    Background: The aim of this study was to examine the factors predicting the acceptance of COVID 19 vaccines in West Africa, with a focus on Nigeria. Four (4) hypotheses were posed for this study. Methods: This study employed a descriptive method design. The sample size was comprised of 32,224 respondents, all Nigeria citizens. A multistage sampling technique was employed for the survey involving quantitative data. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The data collected for this study were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics (t-test and ANOVA). Results: The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant difference in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance based on age F (9, 32214) = 812.114, P<0.05, ƞ2=0.1849; based on gender differences t = (32222) = -21.808, P<0.05; based on religion t = (32222) = --75.228, P<0.05; and based on income F (4, 32219) = 740.394, P<0.05, ƞ2=0.084. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that there is a significant relationship between age, gender, religion, income and the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria. The findings further show that men are more vaccine-hesitant than women; older people find it easier to accept vaccination; Christians are more likely to accept COVID-19 vaccines than people from other religions. It is therefore recommended that religious leaders should be well educated on the health benefit of the COVID-19 vaccination and that the government should put more effort into improving the economy of the country so that the individual income can improve.Pozadina: Cilj ove studije bio je ispitati čimbenike koji predviđaju prihvaćanje cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 u zapadnoj Africi, s naglaskom na Nigeriju. Postavljene su četiri hipoteze. Metode: U ovoj studiji primijenjen je dizajn deskriptivne metode. Uzorak se sastojao od 32 224 ispitanika, od kojih su svi građani Nigerije. Za istraživanje je primijenjena tehnika višefaznog uzorkovanja koja uključuje kvantitativne podatke. Kao instrument za prikupljanje podataka primijenjen je upitnik. Podaci prikupljeni za ovu studiju analizirani su primjenom deskriptivne i inferencijalne statistike (t-test i ANOVA). Rezultati: Nalazi ove studije otkrili su da postoji značajna razlika u prihvaćanju cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 na temelju dobi: F (9, 32 214) = 812 114, P < 0,05, ƞ2 = 0,1849; na temelju spolnih razlika: t = (32 222) = –21 808, P < 0,05; na temelju religije: t = (32 222) = –75 228, P<0,05; te na temelju prihoda: F (4, 32 219) = 740 394, P < 0,05, ƞ2 = 0,084. Zaključak: Nalazi ove studije pokazuju da postoji značajan odnos između dobi, spola, vjere, prihoda i prihvaćanja cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 u Nigeriji. Nalazi dalje pokazuju da muškarci više oklijevaju u pogledu cjepiva od žena; starije osobe lakše prihvaćaju cijepljenje; vjerojatnije je da će kršćani prihvatiti cjepiva protiv bolesti COVID-19 nego ljudi drugih vjeroispovijesti. Stoga se preporučuje da vjerski vođe budu dobro obrazovani o zdravstvenim prednostima cijepljenja protiv bolesti COVID-19 te da vlada uloži više napora u poboljšanje gospodarstva zemlje kako bi se mogli poboljšati individualni prihodi
