Africa And The Facebook Craze; Why Are You On Facebook by alienvirus: 9:06am On Jul 25, 2013
Facebook has become an integral part of the lives of millions across the globe. Pretty much everyone with access to a computer or smartphone has a profile on the social network and, somewhat sadly, tend to play out their daily lives through it.


In the latest Facebook statistics gathered by Social Bakers, it was found that just over 50 million Africans are users of the site. When put into perspective, that means 5% of the continent's total population of roughly 1 billion is registered and active on Facebook.

Now for the burning question: which country in Africa has the most Facebook users and who comes in close behind them?

Population: 75,507,308
Facebook Users: 891,140
Percentage of Population on Facebook: 1.2%

OP, thanks for this info. naija has a serious problem. only 3%? this goes to show that alot of people are still ignorant about the internet, there are many computer illiterates and conventional illiterates in naija and many more are still being produced as the country pushes to attain the 200 million population mark. what a proud country!!
