Abstract: This study investigates the interdependent structure between Nigeria and developed stock market using directed acyclic graph with Bayesian estimation techniques for the period of March 11, 2020 to July 31, 2021. The dynamic Granger causal test of both the contemporaneous and autoregressive estimation were done using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation method with Metropolis-Hasting (MH) sampling technique. The graphical structure of the instantaneous and autoregressive results shows returns correlation for Nigeria’s stock market and both China and India’s stock market while absence of return correlation are found for both US and UK stock market. The result implies that Nigeria’s stock market has potential diversification benefit for the US and UK investors during pandemic crises. In addition, US stock market returns is found to depend on China stock market returns while volatility spill over runs from the US stock market to China’s stock market. Last, UK stock market tends to depend on India’s stock market. The implication of the study is that Nigeria’s stock market is integrated with China and India’s stock market while China’s stock market is linked to the US stock market such that any financial shock from the lead stock markets is transmitted to the lagged stock markets.
