Blogging starting to take off in Nigeria

by Duncan Riley

Blogging is at long last starting to spread across Africa, with the recent launch of Nigerian Bloggers, a blog aggregator covering…well Nigerian Bloggers.

The site current has 129 members and continues to grow as blogging starts to become more well known in the country.

Site founder Mr. Muyibi, told AllAfrica.com that the network is aiming to increase and sustain blogs from Nigeria and to act as the nation’s blog aggregator with different categories including technology, business, news, blog, search and a host of others.

“Our main aim is to encourage Nigerians to start blogging about topics that interest them,” he said. “This entails saving Nigerian blogs from isolation, which has been one of the main reason why Nigerians are discouraged to blog.”

    Hey that’s cool to hear about! Thanks for the update! I think I’ll explore the nigerian blogosphere when I have more time later on as I am interested on how they view the world.
