I think that its obvious to anyone who follows my thread that Nigerian board is undermrited at the moment and could use at least one more merit source. The only "problem" is that theymos tends to readjust merit in bulk when he sees that amount of merit shared forum-wise went down significantly so it may take a while before applications made after July 2021 gets approved as at the moment, overall amount of merit shared is still pretty good.

Anyway, good luck and hopefully you get merit source status eventually. In the meantime, you might wanna report posts from your local board in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source thread. I did that when we were in your situation and it helped us a lot.
