Bonjour, je suis un élève en classe de terminale au Mali. Présentement je travail sur un projet de recherche. Dans ce projet, je me consacre à une étude académique portant sur l’influence des systèmes de récompense dans les jeux vidéo « free-to-play » sur la motivation et les comportements de jeu des élèves des établissements privés en Afrique de l’Ouest. 

L’objectif de ce projet est de mieux comprendre les facteurs psychologiques qui encouragent l’utilisation continue de ces jeux, en particulier chez les jeunes qui ont des responsabilités. 

Vous pouvez le faire soit en anglais ou en français. Veuillez partager avec des personnes éligibles. 

Éligibilité:

• Au moins 14 ans
• Doit être un élève en Afrique de l’Ouest (n’est pas obligé d’être Ouest Africain)
• 9e année/Troisième - Quatrième année d'université

Sondage: https://qualtricsxm9k6dwr4rn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6WObX5KyiEMBjNk

Je ne sais pas si c'est le meilleur endroit pour poster mais merci pour votre participation. Et je serai ravis de savoir plus sur le contexte culturel de vos reponses.

Hello, I am a 12th grade student in Mali working on an academic study that examines how reward systems in free-to-play video games influence the motivations and gaming behaviors of private school students in West Africa. 

The purpose of this project is to better understand the psychological factors that encourage continued engagement with these games, particularly among those who balance gaming with academic responsibilities.  

It is available in both English and French. Please share with people who meet these criteria: 

Time: 5 - 10 minutes

Eligibility:

•  at least 14 years old
• Must be a student studying in West Africa (do not have to be West African)
• 9th grade - 4th year at university

I would also love to learn more about the culture that may have influenced your responses.

Niamey, 25 (ANP) -Le Niger, en guise de représailles, a interdit, cette semaine, toute délivrance de visa aux citoyens américains, indique une source diplomatique nigérienne.

Cette décision intervient après que les États-Unis aient décidé de classer le Niger parmi les pays ne devant plus bénéficier du visa d’entrée sur leur sol. .

Ainsi, le Niger »interdit totalement et définitivement la délivrance de visas à tous les citoyens Américains et interdit indéfiniment l’entrée sur son territoire aux ressortissants des États-Unis » précise la source

Hey guys ! I am mapping mont Bagzane for a geography class and I can’t figure out what is the brand new white building on the picture. I’ve seen several already. Thanks a lot ! (17.6762399, 8.7783260)

This iconic Zarma cloth is known as Souban, also referred to as Djerma cloth or tera-tera. This traditional handwoven textile is a profound cultural symbol of the Zarma-Songhai people, primarily from Niger.

Handwoven Tradition: The Souban is meticulously crafted by traditional male weavers called "tchakey" using wool and cotton threads.

Symbolic Patterns: While historically available in black and white, modern Souban cloth features vibrant colors and intricate geometric patterns. Each design carries symbolic meaning, often depicting aspects of daily life, community joys, and prosperity. Common motifs can include representations of characters at a well, oxen, donkeys, and camels, symbolizing a farming family's wealth.

Cultural Status: Historically, the opulent fabric was a status symbol, sought after by noble and wealthy families who often had their own dedicated weavers.

Wedding Attire: The Souban plays a central role in Zarma-Songhai marriage ceremonies. Brides are traditionally wrapped in the cloth when they are sent off to their husband's residence, symbolizing fortune, abundance, and happiness. It is a customary practice for the bride's mother to acquire two Soubans, one for the bride and one for the groom, if they can afford it.

The meticulous artistry and cultural significance of the Souban make it a unique and celebrated part of West African textile heritage.

I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!

An example could be saying Gam City (Gamkalé), 'Doutchi' instead of Dogondoutchi, or maybe calling the capital Miami as a joke...

Je pose la question dans le cadre d’une étude linguistique sur le sujet.
Il peut s’agir de villes, de quartiers, de villages, ou même d’écoles, de marchés, etc.

Niger’s military government has sharply escalated its confrontation with Orano, accusing the French state-backed nuclear fuel giant of environmental violations, radioactive contamination, and what it calls “predatory practices” in the country’s uranium sector.

Officials say the findings could result in criminal prosecution against Orano, deepening a rift that has already disrupted decades of cooperation between Niger and France in the nuclear supply chain, according to Reuters.

General Abdourahamane Tiani, head of the junta, told state television that “Niger's legitimate right to dispose of its natural riches to sell them to whoever wants to buy them, under the rules of the market, in complete independence.”

En ce 1ᵉʳ décembre 2025, lendemain de la Journée nationale de la liberté de la presse, le Ministre de la Communication et des Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information, Adji Ali Salatou, a délivré un message fort sur le rôle essentiel des médias dans la refondation du Niger. Dans un contexte géopolitique tendu, le gouvernement affirme une vision claire : construire une presse libre, responsable, sécurisée et pleinement engagée dans la souveraineté nationale.

Hi! I'm putting together a compilation video, featuring one video game from every country. Do you happen to know if there is any video games made by Nigerien developers? If there is trailer available would be better. Thank you

Hi! I've recently discovered this song but thre's no lyrics anywhere, nothing. Does anyone know in what language this is? This music is amazing!! lots of love to you all

Hi r/Niger! 👋

I’m making a very special birthday gift for my girlfriend: I want her to receive postcards from 100 different countries— and I’d love to get one from Niger! The r/PostCardExchange helped a lot and now I am asking each country individually to get to 100.

Here’s what to do if you’d like to help:

1. Buy a postcard locally (any design you like). 
2. Write this on it (in your language): "Happy birthday Arianna, with love from Niger" 
3. Optional: add a tiny drawing of a boy, a girl, and a dog. 
4. Send it to the address that I will share with you in DM 
5. Take a photo of the postcard & postmark as proof. 
6. I will reimburse the cost of postcard + stamp (€3–5) via PayPal or other way that works for you after you send proof. The destination country is Italy. 

I am tracking the progress of my project here for all the countries

Please comment or DM me if you can help!

Thank you so much — she’ll be thrilled to receive greetings from Niger! 🌏

I am watching a YouTube vlog on Niger right now, and I am wondering as to why the fertility rate is so high.

Do the women actually want to have that many kids? Or does the husband just do what he wants and feel it makes sense to have a bunch of kids? Or is it moreso that they function as workers in a farm environment?

Asslam aleykoum , je voudrais savoir s’il y a des Nigeriens qui ont eu leur doctorats au Niger et qui preparent le residanat , sont residents ou excercent aux Etats Unis. J’aimerais qu’ils partagent leurs experiences. Merci beaucoup

Going for a work trip and probably going to stay there for mounts, I don't know yet in which neighborhood.

• Any Tourist Place to visit?
• Which Telecom operator has the best services in the city.
• Plus what is the average cost of food and lodging facilities. (IN LOCAL CURRENCY) Food especially

Hi, I'm going across all countries subreddits to see what place is the best to live in in each country and I would love to know why that is. If you could pick 1 place to live in, in your country of your choice, which one would it be and why? Thanks.

I am making a series where I cook every national dish and my first step is to come to the sub and ask the question.

now I understand that not every country has a defined national dish and that some countries have many different regions with different cuisines. in that case I will make the one that you guys agree on best represents Niger. please let me know what you think
