Upper Bound Lower Bound Have Mobile & Accessed Internet
“Digital Nigeria” Comes of Age Findings from the 2012 BBG/Gallup National Survey of Nigeria
Main Findings
Massive growth in “connectedness” in past few years
Former media gap between Hausa and others has narrowed; increase in
Hausa phone ownership accounts for growth in mobile
Internet use strong across the board at 20% weekly; but varies sharply by
demographic
Growth of Internet largely due to take-up of mobile Web; a shift from café-
centered Internet culture
More than 50% in all demographic groups own mobile, except least educated
(even among them, 30% have mobiles)
Mobiles widely used for non-voice activities, esp. SMS, web, social networking
News sharing by SMS, social networking, email very important
But broadcast media still dominate for news

Mobile News: Accessible, Convenient, Fast
“It’s easy because there are some villages that do not have
electricity and they are far from where you can get a
newspaper — you can just use the phone.” (Zaria, female)
“Initially, I hated reading news or even listening to it,
especially reading newspapers, but now with my phone, I
find it very easy and most convenient.” (Kano, female)
“Like the issue of the plane crash, my friend told me on
Facebook…It could have taken me two to three hours
before the network news will carry it.” (Kano, male)

Conclusions
Digital media should be a part of any communications strategy
for Nigeria
Previously “underserved” groups entering the digital
mainstream fast
Internet outreach should be mobile-centric
Take advantage of penchant for information-sharing
…but don’t forget the continued primacy of broadcast media!
