AML TIP: LINDA IKEJI’S mistake?
1. Not incorporating as a business to shield herself from personal liability. If she is sued now, her cars, houses, and other personal assets will be hit. Incorporating protects your business assets. Folks be sure to review my article on Nigerian Company Law to learn how to incorporate your business in Nigeria. Also watch my video below on the Sahara TV show to learn more about what I speak of.
2. Not having her own self hosted platform. If her violations are where Google believes there is no redemption, since it is claimed there are several authors with infringing works on her platform , then her blog could be deleted by Google, just like that.

Who Owns Sex Tweets? Bloggers SugaBelly v. Linda Ikeji at Loggerheads
ASK MS. UDUAK: In this episode of The Africa Music Law Show with Ms. Uduak, Ms. Uduak takes on the heated debate sprung on by bloggers Sugabelly and Celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji. Sugabelly was an invited host for the No Holds Barred interactive (NHBi) Twitter chat, an ongoing one year twitter chat forum focused on relationships. To kick off the discussion on the selected topic ‘Woman count’ she revealed she had been with 13 sexual partners. Celebrity legal blogger Linda Ikeji shared that tweet among others on her platform. This resulted in Sugabelly and NHBi asking that she take it down and Sugabelly arguing copyright law protects her tweets including the one revealing the amount of sexual partners she has had. Is she right? Find out as California based fashion and entertainment lawyer Uduak Oduok (Ms. Uduak) takes on this hot topic.
