Top 10 of Nigeria’s Leading Tech Blogs (That You Actually Need in Your Life)

Why Tech Blogs Matter More Than Garri During Hard Times

Let’s be honest—tech is no longer that “extra” thing nerds in glasses talk about in dark corners of cybercafés. It has become the main dish of life. From how you wake up (thanks to that alarm app that betrays you every morning) to how you hustle for money (online banking, POS, crypto, freelancing) to how you gist with friends (WhatsApp, X, TikTok)—tech is the glue holding it all together.

Now here’s the catch: technology moves faster than NEPA light disappearing when you’re about to blend pepper. Blink once, and you’ve already missed three new updates, one new startup, and five new AI tools that claim they’ll replace your job. Just last week, I was about to send an email, and boom—the light went off. By the time PHCN brought it back, three new AI tools had launched. I couldn’t stop laughing. That’s where tech blogs come in. They’re not just websites—they’re survival kits. They explain the confusing stuff, share updates before your uncle’s WhatsApp group starts spreading fake news, and even show you how to make small money online.

So today, we’re diving into the Top 10 tech blogs in Nigeria. These are the blogs that actually matter, not the ones abandoned since 2015 with cobwebs on the homepage. And yes, my own blog, Voob, also made the list—because we believe in practicing what we preach.

1. Voob (Of Course, We Start at Home)

Before you roll your eyes—yes, I added my own blog voob here. But hear me out. Voob.com.ng isn’t just a blog; it’s like that friend who translates “tech English” into plain Naija vibes. I built it because I know exactly how confusing it feels when you’re new to tech. Those tutorials that look like they’re written by rocket scientists? Forget that.

Back in 2014, when I first tried to host a website, I ended up crashing my laptop three times before I begged a friend to ‘help me fix the internet.’ That frustration is exactly why I started Voob—to save you from the problem I went through.

Here on Voob, you’ll find:

• Simple Guides: How to host a website, how to run ads, and how to pick the right theme—explained like we’re just chilling over suya.
• Funny Takes: Because if you can’t laugh while learning, what’s the point?
• Beginner-Friendly SEO Tips: Yes, you can rank on Google without growing grey hair.
• Wide Range of Topics: From coding to blogging to online money-making.

In short, Voob is like suya with pepper and onions—it gives you flavor, fire, and something to actually chew on.

2. TechCabal

If Nigeria’s tech scene were a movie, TechCabal would be the director shouting, “Action!” They cover everything—startups raising millions, fintech apps, government wahala, and even what Elon Musk is saying that day.

The beauty of TechCabal is that they’re not just shouting headlines—they actually break things down. You’ll understand how a startup in Yaba raised funding or why your favorite payment app suddenly stopped working. For investors, founders, or curious minds, this blog is like having a backstage pass to the Nigerian tech industry.

Think of them as Nigeria’s Wall Street Journal of Tech, except with more gist and fewer boring graphs.

3. NaijaTechGuide

If you want a tech blog that’s been around since most of us were still fighting with Java phones, it’s NaijaTechGuide. Launched in 2006, this blog is basically the “OG landlord” of tech content in Nigeria.

They focus on practical guides: buying electronics, reviewing gadgets, online shopping tips, and software guides. If you’ve ever Googled “best cheap Android phone in Nigeria,” chances are NaijaTechGuide showed up.

The charm? They don’t just throw specs at you; they actually explain whether the thing is actually worth pulling your wallet out for. In a country where fake chargers can roast your phone, this blog saves lives (and pockets).

I remember googling ‘best cheap laptop in Nigeria’ back in 2012, and NaijaTechGuide popped up. Let’s just say, without that blog, I’d probably have bought a fake laptop from Computer Village in Lagos State, Nigeria.

4. OgbongeBlog

OgbongeBlog is like that elder cousin who always knows the hacks before anybody else. Run by Jide Ogunsanya, this blog has taught countless Nigerians how to start blogs, tweak Blogger themes, monetize websites, and master social media hacks.

What makes OgbongeBlog special is its hands-on tutorials. You don’t just read theory; you actually follow step-by-step guides that work. For many Nigerian bloggers, Jide is the “first teacher” they had before diving deeper into tech.

Plus, the name alone—Ogbonge—already tells you it’s the real deal.

Honestly, my first blog header looked like a PowerPoint slide. It was OgbongeBlog tutorials that helped me stop embarrassing myself online.

5. Techpoint Africa

Now, if you want a blog that mixes journalism, startup stories, and big-picture tech trends, that’s Techpoint Africa. This isn’t your average “copy and paste” blog; they send reporters into the field, interview founders, attend pitch events, and dig deep.

Techpoint is great for anyone curious about the business side of tech. Want to know how Nigerian startups are raising funding? Or how internet policies affect your hustle? Techpoint is where you get that scoop.

They’re basically the pulse of the African startup ecosystem, and their articles make you feel like you’re sitting in on industry meetings you weren’t invited to.

6. MissTechy

Meet MissTechy, the blog that proves tech doesn’t have to be boring. Tobi Ayeni, the brain behind it, writes with humor, sass, and creativity. When she reviews a gadget, it’s not just specs and numbers—it’s storytelling. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll know whether to actually buy the gadget or leave it in the shop.

MissTechy is a breath of fresh air because it shows that tech has personality. For people who are scared of “geek-speak,” this blog makes the whole thing feel fun and relatable.

When I first read MissTechy’s gadget review in 2021, I laughed so hard I nearly spilled my garri. She makes you forget you’re even learning tech.

7. Geek Nigeria

If you proudly wear the “geek” badge, then Geek Nigeria is your home. This blog dives into a wide mix of topics: gadgets, software, internet culture, and sometimes even entertainment news.

The vibe here is anything techy, anything trending, anything geeky—let’s talk about it. It’s not too formal, not too street—just that middle ground that keeps you coming back for more.

8. Mobility Arena

When it comes to mobile phones, Mobility Arena is king. Forget those random YouTube reviews from abroad—this blog focuses on real-world Nigerian usage. Because let’s be honest: a phone that lasts 2 days in the U.S. might barely survive 8 hours on Nigerian networks.

Mobility Arena tests devices, writes honest reviews, and helps you figure out which phone actually delivers value that won’t make your bank app cry. They also discuss data plans, networks, and mobile trends. Basically, if it fits in your pocket and has a SIM card, Mobility Arena always has the inside scoop.

9. TechCity

TechCity is like that hype-man who never misses a selfie moment and is full of vibes. They mix tech news, reviews, and video content, making it one of the more lively Nigerian tech platforms.

Their strength? Multimedia. While many blogs stick to text, TechCity brings energy through videos and social media. They cover gadget launches, events, and industry updates with a youthful, entertaining twist.

If you like your tech content with visuals and plenty of “gist energy,” TechCity will feel like home.

Conclusion: Pick Your Flavor, But Don’t Stay Hungry

If you’re a beginner, my humble advice is: don’t just read—apply. Look, I’m not saying you should start coding like Mark Zuckerberg overnight. But at least, don’t be that person who knows every tech gist yet still can’t update WhatsApp. Try small-small.”
