Nikolaou and Yioi are one of the oldest and most well-established printing houses in Cyprus, dating back to the early twentieth century. The company was founded in 1925 by Georgios Nikolaou and his sons and was initially located in the heart of Nicosia's old town.

During the mid-twentieth century, there were several newspapers and publications in Nicosia that were affiliated with the nationalist and anti-colonial movement in Cyprus and that supported the political positions of Samson and Archbishop Makarios III.

One of the most prominent newspapers of the time was the "Makarios" newspaper, which was founded in 1948 and was closely associated with the Archbishop's political movement. The newspaper advocated for the independence of Cyprus and the removal of British colonial rule. It played a significant role in shaping public opinion in the country during the struggle for independence.

Another newspaper that supported the nationalist and anti-colonial movement was "Alithia", which was founded in 1952 and is still in circulation today. While not explicitly associated with Samson or Makarios, "Alithia" has long been known for supporting anti-colonial and nationalist causes in Cyprus and has often advocated for political positions that align with those of Samson and Makarios.

While there is no specific evidence that Nikolaou and Yioi were involved in the production of nationalist and anti-colonial publications during the mid-twentieth century, it is possible that they played some role in the dissemination of these materials.
