User:Celestina007/Celestina007's Nigerian reliable and unreliable sources

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Whilst the sources listed under Reliable sources are generally considered reliable in Nigeria, if you are a new page reviewer reading this, when dealing with Nigerian sources or any sources for that matter, it is not about reliable sources it is about “reliable pieces”. Note that these are my views alone.

Reliable sources

  1. The Punch
  2. Nigerian Tribune
