Between Linda Ikeji and Mr Aye Dee. The real shocking story

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.

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

info: I assumed you knew and were just forming
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
info: when I spoke to Ohimai, I even told him
info: that I know her we've worked together but she's ignoring me
 me:  ignore u?
 info:  I really thought success had gone to your head
 info: Yes
info: I sent you email
info: sent tweets

 me:  i never got any emails my goodness
 info:  sigh
 me:  why didn't u try to chat with me?
 me: i get hundreds of mails every day
 info:  I wish I could tell you why, but it didn't cross my mind till just now
 me:  i don't read half of 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:  i don't do much gmail chatting
me: but immediately i saw ur address i was like yay! my old friend
 info:  lol
 me:  tot u were reaching out to me bcos of whats happening
 info:  I am
info: because it makes no sense
info: I don't want to destroy something I loved helping you build
info: Someone I've prayed for
info: and someone I still believe is 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
 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: If we are united
info: what/whom is going to get between us? Our relationship predates "THE" Linda Ikeji afterall
 me:  what's ur real name?
 info:  whichever tweets of mine that you want me to yank, I shall
info: What do you think, do you even remember?
Info: Mukhtar Alexander Dan'Iyan
info: MrAyeDee
me:  oh dear Lord
me: i can't believe this
 info:  Once done, let's face those who are blackmailing you. We'll have none of that
info: Yes, neither can I. Save the story for your memoirs
info: which you know you are going to HAVE to write one day
info: you are an inspiration to many
 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
 info:  Have I ever given you cause NOT to?
info: I believe in you
info: nothing can change that
 me:  u turned many people against me...in the last few days
me: so yes
 info:  Those who turned we can get back if need be. You will emerge stronger from this if you want, and I'll do all I can to assist you in this endeavor
info: I am emotionally vested in your success, I've been involved in your growth, nothing can change that
 info:  I've laid down all my weapons lol
info: Neutralized
me:  ok so
 info:  so?
 me:  dont even know what to write again
 me: lol
 info:  Hahahaha
info: what would you like the outcome of this discussion to be?
 me:  thank God i was sitting when u started chatting
 info:  Hahahahaha
info: smart move
me:  my goodness yesterday u were asking pple to submit their names for a lawsuit and today i find out its u?
 info:  A day is a long time in politics
info: I have partners
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
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:  I shall in regards to this issue
info: yes
info: but if we want people to move on
 me:  u started it.
 info:  that's the best way
 me:  u end it
 info: I agree
info: I shall
info: but you are tweeting
 me:  i will acknowledge ur tweet
 info:  so they know you've moved on too
 me:  i will write something
me: but not same thing as urs
 info:  okay, but key is to do it in real time. and not to comment again on the issue
 me:  ive never commented on it on twitter
 info:  If we want this issue closed
info: yes I know
 me:  just the blog
 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: 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: you still have the lindaikeji.net or you might have another
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.

Please feel free to read when Mr Aye Dee/1976AD made me his Person of the Year - here

Truth must be told, Linda you not that kind of person you pretend to be. When you needed his help again you could recognise him but had been u had no challenge at that moment you will have ignored him. I read all your post and av been following this man on twitter but you were not been sincere. You knew somone was talking you, you also said he tried to contact you in 2013 but you cannot remember. Who is fooling who? How I wish I could retrieve everything av said abt this man. In dissapointed. If you like don't post it and pretend you didn't see it as usual. Na u sabi

Welcome Back Congratulations..

Like an adage in yoruba will say "ti iku ilé o pa eni, ti odé ko le pànì" that simply means if the evil from within our camp can't kill us, an outsider can't... God should guide us from the people who knows us well and wants to bring us down. Shame on Mr Ayedee, she trusted you and you wanted to bring her down cos of envy.

Linda I do think you plagiarize sometimes, by just copying and pasting an article from some source. Over here in the US it's a very big crime. Thank God you have realized it and would start citing sources.

Welcome back Linda. Happy you got your blog up and running. I’m a fan. If you ever need advice you can reach out. I admire your work and it has inspired me to start something. I see Google has restored your website but I still think self hosting is the best way to go that way you would not be at the mercy of Google's terms and service. Good luck.

This is my first time writing a comment on your blog. First, I must say you're doing an excellent job with respect to making Nigerian news available to those of us outside the country and wish to follow up on things at home. Your blog is literally the only source where I get news about Nigeria in recent times. Also, concerning this post, I was thinking the AyeDee person meant to genuinely make peace initially when I started reading through and felt you shouldn't have shared such a private conversation. However, being patient enough to the end of the conversation and from subsequent tweets he posted, I figured he's one of those criminal minded people who are unfortunately Nigerians abroad. It's quite clear he doesn't have good intentions, maybe he did in the past. Overall, I wish you even greater success and be rest assured that as long as you continue offering value, you'll have my loyalty and that of other LIB followers. All the best!

Well, obsession is a strong word to use for this kind of person. Not once in d entire convo did he show signs of a stalker, just an aggrieved friend and that happened all the time. I will not say it is unfair to publish all ur personal convo but I will say it was uncalled for. Now people will blame you if the guy go gaga I won't be surprise if u are down within 24hrs again cos this must really hurt the guy, he thought he was making personal convo. Anyway, he might have hidden agenda too cos obviously he owns the .net site and you might just have given a little credibility to his hidden agenda. Am out.

Yeh!, found you my dear Linda, maybe i am actually your best ready...lol..

Not too surprized, based on some of his tweets, I had guessed their might have been some connections between you two in the past.

I'm not so sure of what he really wants now, but seems he's really trying to convince you that he's been a core part of your success from the very begining, and that without him you can't go much further. ''That is so wrong.''


Taking down your blog was clearly an act born out of pride, jealousy, and feeling of being rejected, and he felt the best way to move-on was to get back at you and destroying what he ''allegedly helped you build.''

Linda if I were you...

I'm not sure if I can trust such a person again. And I would do everything in my power to proof beyond reasonable doubt that I can achieve far more greater goals with or without a single help from him.

Jealousy can be very dangerous when mixed with pride.

Ride on Linda...

I am just so excited and couldnt just ignore but to comment my first time here. I could write on and on ,I am just excited and happy for you. You have touched lives and God wont let you down.

Linda u made a mistake of not even trying to ask after him all those years and this was someone who contributed to your success. Are u telling me if he didn't ask after you you won't bother to find him? We shouldn't always forget about people who contributed to our success in life, be it twenty years ago.

Dr K said...

I'm a big fan of yours Linda and this your story seems quite believable but I know Google, they're not like our Nigerian police that will arrest anyone that is being complained against without proper questioning.
If a blog is reported for copyright infringement or plagiarism it will be investigated thoroughly with visible proof before any action is taken.
Granted Mr Aye Dee or whatever he calls himself might be a ranging psycho but he is not Google CEO and no way will he get Google to take down a highly successful blog like yours that generates so much traffic. That's bad business for them as well.
You said you're not sure if you copyrighted an item in the past so yea it's possible that you did so therefore you're not blameless. He reported you for defaulting blogging rules. The reason why he did it is just secondary.
Keep up the good work and learn from it.

This is not good enough @lindaikeji. Does it mean anyone can just ruin you from google's side? I think you should start doing things about that.

On the other hand, you really need to appreciate your old helping hands.This is a lesson for everyone. You could have contacted your 17whatever guy since. Must he always be the first to contact you?

However, don't ever consider such man for marriage. He would ruin you whenever he wants!

Welcome back love. Have really been very worried about you. Please please and please try and fix your own domain to avoid story that touches. I have come to realise these few days your site was down, how wicked and jealous humans are. Read all sorts of things on the internet and other blogs and I came to realise that so many pple hate seeing others making success in life. Some said it was good they shut her down because she has been flaunting her wealth, some said why did she buy a range, some said why did she take her family to dubai smh.' Truth is, even if you hadn't done any of these, they still would have hated you because they're immuned to success" You really need to be mindful of the friends you keep. Know it today that your success gives so many pple sleepless nights, so please learn from this incident and be more wise. I have told you earlier to diversify and also possibly set up an office and employ more hands. Above all try as much as possible to buy all the domains relating to your name, and stay away from this guy that shut down your site. Goodluck to you.

Unknown said...

Read every bit of this. I think this guy wants some acknowledgement from LIB. LIB forgive him but beware of strangers, treat them with respect NEVA trust anyone. After when you supposedly lost contact with him you kept waxing stronger, so even though he played a part in your encouraging you, you could have been where you are without him. This is my first time of comment on LIB, felt sad when they took you down bc I read countless times day and night. Keep it up LIB!!!

Today being a very sad day for me,I lost one of my closest friend while we went to play football after the close of work.Uche died on my laps. I am still in that shock of life. Again another far friend was shocked too,Linda,just thank God and your stars. Aye Dee would have done this and gone with it cuz he hs the technical know how to do some internet abracadabra. But I will just advice U to be so very careful of him, like you said, pls employ trusted hands(first class internet gurus) and back up your domain. Be totally independent of this Satanic-saviour. Don't run to him for anything again,spend on hiring best hands.task them on what U want. If Aye Dee did this nd is proud to say it and offered to help, I know U as woman could wanna fall for it emotionally but pls don't . He is screwing U up in his mind already. Be smart baby...I missed my blog. And I pray, God will punish all those who wanna make crazy names from pulling struggling pple down. I. And my wife love U! Unedited pls...

this is an indication that Linda didn't learn so much from this whole saga. You said, after showing the exchange to your "family and friends".

For the 1st time Linda i think you're being a little facetious here. He was a supportive piller and i some part helped build your blog up with his technical expertise etc early on in your career. How come you suddenly forgot about him? Hmmm.... something doesn't just feel right about that summation. But who knows? People get busy, and drift apart atimes. Still love your blog sha! Live, learn to forgive and get better. Time to step your game up and run your business tighter. Run it more professionally still with your personality, than just as a hobby. Youre dealing with big players and you'll have big problems to accompany. Cheers

Unknown said...

Long story...Well, good thing u are back, thats a relief! Thought we lost your there...

Linda my dear, I strongly believe you should get a website and respond to your emails. You getting tons of emails is a good thing, that means u are relevant and people are trying to reach out to you... if you are too busy to respond to emails then employ some1 to do it. Not reaponding to emails I personally think its rude...

Secondly, I feel u are not taking this business as serious as u should, maybe you are, but doesn't seem so to me. I wouldn't consider ur range rover or ur house in lekki a measure of success. Look u'v got big brands advertising(not to mention how worried they must have been when ur blog went down, what would u have said to them if tour blog isn't back up today: am guessing "sorry" , but that wouldn't cut it in this case as this is business)...
Your guy Mr Aye has advised you well, and looks like he is good for you (hey! If u had responded to his email we wouldn't have this story and I wouldn't have been making this comment. I would probably be reading something about Shefau or our missing girls on ur blog, who knows)...

You mentioned all the domain names you want
Have all been taken, well, there is .com.ng, there is .ng soo on. These days, it doesn't matter 100% what your domain name extention is, you can apply things like 'page redirect' , seo, plus ur popularity to make the new domain name prominent...

U also need a better structured ad management system, the way you are currently going about your ad isn't a good practice and a bit amateurish considering the level you have attained. You can exactly achieve proper ad management system on blogger except on your own domain...
Some how I feel you already know these things but just playing ignorant. Remember that your readers come first in whatever you are blogging, without these readers you wouldn't have the ads rolling in would ya? All these full image background ad advertisement and images in ur site are all unoptimised and like ur friend rightly said, ur site is very slow...

What I am trying to say in essence is: get your own domain and start working on a new designed blog so you don't have to be at googles mercy, also purchase a vps so u can handle the traffic that u currently have and the new once you are about to get, because somehow I feel this isaue with ur blog going down is about to make u more popular...

I know you'v got alot of money and can pay any big company to build u something nice... I am an IT personnel and run an IT firm, I basically put businesses online. I can also assist you in revamp and overhaul and restrategising etc all for free, however I can help, I would love to. Your blog is good for this country and africa, it helps put us on the map and I will hate to see something bad happen to it again
C'mon, lets make it a global business upgrade u from just ur android/ipad into a proper office with staff doing awesome stuff.

PS: please pay no attention to the gramatical error or wrong phrase in my text, I was just tying straight as it comes to my head and didn't vet for errors...
Think about it lindy! And good luck with your blog.

Hey Linda, having read thru your chat with Aye dee again. I don't perceive beef neither was it borne out of a need to catch ur attention; he needed you to publish your articles via the appropriate route but you were not heeding (obviously you genuinely didn't see his messages).

One more thing babes; in life you need to apply wisdom. While it was enlightening reading through the long convo, I don't think you should have published the entire chat.

Linda am glad you are back. You deserve it because you work so hard. Please from a woman who has followed your blog for the last 6years and genuinely respects your humility and bravery - "stop publishing your wealth on instagram, your blog etc. Life is very hard for a lot of people who will become very jealous and envious when they see how you so easily progress. Moderation is key! Tone it down. All the vile comments on the internet mostly referred to your birthday gift. I know its exciting to be able to afford these things but please remember the heart of man is desperately wicked. I hope you have learnt from this gurl... go and equip yourself with the skills to run your business - when you depend on people you give them the key to destroy you. Id keep praying for you linda. Meanwhile tell Laura your sister to get her act together - i like that she is free spirited but she draws unnecessary attention to you. Be wise linda and dont forget to Invest, invest, invest! While u rocking dem designers. Lastly - trust no one even Mr Ayedee. PS - DONT EVER LET YOURSELF BE ALONE WITH MR AYEDEE THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT ABOUT SOMEONE WHO WILL GO THIS LENGTH TO GET YOUR ATTENTION.

Quite touching, emotional and even romantic. I guess you have learnt your lessons very well and will not repeat those mistakes again. The truth is that there are certain people you should have their pictures hung on the wall of your mind's hall of fame because of the love and support they gave you. Just because you become a celeb does not make them any less important.
Advice: Use a different email address for special purposes and a separate one for receiving your blog comments since of course you dont read the comments. Success all the way. I will get there too. Sooner than you did anyway

go find the chibok girls and stop monkeying around.

Personally I feel the guy isn't the "devil" ur trying to paint him out to be, don't be greedy and choose ur blog over a human being, ur blog doesn't have feelings,Aye Dee does.....oh well! *sigh* welcome back Linda, u sorta needed that publicity tho.

Lesson learnt, a great lesson learnt from all these.
Do the needful as soon as possible Linda.
Thank God for restoration!

Wow! This is really shocking. But again, I portends a whole lot of lessons. I have just learned. Hope everyone else did like I did.

Its such a relief to have your blog back. Was devastating not being able to read through it yesterday after Google took it down. I've taken my time to read your conversation with this Aye Dee guy and my conclusions are: He has always been crazy about you, could be infatuation tho. Bottomline, remain smart

IamCAA said...

I've studied US law so I know a thing or two about plagiarism or copyright. As long as you quote or give credit to owner, you are not "stealing."

I read the painfully long & annoying correspondence between you and "info." I think its a great idea to post it. The truth must be told before it gets twisted and turned.

He is not obsessed. He is envious of you and has a sense of entitlement that he "made" you become who you are. In his mind you got "big" and you are leaving him in the dust so he is mad. He may even feel you owe him. Friends shouldn't keep record of what they did for you. You don't develop friendships for credit. He sees you got a car & he feels left out that you didn't give him some type of kudos. This probably infuriated him.

Even if he felt abandoned, a friend would not try to take you down. He will wish you all the best. His claim of "partners" is bullshit!

My advise: Do not trust him at all. He back stabbed you once, he won't hesitate to do so again. He lives the attention this feud is causing. He enjoys it. He wants to be associated with you. Why does he want you both to co-sign that tweet message? Come the fuck on. That's transparent. Thanks, but no thanks!

When you are on top, people will come for you. People who gave you things for free will now bring a check saying you owe them.

Get the fuck outta here! Just reading his responses was so irritating. Slimy snake. He was ever a real friend to start with.

Well that's the price to pay you are now a celebrity Linda ikeji! But one voice in me says this guy is your husband maybe that is how God wants to do it for u2 lol!

linda, i am happy u r up and running. i am really happy. i think this should be an eye opener for you. i honestly think you should forgive this man and also continue your friendship. there a way you can be friends with someone and still keep your distance.

Unknown said...

Linda, what i have seen frm all these is dat u lack humility. a single response to dis guy would hv sort all these for long. anyway, i believe u hv learnt ur lesson now. welcome back

I hope I will be the first to comment on this. Congrats Linda. Truth be told, take to his advices and do things right. Don't wear yourself out with so much work. You need to start a family and I guess it might be with Ayedee *eyesrolling* Set up and employ some good hands to help. You have made money, help some people and be an employer of labour. God bless you. Bigger you in Jesus name. Cheers

Great to have your blog back up, but what in the hell are you smoking on? You must think we aint got nothing to do better than read this crap. Anyway welcome back

Anonymous said...

This is my first comment ever on your blog. I'l struggle to make it short. I enjoy your blog so do many others who don't say. I am in extreme shock with this post between you and this guy. Well he has venerated you. You are human we all are, u av your rights and no one would fault u for taking this up further. But let this be one thing that you turn a blind eye to. This guy is sick but intelligent, u av no idea wot else he could be capable of. You know when people say..Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise? Make dis an Epic case of that. Reflect and make changes where you need too. God alone can read the human heart. Doh, kpele, and in my language Ndou! Dont worry I'm not aye dee lol fear catch me self as I dey type so. Hehehehe

Welcome back dearie, urs is to shine and yes u will shine

This might be a little info compared to what's on ground but part of the reason why this blog is popular and has regular visitors is because of the way you write! like a regular person and not a professional writer! The jokes,the way u throw in broken english,yoruba,igbo funny words here & there...people feel connected to you (Especially women) like you guys share the same sense of humor! So my point is,even if u hire a writer ,Don't ever change that aspect of the blog! Good luck and don't ever trust this Mr eye dee guy!

Awwwwwnsh!...my baby is back...lindodo..anyday..anytime..

Everybody, Linda Ikeji's blog has been restored.

Yes! Thanks to Aye Dee for requesting that her blog be returned. It's a record.

Google has never restored a deleted blog in less than a week before talkless of 24 hours.

Bloggers and Bloggees, the fear of Aye Dee is the beginning of wisdom!

defolaju said...

took my time to read it all and im still confused about what this dude wanted to achieve.....ATTENTION i guess. he wanted lindas attention and he got it. that was crude and he surely hasnt told linda all there is to know. im sure there is more. AWON AYE . bro that was sheer wickedness

See gist o Linda....Aye Dee no try @all. But he is a nice guy after all. He felt u stopped communicating with him intentionally since u started making money, hence ds drama. He went too far though, but Linda forgive n forget, he is a good guy....such is life after all.

Mischievous said...
