The Obaland Magazine is a Nigerian daily national newspaper and a weekly Magazine. "Obaland" means (Land of the King) in Edo language, and was established in memory of Oba Ewuare, published by Obaland Magazine and multichoice media house, on its website obalandmagazine.com and in papers[1]. [2] In 2009, the magazine was founded by Obaland Magazine and multichoice media house in Nigeria, to be launched also in Turin by Davido.[3] and distributed around the Nigerian regions and in the Piedmont region in Italy. The magazine was successful, selling 25,000 printed copies at the launch ceremony [2]. The Obaland Magazine and multichoice media house was founded by a journalist, Mr Lucky Omosigho[4], who previously worked as a correspondent reporter in Nigerian Observer and RAI.[5][6]. In 2018, Obaland Magazine investigative journalist Lucky Omosigho wrote an article about African international human traffickers that led to the arrest of 300 suspected perpetrators from Italy, Nigeria and Ghana by Italian interpol. During a press conference held in Ghana related to the arrests, Lucky Omosigho was honored as Gentleman of the Press by Jerry Rawlings in Ghana[2]. On June 20th 2021, Obaland Magazine's chief editor Lucky Omosigho was arrested by armed men from Department of State Services (DSS) in Edo state, because he wrote and published a news article against Nigeria president Muhammadu Buhari's bad governance on Democracy day; the article was further deleted by DSS officers[7][8]. On June 21st 2021, Mr Lucky regained freedom from Department of State Services (DSS), after offering them a sum of money to save his life[7].
Crisis
In 2021, Obaland Magazine experienced financial crisis after the media company's account was confiscated by Supreme Court of Cassation (Italy) for tax evasion. The company lost reporters and went on its official website to announce job opportunities for young journalists in Nigeria to report from rural areas in the northern part of Nigeria.[2][9]
