In Nigeria, the freedom of expression is protected by Section 39 (1) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria constitution. Despite this constitutional protection, the Nigerian media was controlled by the government throughout much of its history, with some even to this day. By 2020, however, over 100 newspapers in Nigeria were independent. Furthermore, there was a brief period from 1979 to 1983 when the government of the Second Nigerian Republic handed over the task of censorship to the military. Nigerian censors typically target certain kinds of ideas, such as ethnic discussions, political opposition, and morality incorrectness. However there is a new law about censorship that limits the freedom of speech in Nigeria called the antisocial media law.
