Abstract

Work life is changing and there is a new wave of work mode that is taking over the 21st century work space. Digital nomadicity has been an issue of discussion in the innovation space in the last one decade and the idea is becoming more and more accepted and explored across the world. Quite a number of research have been done on the emergence and lifestyle of digital nomads in different parts of the world but little or no empirical study has been done on the emergence of digital nomads in Nigeria and how this is influencing the regular 9-to-5 work. This study explores digital nomads on the basis of their four digital nomads elements such as adventure and global travel, digital gig, gig work and nomadic work. This study serves as a reference to the emerging digital nomadicity in Nigeria and the changing landscape of work life for technology entrepreneurs.
