- Nigeria participated in Wiki Loves Earth last year and achieved pretty good results. Their efforts in organising photo walks to the areas that lack coverage on Wikimedia Commons are appreciated. Overall this is a good proposal that is worth being funded — NickK (talk) 13:11, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
- I endorse this project.

- Wiki love earth 2017 was a huge success as it recorded high traffic of pictures of various heritage centres. 2018 edition promises to conslidate on the success of the last edition by focusing more on quality of pictures and not necessarily quantity hence I endorsed this project as it will go a long way in ravampaging the quality of images across all heritage centres in Nigeria by collaborating with local photographers.
