Welcome to the NEXT Community!

You have reached the NEXT Community. Welcome! NEXT (publishers of NEXT Daily, NEXT on Sunday and 234NEXT.com) invites you to be part of our multi‐channel media service. With this new service, you will help to redefine how news and stories are covered in Nigeria and around Africa.

We are not simply a printed newspaper that happens to have a website. In the age of converging media, where people are just as likely to consume news content online or on their mobile devices, we offer our readers an opportunity to contribute localized stories from their communities.

Please read our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before proceeding. Your submissions become the property of Timbuktu Media, the parent company of NEXT. NEXT does not edit these submissions but we will review them for language appropriateness. For time sensitive or critical stories, we will deploy our staff to follow up on them.
