I was dazed and excited when I heard this and only my classmates will understand why!

After 140 years of it's extinction, Iwe Irohin, Nigeria's first Newspaper has resurfaced! The paper which was founded by Reverend Henry Townsend in 1859 in Abeokuta has been brought back by the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ). The first edition was launched last week and I'm already in search for it! Hehe!
