Yes that is true but since most people know about it, everyone tries to grab a piece of the pie(myself included) they are established now years and have big budgets for SEO etc to dominate. It is one of the hardest niches out there to get into because of it, you need huge traffic to make a good income in Adsense so this is why.
They sell direct ads; they own 2 of the biggest authority websites in Nigeria so many Nigerian brands, companies and individuals go there to run adverts, especially for products related to young people and women.
These guys are not relying on Adsense as a source of revenue. Last time I asked Linda Ikeji for her Ad menu, I discovered that the large banner located above-the-fold is N1m/monthly. The ones at the sitebars are 500k/monthly. Companies/establishments pay a lot of money to advertise on her website because she has a very large audience (approx. 800+k unique daily visitors) It's the same strategy that Seun is using. If you have a very large audience, monetising it won't be a problem.
These guys never really worked on SEO, they were just lucky to be around during the golden age of the Internet (between 2003 - 2007). Then only a handful of Nigerians were into the business. The industry was so damn soft, unlike today. Check out Naijaloaded too, it would've been bigger than Nairaland if not that it was converted to a blog a few years ago.
