It seems like the Nigerian domain name registry is having a promotion to celebrate Nigeria's 50th year anniversary.

Upperlink - Dead

Try this one: http://www.web4africa.com.ng/

No credit card required. The official ccTLD for Nigeria is .ng.

In order to populate the .NG Registry with Active domains, the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA) is giving out 50,000 domains free

Free domains are only good IMO if the renewal would be free as well. There was a point when .info and .be were free for a few weeks too, a lot of registrations occured within the .be field but the number of those domains that expired after a year rather than renewed was also quite high.

Also, the opening post is wrong: the Nigerian current registry may be 5 years old, not Nigeria itself ;) It indeed has a relatively good economy, but the stability of its government makes it questionable how many of those investors will leave in the near future. For sure not a stable country so caution is needed.

Aren't you guys worried about spam? I mean giving your contact info in the whois might make it spambait. :D

As it is a lot of spam/phishing/scam stuff originates there.

I might have been interested in second level names, make for nice hacks.

You could try Sedo or Bodis, not sure if any others are accepting .com.ng

Worried? Yes
Scared? Yes

Made sure to use an email that I don't use for anything on the registration. (my junk email)

Forgive me for my stupidity, but what is 70uv? :o

These names cost me nothing so I might as well have a go but I don't know what you mean by it lol

Well, looks like the party is over. The registry deleted a lot of my .com.ng domains:

Status: Excluded - Pending Delete - Restorable

Make sure your names are still resolving.

Of all African countries, the following are worth looking at: South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco. Maybe Senegal, they are politically stable but not sure about internet penetration there. Then maybe .cd (Congo) is interesting only because CD is a common term pretty much like FM or TV, the issue is that Congo isn't the most stable place on the continent.

Ghana, Cameroon, Morocco and South Africa have rapidly growing economies AND relative political stability.
In the rest of Africa there is either lack of internet penetration or lack of stability to consider the other ccTLD's already for investment. Maybe once the situation became politically calm, Ivory Coast and Nigeria and such would be safe bets too. But for now, the only countries where I see economic growth, growth of internet users, AND without political unrest, are S.Africa, Morocco, Ghana and Cameroon.

Also how do I know an end user offer from a scam, when I get an email that says:

We would sincerely and muchly like to offer you for your internet name, $1000000000 from the estate of a very wealthy government official, who sadly died in a plane crash and no living relatives. He was very much interested in the internet and domain names and would we, on his behalf, would very much like to buy your names.....

What really bites my butt is I had a lot of these domains in "Bulk Register." Aids, Nigeria, Government, etc. - but their bulk registry is broken. I waited 24 hours for their "cron job" to put the registrations through, only to later contact them and find out they had no idea what I was talking about. Very bitter first experience.

I'm really angry. I had a ton of really great names I was waiting for registration on - like an idiot.

dog.com.ng
phone.org.ng
radios.org.ng

How do you earn parking traffic from them though, who are people using to earn? :)
