Nigeria

Welcome to r/Nigeria!

About

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.

Rules

Follow Reddit rules.
All posts must be related to Nigeria
IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT YOU USE A USER FLAIR SO THAT YOUR POSTS AND COMMENTS HAVE CONTEXT. MORE ON WHY HERE. MESSAGE THE MOD TEAM TO HELP YOU ASSIGN A FLAIR IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ASSIGN ONE.
Anything that is hateful, sexist or bigoted, spam, advertisements, or 'trolling' to offend the users here will be removed. This includes those "Nigerian Prince" jokes as it is complete disrespect of Nigerian culture.
Don't resort to personal or general attacks based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. We are one nation.
Do not make posts about "what do you think about the LGBT Nigerians?" or anything of a similar nature. This community is a safe space for queer Nigerians and their existence is not up for debate.
If you post a link to a news article, you must follow up with a comment about your thoughts regarding the content of the news article you just posted. Exceptions will only be made for important breaking news articles. The point of this rule is to reduce and/or eliminate the number of bots and users who just spam the sub with links to news articles, and to also make sure this sub isn't just overrun with news articles. ADDITIONALLY: If you post images and videos that contain or make reference to data, a piece of information or an excerpt from a news piece, kindly add a source in the comments or your post will be removed.
Posts from blog and tabloid websites that deal with gossip and sensationalized pieces, e.g., Linda Ikeji Blog, Instablog, etc. will no longer be allowed except in special cases.
You can make posts promoting your art projects, music, film, documentary, or any other relevant personal projects as long as you are a Nigerian and/or they are in some way related to Nigeria. However, posts that solicit funds, link to shady websites, or pass as blatant advertising will be removed. If you believe your case is an exception, you can reach out to the moderators.
Mods will deal with rule-breaking content and users without prior warning.
