I started a new site called Nairasource and i got a lot of inspiration from Nairaland. It is more than just a forum, in Nairasource, you can chat and watch Nigerian movies and the intent of building it is not for revenue generation but to build a strong grass root movement of Nigerians that will change the face of Nigeria in the future. take your time and visit http://www.nairasource.com and be a part of this growing network of great Nigerians... we just started last month and so far we have more than 400 Nigerians from all over the world. we are also trying to host the first all Nigerian Online chess championship in our 1,000,000 capacity chess arena. God bless Nigeria and the owner of this site. This is a nice article…

We had a long and hard think about what to call our website before we started, and I do agree with a few people who say using the word "Naija" or "Naira" in the web address limits your audience. In our case that is what we wanted. We are offering a service to clients who reside in Nigeria. Our currency is in Naira. We advertise on Nigerian on websites & magazines. We are currently incorporating interswitch as another payment system for clients; again that is a Nigerian payment system. We had a few people comment on why we named our website thus, but to identify with Nigerians we had to use a Nigerian Name. Our target market is Nigeria.

See the details i got: Net Worth : $492859.5 Daily Pageview : 224306 Daily Ads Revenue : $675.15 That would mean that Seun ought to be making about $18,000 per month. That's good enough to be living in the U.S.A. Source: http://www.websiteoutlook.com/www.nairaland.com Well really Nairaland ought to be worth so much. See the details i got:

There is nothing wrong with having a business website that targets only a group of people in a geographical area. I doubt Nairaland's owner would have achieved so much success if he targeted the whole world. Making it a Nigerian thingy made me join and I'm sure it is so with most members. I run NairaBet.com and I'm loving it. It's my 22nd business website and from my experience since 2003, targeting a group of people in a geographical area is a smart thing to do. Yes, you will not create a facebook or youtube (how many world targeted sites are that successful) but you can make yourself a lot of money targeting Nigerians.
