By Segun Adekoye -In the latest rankings by Alexa, Nairaland is seen to move upwards from the 8th position to 7th position. While Twitter moves down to the 8th position, falling just behind the most popular internet forum in Africa.

With over 1 million registered users and over 1 million posts made, the site continues to define the trend of articles, news, information with a front page that determines how viral it gets. Owned by Nigeria’s Seun Osewa, Nairaland’s articles and posts are seen globally including Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Sweden where the site remains one of the most visited.

The Micro-blogging platform Twitter is widely embraced by Nigerians, who keep in tab with the latest news on the microblog. The number of Twitter users in Nigeria are a little less than the numbers of registered users on Nairaland. Facebook remains the most visited website in Nigeria, leading the likes of Google, Yahoo and Youtube.

The screenshot shows that Nigerians or people resident in Nigeria have recently visited Nairaland more than they visit Twitter.



Being the most popular Nigerian site and having more influence than Wikipedia in Nigeria, one cannot but keep crossed fingers and wait to see what innovative ideas and unique features that Nairaland would add to its ever-growing site to help it solidify its position as Africa’s first.

I don't believe the popularity nairaland has over twitter.

Though more people visit nairaland more than twitter but twitter is an household name like facebook base on BB and smartphone use in nigeria.
