At the time of filing this report, it appears Linda Ikeji’s troubles have started simmering down as the blog is now up to an extent, accessible on on lindaikeji.mobi.
However, FNN can exclusively report that this was only possible after a compromise was reached between Linda, Google and the various people suing her.
We can authoritatively report that Linda Ikeji has agreed in principle to pay the sum of N100,000 each to every person or blog owner she has ever stolen an article from.
Initial calculations have shown that, taking into consideration the vast number of articles Linda has allegedly plagiarized, the eventual sum might be in excess of N100 million.
For now, she has reportedly made available the sum of N800, 000 to start the settlements, and sources also reveal she is thinking of taking OLX up on their offer and putting her Brand New Range Rover up for sale to finance the settlement.
In the meantime, she has made concerted efforts to get her blog running again on WordPress but has been told she would have to make a substantial down payment to take care of any “unforeseen legal conundrums” in the future.
