YouTube is currently working on releasing a user data-friendly version of its video sharing site called YouTube GO for Nigerians.

The service still in its beta stage is available for initial public installation onto Android powered devices.

Having taken into consideration the peculiar situation of Nigeria with its network connectivity, infrastructure and data cost, the popular video streaming site brings offline download options with options for data size to choose from to download the videos.

“YouTube Go has been designed to take into account the challenges faced by YouTube users in countries like Nigeria, such as data cost and connectivity. With YouTube Go, we are making it possible for everyone in Nigeria to be able to discover videos that they love, regardless of their network status or data consumption preferences.”

With more Nigerians coming online every year, and most of them only using their mobiles for internet access, we are working hard to make products that are tailored to Nigerians’ specific needs.

“You can save videos for offline watching, and can choose what resolution video to save – basic quality or standard quality – giving you better control over how you use your precious data.”, he added.

With a 9MB app size, you get to watch your favorite comedy skits, music videos, cooking shows and more, try it now.
