jmoore:am really sorry for her, but she shot herself on the foot. If she had run her own .com domain, the worst Google can do her is ban her from Adsense and delist her site from Google search. She would have been able to pick herself up. She didn't even have an office after over 7 years as a pro blogger. Lesson to learn: Never build your online business on a company like Google. They can break your heart at anytime, no matter who you are or how popular your website is. I suffered from them in the past, but now thank God, am back, bigger and better running a business i have full control over. 1 Like |

Dinzelflash: If I may ask, is there any law that state that the name"Lindaikeji" must belong to one person? Volkswagen will loose that case because that name has been in existence before the company was set up. Normal law is quite different from the cyber ones. Nigeria is still new to that field. Linda should learn from Seun the owner of Nairaland and get her own site. 2 Likes |

Should it still be called plagiarism if she gives credit to the sources she's quoting from? Cos there are several of her posts I've read where she gives reference to the original sources, which most of the time are other big blogs and news websites. Cnn, tmz, BBC, etc all quote their sources when required. So I don't see the big deal. All I see is a desperate and pathetic guy who's trying to gain cheap publicity for himself and his sites I never even knew before now. 1 Like |

Aida13: These people stole just 12 pictures from Getty images, see what happened to them and how they got sued for $321,000. Linda stole over 1,000 images from this same company. Google initially deleted a few posts from Lindaikeji but deleted her blog when they realised she had stolen and plagiarised more than 10,000 times from Getty images, Mr Ayedun and SEVERAL people/organisations combined. So imagine what would happen if Getty images decide to sue her Right now she needs your prayers, not for you people to be calling her victims haters and she needs to employ a Business Manager, PR personnel, Lawyers, Computer Programmers, Journalists, Photographers, get an office, etc... ] @Mr Oyb fall in...thats enough for you to fill in the gap...or you can get the rest of the info off the dude's twitter handle 2 Likes 1 Share |

The Google rep that commented on the issue did not mention that she committed plagiarism, he only cited that it could be the possible cause... There are other reasons that can cause the suspension of a blog....lots of jugdes on NL.... Who did mr. Seun offended when nairaland got hacked... Am not saying she is guilty or not... Let google do there thorough search.... Am sure they are making money from her blogs ... The africa google rep shud also investigate other than jst making reference to terms and contidition of blogger.com |

GuyFawkes: Can you now see why I call these folks stark illiterates stuck in the primeval times? Nigerians have been blaming the devil, and enemies since 10BC hence the country is stuck in the 15th century. Most of them don't even know that the internet is well regulated especially when you are commercialising it. And didn't Fareed Zakaria get suspended from CNN for plagiarism? I'd say she is lucky she got the message early while still using a freebie on google. And google just had to throw her blog out, so as not to be liable in any lawsuit against her. Because apart from plagiarism, I read somewhere that the woman keeps stealing pictures from gettyimages without proper licence agreement. Oh well, she dodged a lawsuit that would have taken her life savings. She is a learner lol. Perhaps she needs to ask bossip.com, nicolebitchie.com, mediatakeout etc. About how much they have paid thus far for all kinds lawsuits. And more time, they reference the source of their news, and give photo credits. Anyway, she can learn the art of blogging and how not to break the internet dos and don't from Nicole Bitchie. And hopefully, she will use this as a learning process and stop crying foul everywhere, with these other primitive dunderheads. They make black folks look bad. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Stealing contents online is not different from vandalizing other people's cars and selling the parts in your shop. Profitable but criminal. |

Aida13: plagiarize three times in a school essay, you are going to be kicked out of the school with immediate effect. When i was in nigeria, all these plagiarism thing weren't crime, but when i came to canada, it was God that i wasn't reported to the immigration to face deportation just because i plagiarize. Na so i tell them say where i come from, plagiarism nor be big deal. The school authority confirmed it with different instructors who stated that most nigerian student they taught also did the same thing. 2 Likes |

imo the blog was taken offline for other reasons besides these various excuses given. nigeria's money is being tracked and seized all over the place, ISIS is up and running, and people have to cover their butts. etc etc. better to give the whole process another name while setting all the dominos in place and preparing the next set of workers. |

Missy89: Bwahahahaha Tilapia is a nutjob - but she's a legend though. We as black people in the general love the blame game, that's like our bread and butter, and what makes us unique. However, Nigerians took that ish to the next level, higher than stratosphere. I think it has to do with illiteracy, and being overly religious. It's always about the devil and enemies, even when they know they're in the wrong, and they have been in the wrong for a long time - till they got their just due. Bwoi, I was cracking up yesterday as a guest while reading all the comments on the initial thread. The ignorance on display was so comical that I literally almost started shedding tears. Just had to ignore the thread, before they descend on you like a wolfpack, especially when the thread is crowded. These folks need mental and spiritual cleansing. 6 Likes |

Busybody2: Thank you. You have made a valid point, unlike some who just insult simply to get their issue across. Like the [size=18pt]goathead [/size]below I can bet he's one of those who plagiarized their way through university, and will now come here forming As for me, Getty Images is a bit different. Such companies can sue for millions because of the loss they incur from stolen/plagiarised images used without permission or payment. As for the complainant in this case, he will get to earn a lighter fee I'm sure, if at all. Beside, Linda Ikeji must have lost untold sums from her blog going down even for a day/week or who knows how long. Like I said, I just want to encourage those in the same industry to learn from her mistakes and aim for originality. iykedare: 1 Like |
