<br>Every social networks savvy Nigerian knows Linda Ikeji, or should understand her, and it is almost impossible to have a discussion centred on online media in Nigeria without her name appearing, one method or another.By embodying that famed Nigerian can-do mindset, ex-model Linda was successful in making her name a referral point whenever people in Nigeria believe about a successful news website. For this woman from simple beginnings, starting a blog when her modelling career started to unwind was something to do, for the love of it, never ever for cash. This was some 6+ years back. Now, with many of the better-known business organisations in Nigeria competing for advert area on her blog site, Linda’s enthusiasm has turned her into Nigeria’s premier blog writer, and richest, by far.Over the years, Linda has actually set patterns, affected government policy and provided Nigerians loads of things to discuss. Fearing what a negative exposé on her blog would do their image or professions, stars of all kinds gravitated to her, and Linda, whose modelling career would never ever be said to be that high flying, became a star, and got to rub shoulders with those who claim ownership of the flashy world of glamour.<br>
<br>Maintaining a modest mien, Linda, at first, didn’t appear to care much about all the glamour, but she did keep in mind how far she had come and never ever stopped working to inform the world how she moved from not having a thousand Naira in her savings account a few years ago to getting to where she is today: all from having and regularly posting on her simple design blogspot site, from the comfort of her bedroom.As part of an interview panel a few weeks ago, I heard interviewees gush about just how much they appreciate Linda’s work principles and her capability to record and own a sector. ‘She’s so great, she makes her blogging look like talking with your buddies,’ one remarkable aspiring author gushed when asked what she believes is the Linda Ikeji magic. I agreed with her. I believe Linda Ikeji is sensational, in her consistency. As somebody who aims to the writer tag, I understand direct how tough staying on track is.Advertisement<br>
<br>Some weeks back, Linda published that she had acquired a brand new 4X4 and social networks went abuzz. Many individuals questioned if costs 24 million on one cars and truck makes sense, specifically if you already have two great automobiles in a country where (as the IMF can’t stop telling the world) the average person subsists on less than a dollar a day. However, there were those who felt it was an excellent relocation: a grand statement that the blog writer had actually joined the world of the very rich.Linda Ikeji flaunts her wheels.

<br>Perhaps it was the interest produced by the purchase, but Nigerian social networks remains abuzz. Not with the news of the very cars and truck, but around something that has actually dodged the lady’s heels for many years: the question of what many view as her rampant plagiarism.Now, you ‘d require to check out Linda’s blog site to much better comprehend her design, but the fact is that, normally, beyond the 2 liners she includes, she can’t claim ownership to most of the material. In the brand-new age of extremely fast breaking news and millions of personal blogs, copying and pasting is becoming more rampant and, in locations such as Nigeria, is mistakenly being viewed as the norm.As soon as the twitter furore over Linda’s current usage of somebody’s product without attribution or authorization started on October 4 2014, a great deal of people quickly got on her case.22/ 32 Despite making tens of countless US$ monthly from her website, @LindaIkeji chooses to willfully neglect ALL copyright holders,- Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) October 5, 2014

<br>Linda Ikeji takes articles and is described effective. If you call her out, it’s beef. This is why politicians take our wealth & are hailed.- Ikenna Ronald Nzimora (@ronaldnzimora) October 5, 2014

<br>Leave Linda Ikeji alone. Start your own blog site. Run it the way you want. Then purchase your own Range Rover.- Ohimai Amaize (@MrFixNigeria) October 4, 2014
When all is said and done, the truth will stay as glaring as it is easy: The internet is seriously challenging the existing copyright laws and the large number of violations makes most attempts at persecution a very tall order. However, the truth also speaks of rights and wrongs: Stealing somebody’s copyright is incorrect and earning a profit out of it is even worse.As I’ve said previously, most content owners are OK with others utilizing part of their work (with attribution and a link back to the original source) but are unhappy with the copy and paste reporters who believe it is reasonable play to occupy their sites with contents that are the fruit of someone’s extreme labour.Advertisement<br>
<br>I won’t declare to be saintish. Nobody is. And I make sure there are a number of ways to excuse Linda’s alleged disobediences, but those excuses pale in the light of the oft-repeated assertion that she neglects people who attempt to call her when she infringes on their copyright.That’s too bad. For someone who is a motivation to numerous young individuals here, she needs to know that there is marked difference in between a news release and an IP. For a press release, most content owners will be happy that it is being reposted across the web. As a motivator and function model, Linda requires to start teaching those who appreciate her that a piece like the one you’re checking out, as unattractive as it may appear, is someone’s baby and like a lot of infants, you require to ask the parent for authorization before you take them on a journey far from home. And after, let me know where my child is and how far she’s travelled by sending out a message back home, with a track back.She needs to reveal that beyond the buzz, she can up her video game and set the right type of requirements.<br>
