In continuation of the review of Nigeria's most visited websites, I just thought I should make an update about this topic. Note that these are the most visited Nigerian websites according to Alexa ranking which is based on tools and calculated traffic and may not be a perfect way to measure the actual traffic for a website. However, the Alexa ranking is well respected by website owners and advertisers and if Alexa's tools are fully utilized by the end users, it will give a much better result for users.
Anyway, according too Alexa's ranking, these are the most visited websites in Nigeria and according to these results, it means that Nigerian forums powered by smf, Nigerian newspapers powered by Wordpress and Classified websites still carry the most traffic in that order.
