Young, creative and mobile-first
Nigeria's social media culture is shaped by music, film, fashion and a fast-growing start-up scene. Audiences engage heavily on mobile, and many conversations move to WhatsApp. Content in English or Arabic; other languages on request.
Lagos is the commercial hub, Abuja the capital, and Port Harcourt the oil-industry centre. Fashion, beauty, food, fintech and entertainment brands are especially active on social media, and creators play a big role in discovery.
