I've added an African board to Fit to Talk, and posting in Pidgin is allowed on that board.

Could you make it easier for assessment by including the link to the thread?

Possibly this one : https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php?board=48.0
Posting both in English and Pidgin in the same board would become cumbersome if you are discussing about blockchain development in Africa

@JC you can keep a local rule such that  the common English is allowed in the main African board and you could create a child board like "Regional Languages (Africa)" for discussing things in Pidgin,  Afrikaans and other regional African languages? Just my idea.

It's empty at the moment, as I only set it up yesterday, and I'm not sure what to post there.

If somebody wants to start a decent Pidgin thread about Bitcoin in Africa, and we can translate it into English for posting in the Political or another board in Bitcoin Talk, then I will guarantee at least 5 merits. It will need to be a quality post though, and follow all the BT rules.

Remember it is a tuition forum, so it doesn't have the same rules and structure as Bitcoin Talk.

A post could be made in Pidgin, and an English translation could be added to the post as a quote. As long as the structure was consistent, it wouldn't be too difficult to follow, readers could skip either the quotes or the posts. It would be interesting for those of us who would like to understand Pidgin and its origins.

According to Wikipedia, English is the primarily spoken language in Nigeria, however there are over 500 other languages spoken in Nigeria.

As hilariousandco pointed out, the local subs are primarily a means for people to speak their language, and if you speak English, you can post in the main boards.

What would having a "Nigerian" local thread add to your community? How many people would you say would participate in a Nigeria local thread, and how many people from Nigeria are around here? If possible, provide some kind of evidence to back up your answers to my last question.

With your research 500 other languages are spoken in Nigeria because Nigeria is a welcoming country and Nigeria is the gaint of Africa. But, aside of English pidgin is the next common language spoken in Nigeria.
Nigeria local thread can add to this community have forgotten the statement made by the Binance boss that Africa will be the  future of crypto.

Apologies for not having followed up on this. I found a couple of interesting bits in the dustbin that came with my scrap computer clearance. There is a Butterfies Labs Bitforce SC Orion ASIC miner, and an EVGA 1200 P2 psu. Unfortunately there aren't any cables, so I've been doing a bit of research. I want to explore ASIC mining, but I don't think it is profitable any more, so I'm trying to reuse some free stuff.

Let me know if I need to do anything urgently to support you Nigerian guys.

We have over 50+ active Nigerians on this forum, i can tell that by just reading their replies (we have a unique way of writing sometimes we mix the pidgin english into normal english. This board we're asking for won't be only for Nigerians but an identity for Africans. From just this two threads i started titled The used of Bitcoin in Africa and Africa isn't poor - Africa is being raped. i have notice many Nigerians and Africans just from thier replies and also gotten PMs from many of them. With the local boards many continent have where to unite and identify themselves with their local languages but we don't. If we can get a board, we will sort the rest things out ourselves maybe by creating threads for each unique languages.

I don't know and you don't know either but we can't use the current status of a thing to calculate the promising future.

This looks like a lost battle even before we started. Lets start from somewhere, I just created a thread were we (not just Nigerians but Africans) can hangout and discuss general issue and issue relating to blockchain. Maybe if the thread becomes active enough we can mobilize ourselves and request for a board.

Here's the link to the thread: African bitcointalk community hangout

I also started a signature campaign but so far most participants are volunteers. Interested user can apply.
