UNILAG twins host over 71,000 users on Lagbook on May 24, 2012  /   in Education 12:14 am Twin brothers, Chidi and Chika Nwaogu, 300 level students of Physics department, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, have blazed the trail in the Nigerian social network blogs by hosting over 71,000 users in their social networking blog, Lagbook, a social discovery for youths. BY TOSIN ADESILE, UNILAG Twin brothers, Chidi and Chika Nwaogu, 300 level students of Physics department, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, have blazed the trail in the Nigerian social network blogs by hosting over 71,000 users in their social networking blog, Lagbook, a social discovery for youths. The Nwaogu brothers started Lagbook two years ago with determination to do something special and different from social networking platforms like Facebook. According to them, the social discovery site, Lagbook means ladies and gentlemen book and users, especially the youths to form new experience and also meet new people. “The site which started with 3,000 members now has over 71,000 users, and is currently expanding daily. One main feature of Lagbook is that it’s totally different from facebook. One major difference is that facebook suggests users to you but in Lagbook, you pay to get yourself featured,” held Chidi and Chika. Speaking further, they said: “We also give room for people to advertise their goods and services, pictures and profiles. Lagbook is still expanding since inception and our advice is that if you’re not on Lagbook, you ‘re missing the fun because it’s a new world entirely.”

Here's the previous discussion from the article talk page:

 * The author is from the univerisity. It just looks like an annoucement with mostly quotes from the twins. I'd say that fits in the category of a press release. --Ronz (talk) 18:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That's an erroneous way to describe a press release. It could be a result from an interview section, and was reported in form of a story. This article was written by TOSIN ADESILE (a possible student writer/correspondent/reporter for the newspaper) and not part of the company. The first three paragraphs are words from the writer, while the last two are quotes, so I differ on the idea that it leans totally on words from the founders. Any article that doesn't have words from the person in question looks like something not to trust, and you know this. Articles I read on papers often like quoting the people in question for authenticity and credibility. --Socialnerd (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

It's content is 5 paragraphs, not counting the repetition of the first paragraph.

The second paragraph is simply an introduction to the content that follows, presenting the twins' goals. There's nothing in this paragraph that could be used in an encyclopedia article about LAGbook, nor does it demonstrate any notability.

The third paragraph is specifically attributed directly to the twins, beginning with, "According to them..."

The last fourth and fifth paragraphs are simply quotes.

That leaves us with only the first paragraph: "Twin brothers, Chidi and Chika Nwaogu, 300 level students of Physics department, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, have blazed the trail in the Nigerian social network blogs by hosting over 71,000 users in their social networking blog, Lagbook, a social discovery for youths."

Taken at face value, the paragraph verifies the twins' names, the fact that they are twins, that they were at the time UNILAG physics students, and that LAGbook was a social networking blog with reportedly 71,000 users.

I don't believe this source demonstrates notability. --Ronz (talk) 16:39, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Given that the press from LAGbook is not reliable, I don't think we should present any information that is ultimately attributable solely to their press, such as the number of users. --Ronz (talk) 18:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
