Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
A good and solid proposal. I think this would be an interesting topic to be discussed. It would be interesting to see how DH tools are being used by African scholars as well as how we can optimize the tools for African scholars. It would be great if we can capture the discussion that would come out from this proposal and perhaps see more work on this topic.

Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
Augustine Farinola's proposed lightning talk on the opportunities and challenges of digital humanities scholarship in Africa, with a case study focused on Nigeria, is a worthwhile topic for presentation in DH2020. The abstract considers the ways that doing DH in Africa may differ from other regions of the world (implicitly North America and Europe). In particular, a focus on various online platforms used for analysis of text/media will be combined with a consideration of the user experience. 
 
 
The subject matter of African identities and indigenous cultures (the latter referenced in the keywords) fits well within the themes of DH2020. Likewise, &quot;carrefours&quot; and public humanities are represented by considering the reception and academic relevance of DH within a world region (Africa), and especially one that receives less focus in most DH research. I expect Farinola's talk will provide valuable perspectives on the state of DH in Nigeria and its prospects in an underrepresented part of the world. A challenge will be to manage to address the topic fully in the 5 minutes allotted for a lightning talk.
 
 
As the author considers the particularities of the user experience in Nigeria, or more broadly in an African context, might I recommend for reading Johana Drucker's Graphesis, as only one possible critical dialogue for contemplating the role of the interface in the context of humanistic inquiry. The question of how DH may change depending on the culture where it is being employed is an interesting topic and one that the world of DH has yet to successfully address in my opinion. 
 
 
I look forward to hearing the talk, if approved by the committee.

Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
The text focuses on a current problem regarding the low level of technological awareness among researchers and academics in Nigeria; as well as calling attention to African researchers in creating frameworks that help developers create software adapted to the African language and cultures, among others. This last aspect would be the strongest point of the submission.
 
This presentation could be improved by briefly explaining the number of surveys carried out on students and academics in Humanities in Nigeria in order to give greater importance and credibility to the argument of the exposed problem.

Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
This talk will report on a study undertaken to assess the level of awareness and engagement with Digital Humanities tools in Nigeria. It is important work, explicitly aligned to the conference themes of indigenous DH, and the public humanities. It implicitly aligns to the theme of the open data movement.
 
 
If accepted, I recommend the author clarify the relationship between Nigerian DH and African DH more generally: how indicative of African DH is this data from Nigerian DH?

Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
This sounds like an interesting lightning talk that will report on the state of digital humanities uptake in Africa. I would suggest gesturing towards existing scholarship on Africa and technology or existing scholarship to measure DH technology use. 
 
 
This raises a few questions: how did you design the questionnaire? were there templates you used? would you share your data or questions in order to expand our knowledge of digital humanities use globally? 
 
 
Well suited for a lightning talk.

Comments for the Authors 
------------------------ 
The strength of this submission is that it attempts to use survey metrics to understand what DH uptake there has been in Nigeria. That said, it would strengthen this submission significantly if citations to specific debates, frameworks, and scholarly content were used to frame this submission. For example, you place your  work within the larger African DH context but do not discuss at all the ways in which mobile-device driven DH has enabled cultural heritage-based DH. More significantly to my mind is the notion that it is the uptake of  the tools used elsewhere in the world that serves as evidence of DH more generally. I wonder if there are Nigeria-developed technologies and practices that should center this study rather than non-Nigeria based DH tools.

That said, it would strengthen this submission significantly if citations to specific debates, frameworks, and scholarly content were used to frame this submission. For example, you place your&nbsp;&nbsp;work within the larger African DH context but do not discuss at all the ways in which mobile-device driven DH has enabled cultural heritage-based DH. More significantly to my mind is the notion that it is the uptake of&nbsp;&nbsp;the tools used elsewhere in the world that serves as evidence of DH more generally. I wonder if there are Nigeria-developed technologies and practices that should center this study rather than non-Nigeria based DH tools.
