Youngicee.com is one of Nigeria’s top ten ranking novel sites, known for its popular stories, including romance, fantasy, action/crime, comedy, supernatural series, etc. The site was created in 2015 by Oluwatosin Emmanuel Oyinloye and came into the limelight the following year, featuring popular authors, whose books were highly recommended/popularized. Despite the numerous challenges of acquiring readers, the site enjoyed large views and engagement. It amassed hundreds of thousands of readers, across Africa, Europe, Asia, and South America.
However, the administrators reported cyber attacks from 2022, which led to the site being inactive for months in 2024. The administrators fixed the glitches temporarily but the site eventually went offline again in October 2024. Despite these setbacks, Youngicee seems to have a loyal fan base with readers eagerly awaiting its return online. The site’s administrators have worked tirelessly to enhance its security features, hoping to bring the site back up, but the opposite might be the case.
From what I have gathered, I will tell you what to expect about Youngicee in this guide. Will the site ever come back up? What will happen to all our beloved stories?
But first, let’s take a deep look at the website again.

She doesn’t believe in God or take failure as an option, only to get involved with someone along the line, who changes her mindset about life.
