1. Linda Ikeji

Linda Ikeji. |
Linda Ikeji must be tired of seeing her name on top of every list,NOT! linda is the face of blogging in Nigeria. When an average Nigerian hears “blogger” Linda Ikeji comes to mind.
The entertainment blogger has built a blog so big that it has become number one online source for corporate advertisers in Nigeria. Her Countless number of exclusive stories has made the
former model the most authoritative news carrier on social media.
Linda Ikeji has grown from a blogger who covers celebrity stories to a celebrity-blogger.

Jide Ogunsanya is well respected among his fellow Nigerian bloggers and this creates a lot of speaking gigs for the brilliant entrepreneur.
3. Noble Igwe

Noble Igwe-360nobs.com |
I remember i used to see Noble Igwe's face and name everywhere not realising he was the founder of 360nobs.com, an entertainment and lifestyle website. Noble Igwe once said; where others see “showbiz”, I see “showBIZ”.
Most successful bloggers move on to greater things once they get their breakthrough, Noble Igwe is not interested in public speaking, he has started to expand the 360 group and one of its new venture is 360Delivery. 360Delivery is not your regular courier service, they can get you roasted plantain if that is what you want, beat that DHL)
4. Uche Eze

Uche Eze-Bellanaija.
|
Uche Eze was the first Nigerian blogger i really noticed.I remember tons of years ago,i used to see her blog,it was very small then.Uche founded BellaNaija in July 2006. In Uche Eze’s words, what started as a way to kill boredom has now grown to become Nigeria’s number one lifestyle blog. Uche Eze has since featured on Oprah Winfrey show, CNN and other reputable platforms around the world.
Every Top Blog in Nigeria seems to peak after some time but thanks to the brilliance of Uche Eze, Bella Naija always has the fresh car smell.
5. Ovie
If this man gives your song a bad review,you are literally in trouble! The Notjustok.com music tag could be heard almost anywhere Nigerian music is played, even on radio stations “shame on you, Mr DJ”.
Ovie is Nigeria’s number one music blogger, thanks to his efforts Notjustok has become a brand name in Nigeria as it is known by almost ever Nigerian youth.
6. Japheth Omojuwa
I must admit this is the first time i am hearing of Japheth Joshua Omojuwa.Japhet is a blogger, social media activist and a political commentator. He started his blog back in 2009 and it has since become a home for valuable socio-economic and political expressions.
Japheth Omojuwa’s opinions are highly respected across the world. Blogging, public speaking, social media consulting and to crown it all, Japheth Omojuwa is currently a lecturer at Berlin’s Free University ( Africa: Democratic prospects and challenges).

Chude Jideonwo is also the director and founder RedSTRAT which has three arms; RedSTRAT Original Content, RedSTRAT Communications and The Future Project (The organizers of the prestigious Future Awards).
Chude Jideonwo remains one of the top Nigerian bloggers.
8. Loy Okieze
I've always thought Loy must be a very clever guy.Loy Okieze is a very successful Nigerian Tech blogger. When many Nigerian bloggers were carried away with the entertainment niche, Loy Okieze chose tech and his blog Techloy.com has become the number one source of information on the happenings in the Nigerian IT world.
9. Onibalusi Bamidele
This is another Nigerian blogger that i had never heard of until today.Onibalusi Bamidele started his blog back in April 2010 (YoungPrePro.com). It was re-branded as WritersinCharge.com in March 2013.
Bamidele Onibalusi has written for several top blogs in the world and he is an inspiration to writers all over the country and beyond. He has been featured in Forbes, Digital Journal, Millionaire Magazine, amongst a few.
In his own words, Bamidele Onibalusi helps writers take charge and he is well rewarded for it.
10. Makinde Azeez

| Makinde Azeez-Naija Loaded. |
This is the first time that i have actually seen a picture of Makinde Azeez,i guess some people are just low key or don't like to be out there.I am one of those.Makinde Azeez is the founder of Naijaloaded.
Naijaloaded was once a forum but a couple of bad experiences with hackers led to the decision to convert the forum which had amassed over one million users in such a short period of time into a blog.
Naijaloaded was created in 2009, and it has grown to become one of the top websites in Nigeria. Makinde Azeez might not be as popular as some of his Nigerian contemporaries but building a successful internet business is no mean feat.
With over 500,000 users on Naija loaded, Makinde Azeez is definitely one of the top bloggers in Nigeria.
This list of top Nigerian bloggers is subject to change as circumstances change, if you think you or any other person deserve a mention on this list, drop a comment and we would include such person on our watch-list.
So there you are guys,the top 10 bloggers or most powerful bloggers in Nigeria.I feel some names are missing that should have been there,but overall its not a bad list..what did you think?
