I love the sun

When I lived in Nigeria, I liked reading Vanguard and Weekend Concord. Those were those days

What of magazines? My favorite was Quality Magazine, a defunct sister publication of Newswatch magazine.

Wednesday Guardian is now dead, as far a I am concerned.

I've always liked the punch i practically grew up with it, i've not seen my dad with any other paper.

My other favourites are Guardian and Thisday

Compulife in the Guardian became useless after the advertisers stopped publishing prices in the ads.

Guardian is the best.The quality in general is superb.Sun is also good.

My best paper is the guardian newspaper without a doubt. I love the columns especially abati on friday and sunday! the cartoons are something else that obe ess guy is a whizz!!

Because of their way of reporting,I just love Sun.But career-wise,Tuesday and Thursday Guardians is my pick of the pack.

Yes o Reuben Abati on tuesdays and sundays, dang u aint got no job, than to start bringing out the "hard" words and start looking for the meaning, perceive what he's trying to do and earn urself a good ride to school for the week, lol good old times!

Abati's a friend to one of my lecturers. I love guardian but my old man buys punch

Let's be sincere, Nigerian newspapers are very boring. The adverts for jobs, computer parts, houses and so on are probably more interesting than most articles? Anyone who feels me?

i do feel you one this one.
do u believe that after a press breifing 70% pressmen wrote the content of the product write-up and flyers they where given word for word.
Creative level in news writing has far as i know is poor even the soft sell magazine too(expect True love)

punch! because ma dad used to get it and it had bare funny cartoons as well n didnt av 'bull' bout politics like guardian and dem lot

I like SOCCER STAR becos the lie alot eg. ETO'O is a Nigerian.{LOL}

there just can't be any newspaper like thisday, never.

sun newspaper is the thing, it's got cool stories.

How can anybody stand guardian? It's for old people and jobseekers , My best is Punch. Interesting read

I've just spent the past hour reading The Guardian and This Day. Its quite an odd experience; after reading mangled English, incorrect grammar and the lowest possible standards of journalism in every sense for a sustained period, one comes out quite disoriented. But you've heard me complain about Nigerian journalism before so what's new? It would be lovely to read a Nigerian paper and learn something new or incisive about the country, but unfortunately, this doesnt seem possible. Instead, one reads a mixture of hagiographic encomiums from sycophants, planted stories and over-long letters from various marginalised souls. One learns more about the country from talking to everyday people, not from getting ink rubbed off on the hands from the papers,

the Guardian

Ah ah bros cool down now. Besides how did you get your fingers stained with the print. Do they sell these papers in the Gambia

The person who wrote that message is a white man who lives in Nigeria.

it is mostly true though 

As for disneychick, punch is my favorite newspaper. I remember when l was in naija, my dad and mama always used to buy the punch every saturday and sunday. My favorite section used to me Dear Aunt Kemi. lol. lol. that was even when I was a kid not to talk of now am a full grown adult.

Everything about punch interests me like lifestyle, entertainment, fashion, cooking and my most favorite part is experience. Well, it's funny how you get hooked into something. Even in the states, l still find myself going to www.punchng.com every saturday and sunday because they got the very best stories. lol.lol.

My apologies to loverbwoy. i didnt know you were a white man. I guess you can view these issues more objectively than those of us here. I have read many papers from outside the country and i didnt see much of a difference except for the quality of print. But I was never one to look out for much details.

One thing I have noticed however is that Our newspapers these days seem to be totally unconcerned that their audience is not limited to adults and people seeking cheap gossip. The issue of Anita Hogan was the last in a series of supposedly hot stories which do nothing other than pry into other peoples private lives and print dirty pictures for the whole world to see. I saw a couple of small girls looking at these pictures and giggling uncontrollably. Once a niece of mine was reading a story in the punch and later i picked it up to see what she was reading. It was one of these short stories filled with details of intimate relations between a man and a woman. I don't think they realize what harm they are doing to our children.
