Nigerians have taken to social media to bash popular blogger, Linda Ikeji for revealing the anonymous owner of another popular blog, Instablog9ja.
In a viral post on Thursday, Ikeji disclosed that one John Abayomi Aruleba was the hidden hand behind Instablog9ja.
However, many commentators who questioned her motive, especially in light of the sensitive nature of some of Instablog9ja posts, accused her of exposing Aruleba to danger.
According to commentaries monitored on Twitter, Ikeji was accused of being jealous of Instablog9ja’s success.

Instablog came along and changed the blogging scene for Linda Ikeji. Most definitely huge revenue drop for her.
Is that why she's ratting him out?

Linda Ikeji hates competition so much that she had to reveal a John Abayomi as the owner of Instablog 9ja. It's a dirty game.

But some commentators said Ikeji did nothing wrong by revealing Instablog9ja’s owner, saying the move was geared towards increasing her own blog’s popularity.

Linda Ikeji revealing Instablog’s owner identity is nothing but a simple business strategy, a deliberate attempt to weaken her competition, y’all should calm down with the jealousy claims.

I feel it’s jealousy that made Linda Ikeji expose that instablog person (that’s if it’s the real person)
People don’t visit her blog like before
Instablog gets more traffic

Linda Ikeji reveals the owner of Instablog9ja. While every blogger is waiting for others to post something they can copy (they didn’t even know Linda was pregnant until she revealed it herself) she is constantly ahead with exclusives and breaking news.

The game is the game oh, Linda ikeji and instablog basically do the same thing. I don’t even know if there’s any pre-existing beef between them. But y’all know damn well that if Linda was annon and instablog got the gist about her he’d do exactly what she did. Make una Rest

Really don't get why Linda Ikeji is being dragged for revealing who she thinks is behind Instablog9ja. While I fear for the safety of the said John Abayomi, truth is at some point, his identity would have leaked. Also reversing roles, 'he' prob would have done same. It is what
