—————————————————————————————
Nigerians Abroad magazine (print) is now accepting news article submission from individuals to be published in the magazine’s December issue.
Are you passionate about issues that affect Nigerians, especially within their diaspora hub? Are you a good and informed writer? Have you been looking for a credible platform to reach out to thousands of audiences, Nigerians and non Nigerians alike? If your answers to these questions are yes, then it’s time to unleash your creativity and ideology. NA magazine would be pleased to receive your article for a review.
News articles for publication should focus on an issue, event, organization, person, project, policy, or place that is of public interest in any part of the world and that could be of benefit to Nigerians home and abroad.
Nigerians Abroad magazine is a current affairs magazine and our goal is to establish a platform where published articles and news analysis will directly or indirectly address and advance the interest of the Nigerian diaspora community such as the Nigerian diaspora and their integration with mainstream communities, politics of nation building, business and entrepreneurial development, social-cultural relations, wise investment and career advancement.
Lastly, We welcome proposals from both experienced and inexperienced writers. We receive numerous queries for each issue, and often end up with more good ideas than the magazine can hold. If we like your pitch, we will decide whether it is best suited for the magazine or the NigeriansAbroadLive.com web site. Writing for the web site is an especially good opportunity for new writers who are looking to explore ideas and formats best suited for the digital world. Most articles that do not make it into the printed magazine will usually become part of the NigeriansAbroadLive.com web site upon the issue’s launch.
