2. Loy Okezie
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. Loy Okezie’s blog was founded in April 2008 as “Startups Nigeria”, but has since metamorphosed into the pace setter in the Nigerian local and African tech news arena. Okezie has been a contributor on BBC’s focus on Africa magazine as well as providing analysis on CNN.
Loy’s experience as a Business Administration graduate has contributed in no small measure at giving him an unprecedented edge over other bloggers in the tech arena. Techloy currently has PR4, Alexa 24,500, domain authority of 43, over 400,000 page views monthly and more than 40,000 unique visitors monthly.
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
Nmachi Jidenma, no doubt, has firmly established herself in the blogging business, with her blog CP-Africa, which has become a domain for getting latest happenings in Nigeria and the African continent. “Celebrating Progress Africa”, which the acronym stands for, is the owner’s dream place of projecting the good side of Africa to the world. 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.
5. Jide Ogunsanya
Jide Ogunsanya is the young Microbiologist-turned-blogger, and the man in the pilot’s seat at Ogbongeblog, a multi niche blog with interest in writing blogging tutorials, media and money-making ideas. His knowledge of Java Programming has helped to position Ogbongeblog as a place to acquire some basic SEO skills. 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. This guy deserves a mention here. He is also the initiator of “Bloggers Lab”, a Facebook group for bloggers. Ogbongeblog currently has PR 3, Alexa 37,000, Domain authority of 41, Subscriber base over 11,228, average Pageviews of 220,000 per month.
6. Myne Whitman
Myne Whitman is one of the few successful female bloggers in Nigeria in 2017. She has successfully groomed her blog Naijastories to the delight of literary work lovers. Naijastories is the haven for original writing, poetry, fiction, news, and literature and events. It is a website set up and committed to promoting Nigerian Fiction. It is a social network site for Nigerian writers. Currently, naijastories has Google PR – 4, Alexa rank - 200,867, Domain authority of 34, Traffic - 100k Pageviews a month, Subscriber base - Over 10,000, and the blog quality is great. Myne Whitman sure knows her onions and should be commended for a nice job, especially for making it in a country where blogging competition is high, and where there are a lot of the male folks in the blogosphere.
7. Uche Eze
Uche Eze is another woman who has influenced blogging positively in Nigeria. Uche’s BellaNaija is one of the most visited blogs, making her one of the top 10 bloggers in Nigeria in - 2017. Bella Naija was founded in July 2006, and has grown tremendously since then, up to the point of becoming a household name in Nigeria.
BellaNaija is purely an entertainment blog designed to be the best music, TV, style, beauty website in Nigeria. Bella Naija enjoys PR5, Alexa5800; domain authority of 57, huge subscriber base and high daily pageviews..
8. Chude Jideonwo
Chude Jideonwo is the owner of Ynaija.com, a place for showcasing Nigeria contents from Radio, TV, magazines, etc.. This site has made a bold statement online and now enjoys a huge readership. Ynaija is one of the hottest websites for Nigerian youths. The site has segments for lifestyle, entertainment, politics, daily news, opinion, enterprise, TV, Teen, etc, to make visitors enjoy the time spent there. Arguably one of the most visited sites in Nigeria, Ynaija enjoys PR 4, Alexa 10,000; Domain authority of 48, high subscriber base and several thousand unique monthly pageviews. It is one of the most popular sites in Nigeria in 2017.
9. Joseph Adediji
Joseph Adediji (Josylad) is among the young bloggers making waves in the blogging business in Nigeria. Joseph is the owner of Blogging Tips Today, a blog that has ‘empowering and helping bloggers build profitable blogs’ as its sole aim. This blog incorporates elements of blogging tips and strategies, writing viral blog posts, making money blogging, traffic generation, social media and search engine optimization into its system. This relatively young blogger is going places and creating positive influences online. He has been featured on great blogs like Comluv, shoutmeloud, Basic Blog Tips, etc. Josylad is one of those top bloggers that are emerging in 2017.
Bloggingtipstoday currently has PR 3, Alexa 95,000, Domain authority of 32, high daily pageviews and though the subscriber base is not as great as the other site mentioned earlier, the site is making substantial progress.
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. Segun’s Naijapose was established only in September 2012, but now has Google PR - 1, Alexa rank 78,000; Domain authority of 25, Traffic - 250,000 pageviews a month, and Subscriber base – over 8,000.
Conclusion
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. For now, time is really against me, I have to rest my pen and my keyboard. Please share your previous views and feedback by leaving a comment below.

I think that you forgot the most awesome and popular guy. He is Onibalusi. I think he must be at the top.
ReplyDeleteAhmed, 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.
DeleteNigeria 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.
You didn't mention Linda ikeji. Her blog Lindaikeji.blogspot.com is the most visited entertainment blog.
ReplyDeleteto me the list is better, linda is not a professional blogger.
DeleteAkuneme, 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.
Deletepersonally am not really sure the girl/woman should be listed, despite her popularity there is still some things she's doing wrong
DeleteHow 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.
DeleteI thought I knew a lot of Nigerain bloggers quite well.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, 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!!
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.
DeleteI 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.
Nice Post, its really motivating but i think you really missed some blogs which should surely be among the best in this list
ReplyDeleteAyoola, Thanks for your observation. Like you know, there are several great bloggers in Nigeria.
DeleteI chose the best out of the several great ones. I wish I could extend the list to accommodate some other ones.
Nice list...they all deserve to be on it. Hope to make the list soon.
ReplyDeleteKanyi, That's exactly my prayer for you. It is possible for you to make the list someday. All you need do is to believe in yourself, remain focused and work harder. Sooner or later you shall move up the ladder and your name shall be mentioned too.
DeleteYou did not mentioned my educational website, @ www.dailyschoolnews.com
ReplyDeleteWould have been more great to have an educational website there!.
Nice list.
Isaiah, Unfortunately your blog did not do better than any of the blogs listed in this post. If you perform better next time, you might make the list. Just add a little hard work and remain consistent.
DeleteYou actually Did Forget SOme Guys Though.
ReplyDeleteWhat Happened to Doncaprio.
That Dude should be 4-6th on that list
Ya! you are right, I visited his blog daily. He is awesome guy.
DeleteDerek, 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.
DeleteI know this guy, 'Chude Jideonwo'. I have watched a show of him on discovery channel. He is the guy which creates a musical sound with his mouth. I am not sure that he is.
ReplyDeleteRaj, I don't know much about Chude's other talents. It's possible he's the one or someone else with the same name. However, Chude was included on this list for his blogging exploits.
DeleteSounds interesting... Good to see bloggers from other country.
ReplyDeleteTanya, Nigeria has a lot of interesting and talented bloggers. You can make friends with us; we are nice people.
DeleteNice list, though you didnt include the right people. And you missed me also.
ReplyDeleteKingsley, Let me know about your blog URL, PR, Alexa ranking, Domain authority and subscriber base. If it meets that of any of the blogs listed here, I will write a related post on my blog and include your site.
Deletewww.healthable.org do the research yourself bro.
DeleteYayyyyy! Naijapose made it. Whoop whoop. Thank God u pple r gradually recognising upcoming bloggers who are speedily making it.
ReplyDeleteI know GISTville will be there someday too. Nice one!
Michelle, Hard work pays. Naijapose is on the list because they've worked real hard. Gistville could easily make the list next time.
DeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteKaynut, thanks for bringing this to my notice. It is noted and I will work on it.
DeleteI think you forget to mention one of the most popular blogger Don Caprio. Doncaprio.com is his blog URL.
ReplyDeleteSingh, The case of Don Caprio has already been discussed here. Thanks all the say for mentioning it.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a great list you 've got up there! watch very keenly bro, www.obasimvilla.com will be making the list in 2014. I'm dedicated to achieving such feet within the shortest time frame. I love Jide too he is a great personality
ReplyDeleteYeah, Obasi. Thanks for your insight. I sure have some other great bloggers that would make the 2014 list.
Deletebhai jan me ne aik blog banaya hy ab tak us par 62 post ker di hy par daily visitor 20 - 30
ReplyDeletehi atey hy kia problem hy chech ker k bata dy ap ki mehrabni ho gi me ne ap ki seo tips b use ki hy. blog ka address yeh hy http://www.desiurduhit.com/
I am an upcoming blogger!I want to know how to be popular and famous through my blogpost.for now,I write basically on skincare.thanks,hope to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteFashina, you need to deliver quality content to your readers, use social media to promote your blog and yourself, render helpful services to people, build relationship with people in your niche, organize giveaways and contests on your blog, etc. They will help to increase your popularity online.
DeleteThanks for the mention! naijaPOSE is really growing and we are appreciative of our readers who are from all over the world. The best of us is yet to begin.
ReplyDeleteAs the Nigerian blogosphere continues to blossom with quality new blogs like GISTville, I believe the 2014 list would be a very tight one.
Thanks again Efoghor Joseph.
Segun, congratulations for making the list. I encourage you to keep up the good job and keep feeding your audience with quality content.
DeleteI am nigerian blogger @ editweaks.com and I envy you guys coz am yet to get there, I just hope my envy brings up some positive motive for me to excel in my blogging career, meanwhile, thumbs up to all those listed here! Keep it Up!

Abiodun, it would really be nice if you follow them and build a better relationship with them.
DeleteWow... Good compilation! but from my own point of view, I think Jide Ogunsanya should be at the number two position while Loy should be at the first place and apart from that, you ain't having Linda Ikeji blog on your list... Why? Linda Ikeji blog is one of the most visited blog in Nigeria having an alexa world rank of 3,646 and 19th in Nigeria...
ReplyDeleteWatch out for www.teyusfreedomtobrowse.com . I will be there soon!
Olutayo, Thanks for your observation. I have already explained in one of the comments above, the reason why I did not include Linda Ikeji's blog. That does not rule out the fact that her blog is very much respected in Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteHawiluv, Yes Linda Ikeji is great and a respected name in the blogosphere. I already why her name is not here.
DeleteCheck out this new post and her name is number one on the list.
http://www.bizsuccessguide.com/2013/08/top-25-bloggers-in-nigeria.html
I decided to do this new post because a lot of people have made cases for some bloggers they felt should have been here.
Great job you are doing! new to blogging. just 2 months with 100 plus pageviewers. small though. how do i make people to comment on my blog and create mailing list? my blog is www.Abanobiike.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIkebuoha, Congratulations on successfully setting up your own blog. The easiest way for you to get comments is to write very useful posts, ask your readers to comment on your posts, join blogging groups on facebook and make useful contributions,visit other people's blogs and leave comments there. They would take note of you and also visit yours to make comments too.

Great post. Any thoughts on doing a list of news aggregation blogs? There are some heavy on text, some focusing on video and a mix as well. Here's an example. http://gokeadepoju.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI however invite you to Jarushub (www.jarushub.com), a Nigerian blog on career, mentorship and political economy. It is a fast rising blog that some people have tagged the most influential blog in Nigeria given the caliber of people that associate with the blog.
You may want to check it out.
