I am just sick about this whole thing and I need to mention it here again.Someone wrote a comment the other day telling me that why did I tell people to quote or create a link anytime they take materials from here.Its either the person is mischievious or ingnorant of certain things.
Few days back, someone who has been following my work called me from Netherlands.The person informed that how come almost all my materials are also published on nigeriafilms.com? I got there and I was amazed because almost all my daily gist were published there.They even picked all the pictures on the hip hop world awards and they wrote 'photos submitted by Niyi Tabiti' (Please go to the photo gallery of nigeriafilms.com)
To make matters worst,they put their signature on my photos.If you are picking,do you have to pick 90 per cent of what is on the blog?' Secondly,do you have to put your signature on another person's job?Isn't that criminal?
Haba! No permission,no pay, nothing!If you work in the midnight, follow celebrities all over the place, battle computers and go through the trouble of posting these materials on the blog everyday,you will definately pity the operator of this blog.
I am just sick about the whole thing because it look as I have been working for soomeone without knowing it.In Europe and America that we all try to copy, there is always a procedure to how certain things are done.How can I have an online journal and another online journal picking 90 cent of what I post on their own website.I am just sick...!
My friend who wrote that comment,please I am not bragging but I am very consistent in what i do and I try to be ahead.People should respect other peoples work.If I hurt you by writing this piece I am very sorry,there is no other way to press for my intellectual rights.
Some people have been good enough to pick one or two things and they acknowledge us well.I thank 'Aunty' Funmi Iyanda because her link brought alot of traffic back to the blog when she reproduced Omotola's photo on her
http://www.fiyanda.blogspot.com/. I also thank Tribune Newspapers,Punch Newspapers,The Nation Newspapers and First Weekly magazine for quoting from the blog at one time or the other.
Well,tommorow in Lagos,Nigeria,Erelu Ojuolape Ojora would mark her 70th birthday,Shaggy will also be performing in Lagos.Ade Bendel and Friends will also have a show at Eleko Beach.
Thank You.
