    Quick thoughts without seeing the url:

    Make sure the basic on-page SEO is done right. If you're using Wordpress then the Yoast SEO plugin will put you on the right track.

    Keep adding content to your blog as well as getting backlinks. Make the content well written and target long tail keywords for quicker results.

    Consider creating videos, putting them on YouTube and including a link back to your site.

    The site loads veeerry very slowly, you might want to consider better hosting.

    I would also lose the multitude of footer links. As for linkbuilding, you shouldn't go too aggressively about that before on-site issues are addressed. Also, what are you trying to rank for, and where?

    Besides commenting what else have you done so far?

        You should consider a .ng domain and hosting from a company with servers in Nigeria.

        I think that your main concern now should be content and less about building links. The site could use a blog where you write on various Nigeria University topics, student life, and so forth.

        Don't overdo blog commenting and stick to niche forums as much as possible. You could try bookmarking now and then on some of the top bookmarking sites http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...2-pr8-pr1.html but focus on content.

        The site looks solid, you could work on your design, but other than that I think you will rank well.

    looks like you already got rid of the footer links. I'd recommend you start getting active in forum and do further blog commenting. Add you site to directory listings of similar sites. Most importantly, use some tools to find out your competitor links on keywords you are trying to rank for and go out do some of the same link building...
