UNILAG twins host over 71,000 users on Lagbook

Twin brothers, Chidi and Chika Nwaogu, 300 level students of Physics department, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, have blazed the trail in the Nigerian social network blogs by hosting over 71, 000 users in their social networking blog, Lagbook, a social discovery for youths.

The Nwaogu brothers started Lagbook two years ago (2010) with determination to do something special and different from social networking platforms like Facebook.

According to them, the social discovery site, Lagbook means ladies and gentlemen book and users, especially the youths to form new experience and also meet new people.

“The site which started with 3,000 members now has over 71,000 users, and is currently expanding daily. One main feature of Lagbook is that it’s totally different from facebook. One major difference is that facebook suggests users to you but in Lagbook, you pay to get yourself featured,” held Chidi and Chika.

Speaking further, they said: “We also give room for people to advertise their goods and services, pictures and profiles. Lagbook is still expanding since inception and our advice is that if you’re not on Lagbook, you ‘re missing the fun because it’s a new world entirely.”

What is lagbook? And why will anyone compare it with nairaland.what do you learn from lagbook? Abi is it jus to make fake fwnds? Mchewwwww(walks away)

@poster. Nairaland isn't the best around, quite true! Lagbook will also not be everything to everyboby.
And if Lagbook gives you everything why are you stll here?

Don't criticise other people's ideas, only you can suggest ways to improve and that's only if you must!

I for one love this planet called Nairaland and the wonderful people living in it !!!

Come to think of it, wonder what criteria or criterion is used in moving topics to d front page, and i've observed wit utter dismay some front page topics,this one included...Cant we the nairaland community vote for topics who should be on the front page?. . . And that lagbook if it was close to good enough,dont you think other universities would have stormed it?Or say it'd have have raves in many social outlets in country?#just saying sha

Why lagbook? Must it have the -book suffix? Imitating facebook! Same thing with Nollywood...culled from Hollywood!
Imitation is limitation! Until we learn to be original in our businesses, we won't break the bank!

I wonder ooo! bt let give it up 2 dem for creating something

LagBOOK - faceBOOK.... Must they use the "BOOK".
What's the difference anyway?
Can they make me ditch facebook to join them?

Comparing Lagbook (a social network) to Nairaland (nigeria's information hub) is just dumb!

#reads comments and walks away#

The concept of NAIRALAND is unique and different from most forums have seen around thus the high patronage.

Would've given this so called lagbook a chance if not that it's a cheap, washed-up, exploitative imitation of Mark's FACEBOOK

Never heard of lagbook b4....

lagbook kor lagbus ni

there is nothing radically different about Nairaland. It is just like everyother discussion forum, it is not social networking site like FB, 2go and co, it is what it is- a discussion site. If I were to compare Nairaland, it will be with discussion forums like Naijapals, Nigerianvillagesquare and some newspaper sites....guy if you use them, you wont be so eager to sing the praises of Nairaland.
The name Lagbook to me is a turn off, it is so uninventive and uncreative to use thesame suffix with a known social networking site. That to me, took away the "wow factor", calling it Lagbook makes it come across as thesame generic old shit. I heard the guys lifted heavily from facebook too, from font type to alook-alike Logo and colour. They have to step up their game. And Why use Lag to prefix it anyway, that too limits their reach, why should a UNN student for instance be bothered to join since it is clear it is only for Lagosians anyway? The concept is 4uck'd no amount of propaganda go sell am jare!

Are you so foolish to the extent that you are always searching for gbagaun?

LAGSHIT.

If Mark never invented Facebook, they would have called it Naijaisland.

I hope they have their in house server

no relationship between the 2

Why must we always copy?

So cos Mark Zuckerberg developed thefacebook (which developed to facebook) when he was in in Havard, these ones too go for them own.... Rather than celebrate them, I wld say they ar rly dull and slow... zero ingenuity, zero sense....I'm so disgusted!

Lagbook...yuck!
