Welcome to r/Nigeria!
This sub is about Nigeria (Nigerian life, geopolitics, sports, culture and history), and about Nigerians in the diaspora. It's also a light-hearted sub in the usual Naija fashion. Posts are welcome in English or Pidgin.
Nigeria is a country located in West Africa. It is the most populous country in Africa with a population of about 201 million people. These people (as well as our weather) are incredibly diverse which contributes greatly to our cultural wealth.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this company. Despite their heavy spending on advertising, their service deserves zero stars. They initially promised a shipping date of November 30, 2024, with a delivery window of 10–20 days. In a rush to meet their deadlines, I promptly sent them everything they needed. However, once they received my payment, their tone and story completely changed.
They later claimed the shipment left on December 5, which still offered a slim chance for it to arrive before Christmas. But when I followed up, they kept coming up with excuses and finally admitted it wouldn’t arrive in time, contradicting their initial assurances.
Their customer service is non-existent—once they get your money, you’re no longer a priority. Additionally, one of their representatives tried to enforce a “mandatory” 10% insurance cost on the value of the items. When I questioned this and asked when insurance became mandatory, she quickly dropped the issue.
Overall, I would avoid this company at all costs. Save yourself the headache, frustration, and back-and-forth nonsense. Their promises mean nothing, and their service is deeply unprofessional.
Thanks to a new integration, you can now use OPay to make payments directly in Naira. Here’s how you can take advantage of this game-changing feature:
In October 2024, OPay and AliExpress teamed up to allow payments through the OPay app or card. This means you can say goodbye to the hassle of creating virtual dollar cards and converting Naira to Dollars.

Kenneth had only one goal and that’s just to say what is politically convenient. Playing the gallery when fundamentally, his former opposition party is weak and in crisis. How do people take him seriously when his own house is not in order? My problem is that he is justifying Kemi’s actions and rationalizing it for the sake of politics. He is first of all a politician before any thing. I trust you that if he is being hired by APC he will sing high praises to Tinubu. Then you also have election denialism too where he both says that the ruling party manipulated people to vote for the ruling party and simultaneously say that it was a “technical glitch” against them. You can’t have it both ways. If you want to win 2027 you have to go beyond playing the gallery or else you are just like the rest.
Do you know any reliable company in Lagos that I can use?
Hello. I am an American who is fascinated by Yoruba culture and history. I have been learning about ashe, iwa, and itutu. I often see itutu described as kind of “coolness” or composure of a person. Someone with itutu may be calm under pressure. I’ve also seen it related to aesthetic beauty and having a noble air. Is this accurate? I’d love to know your perception of itutu. What does it mean to you?
Omo head don hot 😳😓
No matter how Bashir and co tried to gaslight Nigerians about the achievement of Buhari, we would continue to resist it. Posterity must know that Buhari's rise to power was one of the worst things to happen to Nigeria. After him comes Tinubu, in the order of bad governance.
Mid 2020 I bought a 20,000 mah Romoss power bank due to power electricity in Nigeria to help keep my phones on, and honestly it was my best decision at that time, though it was costly then compared to other brands but it served me for 4 years, some of my friends changed theirs like 4 times, though not the same brand, but I used mine till this year 2024. I bought the 30,000 mah last month after the old one wasn't serving 100%. I'm never leaving that brand. What's your power bank experience? And what brand will you recommend to a friend.

Hey guys I’m looking for anyone interested about talking about finance I’m trying to be familiar in the terms and understand how some certain things work like e.g portfolio management,risk management, stock markets
The UN recommends around 300 policemen for every 100,000 citizens (2006) but Nigeria has historically lagged behind that having 187 policemen for every 100,000 citizens this is extremely low and puts a lot of strain on our NPF.
The current Administration has recently directed the police force to triple the current rate of recruitment from 10,000 annually to 30,000 annually for the next 6 years at minimum.
From the NPF:
"Nigeria’s current police strength is just over 370,000 officers, which is insufficient based on a ratio of one officer to about 600 citizens.
The UN-recommended ratio is one police officer to almost 450 citizens."

I just wanted to know what all your thoughts are about Highlife, a music genre originated from West Africa which dominated the Nigerian music market in the 1970's
Hello, i was wondering if someone would be able to send funds to my kuda bank and i can paypal them the funds.
Nigeria’s problem isn’t the leaders, it is the people themselves. Nigeria can never be better if our values, fundamental mentality and goals don’t change. Additionally, convention education can’t solve Nigeria’s problems. There’s multiple evidence of well learned people using their knowledge to exploit the country. We need a mental revolution first then every other thing comes next. A good president is nothing with terrible citizens.
I’m looking for a gift for one of my employees who will be spending Christmas alone, away from his family. He’s a 38-year-old father of two and one of the most hardworking, kind, and respectable individuals I know. He has a great sense of humor, is easy to talk to, and is deeply compassionate about his family and his work. He recently moved into a new apartment with minimal furniture, so I’d like to get him something thoughtful that will lift his spirits, make his space feel more like home, or simply brighten his holiday. I’m limited in how much I can spend for professional reasons, but my wife and mother-in-law are also brainstorming ideas to help make his Christmas a bit more special. So, any thoughtful gifts are greatly appreciated.
