I've experience Nigerian type in and search "facebook login" on Google before logging into their account.

This screenshot shows the number of hits the above search term gets on Google servers so you can have an idea of the level of ignorance when it comes to the internet.

@Topic. Yes sometimes, Google probably has the highest level of integrity when it comes to the internet.
'GOOGLE KNOWS EVERYTHING, INCLUDING INTERNET SPEED" LMAO! grin

It's not true. Up to 98% doesn't know that Google is the fastest website. I think it opens in less than 5 seconds. The only people that know this is probably web developers.

Here is what is true. Most people in Nigeria and indeed in the world type in a confusing word everyday in google to make sure the spelling is correct.

As for me, I use Nairaland to gauge internet speed. Any time NL is delaying to load and open, I will know that something is wrong. The speed of NL is actually very impressive. And when I resolve my internet connection, NL will always be the first among all the websites on my browser tabs to open, even when I refresh it last.
