1. Jumia.com.ng: Jumia is Nigeria’s No 1 and most trusted online shopping destination which is home to a wide selection of products of fashion, home appliances, kid items, electronics e.t.c all at great prices.

5. Nairaland.com: Like Lindaikeji.blogspot.com, Nairaland has been able to maintain its place as one of the top Nigerian websites Nigerians visit. Nairaland provides a discussion forum for Nigerians to discuss about thousands of topics that are important to them.
6. GTBank.com: GTBank was ranked third place as one of the top customer friendly banks in Nigeria by KPMG in 2014. This may be one of the reasons why its website is still visited so much and was able to still clinch the 6th place in the July.
