The president of Nigeria already has 126k fans on facebook http://www.facebook.com/jonathangoodluck and 1700 comments for each of his daily posts.

That's impressive considering that his account is just a couple of months old.

It's interesting to see that 1.5 Billion of people have access to the internet today.

The first thing I thought when reading the title ("Graphs don't lie :) ) was:

"There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damn lies and statistics." Presumably, graphs fall under "statistics".

Based on that graph's numbers (dated 2008) combined with each country's 2009 population census (a percentile or two off, I know...):

  Nigeria: 15%
  United Kingdom: 75%
  Egypt: 17%
  South Africa: 8%
  Sweden: 85%

Is it really fair to say that people in China have access to the Internet? Maybe it's better to say that they have access to some AOL-ized version of the Internet, not the actual Internet itself. The difference between an open Internet and a closed one is not just a small difference of degree; they are entirely different things.
