micseyi:
I keep noticing a recurrent trend on Nairaland and on the social media space on how Yorubas ‘dominate’ the media. People keep using the phrase ‘Yoruba dominated media’.

Now my question is that which media exactly is dominated by Yorubas? I sincerely don’t understand.

I had to make a personal research and I did not notice any ethnic group dominating the media.

Even Omokri erroneously said the Yorubas dominate the media. https://www.nairaland.com/5915553/igbos-dominates-nigerias-commercial-sector

From my research using Wikipedia, here are the owners of the most popular media groups in Nigeria.

1. NTA: Nigerian Government
2. Channels TV: owner from Edo State
3. TVC: owned by Yoruba man
4. AIT: owner from Edo State
5. Silverbird: owner from Bayelsa State
6. Daily Trust: owned by northerners from sokoto State
7. Nigeria Tribune: Owned by a Yoruba group
8. The Punch: Owned by Yoruba man
9. This Day: Owned by an Igbo woman
10. The Sun: Owned by an Igbo group
11. Vanguard: Owner was from Delta State
12. Guardian: Owner from Delta State

Above media organisations, are no doubt the most popular and widely used in Nigeria. I don’t see any domination from any ethnic group, but this is just my view and I may be wrong. I need someone to explain to me these assertions that Yorubas dominate the media
