Nigeria Fails To Block Radio Biafra-[NY Times & Fox News Reports] by skultrick(m): 7:11am On Jul 17, 2015 |
[NyTimes & Fox News]Nigeria's government says it has banned Radio Biafra because it is unlicensed but the station dedicated to creating a breakaway state remained on the airwaves Thursday. People in southeastern Nigeria confirmed the station is broadcasting in the area that is home to the Igbo people.The Igbos fought a civil war to form an independent nation called Biafra in the late 1960s that killed about one million people, mostly Igbos from conflict-induced famine. Unresolved causes of the war and results including the appropriation of property that has not been returned remain a sore point and groups including Radio Biafra continue to claim the tribe is discriminated against and to agitate for independence. Many Igbos who fled into exile have not returned home. Eleven pro-Biafra activists were arrested last year on charges of treason. Earlier this year, the Biafra Zionists Federation called for Ibgos to boycott presidential elections because the High Court refused to give them bail after months in jail awaiting trial. On Wednesday, Radio Biafra broadcast an alleged interview with the BBC Hausa service in which it claimed a voice said to be that of newly installed President Muhammadu Buhari made derogatory comments about the Igbo. Buhari's office denied that, and the BBC also denied having such an interview. The Ministry of Information announced Tuesday that it had "successfully jammed the signals" of Radio Biafra. But the station remained on the air with call-in shows where listeners discuss issues confronting their region and their desire to break away from Nigeria.

Radio Biafra is live and direct, as I am trying this message now. I am writing from Igweocha (portharcourt). If you want to listen to Radio Biafra, if you have a BlackBerry or android phone just go to your BlackBerry or android app store and Search For Radio Biafra and download it. Simple you will listen it live and Direct. 13 Likes |

Hahahahahahaha, Nnamdi Kanu has really become a torn in the flesh of this present regime. Kudos to you my chairman, they can't continue to suppress us and still want us to remain in the Zoo republic. Men, I see CNN or BBC giving this man an interview. More publicity to Radio Biafra means more pressure to Nigeria. |

fineguy11:you're not very smart. He only stated an option for those in States the station can't reach, that does not mean it's jammed in places like PH or Aba where there are dedicated stations. Radio stations are downloaded on phones too. Don't embarass yourself |
