En la erudición predominante, las palabras “África” y “globalización” siempre se han descrito como compartiendo una relación tenue que revela varios problemas subyacentes a la creencia eurocéntrica en la sincronicidad de la supuesta globalidad progresista del mundo. El escepticismo extendido hacia el concepto de globalización en África se contrapone al hecho de que la evolución socioeconómica y política del continente se desarrolla a un ritmo desigual, diferente al del resto del mundo. Sin embargo, si bien es fácil descartar la globalización como un concepto occidental que no concierne de manera integral a África, es imposible ignorar la importancia de gran alcance de las actitudes y atributos globales en países como Nigeria. En Nigeria, uno de esos sellos aparentemente globales es la popularización de las tendencias tecnológicas digitales como las redes sociales, el internacionalismo artístico, la co-modificación de la cultura pop, la fama y la adopción de economías digitales como las criptomonedas y la tecnología blockchain. Este documento tiene como objetivo expandir esta vertiente tecnocultural de la ‘globalización’ en Nigeria al referirse a las realidades experienciales actuales obtenidas de un estudio observacional de los millennials y Gen-Z de Nigeria, mientras argumenta que el ascenso asimétrico de las tendencias digitales culturalmente simbólicas en Nigeria de hecho, revela el facadismo y el pseudoísmo del concepto de globalización.
