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 at https://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.

      U can find it anywhere,just type it on google.The problem is there is always a price tag and mostly in dollars,so u need credit card to purchase it.

    Nice attempt. But Nigerians won't read books via phone.

    The phone itself is a distraction. How can you read from a distracting device? What happens to people who hardly have access to power supply? I really don't think Nigerians will appreciate it.

      Anonymous 12.17am, its quite obvious you are one of the people that don't read in the first place, your entire statement is out of whack, the average nigerian cannot right or speak properly, such a shame! I have read books for years, thank God for schools like corona, where we were taught properly, as for the peson asking for where you can get books online, go to www.kobo.com, and my favourite www.onread.com, there isn't a book you wouldn't find there.

    Truly, our reading habit is poor. Students believe that they can get all the informations they need in phones and laptops instead of going through books and dictionaries. The idea of online books is okay because I believe that students will prefer it. It'll be easier to read at anytime and one don't need to carry books around in the name of reading. But the disadvantage is that it will cause eye problem because looking continuously at the screen is not advisable.

    Reading on mobile apps is not the same as reading books, so caanot take place of books. 1.You can read a book anywhere, anytime. 2.can make side notes to highlight salient points or as summary to quickly go back to. 3. With issues regarding power supply, how long will your mobile apps hold out before the battery runs down? 4, while using apps there are distractions such as incominng calls, pop ups that can make you abandone ur reading. I know this is the Technology era, however, even in the developed countries, they still use /read books.

    Although our reading culture may be bad, I do think this is a great start. There are people out there who really love reading but cannot afford a book but okada books makes it easy (and cheaper) to read. Kudos to the developer. Such things inspire me :)....oh thanks Linda for posting this.

    Cldn't download the app because it is not compatible with my device (Nexus 7).Hence, I can't say much about the app. They should update it so we can download it.

    It's so sad to know that the reading culture of young Nigeria is on a steady decline. I still think that there are few young nigerians like myself who still take some time out to read. I must give credit to the person that actually thought of this idea. Good job.

    I have been reading books on my phone for years. It's a fantastic way to read on the go especially because time is in short supply. Although, if you do not already have a reading culture, it's going to make you cultivate one

    Dee....seriously??one can't please people at all. Infact I love the title. Why should we be concerned about what the white man thinks?? Okadabooks is a perfect title. We are Nigerians. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your identity.... if we continue like this, more people will be proud and intrested in our culture (and our local slangs).....
