Naija is a PHP package that provides data about States, Local Government Areas, cities, and towns in Nigeria.

This package is inspired by https://github.com/Mercyware/Nigerian-States.

With this package you can retrieve the following state-related information:

  • Name
  • Capital
  • Political Zone
  • Creation Date
  • Population - Male and female
  • Website
  • Logo
  • Flag
  • Nick Name
  • Languages
  • Local Governments Areas
  • Areas - villages, towns, and cities

Usage

Install via:

    composer require emmadonjo/naija
use Emmadonjo\Naija\Naija;

// get list of states with minimal information
$states = Naija::states();

// get the comprehensive information of a state
$state = Naija::state('Abia');

// get all the attributes of a state
$state->getAttributes();

// get name
$state->getName();

// get nickname
$state->getNickName();

// get official name
$state->getOfficialName();

// get short code
$state->getShortCode();

// get capital
$state->getCapital();

// get geo political zone
$state->getGeoPoliticalZone();

// get date created
$state->getDateCreated();

// get population
$state->getPopulation();

// get website
$state->getWebsite();

// get logo
$state->getLogo();

// get flag
$state->getFlag();


// get languages
$state->getLanguages();

// get LGAs
$state->getLgas();

// get areas - villages, cities, and towns
$state->getAreas();

Display assets - logos and flags To display logos and flags of states, you can copy the assets to the images folder in the accessible location of your application.

For example, if you are developing with laravel, copy:

  • resources/logos to public/images/logos, and
  • resources/flags to public/images/flags

Then you can access the assets as follows:

  • /images/logos/abia.png
  • /images/flags/abia.png

Contributing

Contributions are welcome — whether that's fixing or filling in a state's LGA/area data, or improving the PHP API. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the data format, sourcing requirements, and how to run the test suite.
