Description
This iconic edition of the Monopoly board game celebrates the 100-year anniversary of Nigeria’s
amalgamation. The 1914 amalgamation of Nigeria is of historic significance as the culturally diverse people of Nigeria came under one central colonial administration, governed by Lord Frederick Lugard.
This special Nigeria Centenary Edition, speaks eloquently and visually to our diversity and uniqueness as
a Nation as it illuminates the numerous and precious heritage sites and iconic locations across our vast
country.
The Nigeria Centenary Edition of the Monopoly board game showcases some of the nation’s most famous heritage sites: from the sacred Olumo rock towering over the ancient city of Abeokuta to the enchanting and picturesque Wikki Warm Spring in Yankari National Park. The board, box lid and charming brochure capture a wide array of attractions, cultural events and rich history.
This Centenary edition however offers more than just the thrill of an exciting board game. Embedded in
the “Opportunity” and “Chance” cards are strong social messages that seek to educate players about our
environmental laws, promote personal financial literacy, travel and tourism. One card for example reads
“You have been posted to Sokoto for your National Youth Service Corps orientation camp, collect N50.”
A unique feature of this commemorative edition is the inclusion by Hasbro of a special playing token in
the form of a football boot. The boot was included to acknowledge and celebrate our common love for
football and to honor our outstanding National teams, the Eagles, the Falcons and the Flamingoes over
the years.
