To those who have been leaving comments over the past two months, we will be discussing a number of topics that were raised throughout these awards in the coming weeks. I hope you’ll come by and participate in the dialogue. The best thing that came out of these awards is the huge numbers of Nigerian bloggers, old and new, that were discovered and we would like to thank all of you for submitting your blog names and the names of blogs you read so that we can begin to really build a strong community between all of us bloggers. So check back often, read a new blog, and get connected with your fellow Nigerian bloggers!
