Following intense series of exchanges
involving top Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji and a man known simply as @Mr AyeDee
in the last one week, the blogger’s blog page – www.lindaikeji.blogspot.com
– has been shut down by Google.
Linda, who currently holds the bragging
rights to being the number one blog in Nigeria, comfortably sitting at the 10th
position on the Alexa ratings log of top websites and blogs in Nigeria, had a
petition written against her by @MrAyee, currently who ignited what has become
Twitter’s most discussed topic since about the last one week.
Accusing the celebrated Nigerian
blogger and former model of plagiarism, copyright infringement and other
offences, AyeDee, took the matter to Google. The online search engine giants,
sending out a notice to Linda Ikeji that it was investigating the matter, first
acted by deleting several posts from her blog, before finally taking it down
less than an hour ago.
Before her blogsite was yanked off,
Linda Ikeji responded to the plagiarism allegations in a lengthy post, saying
she doesn’t plagiarise and sounding a notice that an unspecified number of
cyber squatters have acquired all the possible Linda Ikeji domain names on the
internet and have been targeting her for years.
A visit to the site reveals: ‘Blog has
been removed Sorry, the blog at lindaikeji.blogspot.com has been removed. This
address is not available for new blogs.’
Stick to KIB for developing details…
