History Of Nairaland by apholaby007(m): 5:56pm On Dec 08, 2015 |
Nairaland is an online community created
by Seun Osewa in March 2005. It is
targeted at Nigerians .[2]
Nairaland currently has over 1,400,000
registered accounts (August 2015), [3] and
is ranked as the 7th most visited site in
Nigeria (and the most visited indigenous
site) according to Alexa.com. [4][5][6]
Nairaland reportedly has over 55 million
Internet users,[7] [better source needed ]
corresponding to 32.9% of the entire
population. With Nairaland having a
considerable but unconfirmed number of
users based in diaspora, this statistic
suggests that a maximum 3% of Nigerian
Internet users are registered on Nairaland
compared to Facebook's 11 million
Nigerian users which corresponds to
approximately 20% of the Internet
population. [8] Nairaland, however, does
have a considerable number of unregistered
users, as registration is only necessary for
posting.
Figures published by Nairaland in June
2013 suggest that they had 16,668,654
visits from 6,845,453 unique visitors and
60,031,356 pageviews in the 30 days of
that month. [9]
2014 down period
Following a successful hacking attempt,
Nairaland went offline briefly on the 22
June 2014. [10] The hackers were able to
get access to the website's host server and
backup, and maliciously deleted all its
content. Three days later, it was back
online after some data had been recovered
from a remote backup. [11] However, data
from 10 January 2014 through the date of
the attack was lost.
Nairaland was stripped off its position as
Nigeria and Africa's most visited website a
ranking by alexa. Nairaland's position was
taken by e-commerce site
which rose a lot of issues in February Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nairaland |
