Location of Nakoni in Niger

Nakoni (also: Nakone ) is a village in the municipality of Madaoua in Niger .

The village, led by a traditional local chief ( chef traditionnel ), is located around four kilometers northwest of the city center of Madaoua, which belongs to the Madaoua department of the same name in the Tahoua region. At the turn of the 20th to the 21st century, Nakoni consisted of two villages, each with their own local council: Nakoni Bizo (Nakone Bizo) and Nakoni Dado (Nakone Dodo). One of the larger villages in the vicinity of Nakoni is Azarori Sédentaire, a good two kilometers further north .

At the 2012 census, Nakoni had 5,317 inhabitants living in 764 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 2,762 in 453 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 1,770 in 297 households.

National Road 16 runs through Nakoni and connects the city center of Madaoua with the regional capital Tahoua in the northwest. The village is also on an international passage for shepherds and their herds, which leads to land use conflicts with the local arable farmers. At Nakoni there is a large pond in the bed of a dry valley , which is a feeder of the Tarka valley . This pond is only made accessible as a watering place for passing cattle when the harvest has been collected. In addition to farming on site, many Nakoni villagers also find work as agricultural workers in the gardens of the Arewa Valley in the municipality of Galma Koudawatché .
