Nigeria programming community have large numbers of web applications developers. I was even planning to create A.I group, were we can share ideas and learn together, but no community.

Please do, and invite me.
The group could turn out great and might be a learning centre for newbies.

Even at school, they were very few students into AI/data science or networking sef.

@osarenomaspecial There is a machine learning channel in the slack group. That's cool.

I believe there is a community (although still very young). It's called Data Science Nigeria. Here's a link to their webiste and twitter handle. OneFi is one of the key organizations spearheading this movement and they had a loan risk prediction challenge on kaggle (see link below)

website - http://www.datasciencenigeria.org/
twitter - https://twitter.com/DataScienceNIG
kaggle challenge - https://www.kaggle.com/c/data-science-nigeria-credit-risk-prediction

It is also possible that there other Data Science communities existing in Nigeria that I haven't heard about.
