Top Nigerian Discussion Forums (Updated for 2020)
-
- Newbie
1. Nairaland
Nairaland is the largest discussion forum in the world, the third largest forum of any kind all also.
Since its creation in 2006 by Seun Osewa, the forum has achieved massive success over the years and has managed to keep its feet in the ground and stay afloat for more than a decade which makes Nairaland most likely the first forum in Nigeria and Africa.
Though one may confuse the name of this forum for betting site as a newbie judging by the naira in the URL (I know I did have that assertion about the name of the site or was it only me?). There is really nothing betting going on here.
Nairaland is Nigerians’ go-to place for the latest news in the world of celebrities, gossips, political discussions amongst many other things.
Interested Nigerian netizens as well as internet users from all over Africa and other nations of the world visit this forum so frequently that for many years, it has been the rank one of the top 10 most visited websites in Nigeria.
Fun fact: Nairaland relies on in-house adverts to sustain the upkeep of the site.
This occurred because at some point, Google disbanded their AdSense. This pissed the founder off and he decided to run on advert placements made on the site. The site hasn’t reverted the action since then as this actually proved to generate better turn-overs than the almightily annoying Google Ads’’.
One of the unique peculiarities of the forum is its classic look which has been replicated by many other forum creators.
Since creation, Nairaland has grown to having over 5 million discussions from over 2.5 million forum users.
2. Nigeria Bulletin
Nigerian Bulletin is a popular forum that focuses majorly on delivering the best contents for Nigerian netizens.
The most popular categories on the site are politics, metro, business and entertainment.
This forum has also been around for quite a while and as such has a large database of forum users with thousands of visitors on the site daily.
3. Gistmania
I wouldn’t say GistMania is all that popular within Nigeria but it does have a good number of visiting and regular users who garner scoops from the Nigerian sphere.
The forum is just as the name sounds, Gist + Mania (Passion). It is reputable for its insanely edgy contents. Gossips, rants, bashes, savages never lack on this platform.
The forum offers a great range of topics from news across and beyond Nigeria to funny tales.
Note: To create an account on Gistmania, one gets linked to NaijaPals. This is a social network so do not worry when you face that encounter. Once the naijapals account is created, a GistMania account also gets created.
For this, you might wanna consider killing two stones with a birth by creating a NaijaPals account firstly, activating it then inputting your log in details to Gistmania
4. Everyknows.com

5. NaijaPals
Naija Pals is a sister site to Gist Mania. It is a social networking site for Nigeria and Nigerians.
It has a good number of Nigerian users. The network is made up mostly of youths and teenagers from Nigeria. We could call it the Facebook for Nigeria.
Naijapals allows users to connect on a social platform made for Nigerians. The site has also stood for quite a while and seems to focus more on Nigerian music, film and news contents.
The discussion forum on NaijaPals can be quite immature with contents (from the demographic users) but it does have a lot of well-curated contents from journaling users.
6. Bestnaija.ng
This forum has been available on the net since 2010 as either Bestnaija.ng or bestnaija.com.
It features a social network, a discussion forum, a daily poll and even a though-provoking quotes on the site.
On BestNaija, there’s always something to do and this is one unique feature that’s kept the site running since its establishment.
It’s starts from that amazingly legible cover post on the site to the other activities you may take part in.
You are either solving a riddle, answering a poll, reading the interesting articles, adding up a new contact, sending a bestie a message or just finding what to do first altogether.
The BestNaija forum is that fun, yes, I know.

7. Nigerianbestforum.com
NBF is also one of the first forums in Nigeria.
With more than 1,000,000 posts already made on the platform by almost 400,000 members. The Best Forum can easily be rated among the top forums in Nigeria and Africa.
From the glowy green that can be found on the interface, everything about the forum speaks Nigerian and that is something to be proud of.
NBF, just as it’s age-long counterpart, Nairaland is home for discussions and deliberations made by Nigerians.
