Hello I am apart an organization that's looking to stop Youth Violence. I'm post this here in hopes that someone could point me to any active news stations, podcasts, radio stations in the country(Burkina Faso) and their preferred language. Please any lead helps!

Is it safe to visit Niamey?

Hey, black American here looking to talk to someone from Niger. I want to get a personal perspective on what's been happening there. If you want to talk feel free to PM me.

Quick question that is driving me a bit crazy as someone who knows a bit of French. Since it is pronounced Nee-ZHER, and French is spoken in the country, why hasn't an "e" been added to the end of the country name, to be Nigere? I guess that may necessitate an accent over the first "e" also? Thank you.

As of 31 December 2024 the US 🇺🇸 Embassy in Niamey is temporary closed without any reasons, leaving many with questions.

Does anyone knows the reasons or has any clue on what is going on and when can we expect normal operation?

💔💔

Hi Nigeriens, I was hoping you could point me to your favorite Nigerien musicians. I know quite a bit about the Touareg musicians that hail from Agadez, but was hoping you guys could tell me about other musicians from, perhaps, other Nigerien cultures that are popular in Niamey. I'm from the Horn of Africa and been listening to the likes of Mdou Moctar, Les Filles de Illighadad, Tinariwen, for a while now. Love your country. TIA

Hi, I am from poland, i wanted to ask you for forgiveness. On polish discord server I used your country's name and they banned me for using according to them "bad word to say about black person". I told em that i am only saing name of your beatiful country, but they said that is only a excuse. Thats why i wanted your opinon.

So in the future I want to go to Niger. Where in niger should I visit , which towns, villages , cities and natural beauties should I see . Obviously I wanna go to Niamey but idk where else to go .

What would be my best way fo get to Niger, my closest airport is Newcastle, second closest is either Leeds Bradford, teesside of Edinburgh.

Are people from Niger ok with brits (asking this on all the subs I'm posting on because we aren't liked in some countries)

Does it happens?

Hello, I am working on a Geoguessr map with some other people. It is a map called A Place Name World (APNW) where it only shows locations that has a sign or anything that says the name of the city/town you are in. There are currently no locations in Niger at all. We would be looking for someone to create a photosphere in front of a sign that says a name or town in Niger.

This is an example from Nice, France: https://maps.app.goo.gl/v9mGNNDkrsjNEbe47

This would be amazing if anyone could do this!

Hi all, I'm an Indian American guy with a deep love and interest in Nigerien culture and especially the scenery. I've been to Morocco multiple times, my favorite places were the culturally Amazigh places in the south. I would love to experience the Tuareg equivalent in Niger. Djado looks fascinating and the Air Mountains/Tenere look beautiful. I am curious about how safe and doable it is to go up there. I see tours online that would go up there but not sure what the security risk in that region is. I'm personally way more interested in those areas than I would be in Niamey specifically. Thanks!

My family and I take turns cooking from countries all over the world. Next up is my week with Niger and I'm struggling to find a dessert. My issue is when trying to find recipes from Niger, Google tends to spit out Nigerian recipes. Now my question is are there any desserts that come from Niger and don't need special equipment? And since Niger and Nigeria are neighbours do they share similar quisine? Thank you in advance!

Has any American recently traveled to Niamey in the past 3 months? How was that process for you.

Has anyone recently gone to Niamey Niger? What was the visa process like? Did you apply for the visa through Washington DC? How long did it take for your visa to be approved? I have seen mixed reviews and little to no information online.

Share some things you love about Niger. Maybe a food, a place, a cultural aspect...ect.

Mine is the weather. I absolutely love that transition from November to January when the country becomes cold with harmattan and the river is full ! <3

Hey guys! The other day I posted some questions about gaming in Niger and I am grateful for the answers that I have gotten, however there’s a couple questions that I still have. They are:

In what years did gaming become a thing there?

Was it in the 2000-2003 era or 2004-05?

Were video games a thing there before 2000?

Thanks again for your answers!!!

Recently discovered a song by Etran de L'Aïr titled Imouha, and I really want to know the meaning of the word in English, can anyone help me?

Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Niger. My questions are:

What is more popular? PC or console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!

What do racing game fans in Niger play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

In general, what games are played there?

Thanks for your responses!!!!

Hello Niger! I am doing a cooking challenge in which I cook food from a different country each week. Niger is coming up soon and I am looking for help working out what to make. Throughout the week, I have time to make a few main dishes, as well as sides, breakfast, snacks, and maybe dessert.

So far, I am interested in making:

• Djerma stew

• Dounguouri soko

• Dambou

Please let me know what I should add to this list. I would also love any links to authentic recipes if you have them. Thank you!

Wanted to see if there were any Americans who’ve applied for/received a tourist visa for Niger within the past few months, and what the overall turnaround time was for that?

I’m planning on going to Niger with a small group at the end of this month and was originally told our fixer can get the visa for me and I didn’t have to apply at the embassy. However, toward the end of August I was then told that this actually is not possible and I’d have to apply the regular way. I went the next day to the embassy in DC to drop off the application, and they said my passport should be back in time but no guarantees. I’ve tried calling and emailing the embassy for an update but they are a bit hard to get ahold of - the phone just rings forever or I get a busy tone.

If anyone has recent experience with this or can tell me how long they waited for the visa to come back I’d really appreciate it, getting a bit nervous about having to rebook flights and everything.
