I was slightly interested until I read this line: "It's truly greed on the part of people being scammed that's to blame and not the desperation of the repressed Nigerian people."
Fuck you! So many people have been scammed out of money from greedy bastards like you, and it's their fault? I'm calling it now, this whole coin is a scam. Nobody trust it, consider yourself warned!

Description
NigeriaCoin is a peer-to-peer virtual protocol and currency and similar to Bitcoin and Litecoin. It is specifically designed with one primary differentiator, Coin Distribution Symmetry (CDS). CDS is an inflation adjustment mechanism to minimize dilution of share values from Proof of Work (PoW) mining. This provides both miners and investors with incentives to participate in the currency.
Why Nigeria?
"Nigeria is going to shoot past South Africa to become the largest economy in Africa on March 31." (nigeria giving sa a run for it's money, 2014)
Nigeria also has more citizens than Russia and actually has a quite tech savvy community.
Despite these positive things, Nigerians are still struggling with a centralized and corrupt central bank and currency.
"Nigeria’s currency, the naira, has stayed in free-fall, the day after the suspension of graft-fighting central bank chief Lamido Sanusi. Analysts say the move makes investors nervous and will encourage capital flight." (nigeria's currency tumbles, 2014).
In the country, a huge gap exists between the wealthy elite and the rest of the population. Some politicians vow to "fight corruption that keeps an elite fabulously wealthy while the majority of Africa's most populous nation ... struggle to survive on less than $1 a day, according to U.N. statistics."
Yet, due to a lack of transparency in the monetary system and a centralized currency, it is still widespread to a sickening degree. For instance, "no one has been prosecuted for a fuel subsidy scam uncovered in 2012, in which some $17 billion was paid to companies for fuel that never was delivered." (therepublic - nigeria missing billions, 2014).
Most foreigners know of Nigeria only for their 419 scams. NigeriaCoin acknowledges the struggles of the repressed population and salutes their creativity in trying to break free from the shackles of a corrupt government. Their entrepreneurial spirit and creativity has led them to an easy source of cash.
Edit: removed some controversial lines, original unedited text can be read on the whitepaper.

- 2 minute block target (because anything less will have too many orphan blocks)
- 41900 coins per block (as suggested. it's just too funny to pass up. thank you otila)
- 88 billion total coins (NigeriaCoin loves the Chinese and the Chinese love 8's)
- Difficulty retargets every block using a modified Digishield adjustment
- 3% dev premine for bounties, giveaways, development, support and maintenance, new feature developments etc.
