#2The article mentions 27 registration-capable companies but fails to provide any names or links. Any voices of experience for which service should I use for purchasi.ng a Nigerian domain?

The list of registrars is here: http://www.nira.org.ng/index.php/registrars. I looked through the list of the platinum, gold and silver levels and none of their websites support .ng yet.

#5After checking a few registrars, I found they only sell third-level domains (.com.ng, .net.ng), not second-level domains (like "amazi.ng") which is probably what most people here would be interested in.
Example: http://www.webdomains.com.ng/myaccount/whois.php?step=1
It's a shame they're missing the opportunity to sell such a nice top-level domain - or perhaps it's done on purpose?

I think .com.ng kind of domains have been around for a while, the latest news is that they are going to open .ng domains for everyone, really soon.
at least i believe thats whats going to happen.

#7People should probably stop voting this story up; the .ng domains are not currently on sale anywhere I can see, and there's no sign that they will be generally available any time soon.

This is an example of why 90% of the time, I read the HN comments and then decide whether the story is worth checking.
