See what linda ikeji is saying below!! enjoy reading
So something has been going on for the past
couple of days that I haven’t reacted to
because I wanted to see it play out and see
how far these people will go. They have gone
far and it’s now time to react.
The only reason this is happening to me is
because I’m number one…so I am flattered. I
am currently No.10 on Alexa.com, more read
than all the other news sites in Nigeria, so I
understand why I am the target. If I were
them, I’d hate me too…lol.
.
So here’s what’s going on. Sometime last year,
some guys decided it was time to run me out
of business (duh, like you can…lol). So they
began to spam by blog. And when your blog
gets a lot of spam, Google (which hosts my
site) can take your blog down. But instead of
taking my blog down, Google took my Adsense
down for a few months and eventually re-
instated it. So they didn’t succeed. These same
people started sending strange emails to me…
looking for different ways to have access to my
blog. But I wouldn’t let them. If they could,
they would have hacked it, but they couldn’t
so they continued to look for different ways to
attack my blog
In April 2014, these guys decided to close
down the blog again. In the emails they
exchanged back and forth, they said
‘plagiarism is a good excuse to finish her’.
(they forget that if they succeed in closing
down LIB because I’m on blogger…I could
easily start a website). Now let me tell you who
these guys are. They are IT people, security
experts who know how the internet works.
They are hackers and cyber-squatters…and
only go after the biggest internet setups.
Immediately after I shared photos of my new
SUV, these guys re-connected again and
decided it was finally time to end LIB because
there were quite a few people who were mad
that I bought the car and they wanted to play
on their emotions. The head of this team is a
guy who goes by the name @MrAyeDee on
twitter. They decided to use the plagiarism
card. He said it was the strongest claim to
make and easiest way to get support from
other people. And then the campaign started
with him claiming that I took something from
him without crediting him or asking for
permission. 100% false. If he owns a website,
I’ve never visited it. He started by writing all
sorts to get people to notice…and then he
acted. Like I said these guys are IT experts,
they know what to do to get blogger/Google to
come after you. So he and his team started
filling several reports, sending links of my blog
posts and making claims to Google. Outrageous
false claims. And because Google acts first
before they contact the blog owner, they took
down some posts and asked me to file a
counter claim if I felt I had a right to re-
publish those articles. Now that my blog is
under Google review, these guys have started
to spam it again.
They want Google to shut it down. That is their
aim. Will they succeed? I sincerely don’t know.
I’m not an IT expert…I know they are
spamming and filing complaints, I don’t know
what else they are doing behind the scenes but
they are relentless.
Now let me give you guys a bit who this Aye
Dee guy is. He’s anonymous on Twitter.
Nobody really knows who he is but according
to those investigating him, his name is
Emmanuel Efremov simply known as EE by his
friends. He’s the owner of 15Past8.com media
group. Based in Manhattan. Gets funding from
some US organization. (His number – 212
9608127). He’s apparently been stalking me
for years now and have registered quite a
number of my domain names…lindaikeji.net
plus 8 others. He also owns 9jalife.com…yep,
he owns a blog. He accuses me of copyright
infringement but when you go to 9jalife and
other websites he owns…98% of the things he
has on there are other people’s content. You
see pot calling kettle black? Lol.
Immediately he was found out yesterday, the
IT expert immediately started to redirect
lindaikeji.net to my blog. If you click
lindaikeji.net now, it will redirect you to this
blog. He panicked yesterday and quickly did it.
A name he register as far back as 2011. Lol.
Choi!
Not only that, he’s also a cyber squatter. Yep,
he registers 100s of websites belonging to
others around the world and tries to make
money off them. Guess one of his aims is to
run me out of blogger so I come to him and
his team and pay thousands of dollars to get
one of the several names he’s registered. Not
going to happen, boo! Hehe
Below is an article from lawyer and blogger
Uduak Udouk of Africa Music Law about this
guy and his cyber-squatting criminal activities
“According to a twitter handle owned by @
MrAyeDee, celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji was
accused of copyright infringement of his
works. He reported these infringing activities
to Google and what resulted was a take down
of his articles/works on her site. He also
claimed with the rate and way things looked,
Linda Ikeji’s site could be shut down within a
week.
I get the fact that this guy was concerned
about Ikeji’s activities and got Google to do
something about it. What I don’t get is his
very strong response and continued massive
tweets talking about the same issue in an
almost vendetta like style towards her. This got
me curious to know who he was and what
could be a motive behind all of these.
I began by looking at his twitter page and
narrowed in on his website www.
15Past8.com. The description of the services
he offered through his media group raised my
curiosity. He says his media group owns
“hundreds of websites.” He also claimed some
of the infringing content on Linda Ikeji came
from his site. Well one of his hundreds of
websites is 9jalife.com because it has the
15Past8.com media group stamped on it. I did
a basic search on 9jalife.com to see who owns
it. The name ‘Emmanuel Efremov’ came up as
the registered owner of 9jalife.com.
9jalife.com is clear it is owned by
15Past8.com media group, @MrAyeDee’s
company.
For my article on Linda Ikeji, many have been
saying they are surprised she does not own
her own domain. Purely out of curiosity, I
looked up Lindaikeji.com and noted it is
owned by someone else, a case of
cybersquatting. I also look up Linda Ikeji.net
and see the same ‘Emmanuel Efremov’ come
up. Now I am very curious. How is it that
Emmanuel Efremov owner of 9jalife.com, a
subsidiary of 15Past8.com, also owns
LindaIkeji.net? Am I missing something?
Needless to say, I google the name ‘Emmanuel
Efremov’ and lo and behold, there is a case by
Volkswagen against an Emmanuel Efremov for
cybersquatting. Looking at the description of
15Past8.com, the registered domain owner of
9jalife.com and Lindaikeji.net and the case by
Volkswagen against Emmanuel Efremov, I am
left feeling that the credibility of @MrAyeDee
is shot and very weak at best. It also makes me
wonder about any prior existing relationship
between him and Linda Ikeji as to the issue of
domain ownership i.e. cybersquatting. It is not
uncommon for cybersquatters to ask you the
legitimate owner of a trademark to pay them
to own your own website.
If you accuse someone of copyright
infringement, it is a good idea to make sure
your hands are very clean and there is no
connection whatsoever with a possible bad
faith attempt to hijack their domain name. I
am curious to see where all of these leads.”
Uduak Udouk
Now talking about copyright infringement, Mr
Aye Dee feels that crediting source is not
enough, that I have to write a written
permission to the website owner. That’s
laughable at best. So if there’s a breaking news
on TMZ, I will first write to the editors and
wait for the 2/3 days it will take them to reply
me…that’s if they even bother to.
I admit that I take content from other sites.
Plenty of it sef, but the question is, which
website in the world doesn’t? If you go on
Bossip.com, 50% of what is there is from
other sources. Daily Mail UK takes from other
sites, re-writes and give credit. UK Mirror
takes from other sites. MediaTakeOut quotes
other sources. E! Online, Us Weekly, People
and even CNN take news from other sources
and give credit, so why is mine an offense to
the extent that my blog deserves to be shut
down? Even in Nigeria, which site doesn’t take
news from other sites? Which? That is how
media runs. Perez Hilton makes $10million a
year from blogging and 50% of the content on
his site is not originally his. As long as you give
credit…which I do! Except in cases where you
don’t know the original source of the story or
photo. So many blogs take content from my
site, how many of them have I gone after? In
fact, I’m happy that they do so, I have nothing
against it. If I take content from another site
and they approach me to take it down despite
giving credit, I will take it down. But that
doesn’t happen.
I try as much as possible to get as many
exclusives as I can, but because I work from
home my team is so small. I’ve been planning
to employ more hands which I will do
eventually and then get a proper office. I’m
kinda glad this happened. It’s now pushing me
to act and take my business more seriously.
So Mr Aye Dee, Mr EE, Mr #bringmedown or
whoever you are and Jeremy Weate (look who
is talking ..lol) and all the others talking, I am
not afraid of you! You didn’t bring me this far
and you’re not enough to bring me down. Like
if you dream it, speak it, act it, hope it,
envision it, see it, pray it….YOU are not
enough! You can’t bring a good woman down.
You can try boo, oh please keep trying…but
you see this lady, she ain’t going nowhere. You
don’t even know who you are dealing with. You
don’t know what drives me and how far I plan
to go. I’ve been a hustler since I was 17, doing
it on my own…on my own terms. Plus I have
the backing of God…and of course my
hundreds of thousands of readers. I repeat,
YOU are not enough!
I have been blogging for close to eight years
and I plan to be around for many more years
to come, so get used it. If you manage to close
down LIB, I’ll come back bigger and better. So
keep trying boo! And enjoy all the attention
you will get from this post…you’ve earned it.
Kisses!
Oh by the way Mr EE, one of your friends who
you were doing the #bringlindaikejidown
campaign with has turned against you and
contacted me. He’s a LIBer just like you…
hehe…but decided it wasn’t fair and reached
out to me. God bless you Mr Aye Dee. I hope
your hustle also pays. All the best.
To others reading this, if you want to be
successful in life, please prepare yourselves for
something like this. People don’t go after
failures. You have to be really crazy to gather
to plot the downfall of an orange seller or a
gate-man (with all due respect). These people
go after successes. Once you succeed in any
field, they will come after you…it’s inevitable.
Ask everyone who has succeeded. It’s not
whether they will try, because they will…it’s
how you respond to it that matters.
Don’t you ever, listen to me, ever let anyone
defeat you. You didn’t work so hard to get to
the top for somebody who didn’t know how
you struggled to bring you down. You will be
disappointing God. You don’t even know how
disappointed He will be. How dare you let
them win? They will come for you…that’s a
guarantee just make sure you defeat them.
These people are not even haters..they are
excuses…they are the natural reaction to
success…put in this world to take actions
against people who are climbing the ladder of
success. If they see you’re about to fly, they
will try to cut your wings because when you
fly, there’s no stopping you anymore. And
that’s what they want to do…to stop you! Don’t
let them distract you. Stay focused on your
dreams and keep flying.
Lastly, You know how negative voices can be so
loud that you can’t hear the positive ones? In
moments like that just quiet the noise and
listen again…listen only to the positive ones…
because they are all that matters.
May all your dreams come true! May
everything you put your hands into succeed.
May your enemies show their faces so you
know who they are…but may they never win.
Thank you so much to all LIB readers for your
loyalty all these years. I keep saying you
changed my life and I will always be grateful.
Long live LIB.
Thanks guys and have a blessed day.
