How much Telegram advertising costs in Nigeria
Estimated price of one ad post that stays in the channel for 24 hours, by channel size: the middle half of channels falls between the low and high values. Estimates come from views and typical CPM rates, not from deals.
| # | Subscribers | Channels | Low | Median price | High | Ad views | CPM, $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1K–5K | 41 | $3 | $5 | $7 | 160 | 25.4 |
| 2 | 5K–10K | 22 | $4 | $6 | $9 | 260 | 27.4 |
| 3 | 10K–50K | 73 | $6 | $10 | $15 | 670 | 12.9 |
Telegram channels by region of Nigeria
Channels with a detected region. Many channels address the whole country and have no region, so these counts cover only part of Nigeria's channels.
| # | Region | Channels | Combined subscribers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lagos | 45 | 400K |
| 2 | Ondo State | 37 | 2,6M |
| 3 | Oyo State | 24 | 380K |

| 7 | Kano State | 7 | 68K |
| 8 | Kaduna State | 6 | 89K |
| 9 | Niger State | 6 | 19K |
| 10 | Delta | 5 | 70K |
Methodology
Data source: the TG Market catalog of public Telegram channels and groups, built from publicly available Telegram data. The figures on this page are recalculated every 24 hours; the date at the top shows the last update.
How the country is detected: automatically, from place names and other geographic signals in a channel's title, description and posts, and from the channels that mention it. Only confident estimates are counted, so the numbers are lower bounds for Nigeria: channels that never name a place are missed. The country describes a channel's content and audience, not where its owner lives.
Exclusions: channels with fewer than 1,000 subscribers, without a public username, flagged by Telegram as scam or fake, and adult, darknet and shock content. Subscriber figures are rounded to two significant figures.
Growth compares each channel's first and last subscriber count over the last month from our daily history. Ad prices are estimates from average views and CPM tables by language and topic; real prices vary with the deal.
