In addition to what Charles_Tim had aired out, Nigerians are one of the most active users in the bitcointailk forum that had contributed positively for her development, in the recent time, we have about 500+ active members if I'm not mistaken and we keep having new members that comes in on a regular basis and more to be coming.
I came across
similar thread long time ago by a user requesting same for Nigerian local board, I came to realize that Nigerians infact African as a whole weren't active enough to form a community at that time, now we have accumulated up to 520 replies and 11722 views with up to 27 pages in our
community hangout discussing crypto related topics in our understood pidgin language at the moment.
My explanations above might not be convincing enough but it shows some slight improvement more than before, It's high time we get what we are requesting for.
Edit:
Here are some active Nigerian members in the forum,[members upward]
Judging by this list and the personal reputation of the members, the request for a local board is really justified.
I'm an active member of the Croatian local board and throughout this time I realized how important this local section is for our local members.
First of all, not all members speak good English and some of them are avoiding the English part of the forum.
Local community members have a better understanding of the local situation and can give better advice on local options for selling or buying crypto, or finding stores that allow you to buy products or pay for services with bitcoin etc.
Local members can even arrange social gatherings or meetings as we already had in our local part of the forum.
Based on all this, I believe that if some basic conditions are met, all local communities, including the Nigerian one, should get their local board and I support that.
