Also known as: Nigerian, Nigerian Sativa
What is the Nigerian Afropips strain?
Nigerian Afropips is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Nigerian Afropips is a pure landrace sativa strain originating from Nigeria, West Africa. It was preserved and distributed by the seed company Afropips, which specialized in collecting and stabilizing African landrace genetics before ceasing operations in the late 2000s. This strain represents one of the few commercially available pure Nigerian sativas, offering a direct connection to West African cannabis heritage without hybridization with modern cultivars.
The plant exhibits classic sativa characteristics with tall, lanky structure, long internodal spacing, and narrow, light green leaves. The buds are airy and elongated with orange pistils and a moderate trichome coverage. Nigerian Afropips is known for its exceptionally long flowering period, typically requiring 14-16 weeks to fully mature, which makes it challenging for commercial cultivation but prized by connoisseurs seeking authentic landrace experiences.
This strain is particularly notable for its cerebral, uplifting effects and distinctive terpene profile that reflects its African origins. The preservation of this genetic line provides valuable breeding material for sativa enthusiasts and genetic preservationists, though its availability has become limited since Afropips ceased operations. The strain represents an important piece of cannabis genetic history from a region with longstanding traditional cannabis use.
