In recent years, Nigeria has experienced a dramatic rise in social media usage and digital content creation. According to Statista, as of January 2023, Nigeria had 31.6 million active social media users. This growing influence underscores the evolving marketing landscape in Nigeria, where user-generated content and authentic connections increasingly influence consumer decision-making.
