This means that any message or call received on WhatsApp from a phone number that starts with the Area Code +234 will be from a Nigeria phone number.

All WhatsApp messages with Area Code +234 are from Nigeria?

If we receive a call or if we receive WhatsApp messages from a phone number that starts with an Country Code +234, this contact will have as origin a number of a SIM card originating from Nigeria.

This does not mean that if we receive a WhatsApp message with this prefix it must be located in Nigeria, but simply means that the SIM card is from this country. That is, a user can send or receive messages with a Nigeria Area Code (+234) but being located in a different country.
