Though Madam Kemi Olunloyo
said she has forgiven, linda ikeji, she has reacted after Stella DimokoKorkus
blasted Linda Ikeji for alleged theft.
Kemi Olunloyo took to her
Instagram page to wade in on the apparent fight between Linda Ikeji and Stella
DimokoKorkus.
The two who were once best
of friends, seem to be at loggerheads, and below is what kemi has to say about
it all;
#HNNGossip I’m the only
NIGERIAN in the Top 10 pioneer bloggers in the world @time magazine 1999. Many
of you were babies when this started in 2006. Linda is a blogger, Stella and I
are Journalists. There is a big difference. Journalists who blog are called
professional bloggers. Mr Aye Dee took Linda’s blog down for 29 hours because
of copyright infringement. I was the first to fight for Linda behind the scenes
and told you her blog will return live at midnight and it did plus I tweeted it
#LIVE. My Twitter genius @tade355 go find me those tweets. I called my friend
Sergei Brim co-founder of Google who linked with Google Nigeria.
The beef here
is long-standing. At the Nigerian Tribune in 2013, I was told to do a story on
Nigeria’s top Female bloggers. When I compiled the list, Stella declined to be featured
if Linda was on it. Next I was Linda’s victim. The 2013 gun story where she
diminished my brand. I dropped the Tribune story and instead I wrote a story on
how Nigerian bloggers have generally failed because of copying and syndicating
each other. Linda also made fun of Stella’s oyinbo babies saying she slept with
oil expats and didn’t know the father of her kids when she actually married one
and had kids with him before they moved to Germany. I watched all this play out
from 2005-2018.
The solution now is Linda, keep your interns trained on photo
credits and sourcing info. Someone will take down your blog permanently like
what happened to Twitter. That could collapse your empire. Don’t let it
happen!! We are web logging and logging the web is not all copy and paste.
#WEBLOGGING without the we is what is termed blogging. You must credit and
source content from the web meaning other people’s work. Cheers Kemi
