| Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to ask about this. I was
working on setting up international shipping plans for my store, and worked through
the list of countries. However, I saw that while many other countries in Africa
are available to ship to, Nigeria isn't one of them. This seems very strange
to me, as it is one of the most populous countries in the world, with over 200
million people. Is there some reason why it's not included in the list of
countries to potentially ship to?

Putting aside the site's availability within the ship-to countries, consider...
Nigeria may have "200 million people" as you say (actually 230,842,743
according to 2023 CIA data) but less than 70 million have so-called 'access'
to the internet, much of it very limited by western standards. Add to that, the
still ongoing unrest in the country: crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping,
armed gangs, and the continuous three border disputes... I then gotta ask, why
would you want to add it to your list?

I don't personally ship international, but I got the impression most stores
are only shipping to the 55 countries on pirateships list as including tracking
/ simple export rate.
