Dickle #18: Nigeria 🇳🇬

The puzzle for 12 August 2026 asked for the published average stretched penile length in Nigeria. Here is the answer and the study behind it.

The answer

Stretched length · Nigeria

13.37 cm

5.26 in

That's 0.44 cm above the worldwide average of 12.93 cm.

Higher than 61% of the 24 countries in the game.

Source: Orakwe et al., 2006 · 115 men · Measured twice by one investigator.

What that figure rests on

Orakwe et al., 2006, measuring 115 men. Method: measured twice by one investigator.

This study did not bone-press, which means it reads roughly a centimetre lower than a bone-pressed study would on the same men. Comparisons against bone-pressed countries are partly comparing rulers.

The worldwide pooled mean for this measure is 12.93 cm, from Belladelli et al., World J Mens Health, 2023 (55,761 men). See methodology for the four ways any of these figures can be wrong.

How it sat in the game

Nigeria is #10 of the 24 countries in the rotation. That is 0.6 cm above the list median of 12.77 cm.

Both comparisons are against a two-dozen-country list assembled by which studies happen to exist, not by any sampling of the world. And the spread between individual men inside Nigeria is several times wider than the gap between any two countries here, so none of this describes anyone.
