A localised version of YouTube for Nigeria officially launched yesterday and they’ve released an ad presenting the service to Nigerians. The video stars rapper Jesse Jags appearing in a kid’s dream. The kid slept off while researching an assignment on “Deconstructing the existential perspective and evolution of contemporary Nigerian Politics, Culture and Entertainment”.

Jesse Jags makes a quick joke about how Nobody tests him[Get it?] and then explains how he heads to YouTube.com.ng to find inspiration. They both port into an advanced touchscreen-based world where different Nigerian videos from Tafawa Balewa speaking to Music videos and Oliver de Coque performances are highlighted. The kid’s sister then wakes him up and asks if he’s done with the assignment. He replies in the negative saying “I know where to find my inspiration”.

Here’s the Video

YouTube Naija LogoWe posted last month on Google’s plans to launch a localised version of YouTube for Nigeria. The site officially went live yesterday, and YouTube has partnered with Chocolate City, Storm 360, Nollywood Love, Channels TV and Lagos Television to bring local content to the site. The YouTube partner program has also been launched so content creators can develop videos and grow audiences while generating revenue.

Localised videos aren’t yet showing up on YouTube.ng or YouTube.com.ng as the URLs are being redirected to http://www.youtube.com/?gl=NG&hl=en-GB. By the end of the launch event yesterday and as I draft this, localised content haven’t still been pushed to the homepage. All I see are a bunch of tech related videos from RIM, Mythbusters to Nokia.

Nigeria joins the growing Kenya, Egypt, South Africa and Tunisia on the list of African countries with localised YouTube versions. YouTube Naija will feature a new Logo with ‘Tube’ in the colours of the Nigerian flag. The design is consistent with YouTube’s new design. Making channels prominent and showing you shared videos from your Google+ and Facebook friends

We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.
