RE: Venezuela and Nigeria Climb the ranks for Steemit.com traffic
I love this sort of geographical analysis.
I'm wary of operating in stereotypes but Nigeria is also one of the capitals of online scammers.
Hopefully that's not coming to steem!

Think about it this way, Nigeria has a reputation for online scams, which is why Nigerian credit cards are considered high risk. That makes it harder for honest Nigerians to engage with the online economy -> it is a place with a real need for cryptocurrency, where there are no chargebacks.
Fair point.... hence why I said I was cautious about stereotypes.
Nigeria also has the largest population on Africa, maybe makes growth there less remarkable.
V. Difficult question to answer for any population: what motivates people to join the platform!

To a degree but web ranks accounts for that fairly well. It's a much bigger element for China, India and the US where the online population is absolutely enormous, but Nigeria is in the top 10 online populations so it is a factor somewhat.
Thank You
Hello I don't know where you are from but don't spread stereotypes like that especially not on steem. I'm a medical doctor and web developer. I founded @Air-Clinic the only healthcare facility on this blockchain. I know alot of other well meaning Nigerians here like @Ehiboss, @Ogochukwu, @Eurogee, @Ejemai, to mention but a few. Nigerians are adding alot of value to this blockchain. Please don't play that card again. 🏥💙♨
Fair comment. I've also met some nice Nigerians on here.
I did qualify the stereotype point at the start of the comment.

Yah, but the good people in Nigeria far outnumber the bad people in any aspect.
I will say that scammers are everywhere in the world.
Fair point!

Exactly! This is steem ! Any Nigerian here is legit and have worked very hard to earn their reputations. I hate stereotypes!
