Introduction
The population of Africa has grown rapidly over the past century and consequently shows a large bulge. Total population as of 2017 is estimated at more than 1.25 billion, with a growth rate of more than 2.5% p.a. The most populous African country is Nigeria with 191 million inhabitants as of 2017 and a growth rate of 2.6% p.a. Population growth has continued at almost the same pace, and total population is expected to surpass 2 billion by 2038 (doubling time 29 years, 2.4% p.a.)
Smart phone usage in Nigeria
Due to the growing penetration of smartphones across Nigeria and mobile broadband access that is cheaper and faster than it has been a few years earlier, developers have the opportunity to spread mobile games easily. The population of Nigeria is young, with more than 60% of the population being under 25 years old, and its locally produced movies and music both form a strong industry. Nigeria has the world’s fastest growing mobile internet usage behind China and India.
In recent years, mobile phone penetration in sub-Saharan Africa has increased dramatically. Statistical data shows that there are 747 million SIM connections in sub-Saharan Africa, representing 75% of the population. Mobile phone ownership is especially high in South Africa and Nigeria with nine in ten individuals owning a mobile device. When it comes to mobile internet access, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa are the countries with the highest number of mobile internet access on the continent.
Nigerians are highly innovative and positive towards blockchain technology
According to data from LocalBitcoins,Nigeria came second in the world’s peer-to-peer (P2P) Bitcoin transactions in 2017 outpacing major European countries, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. This data shows us that the adoption of BlockChain games can be great in Nigeria if the right gaming platform gets to the region.
