Nigeria news has had a colourful, intriguing and fascinating history. Traditionally, Nigeria news was transmitted with a variety of local instruments: drums, sticks, gongs, fire, and voice e.t.c.

The nearby people must discover a solution to transmit news of joy, death and war to their community devoid of the positive aspects of cell phones, radios, tv and all most up-to-date technology.

This really is where the story gets fascinating.

The people today devised methods to communicate extended distance using the 'famous talking drums'. It's fascinating to watch masters of this act; send and receive messages merely by beating a drum. For the unwary onlooker, the drummers are causing a cacophony of sounds, but for the educated ears with the drummers; a lively, heated argument or conversation akin to cell phone chat of currently is going on.

In jest, drummers have already been recognized to query the beauty and womanliness from the other neighborhood and strength of its male folk. The drum was an integral component of the communal life. The drum marked calendar of festivals on the communities. It recorded deaths, births.

Currently, Nigeria News is transmitted primarily by way of the radio, newspaper and electronic version. 1st, Nigeria news was transmitted through the newspapers, state owned radio and later government owned Television stations. During these periods, the government had monopoly of dissemination of facts to Nigerians. In time, private owned newspapers, radio and tv stations came on board to challenge the government owned corporations.
