As of April 2020, Nairaland ranks as the 788th-most-visited website in the world and 6th most-visited website in Nigeria, according to Alexa Internet, with 83.0% of its user base coming from Nigeria, followed by the United States at 4.3% and India at 3.8%. It is the second-most visited local website, next to online bookmaker Bet9ja.[2][3]

It currently has over 2.58 million registered users with over 5.98 million topics created to date, and it is estimated that approximately 3% of Nigerian Internet users are registered on Nairaland, compared to Facebook's 11 million Nigerian users, which corresponds to approximately 20% of the local Internet population.[4] Registration is only necessary for posting, commenting or liking posts.

On June 22, 2014, following a successful hacking attempt, Nairaland went offline briefly.[5] The hackers were able to gain access to, and wipe the contents of, the website's host server and backup. Three days later, it was back online after some data had been recovered from a remote backup. However, user posts and registration data on or after January 10, 2014 was lost. Users with lost accounts were required to re-register.[6]
