Get free Nigerian books on your mobile phone - Okadabooks








Okadabooks allows anyone in Nigeria(for now), pay for books with mobile credit(most of the books are free anyway) instead of using credit cards which have not been widely adopted in the country yet. They have been able to get more that 7500 downloads in the first 2 months and are still only on the Android mobile platform! 
Nice.

Saying I am Impressed would be an understatement. I get very excited at the slightest sense of progress in my beloved country, Nigeria. This is a very good app that will revolutionize the way we read and study, not only in Africa but world-wide. The user interface is very good and it's easy to use.

  • 90% of the books on the app are free
  • Secondary school students can get access to past WAEC and JAMB questions (I would've died for this during my time... *sigh). 
  • You can become an author and publish your own books.

Anyway, enough ranting from my ends. You can get the app on Google Play here
