SSL is recommended for only sites that have to deal with payment transactions. So it's not necessary to put SSL in that blog you go to just read about Bbn. Oversabi dey worry some people. undecided

If your website isn't dealing with sensitive data, you do not need SSL. Now the question boils down to what you regard as sensitive data. In the past SSL was an expensive route to go through and only a few startup sites bothered to follow that route with one of the cheapest licenses like the Positive SSL license which is about $15 per year. The more serious licenses call for much more serious verification processes and are as expensive as $500 per year or even more (those sites you see with a green bar, respect them).

Now most host service providers in Nigeria offer free SSL with the basic hosting plans, thanks to cPanel's Auto SSL feature, Let'sEncrypt and Comodo. So if you have a website, ask your host if they offer the free SSL from providers like LetsEncrypt.

I don almost end this post with "Best regards"... I think sey na mail I dey write undecided

Because they would rather steal the money than to do the needful with it. It is very risky doing business with a Nigerian website and the world knows it!!

If you investigation, you will realize that it is only Nigerians that patronize websites own by Nigerians, which is not good for an online business.

Nigerians are terrible in managing anything due to corruption!! When someone in Europe asked me where I'm from, I tell them Africa. When they insist I claim Ghana. I'm ashamed of my moribund country called Nigeria.

It's less than that
Re: Why Does 95 Percent Of Nigerian Websites Run Without SSL ? by Nobody: 10:41am On Apr 27, 2018
Because they don't think it's necessary or they think it's expensive. Let's encrypt is free but many web masters don't know how to install it.

It is very simple

It has to do with your backend settings..

Contact your host company or your domain provider

Nairaland DOES NOT use ssl. You're connection is in fact very insecure an susceptible to MITM and other attacks. Anybody listening in on your connection can get your password, username and all data you send to NL. All it takes is an attacker with a motive...
