While other areas are being crowded with many respectable partners (think of group commerce like Allnaija, QluQlu, Dealdey), the business of local search in Nigeria remains an open door for anyone to enter. While many firms are focused on Lagos, the Northern states and Eastern states are yet to get connected.
The reality of this business is that it is expensive and the ROI could take long. Nigeria is not primetime for most Internet businesses; that could change within months. Traffic does not equal high business. But in the midst of this search space challenges is Connect Nigeria which continues to find a way to stay innovative by offering new products in a well designed web environment. They are expanding into jobs, local listing, media, among others.
