Hello Fabian,
Thanks a lot.
South Africa won't work for Nigeria as a nearby country. Yes, the path to SA is shorter but over 95% of traffic intended for SA from Nigeria flow to the UK before travelling back down to South Africa.
Latency to the UK: ~99ms Latency to SA over direct path: ~80ms Latency to SA via the UK: ~235ms
So, the UK is still better as the "nearby country" to Nigeria, for now.

Thanks a lot for your feedback/comments. Adding UK as a "nearby" country would still look a little bit strange, but if that's how the peering would work to reach other African countries, it would make sense. No real country nearby that would have a "direct" (or at least less hops that going to uk and back) link ?
