Dressing well is in the DNA of the typical Nigerian. People from this part of the world like to be unique. They like to be recognized for their tastes when it comes to clothing. This phenomenon has led to the popularity of top fashion blogs in Nigeria. The leading portals have millions of followers who have subscribed via RSS feeds. Some people do not use RSS option but follow a site in social media so that to get the latest scoop. Many factors will cause a particular blog to become popular. The core matter behind popularity is usually the publication of good articles.

In blogosphere, content is king. What separates the well-known bloggers from the mediocre ones is simply content. On one hand, there are sites that have extremely valuable articles. These not only have well thought words but also have the right mix of pictures and videos. Therefore, those who do not have time to read the entire prose, will look at the graphics and be able to get the gist of an article.

A Nigerian fashion blogger needs to feed his flock with the right mix of content. If he delves so much into international styles, he will lose many readers. On the other hand, if he is 100% local, his platform will lack diversity and this can be a turnoff to some readers. When it comes to styles for men, the blogger in question should not fail to have articles that are wholly dedicated to agbada. This is the national attire for men in this country. At any one moment, many Nigerian men can be seen in this attire.
