NONSENSE!!!!!!

Isn't this population size dependent?

Exactly! Basically this means South Africa has the most internet users which is +-60% of the population using the internet while Nigeria has only 25 to 30% internet users depending on which population number you use.

Nigerians celebrating nothing since 1960

That's the beauty of statistics, depends on what you are looking for. For business purposes you need raw numbers i.e. $1 per person on the internet gives you $57M in Nigeria and $25M in SA ( though this is rather simplistic) where would you rather be?
If you also look at the percentage 34% penetration in Nigeria shows a lot of unmet need and underserved population unlike SA that is about 53%.
But if you are looking at level of development then rate of population using or with internet access will be a factor.

@Op
If you want to do proper comparison between the UK and Nigeria, you SD should use % of the population. For UK, it is about 83% while Nigeria is just 36%. Raw numbers give no information until they are processed.

No brainer. It's only a reflection of population. We're about 10th most populous country in the world, internet users will most likely follow that pattern. These are absolute numbers

You can make such comments after converting the numbers for each country into percentage of total population and let's see whether Nigeria still ranks 10th.

Ok so we are higher than France and UK in internet usage what's the good thing there if we are still wallowing in economic and financial setback or is it the internet that our grandma's in the village will eat undecided,lets be pragmatic for once sad

Lazy bones. Who is the 'we'. Just say 'I'. The internet is just a tool like your grandma's hoe or cutlass in the village. It can either be used to till the land of global commerce or as an ornament to sloth and poverty. The stat also shows there are more Nigerians than most willing to farm while others wait for manna from government their god. Mister, the river of poverty has two sources: Ignorance and laziness. Your grandma cannot eat her implements but she should use them to eat.

Our population is far higher thereby necessitating the claim. Its just a game of number but I feel if its in terms of percentage, they'll have higher percentages.
