    The graph shows you internet usage by millions of users in total. Nigeria having a relatively high population, will of necessity rank high.

    However, What the graph does NOT show you is usage density - how many people per million (for example) have internet access? In that regard, Nigeria may not rank as high.

    Somebody: I agree, Internet penetration in NG is ~ 5% while SA is ~ 11%.

    Chxta: I think SA does, from the web scene to the mainstream IT world.
