This is a compilation of the top best online forums in Nigeria 2023 based on popularity, activities, accessibility, information and usefulness to the Nigerian people. This latest list is also based on the new medium.com online forum ranking in Nigeria 2024.

Online or internet forums are different from blogs and traditional websites because users are allowed to register as members and participate in publishing posts. In most forums, posts are written by ordinary members and reviewed by admins before it will go LIVE or are brought to the front page. A forum is more interactive than a Blog so most readers use it as a platform to air their views on certain topics.

In Nigeria, blogs are more rampant but the number of forums is gradually increasing making the internet community more interesting.

Some of the qualities of the best forums in Nigeria include;

  • Huge information database on a wide range of topics
  • Easy accessibility
  • A huge number of active members
  • High rate of member activities
  • Constant update
  • Frequently updated articles
  • Good Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  • Unbiased posts
  • Educational articles and
  • Popularity

Without the above qualities, a forum will find it difficult to make it to the top in Nigeria where the competition is getting tougher by the day.

So which forums are the best in Nigeria?

Early Face is another popular online forum in Nigeria that delivers timely news updates, online business tricks, free browsing cheats, school gist, relationships and so on.

4. NCT.com.ng

Nigeria’s Creative Talents (NCT) forum is primarily focused on tech and webmaster-related articles. The forum has hot topics on webmasters, blogging, programming, graphics design, business, entertainment, education, health, fashion and so on.

Although the forum is gradually losing its popularity, traffic and Alexa rank probably because of the change in URL, it’s still among the top forums in Nigeria as of today.

5. Jackobian.com

Jackobian is Nigerian largest Cryptocurrency forum owned by Precious Mmeso, a student of Federal Polytechnic Nekede Owerri. It started as a normal student forum but later, the owner added Bitcoin and altcoins trading and articles to it.

Today, Jackobian forum has many talented admins including the popular “Gad” of Jackobian who moderates content posted by other members.

There was a “scam” claim some time ago by a visitor who narrated how he was scammed on the forum but I believe that is the only forum where visitors are being scammed. As a matter of fact, in the Nairaland forum, there are so many scams and fraudulent activities by bad-minded members. That is why it’s important to trade with caution and always make use of the escrow method while doing business with a stranger online.
