Let them keep deceiving gullible people with below $2/day bul1shlt statistics. Naija is way too exposed and smart. Just that our literacy level and human capital potential is intimidating some countries.

Nigeria deserve it, we really use the net and we are ready to spend on it.

Incredible

but if we can change this in to percentage south Africa could be number one........Nigeria 57.7million people on internet over 170million population and south Africa with 25million users on internet over 47million population..........if you know the percentage you could see the difference

But Somehow , Nigeria ought to be higher than that . considering the fact that Android phones are now cheap (Thanks to Tecno And Infinix)

nothing so special with Nigeria having more internet users than France and Britain of course we've got the more numerical advantage in population.

Nigeria has close to 3times the size of the two countries.

that's the entire truth,nice observer,thanks

This happens as a result of unemployment in the midst of job vacancies, statistic has it that an average unemployed youths in Nigeria spends 45MB daily, jumping from one job site to another and from one company website to another submitting C.V.
I fell in that category and many others are with me, if you doubt it then enter Job section on Nairaland and view for yourself, not to talk about the fraustrated ones that have turned to custom officers over night scamming people like MTN...every where you go



i tentatively believe that We have every reasons to rank #1

exactly what I was going to write, but your own comment is to brag because you are a south African but I was going to post the same because it is the fact, besides i have nothing to gain in Nigeria toping the list and nothing to loose if not, the question is, what is you and I doing with the internet, acquiring more knowledge or wasting time?



#WiseUpAfrica.WeAreOne

Those who skul in France wh position una dy

Interesting development!

Kk

I believe it o. Someone like me eat and dine on internet

Its people like me that celebrate the falling prices of Oil.
I still feel Agriculture and Computer Industry are more lucrative than the Oil industry.
Well speaking for the Computer Industry, Nigeria reaching 57 million internet users is a stepping stone into what we will see in the future.

Glory be to God

Most people use like 6 techno phones and buy like 100naira worth of data on each for each month.
All join noni. Internet users association of naija.
