This is all over Nigeria.

Some nicknames are global(e.g CR7), some are national(just within a country e.g in Nigeria, Henry is Igwe, and more recently Anelka is Alhaji) others depend on locality.

C. Ronaldo:  C. Gogongo ( common in some part of Yorubaland)
Fabregas:    Fabrepass(almost nationally), Nokia(in some hausaland- think of 'connecting people')
