That's approximately 43 million Nigerians. I was even thinking it's lower than that. That's a great improvement! Just hope the electricity, Internet Providers, price of
connectivity, etc are settled in a way that will favor the ordinary Nigerians. This statistic proves that there is lot to be done to make it available to all.

We are in the information age!

Mobile web accounts for The majority of that figure, i believe.
Re: Only 28.2% Of Nigerians Use The Internet - CNN by Akanbiedu(m): 1:22pm On Sep 01, 2011
That's some number, about 45million Nigerians.

ISPs make at least $1 billion dollars turnover in a month if we assume an average of N3000 subcription per month!

Kudos should also go to the Mobile telecoms --- the likes of Glo, MTN, Airtel and of course ETISALAT, these guys brought the internet into our palms.even children in primary and secondary schools now have the internet within their reach,
Re: Only 28.2% Of Nigerians Use The Internet - CNN by DamiKhojie(m): 2:06pm On Sep 01, 2011
That's still more than the populations of most countries and considering Nigeria is a developing country it's still pretty good.

WHY ARE WE COMPARING NIGERIA USERS WITH THE LESSER DEVELOPED OR UNDER DEVELOPED NATIONS OF AFRICA? FOR GOD SAKE WHY NOT LOOK IN THE DIRECTION OF MORE TECHNOLOGICALLY DEVELOPED NATIONS. THERE ARE OTHER USERS APART FROM YAHOO BOYZ, WHO ARE DOING BETTER THINGS ON INTERNET. LETS ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO COME UP WITH BETTER THINKING OTHER THAN POWER FAILURE, LACK OF NETWORK, HIGH COST PROVISION, ETC WHICH MAY THE REASON OF OUR POOR PERCENTAGE OF INTERNET USAGE.
I THINK OUR PERCENTAGE MUST BE LESS THAN 10%. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACTORS ABOVE AND OTHERS LIKE VSAT. MAIN ONE ETC COST PROVISION.
YOUTH LISTEN TO MUSIC ON INTERNET, OLDER ONES READ NEWS, OTHER INFORMATION, SOME WATCH FIRMS ETC.
WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE MORE USAGE
