I don't know what is so impressive about resurrecting a long dead newspaper from the museum. When other offline newspapers are losing sales and everyone is going for news online. I want to see how they will thrive. 1 Like |

I thought it was a Yoruba newspaper but i can see English content there. Anyways, the fact that they were the first does not automatically mean that they will be patronized. They have to be up and doing to tickle people's fancy. |

afam4eva: I thought it was a Yoruba newspaper but i can see English content there.It wasn't a yoruba newspaper but a nigerian newspaper which had a yoruba name just like everyother newspaper suchas punch which is English name. It was even named and way established by a whiteman. Please remove that gums in your eyes and see clearly, okay? |

Aderostock: Sounds like you have a personal vendetta against the Yoruba tribe. Nigeria's official language is 'English', not 'Yoruba'. It has a Yoruba name and started in a Yoruba state, doesn't that say something? 1 Like |
