Have any of you from the Nigerian local thread PMed theymos or Cyrus to speak with them and see how they feel about your request? They have certainly seen the thread, but you should ask the admins are there plans to create a Nigerian local or not. Ask them what you can do to help and which sub-boards you would like to have.
Sometimes silence indicates progress, and other times it indicates neglect. We are still waiting with bated breath.
I agree with you Mr igehhh, and I think in this matter, the silence means progress, and not neglect.
Come to think of it, if theymos was not going to grant us our request, then he probably would have replied to this thread, stating it can't be done, and maybe close the thread so the conversations don't linger on, making the thread a long one and yet empty.
So I personally think that he's silence on this matter means progress, and I have this feeling that our Nigeria local board is already done and waiting to be deployed, he (theymos) is only waiting to see how persistent will be be, so I urge us not to relent, let's keep pushing and making sure this thread remains on the top in this meta board, we are close to achieving that which we long desire.
