In Nigeria, the hustle to bag brand collaborations is real, especially for Twitter influencers aiming to link up with Germany brands. If you dey wonder how to turn your Twitter following into cold, hard Naija Naira by collaborating with German companies, this one na your street guide for 2025.
Based on insights from May 2025, Nigeria’s influencer marketing game is evolving. Brands dey sharp to work with creators who get authentic engagement and can speak to their audience in a relatable way. Twitter, with its fast-paced vibe, remains a solid platform for that kind of connection, especially for niche markets like tech, fashion, and lifestyle.
📢 Marketing Landscape for Nigerian Influencers on Twitter
Twitter is no longer just about tweets and retweets; it’s a serious influencer marketing hub. Nigerians love Twitter for quick news, entertainment, and viral trends, making it a prime spot for influencers to shine. But how do you connect with Germany brands from here?
First, understand the Germany brands’ style. German companies cherish precision, quality, and trust. They want to see clear ROI and authentic engagement, not just inflated follower numbers. For Nigerian influencers, that means ditching the “followers at all cost” mindset and focusing on real conversations, relatable content, and consistent posting.
For example, Lagos-based influencer @ChiomaOnPoint recently teamed up with a German skincare brand. She used Twitter Spaces to host Q&A sessions, mixing English and Pidgin to keep it relatable for her Naija audience while showcasing the product’s quality. That kind of content style aligns well with German values and also resonates deeply with Nigerian consumers.
