Top Ten Richest Bloggers in Nigeria

The internet has become a huge market place in the last few years. And varying business models have taken off based on this fact. One of them is blogging, nowadays everyone seems to have a blog. Many bloggers are getting broke and leaving blogging to do other things mainly because they don’t have the patience to see it through.

A few bloggers however have actually made it big, from blogging.  If you are interested in blogging, learn all you can then, who knows you may be the next Linda Ikeji. Our metrics for calculating this is very simple, basically we check the worth of the blog on SiteWorthTraffic, how much the blog makes form adverts and Google ad sense. And if there are other sources of incomes the person has, we also check the worth of it. However, since we’re majorly looking at money made from blogging, our focus is on blog worth and blog income. You should know that the most influential bloggers in Nigeria are not necessarily the richest.

Without further ado, here are the richest bloggers in Nigeria and their net worth.
