--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West
Africa. It is the most populous country in Africa. It is geographically situated
between the Sahel to the north and the Gulf of Guinea to the south in the
Atlantic Ocean. It covers an area of 923,769 square kilometres (356,669 sq mi),
with a population of over 211 million. Nigeria borders Niger in the north, Chad
in the northeast, Cameroon in the east, and Benin in the west. Nigeria is a
federal republic comprising 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, where
the capital, Abuja, is located. The largest city in Nigeria is Lagos, one of the
largest metropolitan areas in the world and the second-largest in Africa.

Nigeria has been home to several indigenous pre-colonial states and kingdoms
since the second millennium BC, with the Nok civilization in the 15th century BC
marking the first internal unification in the country. The modern state
originated with British colonialization in the 19th century, taking its present
territorial shape with the merging of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and
Northern Nigeria Protectorate in 1914 by Lord Lugard. The British set up
administrative and legal structures while practising indirect rule through
traditional chiefdoms in the Nigeria region. Nigeria became a formally
independent federation on October 1, 1960. It experienced a civil war from 1967
to 1970, followed by a succession of democratically elected civilian governments
and military dictatorships, until achieving a stable democracy in the 1999
presidential election; the 2015 election was the first time an incumbent
president had lost re-election.

Nigeria is a multinational state inhabited by more than 250 ethnic groups
speaking 500 distinct languages, all identifying with a wide variety of
cultures. The three largest ethnic groups are the Hausa in the north, Yoruba in
the west, and Igbo in the east, together comprising over 60% of the total
population. The official language is English, chosen to facilitate linguistic
unity at the national level. Nigeria’s constitution ensures freedom of religion
and it is home to some of the world’s largest Muslim and Christian populations,
simultaneously. Nigeria is divided roughly in half between Muslims, who live
mostly in the north, and Christians, who live mostly in the south; indigenous
religions, such as those native to the Igbo and Yoruba ethnicities, are in the
minority.

Nigeria is a regional power in Africa, a middle power in international affairs,
and is an emerging global power. Nigeria’s economy is the largest in Africa, the
25th-largest in the world by nominal GDP, and 25th-largest by PPP. Nigeria is
often referred to as the Giant of Africa owing to its large population and
economy and is considered to be an emerging market by the World Bank. However,
the country ranks very low in the Human Development Index and remains one of the
most corrupt nations in the world. Nigeria is a founding member of the African
Union and a member of many international organizations, including the United
Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, NAM, the Economic Community of West
African States, and OPEC. It is also a member of the informal MINT group of
countries and is one of the Next Eleven economies.

Newspapers published in Nigeria have a strong tradition of the principle of
“publish and be damned” that dates back to the colonial era when founding
fathers of the Nigerian press such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ernest Ikoli, Obafemi
Awolowo and Lateef Jakande used their papers to fight for independence.

Until the 1990s, most publications were government-owned, but private papers
such as the Daily Trust, Nigerian Tribune, The Punch, Vanguard and the Guardian
continued to expose public and private scandals despite government attempts at
suppression.

Laws related to the media, including newspapers, are scattered across various
pieces of legislation. There are few good sources of discussion and analysis of
these laws.

Some Newspapers depend heavily on advertisements that may be placed by companies
owned by powerful people. In some cases, this makes the papers cautious in
reporting details of crimes or suspected crimes, and sometimes they carry
articles that paint clearly corrupt individuals in a favourable light. An
analysis of newspapers shows a strong bias towards coverage of males, reflecting
prevalent cultural biases. Few articles discuss women and there are few
photographs of women outside the fashion sections. Although earnings have
declined since the late 1980s the number of publications has steadily grown. As
of 2008 there were over 100 national, regional or local newspapers.

Online newspapers have become popular since the rise of internet accessibility
in Nigeria; more than ten percent of the top fifty websites in the country are
devoted to online newspapers. Due to improved mobile penetration and the growth
of smartphones, Nigerians have begun to rely on the internet for news. Online
newspapers have also been able to bypass government restrictions because content
can be shared without the need for any physical infrastructure. The result has
been a disruption of the traditional sources of news which have dominated the
media industry. Recent online newspapers include Sahara Reporters, Ripples
Nigeria, and Premium Times.” – WIKIPEDIA
