How All Nigerian Newspapers works

A complete guide to how the All Nigerian Newspapers app works — from the home feed and sources to categories, news by state, notifications, saving and settings.

All Nigerian Newspapers is simple to use, but understanding how each part works helps you get the most from it. This guide walks through the app from opening it to reading a full story, explaining the home feed, sources, categories, states, alerts, saving and settings along the way. Whether you're brand new or just want to use the app more fully, this is your complete reference. To follow along, you can download All Nigerian Newspapers free on Google Play.

1. The home feed

When you open the app, the home feed is the first thing you see — a live stream of the latest headlines and top stories from across the Nigerian press, refreshed through the day as publishers post new content. Each entry shows a headline and short summary. Pull down to refresh for the newest items. The home feed is your at-a-glance view of everything happening right now, and for many readers a quick daily scan here is all they need to feel caught up.

2. Sources and newspapers

The Sources area lists the newspapers you can follow — Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian, Premium Times, Daily Trust, ThisDay and more. Selecting a source shows its recent stories, so you can read a single paper on its own if you prefer. This is handy when you want one outlet's full take, or to explore what a particular paper is covering. The available sources may change over time as publishers update their sites. See the full list of supported newspapers.

3. Categories

Categories let you filter the news by topic: Politics, Business, Economy, Sports, Entertainment, Technology, Education, Health, Metro, Opinion and Lifestyle. Each category gathers relevant stories from across all sources, so you get many perspectives on the subjects you care about. Categories are the fastest way to cut through the noise and read only what interests you. Learn more on the Categories page, or see news categories explained.

4. News by state

News by State lets you focus your feed on any of Nigeria's 36 states or the FCT — Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Rivers, Oyo and the rest. Selecting a state surfaces stories from that region, and you can combine a state with a category to narrow further, like Lagos business news. This is one of the app's most powerful features, especially for local readers and the diaspora. See the News by State page or the news by state guide.

5. Reading a full story

Tapping any headline opens the complete article on the publisher's own website, so you always read the original, full report exactly as published. This is central to how the app works: it shows you the headlines and takes you to the source for the full story. Nothing is rewritten or altered. If a full article is slow to open, it's loading the publisher's website, so a busy source site can occasionally be the cause — trying again shortly usually helps.

6. Breaking-news notifications

In Settings, you can enable optional breaking-news notifications and choose which topics trigger them. When major news breaks in a topic you follow, you'll get an alert on your lock screen. You control everything — which topics, and whether alerts are on at all — and you can change it any time. For a full walkthrough, see how to enable breaking-news notifications.

7. Saving articles

Tap the save or bookmark icon on any article to keep it, then find it again in your saved list whenever you're ready to read. This is perfect for building a reading list or setting aside long articles for later. See how to save articles for more.

8. Search

Use the search feature to quickly find a specific newspaper, category or story from the sources you follow. Search is the fastest route to something specific when you don't want to scroll, and it makes even a large feed feel manageable. Type a few words and you're taken straight to what you're looking for — a particular paper, a topic, or a developing story you want to read more about.

9. Reading settings

In Settings you can switch on dark mode for comfortable night reading and adjust the text size for readability. Your preferences are remembered between sessions. These small touches make a real difference to everyday reading, especially at night or for anyone who prefers larger, clearer type. See dark mode & text size for details.
