Awesome!
Is this the same as the Oduduwa radio set to take off in UK?

Is there a BBC Africa app?

WIZGUY69:

I don't think its the same.
Odua radio will be kinda private, while BBC own is public.

It is really not a great news because it will end up being a tool for mind conditioning and further programming of the minds of the blacks, in a form of pseudo-colonialisation.


The pros are that it will keep propagating the language, promoting our rich culture and heritage our forefathers handed down to us. It will alos give us an international pedestal to tell our story in our own way.

We've had some charge & bail lawyers running riot all over the media since yesterday...

A good majority of them insists this costitutional crisis is not synonymous to Boni Haruna & Amaechi scenario because there was no result. so there is nothing to build upon, that the inconclusive nature of the exercise before /after( jury still out on that) Audu's demise invalidates the process so a fresh election should be called...

From what i gleaned, the 49k votes in question is even an anomaly cos the total nos of PVCs collected is 25k which means declaring the result inconclusive in the first place is even a misnomer...

One conspiracy theorists opined that the REC got wind that Audu had bitten the dust & was "influenced" to declare it so in order to invalidate the process...

I believe doctrine of necessity should be invoked here & James Faleke should assume the post & the Igala can then send him packing in '19...

How has radio Hausa brainwashed the Hausas?

Musiwa419:
how has bbc hausa service, using your own word, 'further programmed the mind' of the hausa folks up north 'in a form of neo colonisation' ?

Egbon mi can you please elucidate more on the emboldened?

Ko ye mi dada

I fully agree with the second part

Warfare are waged on 2 fronts -- 1. Military (on the field) 2. Media

The Media warfare is subtle, effective and more long lasting. That is why they always depict Africa with the worst pix of humanity.

The BBC is the propaganda tool of the British Government, with a sole responsibility of brain washing the world from the perspective of the British Govt. BBC Yoruba will not be left out.

Aareonakakanfo:


Hmmmn Oro! but at the same time,it will still boil down to who and who is in charge of the information being dished out on the Channel

I believe educated Odua sons are the ones who're going to be the ones running things there

I don't know the kind of information being disseminated on BBC hausa so I can't say If this one will end up that way as well

But going by what's on ground,BBC Hausa hasn't had any effect on the mind of the average hausa person who listens to it

superstar1:


Do you woonder why they are always carrying transistor radio about? They all know the frequency of BBC Hausa and it is their first station of choice.

Aareonakakanfo:


But those are the ones who live in Lagos.I don't think its that way up North.They probably listen to their own stations

Its the most easily available station they can connect with in Lagos

You can't even listen to a station based in Kanu when you're in Lagos

I don't know why. probably superior technology

And most of the programs on the channel are more of entertainment programs anyways

superstar1:
Yeah he is yoruba. Ifa-leke.

The tribe is relevant because Igbiras see Kogi State as their home state and they have the population to perpetrate themselves in power, except by divine intervention. You can't fault them.

The Sarakis hold on Kwara State is a story for another day.

laudate:


Nah....I actually think it is the Igalas that have the numerical advantage in Kogi State, and a number of them feel that since their ethnic group is in the majority, they should always call the shots.

Shymm3x:


Once you know that the Oniru is Ijebu, that'll tell you how far the Ijebu coastline extended pre-Nigeria. Even Lekki was given to Portuguese (or was it Dutch? - I need to check my archives for which of the two) traders in the 17th or 18th century or so by the Awujale for trade cos the Ijebus had Epe and Ikorodu.

There's a book on google scholar on it. I can't remember the name now but I've posted screenshots from the book before during numerous discussions in the culture section back in the day, under my old handle.

superstar1:


Whattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!! Have you been to the north. Even the almajiris, the mai tea guys, and almost every dick and harry know the frequency of BBC Hausa.

They hardly listen to their stations. Ask anybody that lives or that has been to the north.

Aareonakakanfo:



Hahaha! I haven't stayed long enough in the north so I can't say much

But do you have any idea of the kind of information being dished out on the station?

We need to start from there first If truly that's the station they mostly listen to

There must be a reason why they're glued to it

And also don't you think Illiteracy is also a factor?

Shymm3x:


I get what you mean and every MSM (mainstream media) is a tool for propaganda either directly or indirectly.

However, in this case, you have to check the objective vis-a-vis the end goal and target audience, for expanding the BBC brand. In as much as much as it will still be a tool for propaganda - I think why they picked Yoruba and pidgin is basically cos the two languages are the most widely spoken languages in Nigeria and its environs.

I don't think they are maliciously targeting Yorubas for propaganda. It is just bigger market for the BBC brand and it will also facilitate more recognition for the Yoruba language and enable Yoruba speakers get the news in real time. Regardless, it is nothing to celebrate.
