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

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

 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: 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

 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

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.

Anonymous said...

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?

Anonymous said...

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.

Hmmm, dis is a real story indeed.

Dasheeeee said...

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Anonymous said...

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.

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.

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.

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.

You are getting back bigger and better.

Unknown said...

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!

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.

Girls like Linda will stay single for life and think its becos men are intimidated by them.

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!

Prince Goodluck Obi said...

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!

Mr kenneth said...

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..

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

uju said...

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.

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.

joseph ejiro said...

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.

Unknown said...

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.

Jude Akinwole said...

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!

Dauda Aliu said...

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

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

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.

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, …

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.

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.
