Naija Crowd is an online community like Facebook where Nigerians keep in touch or simply re-connect with their friends, meet new friends, share photos & videos and create/join/participate in blogs, forums & discussions. The site’s features allows users to see your latest activities on your profile, just like Facebook. For example, when you make comments, write a blog post, update your profile, etc, although you can always change the settings, if you want.

One unique feature about Naija Crowd is its badges & widgets that you can embed into your website/blog or myspace profile that dynamically updates with the networks most popular members. Also, the widgets allows you to display your photos in a stylish photo slideshow player.

iGbadun (pronounced ee-gba-doon) is a Nigerian Online Community that connects people all over the world. iGbadun.com alows you to maintain your existing relationships by connecting with old friends as well as making new friends. The name “iGbadun” was derived from the yoruba word (a Nigerian language) for “enjoy”.
