Every one of Nigeria's 36 states and the FCT has a city in Naija Life: 37 in all, each with its own places, local jobs, homes, a landmark, a signature craft and a festival. Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt are open to everybody. Every other city opens for everybody when the players from its state have brought enough friends into the game: 300 invites for the biggest states, 150 for the middle ones and 75 for the smallest. Your home state is the one you pick when you start, and every friend you invite counts towards it.
