Nigeria’s Internet User Base Hits 10 million
I reported on this blog, sometime in April that Nigeria is ranked No. 1 amongst African countries for Internet usage with over 8 million users. In a recent survey by the Internet World Stats, Nigeria still leads Africa’s Internet user base with 10 million users.
In the current Internet stats as at June 2008, Egypt holds a 2nd position (formerly 3rd) with 8.6 million users, then Morocco dropped to 3rd position with 7.3 million users.
However, South Africa has maintained the 4th position with an Internet user base of 5.1 million (same as previous stats). Interestingly, Uganda moved from 10th position to 7th position, while Sudan dropped from 5th postion to 9th position and Zimbabwe on the 10 position.

Nigeria Bridges Digital Divide…
With 140 million residents, Nigeria is the most populated African nation. But with the sparsity of broadband access and a digital divide between cities and rural areas, is it any surprise the country ……
I saw that coming and I am a major evangelist of “take advantage of it while its still new and growing fast.” With the various fibre optic projects working to provide broadband in Africa, the excuse which has always been availability of the internet will be a thing of the past. Nigerian establishments, take advantage of the internet while its still fresh. Before you know it, other firms from various parts of the world will also be competing for the mind of your possible audience. Catch them young!
@ladyreader - I appreciate your visits and comments:-) Sorry for not responding to your earlier comment…tell me, what other area do you think I should improve on with this blog?
@incorporate - I love that catch phrase: “catch them young”! Can we use it as our “motto” here on SN? Lol…
