iGbadun (pronounced ee-gba-doon) is a Nigerian Online Community that connects people all over the world. iGbadun.com alows you to maintain your existing relationships by connecting with old friends as well as making new friends. The name “iGbadun” was derived from the yoruba word (a Nigerian language) for “enjoy”.

Like other social networking sites, you can share your photos, listen to music, talk in the ever-amusing and ever-controversial anonymous blog…and much more. The site has a music lounge that features the from newest songs to some old songs, from Fela to Lagbaja, from 2face to 9ice, and from Styl-plus to Faze. However, you can only listen to the songs with a Firefox or Safari browser, which I think doesn’t make for a universal appeal, as people who use Internet Explorer can not listen to music on the site.

iGbadun.com also offers job opportunities for people interested in making a difference in the growing Nigerian social networking environment while having fun.

The site started since January 2006, but has not experienced good traffic to make it stand the competition with other social networking sites in Nigeria such as Legwork and Naijapals. For one thing, the site has limited features that has prevented it from penetrating into the Nigerian online community. Features such as forums, groups, videos, instant messaging, live chat, etc are getting a lot of attention in Nigeria’s social networking sites.

Since the site doesn’t seem to have a vibrant online community, it raises the question: Is iGgadun.com Loosing Appeal from Nigerian Social Networkers?

In my opinion, iGbadun.com needs to introduce more interesting features that would attract members to the site. Apart from this, the site has a nice interface and design with unique pictures of people dancing that tells that the site is about enjoyment and fun - yeah, iGbadun…iEnjoy!
