Country-wide 8
Visible pickup truck in most coverage (cab + bed; colours vary; Gen3 has a roof rack; sometimes one huge blur)
A police follow car (mostly white or black) almost always trails the Street View car
Short plates looking somewhat green through the blur
Concrete poles w/ indents + a few horizontal supports - like Brazil's but w/o holes through them
Brazil: No holes → Nigeria; context obvious anyway.
Roads often lineless, faded, potholed or unpaved
Single-storey houses w/ steeply pitched metal-sheet roofs + cinder-block compound walls
City & state names on storefronts/banners - learn the states!
Shitcam (official Ari) - the only mainland-African country with it; the 2023-25 batch is EXTRA low quality (huge cars through the blur - elsewhere only Lebanon)
African shitcam = Nigeria (Madeira/Ecuador have it on other continents).
Madeira: Continent decides instantly - African setting → Nigeria.
Ecuador: Continent decides instantly - African setting → Nigeria.
Regional 5
Mostly flat w/ subtle changes: hills in Enugu + Ife↔Lokoja (south), more from Abuja→Jimeta (north), biggest = Mandara range on the Cameroon border; climate: tropical rainforest south (palms + lush) → savanna centre → arid steppe far north (seasons distort!)
Coverage sparse (mostly cities + connecting highways); Gen3 never north of Abuja; Gen4 not in the NW or far south; shitcam nearly everywhere (maps)
State vehicle colours: several states have unique taxi/tuk-tuk paint jobs (map; vehicle shown = yellow tuk-tuks in that state)
Christian south / Muslim north - hijabs + Muslim attire more common northward
State reads:
Specific spots 1
Spotlights: east of Lekki = flat sandy coast + palms, old Gen3 w/ silver follow car; A121 = divided highway w/ short concrete median + lush vegetation + trucks (A232 east of Benin City: wider median); A3 east of Potiskum = Gen4, open arid, divided; dark red soil → Benin City & Enugu; Obudu Plateau road = Nigeria's tallest covered mountains, winding, foggy & wet; blue-tinted shitcam in mapped areas; old Gen3 follow-car map (silver Lexus rarely Onitsha↔Enugu)
