Abuja - Post Report Question and Answers
English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
Yes. Direct TV is about US$150 per month. - May 2013
Magazines and newspapers available in the local press are of poor quality. Articles are often not well-written and lack credibility. DSTV and Hi-TV are available. DSTV is about $60 per month and offers a decent range of international channels and programming. Hi-TV is more limited, but it is popular because it has exclusive broadcasting rights for English Premier League football matches. - Jun 2009
Everyone has AFN, and I would recommend watching AFN News or going on-line to keep up-to-date. Some people buy DSTV, which has BBC and CNN World News. Reading Nigerian newspapers will be more for a good laugh. - Sep 2008
