Registered here vs used here

The RIR count is what was allocated to organisations registered in Nigeria; DB-IP’s count is where it estimates addresses are used. DB-IP places 118,422 more IPv4 addresses in Nigeria than were allocated here, which happens when networks registered elsewhere (cloud providers, multinationals) operate in the country.
