volunteer: Source Hunter — find 3+ new Nigerian opportunity RSS feeds

[kamsirichard]

What we need

ScoutBot currently scrapes 8 RSS feeds. We want to grow this to 15+ so more opportunities reach Nigerian students.

We need someone to find new, working RSS feeds that publish scholarships, fellowships, internships, and bootcamps for Nigerian or African students.

Why this matters

Every new source you add can deliver 5–20 new opportunities per month to 500+ subscribers.

Exactly what to do

1. Search Google News for: nigeria scholarship 2026, fellowship Africa 2026, nigeria internship 2026
2. Note domains that appear consistently in results
3. Test each site for an RSS feed: try adding /feed, /rss, or /feed.xml to the domain URL
4. Check that the site is not Cloudflare-protected (if you see "Checking your browser…" when visiting, it's blocked)
5. Open a PR adding working feed URLs to GOOGLE_NEWS_RSS_NIGERIA or GOOGLE_NEWS_RSS_INTL in scoutbot/spiders/opportunities_spider.py

Format for PR

# In GOOGLE_NEWS_RSS_NIGERIA list:
"https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=nigeria+scholarship+2026&hl=en-NG&gl=NG&ceid=NG:en",

Skills needed

None — just a browser and an eye for quality sources. No coding required (but a PR is welcome).

How to apply

Comment on this issue with your name and when you can start. Or just open a PR — no approval needed.
