Leading Financial Blogs in Nigeria, Africa’s Largest Economy
The recent surged in fake publications has impacted how the public perceived media platforms across the world. In Nigeria, blogs are synonymous with fake news and the majority of readers have to validate information on top platforms like Punchng, Thisday, etc before accepting it as ‘possible fact’. However, because of the sensitivity of financial information and implications on investment/business decisions, it is important to list reliable, credible and relevant blogs that put in the time to authenticate reports, analysis, and data before publication.
Therefore, Investors King has compiled a list of top financial blogs in Nigeria to help investors, businesses and start-ups narrow down the cumbersome process of sieving out relevant information and then double-checking to be sure it is real.
The rating takes into consideration credibility, product/service quality, team, relevance, and Alexa ranking.
