i have noticed that the SA, Kenyan, somali and ghanian online forums i have been to do not have so many people on it at least not like we have here in nairaland. I wonder why it is so. Is it that online forum awareness is low in these countries? Or that the people of these countries are not too aware of their politics, culture and environment? Or what is it really why the SAs, kenyans, ghanaians etc hardly go online to discuss?

You can open saland.com or keland.com. You might be lucky.

@bolded

Shouldn't you be asking the SA, Kenyans and ghanians directly when you visit their forums about their low turn out on their online forums? How are we Nigerians suppose to know? We ain't in their mind. Maybe the turn out on their respective online forums is low because some of them are here on nairaland being obnoxious trolls. Who knows? Abeg let's worry about more important things.

. OP you're funny, who won compete with Naija?! 180million people, to Ghana who's not more than 25mill, SA not up to 60 million.
Combine all these countries together, their population no reach Nigerias own

this has got nothing to do with population. I am not saying all of their people should be on their forum but at least like we find here, some people have to be aware and concerned about their society.

If you go there, you will come to notice that topics that have spent months are what you will find in their front pages. And the reply are always very few.

Don't u think idleness is also anoda reason why we have more Nigerians on online forum and social networkin site?

i do not think so. If anyone is idle, he cannot afford the internet.

@OP, in the absence of any proof that supports your assertion here how is one suppose to form an objective opinion?

visit their forums and compare

@OP
Although i know that no forum in Africa can be as busy as Nairaland but i think you're going to the wrong forums. You have to look for the biggest forum in those countries just like Nairaland. You probably found the small forums.

Kenyans do not have a forum culture.Kenyans are twitter freaks.However,there are forums like
Mashada Forums.If you think Nigerians have political mudslinging.Meet the Kenyans.They have invented a whole new language here.
Wazua Forums.One of Africa's oldest forums.It focuses on investment but things get controversial sometimes.
Kenyalist.

Once you have tasted Nairaland you tend to find other forums very slow and extremely boring.That is my dilemma.
I tried Ghana and left before I even posted anything!Only my username is there.
I love Nairaland so much because there is a lot of online activity.Very vibrant.It got into my blood to the extent that I have to come here all the time to catch up with the latest even if I don't comment.
I think Kenyans lack a forum culture but trust me they can talk till morning.I on the other hand hate twitter.So I prefer Nairaland cz our forums are slow.

You guyz are worrying about the wrong thing.Nigeria is dying because more than half of the entire population(of nig from a certain region)have failed to educate themselves and are therefore crippling the efforts of the south.That's why people will tell you more than 70 out of 100 nigerians live below the poverty line despite our claim to be industrious.Outsiders wont understand that the north is the clog in the wheel of our progress.
JUST IMAGINE A NORTH LIKE THE SOUTH
