Webmasters, I noticed that only foreign websites do use 'https' and local websites (even nairaland) only use 'http'. . Why is that please? Thanks in advance!

HTTP is open to every website under the sun. Look around, a handful of Nigerian sites use HTTPS. You can migrate as soon as you;re ready to do so.

Any website in anywhere in the world can have https. It's for security when sensitive information is required from the users. All the banks' websites in Nigeria have it. If you don't see it, try to use their internet banking you will see it.

That's because they haven't bought and installed an SSL Certificate for it on their server. I myself use SSL(Https)...No biggie.
Although i think Nairaland should seriously look into it. Being a forum with 1.8M users, SSL is overly necessary.

Is it a monetized package (the SSL certificate) if so how is it obtained (from your host or what) and sustained? (monthly or yearly payment)

It can be bought and installed on your server and it is renewed yearly. Your host should be the ones to sell the SSL certificate and install it for you.

Any website that doesn't have 's' lacks adequate security and doesn't value the security of its users.

famous Nigerian online mall; Konga uses https...so if through all your web surfing experience, you noticed that no Nigerian site uses https, i suggest you start widening your browsing experience.

HTTPS is communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer.

HTTPS authenticates visited website and protection of data privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.

If you do monetary transactions on your site where people enter their details and you refuse to secure it, you are part liable to risk that could be perpetrated by hackers

Even though the Stats says 1,845,938 members - I think, a lot of members have multiple monikers and some older members are no longer visiting Nairaland (they didn't bother to deactivate their account).
