Lagos, Nigeria
West Africa
Overview
Lagos is Corpshore's West African delivery hub and the most populous city on the continent, giving the operation immediate access to Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Nigerian Pidgin alongside English — the five languages that together cover the majority of Nigeria's communication.
Nigeria's economic scale and urban density make Lagos one of the most data-rich environments in Africa. The hub conducts egocentric video and field data collection across Lagos's varied urban, market, and commercial environments, capturing footage that reflects the daily physical world of West Africa's largest city.
UTC+1 alignment overlaps European and North African working hours, making Lagos a natural near-shore partner for European clients requiring African-language data. Nigeria's data-protection regime (NDPR) is applied alongside Corpshore's GDPR-aligned DPA for international compliance coverage.

Why Corpshore operates here
Native coverage of Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and Nigerian Pidgin — four of West Africa's most widely spoken languages — in a single city.
Urban scale and market diversity for first-person egocentric video and field data collection.
UTC+1 near-shore alignment with European clients, mirroring the Accra and Casablanca windows.
Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and digital market, making Lagos data culturally relevant at continental scale.
NDPR compliance combined with a GDPR-aligned DPA for international data-handling requirements.
Talent pool
Lagos concentrates Nigeria's technology and media sectors, supplying contributors with both language depth and digital fluency. Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa are natively represented, and Nigerian Pidgin — a creole used as a lingua franca across the country — is a distinct and under-resourced language in the AI training data market.
Nigeria's youth-dominant population (median age under 20) and rapidly growing technology ecosystem provide a large, energetic workforce suited to high-volume annotation, speech capture, and field collection programs.
Specializations
Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa speech capture and text annotation for Nigerian-language AI programs.
Nigerian Pidgin data: a creole under-represented in existing AI training datasets.
Speech and TTS for Nigerian English, Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa.
Annotation and labeling across text, image, and video at high throughput.
Egocentric video collection: first-person and POV footage for embodied AI and robotics training.
Field data collection: real-world environmental, sensor, and contextual data captured in-country.
Data residency and compliance
GDPR-aligned DPA, NDPR
The Lagos hub operates under Nigeria's National Information Technology Development Agency Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and a GDPR-aligned data processing agreement, providing both local Nigerian statutory compliance and European-standard data handling. Access controls and review follow the Corpshore network standard.
Timezone coverage
UTC+1 aligns Lagos with continental European business hours and within two hours of East African hubs (Kampala, Nairobi), creating a broad African daytime window that spans the continent from West to East.
Why this location works for AI data
Nigerian Pidgin is a distinct, under-resourced creole with tens of millions of speakers — unavailable at scale from any other hub.
Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa coverage in a single city eliminates the need for three separate national deployments.
Africa's youngest median age produces a large, digitally native contributor pool.
UTC+1 near-shore alignment serves European clients directly alongside Accra and Casablanca.
