/r/Nigeria
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.

Here is a link to the video. This man planned and killed a crocodile in a golf course then blamed hunger and Nigerian say he did nothing wrong. Little little things like this is why we just can't go forward as a society.
I am Kenyan(20M). My family is moving to Nigeria for work(complicated). Any advice?
I know a few people who stopped doing that because they feel like their family is ungrateful. Its not a Nigerian thing, its a Global thing lol.
Whats your opinion on it. If your relatives are struggling do you feel like you need to help them?
I'll be spending 24 hours in Lagos. Would like to keep it chill, will be in Victoria island staying at the radisson. Can you recommend some good restaurants (coming from the states so please no international cuisine, would love some elevated Nigerian cuisine).
Any activities that don't include a night club or lounge? Maybe some good Shopping with local vendors, maybe a museum or historical site?
Thought it would be cool to see a Nollywood movie in theatres 😂
For reference I am a 39 year old woman, originally from Sierra Leone, currently living in the states.
YORUBA LAND is facing huge issues. From Impending Sharia Islamic Takeover To Skull Mining pandemic. The Government couldnt penetrate South East with their terrorist army they were resisted by the BLA ,so in anger they turned to SW , who is without defence and naked. Continue pedelling one Nigeria to your own peril , they are readily claiming SW states like infinity stones. It is well.
Take it with a grain of salt. I always wondered why obj had so many negative things to say about his former vp. Obi was too convenient for the target demographic.
It cost 45k a year if we're 6 can divide it 7,500 each.
Not trying to hate on his family, but I find this bizarre.
Hi guys , a friend of mine went to Nigeria and she was completely amazed by how nice people were and how much stuff their was to do! She loved everything and everyone she met but she said something to me that I also see said online a lot! She said when she would say to some ppl in Nigeria something positive they will always respond negatively for example : she was in Lagos and she said how she had fun in Abuja and the woman she was talking to said “Abuja isn’t a nice place ooo don’t let them fool you! She also said how she loved the street food and the lady said to her don’t trust them ooo they are scamming you! She then said she knows but to her she’s still saving a lot of money and the ppl selling on the street are making more money so it’s a win win! And this lady she was talking to got annoyed as if she was suppose to insult them too or something
i’m goin to benin city for three weeks. i’ll be staying with family there so accommodation costs are covered. i live in europe so the exchange rate is pretty good. how much should i bring for spending i’ll be with my family tho so i won’t have to pay for everything myself.
This happened yesterday and everyone is just keeping quiet. But if it's the other way round, the reactions would have been wild and all manners of narratives would have been peddled against the people of the eastern region.
But that's not the essence of this writeup. A friend of mine whose village was attacked called me yesterday and briefed me about what happened. And it's really saddening.
How long should we continue to tolerate these barbaric and blood-thirsty people? Yes, I understand that any Nigerian has the right to move unhindered to any part of the country. But these herdsmen have continued to constitute security threat anywhere they go. Igbo,Hausa Yoruba, Igala etc., do travel and trade in any part of the country. Yet they never pose security threat to people.
It's high time, we have a review of our constitution concerning this matter. These herdsmen still think we live in the 17th century,when they can just carry out crusade at night,killing people.
State governments must come together to see how to put to an end this rubbish. These people shouldn't be allow to roam our forests any longer.No.For years, they have been doing so and up to this moment they don't contribute anything meaningful to economic growth of Nigeria, instead they have been the source of terrorism and other criminal activities in Nigeria. They destroy people's farmlands and still kill them at random.
This country is not their personal estate.And no tribe or group can claim monopoly of violence. The country is seething with ethno-religious tension.The unity of the country is at stake, and government is trying to see how to at least hold the country together for a bit longer. But these marauding miscreants, who shouldn't have a place among present-day humans, are doing well to negate govt's efforts.
Apart from attacking people at night, an act known to cowards, they can't withstand modern-day warfare. They only showcase strength in the face of a weak leadership. I blame the govt for giving these people boldness to do the rubbish they're doing. If we had leaders like Trump, who everyone knows that he doesn't tolerate nonsense, these herdsmen would have gone back to their caves or better still far-away jungle, where they'll live with animals. For pesin own country, these people no go allow person rest. They are the reason why Simon Ekpa was able to effectively spread his tentacles in the east. No sane state govt should ever accommodate these criminals in their forest.If they want to rear their livestock, they should go and build ranches for themselves.That's what is being done in other places. I don't the support the idea of government trying to coax state govt to offer up their land for ranching. It doesn't make sense in anyway. Should we use tax payers' money to build ranches for just a group of people, who don't worth it ? State govt should be allowed to do so at their discretion.

Hi, I will like to know what's your experience going to college/university in the USA as a person of Nigerian descent particularly those that grew up in the USA? It seems to be that a lot of people think that if you tell them your Nigerian or your parents are Nigerian, they will think your an international student like why is it that way. I was born and raised in the USA to Nigerian parents and I have been asked if I'm an international student and then another person I once said to them that my parents are from Nigeria, obviously he was thinking I came from Nigeria to do university/college in America. I just wonder if people like to stereotype that all Nigerians are international students without thinking there are some that were born and raised in the United States like me.
Hi! Maybe travelling to Nigeria soon if the company sends me. Quick question. Are satellite phones allowed in the country? Can I bring one in, or should I purchase there?
Unsure how it is ruled under the junta.
This is what I found so far, please confirm if true:
Satellite Phones: Banned in northeastern Borno State (due to terrorism concerns). Elsewhere, only Inmarsat devices are permitted with prior approval from Nigeria’s Department of Telecommunications. Unauthorised possession can lead to arrest. The law around this is ambiguous and has been loosely applied.
GPS Trackers: Not explicitly restricted, but security concerns may lead to scrutiny.
Acquisition: Approved satellite phones (e.g., Inmarsat) likely require permits even if purchased in-country. Travelers should not bring unapproved devices.
I just had to say it.
Hey everyone! I'm curious to hear from Nigerians—what's your perception of Brazil?
Do people in Nigeria think about Brazil often? What comes to mind when you hear "Brazil"? Is it mostly football, culture, history, or something else?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
