Remmy Nweke, a senior reporter on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) with Daily Champion, a national daily in Lagos (Nigeria), recently threw a spotlight on NigerianBloggers.com bringing to fore a phenomenon that has been making waves in other parts of the world – blogging. He headlined his write-up “Blogging as a trend in Nigeria

Blogging has come to stay, and has become an important part of my every day life. It is the same with many Nigerians though some choose to spend time scaming others, online. The number of Nigerian bloggers has been low over the years. Blog aggregators like NigerianBloggers.com is however giving such Nigerian bloggers a platform for sharing their views with the rest of the world. I see the site this way: it is not enough to own a blog – it is important for like-minded people to know that your blog exists, and read your blog entries. If you write well, and regularly too, you are likely to have some following (readership), in no time.

So, what Nigeriabloggers.com does is to share the headlines of your blogs to some more audience.

Well, I can only hope that Africa as a whole does not take too long to catch up with the rest of the world, in terms of technological development. We’ve been far behind for too long… 🙂

One single thing that makes blogs a bit depressing is… SP@M. Some unsrupulous individuals have made a job out of posting useless (and off-the-topic) comments, in a bid to direct some traffic to their websites where they sell things like viagra and the like.
