This blog is so loved by the youths in Nigeria because of the useful information it provides in blogging, coding, tech and blogging tips. Don is worth his onions and surely deserves his rating.

 


UPDATE: The listing below was removed to avoid misinformation.
 Chiamaka Okoye is the brain behind the success of jobberman, the number 1 job website in Nigeria. Okoye is a proficient blogger with great blogging knowledge, accuracy of facts and integrity. She has been able to move this blog to an enviable height.

Her Blog was ranked 1st in the Nigerian Bloggers' award in 2012 as best Business/Career Blog both by Judges' choice and popular vote. It is waxing stronger even in 2017. This is a great feat by a female blogger, no doubt.

2. Loy Okezie

Loy Okezie - Famous Nigerian Blogger Loy Okezie has written his name on the marbles of blogging in Nigeria, with his blog Techloy, which is arguably the best tech related niche blog in Nigeria and on the African continent. Techloy is the right place to get authentic breaking tech news, mobile and social media trends within emerging African markets.

3. Oladunni Liadi

Oladunni Liadi is another lady that should be respected as far as blogging is concerned in Nigeria. She is the owner of Ladunliadi.blogspot.com. One thing about her blog is that it is hosted on the Blogger platform as a .blogspot blog. She has been able to prove a point with her blog that blogging success is not only dependent on the platform you use, as a lot of bloggers believe that for your blog to succeed, it must be hosted on the Wordpress platform.
Fashion lovers and fans of nollywood artists are particularly in love with this blog because of the accuracy of news, style of writing and the visual display quality. If you are interested to get the latest gist in the movie industry in Nigeria, Ladunliadi would be your best choice.
The fact that the blog currently has PR3, Alexa rak of 12,000; over 120,000 page views daily and millions in a month attests to the fact that it is a blog loved by several Nigerians.

4. Nmachi Jidenma

As more and more get to know about the concept of this site, its popularity is sure to triple in 2017 and beyond. As a respected female blogger who started sharing her ideas on her facebook wall in 2009, she later moved to Blogger platform and then to her current domain which now has PR5, Alexa 96,000; Domain authority of 49, facebook likes about 41,600, high subscriber base, etc.
The most interesting thing about Nmachi Jidenma is that she has gathered a lot of experiences working for world class firms like Google, Next Web, JP Morgan’s Technology, technoserve, etc before starting her own special blog. Her experience, no doubt, is playing a vital role in the success of CP-Africa. She is worthy of mention among the top 10 popular bloggers in Nigeria - 2017.

Ogbongeblog is really pulling crowds especially amongst the youths in Nigeria, because of the special tutorials on blogging and internet related solutions it provides to readers.

10. Segun Adekoye

Segun Adekoye is the blogger to watch in 2017 as his Naijapose is already making a bold statement in the fashion world. The blog is the fastest-growing fashion and lifestyle blog in Nigeria in 2017. I decided to include this blogger on the list because of the progress he has made within a relatively short period in the blogging world.

These are not the only performing blogs in Nigeria, but I have decided to include them on this list of the top 10 popular bloggers in Nigeria – 2017, because of their exceptional performance in 2017 especially considering their positions the previous years. I am going to come up with another post on a related subject next time to see how some other deserving bloggers can be featured.

  1. I think that you forgot the most awesome and popular guy. He is Onibalusi. I think he must be at the top.

    1. Ahmed, Onibalusi, no doubt, is a great blogger. He was featured on my interviews section early this year. However, this post is a list of bloggers who are making waves in Nigeria in 2013.

      Nigeria is such a great country with so many bloggers; so I looked for a way to feature the best for 2013. If I have the opportunity again, I might write another interesting blog for this site.

    2. Akuneme, Linda Ikeja has been mentioned over and over again in different blogs. I needed to give the list a fresh breath by considering those new ones who are doing very well but have not been given a mention.

    3. personally am not really sure the girl/woman should be listed, despite her popularity there is still some things she's doing wrong

      Delete
    4. How can you create a list of "the most popular" bloggers in Nigeria without including Linda's blog? your excuse of needing to give the list a fresh breath does not hold water.You might not agree with her blog,but not including her in the list is inexcusable.Her blog is THE most popular in Nigeria.And that's a fact.your list is sentimental.

  3. I thought I knew a lot of Nigerain bloggers quite well.
    Surprisingly, I see only two of my friends up here in this list- Joseph and Segun Adekoye.
    Apparently, there is more to Nigerian blogging than I thought there was.
    Brilliant post. I am sure I'd want to connect with more people on this list soon because I have found Nigerian bloggers to be great friends and very helpful people too. Besides the fact that the good ones are REALLY good!!

    1. Ambika, I am so glad you've been in contact with some Nigerian bloggers and found them to be good people. Nigeria is such a country with hospitable people (even though some Western media are hell bent at giving them bad names). There are always a mixture of good and bad people in every country.

      I am friend to Mustafa, Wijdan Rohail and quite a number other bloggers from Parkistan and India, including Jane Sheeba, Chitraparna Sinha, Ahmed Bashir, Sandeep Kumar, etc. I would encourage you to build more relationships with us. We love reaching out and helping people.

      I am glad that at least two of your friends are on the list. With time, you will get to know more Nigerian bloggers.

    2. Derek, Thanks for pointing that out. Don Caprio is a great blogger. He has even been featured on my Interviews section too. His blog lost out because two younger bloggers that were doing well had to be considered on the list. That is not to imply that he didn't deserve to be on this list.

  12. You think about Uwillcgossip own by Williams Edia. He or her is really doing a great job, they're up to date and have so many other ways to entertain Nigerians, You need to join them on BB and see what i'm talk about. On Linda's case, she has done well, but i think this should be about other up and coming blogger who are making waves within the Nigerian Youth.
