves you and he wants a relationship with you at a deeper level. He's good looking and also a blogger and seems to be a computer scientist too. so you guys can work together to make your brand bigger. The only thing I can't tell now is if the guy loves you for who you are or for what you are. So he could be your husband or your employee.
I call on all GOOD NIGERIANS to bombard jsantos55677@gmail.com with an email requesting this person to release the domain name www dot lindaikeji dot com to Linda Ikeji's Blog within the next 24 hours or be ready for a global campaign against him.
Share this on your walls till we get the required results! Thanks

From the onset I have always known there was more to
the Linda ikeji saga than meets the eye. People do get
busy, I always say, and when they do, thay barely have
time for chatty conversations online. I Knew this had
nothing to do with plagiarism or the fact that she
hasn't opened an independent website by now. From
her previous explanation of her own side of the story, it
was clear that tHe guy had tried several ways to bring
her down, and plagiarism was his last resort. Little did
we know He was just some guy who assumed a busy
woman to be ignoring him Co's she was now "big".
Fact is, let us face it, if actually she committed
plagiarism, who hasn't? Some of you writers are
criticizing her yet you download music and movies
inlegally online for free, or you don't think that is a
crime too? Or u think the feeling of getting ripped off is
only felt by writers? Everyone in the creative industry
feels that way too, But if you want to fight the war
against piracy and plagiarism, you must go all the way
and not be double standard about it. Designers spy on
other designers work to create theirs ( I know of a big
name who does that Alot ) n they er pointing fingers at
Linda? Photographers too, they have to Tif and spy to
have an idea of what they want to do, and don't get me
started on musicians, p square and Co, Abegi, we are
all guilty of plagiarism and piracy, so technically it's
not even in your place to judge, and that includes Mr
AYee Dee.
Plhelp me ask Linda o, if you go on Twitter mrayedee is saying something else entirely, dont know who to blv again, dear linda dont play dirty games o
This guy please shut up !!! How many times would you comment ? It's getting irritating . We also love linda abi nah only you waka come ?
I really thank God for you,i dont comment regularly,but,it pained me to see you suffer,
God dey,
Thank God u r back,so happy
LINDA. LINDA LINDA. CUT DAT NIGGA OFF. HES A FUKN PARASITE/FRENEMY. THIS IS NOT WHAT FRIENDS DO OH. BLACKMAILING UR SOURCE OF LIVELOHOOD WHO D FK DOES THAT!?? SUCH BLACKMAIL HAS GOT A LOT OF PPL HURT. I SAY CUT THIS NIGGA OFF. HE IS NOT UR FRIEND. LET HIM INSIDE UR CIRCLE AT UR RISK.
One last thing, I feel you should take down this post because it is making you look desperate and leaving you as a looser. It is making you look like someone that can’t keep privacy in times of trial and remember you are still a young pretty girl that is not yet married.
Don’t bother about the truth of the story. People don’t really need to know the truth of the story. Your success later will tell more truth than your failure.
I love you Linda and I wish I could talk to you privately I would have told you more about this post.
Wow! This really left me speechless! Wow! Great lessons learnt! But i'll still advice you dine with the guy with a very long spoon... If he can do this once, throwing away all the years of your friendship & willing to destroy what he helped build within the twinkle of an eye, he can definitely do it again!
I'm so glad you're back up! Trust you've learnt some vital lessons! Godspeed!
you olodo no b for here!
Linda there is more coming. This comes with success. Just watch your back and be careful.
Welcome back Linda just an advise stay focused this is a step to the mountain top.
Linda!Im happy you are back.
@lindaikeji do not forget the nature of your business .. it is all about gossip . Everything he does is for your good...
welcome back Linda just stay focused as the is a step to the mountain top.
Forgive and forget. He is still a friend that really meant no harm but was used by people who are jealous of u. At least he reached out to u for d last tym just to see. Cool love story
Happy ds whole issue is over, welcome back
All is well dear,,,,,,ur best is yet to come just sit tyte ok
Same problem I have always had with Linda, although 75%
of it all in silence. This whole episode reminded me again of
how I lost a big job in a bit to please Linda.
Yes, when this whole shit was still on, I tried to make Linda
understand certain things through comments on LIB
because I knew even if I send emails from then till kingdom
comes, she will never….
I know you saw my comments which was a bit harsh (the
harshness was as a result of the same complain this
gentleman narrated) but you never posted them. I wasn’t
bothered that you didn’t post my comments, but I was glad
you saw them all and pretended not to…
This is indeed a story everyone have to learn from. You all
now see when I say Linda…is fenced with pride.
Because she felt she could do things on her own, she forgot
that a rock will always be a rock.
Yes, Linda, I will never say what you wanna hear but rather,
what you need to hear and what you must hear.
I use this medium to apologize for all the abusive words I
have used on you.
I seriously think you own me a THANK YOU and APOLOGY
too.
Cheers.
………………………………………
PS. I so love this dude’s courage.
And finally, God has blessed Linda with a man.
Can’t wait to witness when she will be saying I do to Mr. Alex.
Hello Linda… Oh! I mean Hello Mrs Alex
David (dave_gino)
Yay!! So when's the wedding
the guy try for you ooo,at least this one done increase ur popularity.
So don't blame him @ all...just let it go and face your future and be careful...d guy no bad @ all oooo..loool
Am very very happy your blog is back
congrats Linda, am so so happy for you. I knew you will be back and better. I am you no 1 fan but I realy don't comment but laff/marvel at crazy comments on ur blog. you know somtin sis, I see you and Mr AyeDee hooking up, getting married for real.
well, lets keep opur fingers crossed. Congratulations again and welcome back. cheers beau- Mercy
Hi linda,
From all I can see in ur conversation de guy seems to care about u but he went about it de wrong way. He felt used and dumped. From all his explanation I can decipher dat dis niggur is working for some high and mighty agency masqurading as bloggers cause dis are the kind of ppl that are employed by CIA to monitor de internet and they wield a lot of influence so u talking about Google protecting ur intrest is like asking for wat u cant get. From the confidence with which dis guy talk I expected u to know his kinda personality they control the cyber space, they bring down watever is not in their favour or interest so therefore I will not advice u to approach this issue with naija mentality tu simply need to reach out to him in private but in a very matured way cause cutting ties with him will do no good. Frankly I will tell u dis guy is no ordinary guy. Above all
1. Link ur blogger account to ur new website
2. Invest more on security of ur site.
3. Employ even if it is 3 capable ppl to mange ur site, from content to site security, and capable writters,
4. Have de mentality dat u are gradually becoming an household name like yahoo if not now but in not too distant future
5. U need to start thinking big and start looking for a way to patent de name lindaikeji I have my reasons.
6. Diversify it is very important if not now but gradually cause cyberspace is not for faint hearted.
7 last of it all u need to get a PR manager u seriously need it so he or she can attend to mails and all promptly
Sincerly from all what de guy said if u have a good PR manager all dis would have been avoided but all the same he too over reacted. Still make sure u reach out to him and discuss pertinent issues ok.
May God bless ur hustle
Yeah! You code man. Revamp feeling.
Before Alex do wetin happen, you no know how many stab the dude collect from Linda.
Abeg make them fix date sharply oo
Lord, show me my missing rib, l promise to build her dream just like as Ayo help build linda lkeji dream Amen. if ur a lady ready for marriage with age 22 - 25, from lmo state fair in complexion dat have a unique skill, plz ping me BB: 74B0009C or FB. www.facebook.com/sirpsco lets meet.
Linda o welcome back. my bp is finally back to normal. lol My input in all this is that YOU SHOULD JUST MARRY THIS GUY. He's your guardian angel. Only few are blessed to have this kind of people in their lives. Even God spanks us when we lose track and he thought you did, misconception. He obviously just exposed your weakness and thanks to him now you can protect yourself better.
You're still single biko, if he's not yet married abeg propose to am today.
with love- Mayowa/Pressplay
Too many undotted I's... I know.. But glad to have you back madam.. Do us a favor and cut back on your arrogance. All that money flaunting 'I'm rich, I'm richer, I'm richest' has gotta stop. We know your new money is shacking you, but please, calm the fvck down.
All the best Aunty Linda :)
Congrats Linda!! This will make more popular. You are indeed the 1st and the BEST!!! Your jealous fellow bloggers should kiss the transformer. Onye Chukwu goziri, O gozigo ya forever. I didn't let ndi anya ufu gi to suceed oo, I read your mobile blogs. They didn't see your surulere days oh, they only saw the cars you are flaunting and became jealous. May the Lord continue to protect you. You are inspiring. This is a lesson!! so be very careful and BEWARE. Meanwhile, dat guy seems to be in love with you ooo.
Don't give your soul to the devil because of fame and wealth. Seek the face of God before going back to this unknown fellow. Read the lives of stars like 2pac, Whitney Houston, etc. In all I wish you good
I respect Linda. She blatantly disregarded IP and I recently sent
LIB a comment about this, you know, if you were not there, you can’t
report this thing that happened in New York or wherever as though you
were there. At the least, I’d expect to see “According to the New York
Times,…” or so.
I teach in a Nigerian university and try to create awareness of /
respect for IP in my young engineers. It’s a bit of a foreign language,
because as one can see, in Nigerian society today, all that is a joke.
Hahaha, I even tell them of an author who had her story placed in an
anthology somewhere in Africa, heard about it and confronted the
offender, guess what, he insulted her WELL. His argument being, he
stole from far greater writers, they didn’t complain, so why should her
ugly ass not be grateful? Back to my class, they dubbed so much, they
would dub answers to questions from a case discussion on ethics of
plagiarism in a test. (They really didn’t know better, what can I say?)
Taken more aggressive steps to expose them to the Northern and Western
cultures of the world, in which if you touch my IP, you are the lowest
of low scum of the earth; if you copy homework, people give you zero
straight, … All these things are alien to African, Middle Eastern, and
many other students. And I’m relativist enough not to force developed
ideas down their throats, they’re smart enough to decide themselves, let
them have the exposure. Think how China steals IP and then goes around
to say it’s the USA stealing from them. Think how Merkl and Obama ‘s
governments spy on each other, and stay friends. Think how intellectual
work is shit work in this society – I’m a fool because I think or teach
or write for a living. If I had sense, I’d be out networking for a
contract or buying and selling.
Linda, Linda, Linda. She has shown in many ways that she is a bush
girl. She helped Nigerians celebrate this their PSquare bought a new
car, Wizkid bought a wristwatch culture. She has this mythology of
herself as a hustler, God is blessing her hustle, let me enjoy a
designer dress even if it looks no better than a non-designer dress.
Ha, gosh, who the fuck cares about designer shoes and bags? Nigerians
do. Poor poor poor minds. Poor people. The hardwork part of Linda’s
ethic is good. The me-against-the-world, roforofo fighting side, that’s
gots to go. She is a rich(-er) woman now, she has to get the
stylishness to go with it. Love for Linda. Not a huge LIB fan, a minor
fan, but hope it comes back, better, and with improved ethics all
around. Amen.
And this case will make my job easier; a real-life Nigerian story of IP.
Next up: ending world hunger, …
And let me reference the author so I don’t get my butt kicked too… culled from Leadership Newspaper, a comment
http://leadership.ng/news/386473/linda-ikeji-blog-shut-
I'll say. Keep him close...he felt rejected after everything. Most people actually have the tendency to react this way. It takes a very strong person to resist lashing back when they are rejected. i'd say that now you know what he can do. Every human has a dragon aspect they don't even realize exists. You see, most people support their friends and they drop them like hot akara when they attain fame and everyone says oh! poor you! its sad. Or they say, oh you've been used. Love and Trust are voluntary and very risky so its a choice. I see something good and faithful in this guy though it looks terrible on the surface. Look beyond this and follow your instincts. May God aid you and keep you. I was so touched by this! This man loves you. Don't tell him off. It will kill him. Be his fortress & friend. The God that sees your heart will sort you out.
welcome back linlin, missed u sooo much and so glad u're back. am sure u've learnt ur lesson with what hapnd, the guy is not your enemy just an old friend who felt abandoned
You that is smart pls what are u worth? Someone is naive yet doing so well, mr smart adviser i will recommend you try been naive it might work for you. Yeye dey smell.
Inlove with this money hungry broke bastard in new york....you people are too cheap
Linda Babe, I no finish reading d tori as e too long oh, but what I understand is that d class has d delusion to one day eat that ur sweet pussy after u fashie am.
I no blame am shaaa!
Me 2, I always de think about same thing whenever I see u.
wow, Linda; your true enemies are those people who advised you to make this conversation public. From my neutral perspective, this aye dee guy has experience that would do you more good than harm. He has an aura of a visionaire. HE should have been your secret tool. Wish you the best in your next phase but for me, I would surely need the service of MR Aye DEE. Pls holla me.
This pure PR stuff. Good job guys as they have made the you more popular.. This is just to shoot up their popularity and make more money.
whoooooo hoooooo..... Baba God we tahnk you. Lindus escullentus..... nothing do you. no shaking biko..... Baba God Eshe.
Linda don get husband soooo.
Linda this is a big lesson for everybody, fine many people might not tell u the truth, but with the conversation between u two i realised u actually forgot about him and didn't care where he has been, i like what he did and am sure u learnt ur lesson and u will never forget those who u were with while climbing the ladder or those who assisted u in climbing the ladder. as for AyeDee he was just bittered about what u did n took a very wrong step. which ever way both of u learnt some lessons. am happy u are back am a great fan of yours but this is my first comment on your page. i believe u will grow bigger than you were. The lord is your strenght.
Talking about men in control, Mr Ay dee is one of them. Btw sounds like Mr Ayde loves linda oo. Might be her long lost husband **winks**
Welcome back my dearest Linda!!! I think this Ayedee man really loves you oo #justsaying# welcome love.
This has noting to do with obsession as people are terming it. Moral of the whole she guy story is for you LINDA to learn to not ignore people. Plus from indications here, the guy literally has been your source of encouragement/inspiration/help and what have you, but u got too busy to even respond to his email for upwards a year. He tried to show you who was boss even though its wrong in every way. My advice is for you to learn your lesson and mend fences with him. He is human after all.
linda, all this help hes offering you, whats in in for him???????....he sounds like he has d power to make n break u?
pls b careful cos wen u get to d top, u wudnt want to fall down, cos d fall may b great and dis guy seems like he can make dat fall happen.
True talk jare. Leave this cheap people that want her to marry this conniving leech. Linda can do better Haba
D chat messages u pasted shows his profile name as Ayedeen and u were still shocked wen he said he is d Aye Deen, who r u guys deceiving with ur fake drama ?
Asa!!! nwanyi oma !! ezigbo madu.i missed you terribly and am glad you are back.love you loads.
