Booking some of the cheapest shipping to Nigeria with Parcel Monkey
Nigeria is one of the larger African nations, with more citizens than any other country in Africa. In fact, in total population, Nigeria's 158.2 million citizens rank number seven worldwide, meaning the amount of parcels being sent to Nigeria is considerable. When it comes to the government, since Nigeria's 1960 move to independence the country has closely followed the republic model popularised by the United States. The population of Nigeria is about equally divided between Muslim and Christian religious beliefs. Due to often difficult living conditions, Nigerians regularly immigrate to the United States, as well as European countries like the United Kingdom, so it could well be the case that parcels being sent from around the world are being sent back home by Nigerian expats. Nigeria is a middle-class country and is characterised as an emerging or developing nation. The country is rich in natural resources, has its own stock exchange, as well as a reliable communications infrastructure. The US is the largest investor in Nigeria, although British companies also invest measurably in Nigeria's economy. A full 40% of Nigeria's GDP is centred around oil production. Other strong industries include telecommunications, financial sectors, natural gas, gold, lead, iron, cocoa, yams, citrus fruit and sugar. Strong manufacturing items include fabric, leather, plastics and automobiles. In a recent PayPal survey 31% of Nigerians who do not shop online cited concerns over the security of payments as a reason for not doing so, so eCommerce retailers need to resolve this issue, and install trust in the buyers by providing tracked and speedy delivery of goods.
