Looking for someone in Niger or visiting

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!

Visiting the Air Mountains and Tenere

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!

Traditional desserts Niger

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!

Traveling to Niamey Niger

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.

Gaming in Niger part 2?

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!!!

Gaming in Niger?

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!!!!

Which dishes best represent the cuisine of Niger?

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!

Realistic Visa Turnaround Time for Americans?

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.

Need Help with Lyrics : Surbajo by Les Filles de Illeghedad

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the lyrics to the song "Surbajo" by Les Filles de Illeghedad. I've been searching online but haven't had any luck.

I was able to find on thir bandcamp a short part of the song :

Original LyricsEnglish Translation
Madamzana tofa igarakanadonassnen danag garwantahan MilowlawanMadzana as chenanet ar mezaki nmassdaranijakadnet ogdan ad lawaghanEguess adashwanen tallagwenWhat am I going to tell you?She is more beautifulthan white cloudsfilled up from the great oceanswhere the lightning shines.What can I say about her teeth,which are brilliantly white.Her hair is as long asthe stem of a treefull of water and bending.

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics or could possibly help me with them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Are you coping with the high temperatures in Niger?

Hi people of Niger, my name is Tijmen, a reporter for the Dutch newspaper Trouw. This summer I'm covering heat / high temperatures all over the world, and I'm really curious about stories from you. Is the summer a bit bearable there? How do the temperatures affect daily life? Please share your experiences – and send me a PM if you're open to a short video interview.
