Will Nigerians Read Books On Mobile Phones?

The reading culture of Nigerians has been on a steady decline for some time now. The decline can be attributed to many factors from a tough economy to a general lack of reading interest in the younger generation. Some have even gone as far as blaming the poor reading culture on mobile devices.

Now there is a new app called okadabooks that is putting Nigerian books on mobile phones in a bid to get people to read on phones. The app has a diverse collection of books from Nigerian authors and even past WAEC/JAMB questions with answers. Continue...

This all sounds like a good idea, but the question is will Nigerians actually read and buy books on their phone and will students actually study with their phones. Check out the app athttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okadabooks and let us know what you think about it and the Nigerian reading culture in general.

Reading any writeup is always better on phone or systems rather than books.

Reading online has been my habit. I've read a lot of books online - Twilight, Harry Potter series, The Da Vince code, Alchemist - and I find it alot more easier cos since I cannot read books, I chose to do it electronically. I don't use an Android phone so I don't think I can get Okadabooks from Playstore. I just think online or having it on your computer is much better.

Sometimes I am forced to relent in my efforts to contribute my own quota towards the growth and development of ANSU social sector. This is because my efforts are mistaken to be a trick and a way to get into ANSU politics. Which is fallacy! Rumors already have it that I intend vying for the office of the Director of Social (D.O.S) in the forthcoming elections. I little wonder who told them that. Whoever started that rumor is a good rumor monger and should be employed! Well, my friends, my little contribution to the growth of ANSU is due to the passion I have to be a change that I want to see. The last encounter I had with students from UNILAG was an unpleasant. It happened some months ago when I paid the Literature students a visit and introduced myself as a student of ANSU. But I was shocked when non of the students admitted to be familiar with the name ANSU talk more of Igbariam Campus. They asked me weather I was talking of UNIZIK, I said no, its near Unizik. Still my efforts t
