Nigeria is Not Among Top 10 Countries of Bloggers

The first web log was created in 1997 before Google was created in 1998.
By population, it is embarrassing that out of a population of over 67 million Nigerians on the internet, active bloggers in Nigeria are not even up to 1000 when there are more than 172 million blogs on the internet. And Nigeria is not among the top ten countries of bloggers.

The following facts and figures are from Sysomos Inc, a Toronto-based social media analytics company. The company uses content of social media sites including blogs, forums and Twitter to create a real-time picture on how products, people, and brands are covered in those media sites.

Bloggers by Age

Not surprisingly, the most active bloggers are younger people who have grown up during the blogging "revolution", which started about seven years ago. Bloggers in the 21-to-35 year-old demographic group account for 53.3% of the total blogging population. This group is followed by the generation just behind them - people 20-years-old or under are 20.2% of the blogging landscape. This group is closely followed by 36-to-50 year-olds (19.4%), while bloggers who are 51-years-old and older only account for 7.1%.

By Country

 

It should not be much of a surprise that the most bloggers (29.2%) are located in the U.S. In fact, there are more than four times as many bloggers in the U.S. as there are in the second most populated country within the blogosphere - the U.K., which is home to 6.75% of bloggers.

Japan accounts for the third-most bloggers (4.9%), followed by Brazil (4.2%), Canada (3.9%), Germany (3.3%), Italy (3.2%), Spain (3.1%), France (2.9%) and Russia (2.3%).
