Thats impressive considering the cost of access. Can we get 1 dollar profit each from 2 million users monthly? thinking in business sense

well if u ask me i'll say itz more than that
they just gave a statistics

Kazey, you and Seun know better!

I will not reveal my trade secrets gratis online.

But I know three young Nigerian Web Wizards who are going to become Internet millionaires very soon. And I mean millionaires in dollars!

@Orikinla hahaha I understand . Its all good.

Thanks for the info, at least i know how much i will make if i market my info-products to nigerians. thank you for helping me discover the huge potential of my info-business in nigeria.

The access to the Internet should actually increase along with the increasing mobile phone users in Nigeria.

The Minister of Communication is just concentrating on GSM and seems to be clueless on how to boost the mileage and patronage of the Internet in Nigeria.

The Internet will fetch more revenue for Nigeria if the Minister of Communication knows what to do.

The desktops should replace all the TV sets in Nigeria and provide fast speed Internet Access to subscribers who should pay for Internet Access Recharge Cards just like the GSM.

Nigerian TV Stations and Cable TV Operators can use the Iinternet to broadcast their programmes and the Radio Stations can do the same.

I am working on broadcasting News Live on my http://nigeriantimes..com and on the main Nigerian Times website before October 1st. Because, I am going commercial this year.

Who is an 'internet user'?

Is he someone who has access to the internet from the comfort of his bedroom?

Or is he someone who has to travel five miles to his nearest cybercafe, and while there experience the joys of server downtime so that he is only able to open his mailbox before his purchased time online is used up?

I'll be keeping the bottle of celebratory kunu firmly corked, thank you.

@orikinla, i can see you are into internet biz, i beg how did u desing a customised template for your blog?, dats cool, make u tell me please. Also i dont mind some tutorials oooooo,

I suggest we divide that number by 2.

Oriki,

Great blog you've got there. Never knew one can manipulate Blogger to that level.

given from where we started from its wonderful, and great news hopefully our next administration consentrate on things like this.

2 mill out of the whole population? Not impressed.

How many percentage of those people are doing the right thing?

Over 80% of that figure are SCAMMERS

How do you measure internet users? Is it by the amount of internet browser users or registered ISP subscribers?

Estimates are made from number of ISP subscribers, number of phone lines, number of internet cafes (mostly in case of developing countries) and by the number of unique IP connections coming from the country.
