47-year old New Nigerian Newspapers, Founded By Sir Ahmadu Bello, Closed Down By Angry Employees
The 47-year old New Nigerian Newspapers established by the late Premier of Northern Nigeria and Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello, have been closed down...by its own employees.
The irate workers are protesting the company’s failure to pay a 10-month backlog of salaries and other benefits being owed to them, for which they blame the Northern Governors.
Also in combat with the company are its pensioners, who are angry over the non-payment of their gratuities.
Embarking on their ‘work to rule’ action, the workers have posted several placards on the walls drawing attention to their complaints and the misfortune trailing the company.
Two of the placards read, “Sir Ahmadu Bello is weeping in his grave because of the attitude of Northern Governors”, and “Pay Us Our Monies”.

re: employees closes down NNN
some people are so myopic, so moronic in thinking, so pathetically unreasonable,so hopelessly senseless,u wonder with what they used to think or reason. What has the crisis in NNN got to do with Islam, business in the north, dangote's business in Lagos, illetracy in the north, northern governors and boko haram,et al. Sentiments seems to becloud their sense of reason completely.
The North
The Northerners are jokers,look at Nigeria and the North after how many years of ruling - their people and society remains backward with no development - all they can show is dirty almajiri children begging and nonentities always willing to fight - kill - rape and maim, even Dangote would not set up business in the north. It is a sad state of affairs and that is why they are so desperate because they know that their days of coups and ruling is over. Northern governors are the most useless of their kind - no vision, little or no education and clueless. Boko Haram is a product of their uselessness and desperation but hey it ain't going to work.
Ahmadu Bello was a deluded piece of dung - read the following plans these imbeciles had for Nigeria.

NNN down
The newspaper has long lost it's voice,and sold it's truth to the governors of the North to the detriment of the whole Nigerians.As long as I know it gives old news which have been read from other dailies, Shame on the workers and shame on the governors.
What has GEJ got to do with
What has GEJ got to do with the closing down of a failed northern newspaper. Mind you Nigeria is not meant for just one sect o freligion and making the country unrulable for him is a stupid thing to do because it wont only affect the Christians only or have you forgotten that there are muslims in the south too. Its high time we shun religious and ethnic differences and think of a way forward. As for me, i'll rather support a fisherman's son than the son of a shoemaker who is a 'mai ruwa himself'
Why do the workers want to be
Why do the workers want to be paid, just for showing up for work? Nonsense! Whenever on tries to read news from New Nigeria there will be nothing to read. I thought it had been shut down long ago. It is the worst news media ever, very childish and illiterate. No wonder the Mohammedans say that boko is haram. Little did Prophet Mohammed know that he was creating a monster in Northern Nigeria. Shege banza.
Yes, its criminal for GEJ 2rule
Yes, its criminal for that son of a fish to rule. He hates us and we will make it impossible for him to rule this country. Were you manly enough to come but not with an Anonymous face you would have received FATWA for daring to pray for our QUORAN in jesus NAME. Phew!
NEWSPAPER NO ONE READS
Why would the company not fold up? This is part of the ruins in the North which is causing for others in Nigeria today. Nothing works anymore because we have been deceived for too lond by our own so called elites.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
What has GEJ has 2do wt ds issue
What has GEJ has 2do wt ds or is it a crime 4 smbdy 4rm southern part of d country 2rule ds nation or a we no longer one Nigeria. 4ur information God ds nt answer such prayers. God 'll continue 2guide n protect him n our country Nigeria in Jesus Christ name. Amen
NNN closed down by employees
It pains me so much when i hear 19 northern states. Please, count Middle Belt out of it. The zoning is religiously motivated.
Mallam chiroma
Omoa abi wetin you call your self, wat ever it is u are saying please leave the holy QUR‘AN out of it, the Qur‘an has nothing to do with nigerian politics or the closure of NNN. If you dont have things to say just shut up and stop blabing.
GEJ had to bail out the
GEJ had to bail out the textile industry owned by the 19 boko haram infested states in the North recently. Now new 9ja newspapers is going down the hammer. We read how some of the governors in the North, allegedly spend billions of naira to feed almajiris on sallah days instead of investing such in projects that can help turn the lives of their people around. Sad they cannot pull their resources together to keep their establishments and the workers going in NN. We have Odua investment becoming stronger daily, in spite of the global economic situation. Yes Gov have no business investing money in these firms, but we have also seen companies in europe and america go down the hammer because of mismanagement. The main issue here is about the Northern Gov working to protect and improve on their investments and not call for the establsihment of Islamic bank. Simply because the Saudis, Kuwaitis and the south africans have one. we need resource control period.

I only pity the staff for not
I only pity the staff for not being paid , No government should own or run a News Media outlet . It takes away from the journalists freedom of the press , and it denies the citizens freedom of information . Good bye NNN , more of those useless government controlled Newspapers to go .
labourers deserves their wage
i think the staff of NNN are the most patient workers in the world. 10 months without salary and the northern governors are still sitting in their comfort zone? its a BIG SHAME!
I understand that people on
I understand that people on Saharareporter are not people.For you just heat north and hausa.but god had already delivery god. Thank you GOD. And the heaters you may die.
create 20 more states in the north for more oil revenues for NN
My solution to NN newspapers problem: Jonathan must totally seize power so as to decree 20 more states in the north in addition to the existing 19. This way there mey flow more oil revenues to the northern governors to address the problems of New Nigeria. But how can a newspaper survive if few people read it?
Mallam Ciroma Where Is The Money Of The Employees?
Mallam Ciroma & Sanusi Lamido should be held accountable for the unpaid salaries of the workers of New Nigerian Newspapers. Mallam Ciroma used the salaries of workers to fund the terrorist organization Boko Haram. The same is said of the islamic Banking. Newspapers are run by the monies derived in advertising & other activities of the print media but government still allocates money to them. The government budgets & adverts money go to the corrupt Greedy Bastards the high ranking bosses & the govt. officials. When will Nigerian Govt. stop operating businesses meant for private concerns? The government use these businesses as a front.....an avenue of stealing the tax payers money. In the pasts Nigerians were naive, they used to say na govt. money, watin concerns you. Who are the govt? We the people....the tax payers. Is our money. Maybe they learnt that from the Koran. Please sell it to private operators.

Daily Trust To The Rescue
All the legacies of the old and sincere Northern leaders are being made extinct by this Southern pimp called Jonathan. Allah will judge him. Boko Haram will get his head Insha Allah.
The goverment has no business
The goverment has no business in doing business. This is another governmental venture to no avail.

Northern Governors Thieves Forum
Northern Governors Forum is a Thieves Forum. They only gather for their selfish interests. See how Boko Haram is destroying their states and the 19 idiots called Governors have not come out to take any decisive action.
Northan Newspapers
Short it down. Nothing that government put hands works. Not only Northern governors. No need to open it again. u na don run am down.
Where is Muhammed Abdullahi?
I thought Muhammad Abdullahi who knows how to whip northern and Islamic sentiments would have come to their rescue. Northern Nigeria has never been known for any sustainable good thing so I am not surprised that 19 Governors can not sustain a newspaper house. If there was money to be looted from the newspaper company, you would have seen them killing themselves over it. Give that company to one southerner and in 6-months he will revive it, but let an Hausa/Fulani take over and the place will go bankrupt the next day. That is how they have continued to milk dry the Federal GOVT.
Nigerian Tribune not New Nigerian,is the oldest surviving paper
For your information, Nigerian Tribune is the oldest surviving Nigerian newspaper.I should think a paper founded in 1948 is supposed to be older than the one founded in 1964/65. It is not a matter of triviality,I'm just stating a fact.
Sharia Pimps
The sharia pimps are busy hussling and lying to their people.
You don't need the newspaper anyways, according to Boko Haram. Why read, when you can have 42 MALE virgins in HELL.
Wey all the sales money?
na wa o, a dey interested in buying printing machines if you want to sell a beg o.
