Nigerian Female Bloggers Are Making Waves In The Blogosphere! by Orikinla(m): 11:18am On Jun 21, 2007
Nigerian Female Bloggers Are Making Waves in the Blogosphere!

Suddenly more Nigerian babes and ladies are blogging and making the Nigerian blogosphere sizzling with hot posts. And they are attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Most of their blogs are what I call scuttlebutt blogs or daily social gist and tidbits blogs. And Bella Naija leads the pack, followed by Linda Ikeji and company. Adaure is still in a world of her own, because she is like the Oprah Winfrey of the Nigerian blogosphere in her subject matters. Queen Ebong and others are still exciting and thrilling.

The most profiled Nigerian female blogger still remains Sokari Ekine of Black Looks.. And Funmi Iyanda would be more enlightened if she spends some quality time with Sokari.

There are Nigerian female bloggers as young as 11.

There are over 400 Nigerian bloggers and quite a small number for a nation of over 140 million people. Even South Africa and Kenya have more bloggers than Nigeria. There are over 5 million Nigerians in America, UK, and other developed countries with more advanced Internet services, but only an insignificant number of them are blogging. The professionals among them do not have websites like the American and European professionals. Even lawyers, medical doctors, and engineers are blogging in the developed countries while the Nigerian professionals are missing in action. Why? Some sources said most Nigerians in developed countries are actually illegal immigrants who prefer to avoid public exposure, lest the immigration authorities would discover them and none of them wants to be deported.

I want to see more Nigerians blogging, even if they are gossip blogs, they would be worth visiting and reading 24/7.

You can monitor and evaluate Nigerian blogs on Nigerian Weblog Ring and Nigerian Blogs Aggregator.

I don't know why Nigerians like making a big deal out of something that the rest of the world does so easily and without fanfare. I blog, I don;t make a big deal out of it. Why should we? Most Americans wont even know the word blogosphere cos all they do is write, share with their friends who do the same and it gets popular. Here, it's like, OMG, Nigerian A is blogging! Nigerian B's blog is a hit!

So? Who cares? Really?

Orikinla, for some time I have actually followed the progress of the blogging thing in Nigeria. I started out with Funmi Iyanda's blog after I saw the address on her TV show and since then I developed interest because all of a sudden it was as if a whole new world was opened for me.

This became my inspiration for a small project which I'm currently working on. A close look would reveal that it is actually a clone of Nigerian Blogs aggregator.

I was actually making use of Nigerian blogs aggregator but I noticed that it had a couple of bugs. So I did some research and dug up this software. It's actually an opensource web based feed aggregator

Blogging and the Internet are wonderful things that have revolutionalized the way people interact and we must always remember that.

E.G: If it wasn't for these two things (this post is about blogging) then I never would have known someone like you exists, not to talk of holding a discussion with you. Hope you get my point.
