THE Indigenous People of
Biafra IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday 1st August 2018 launched
another powerful radio transmission network to the airspace.
According to Mazi George
Onyibe the IPOB Africa representative and the interim IPOB coordinator
Biafra land, while unveiling the Radio transmission network on its first
broadcast from Biafra land on Wednesday 1st August 2018 said that, the Radio is
designed for Biafrans in Biafra land to air their views and make known to the
world their ordeal and predicaments in the contraption called Nigeria since
1914, when Hausa, Yoruba and Biafra was amalgamated by Frederick Lugard of
Britain for their selfish interest.
He further stated that the
radio station will broadcast for three hours on daily basis from the hour of
5am to 7am Biafra time.
According to him, he said that
the radio network is designed for Biafrans to ensure active participation in
the struggle for Biafra restoration, especially as IPOB anticipate a referendum
conduction in no distant time for Biafrans to choose either to exit Nigeria or
not. On that note he said, “Audience and listeners who wish to participate in
the program during live transmission can call in via the mobile phone number:
+2347015491458 or call in using the radio Skype ID: Radiobiafraextra". He
added that soon the WhatsApp contact will be made available to the public.
Mazi George Onyibe, further
said that the official name for the radio station is RADIO BIAFRA EXTRA with
the slogan THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE and the frequency remains 102.1 FM, for
those who listens through FM relay stations across Biafra land and beyond and
the mobile application for Biafra Radio remain intact to listen to Radio Biafra
Extra transmission. He expressed his high level of joy following the
active participation and responses from Biafrans all over the world, especially
those in Biafra land during the first transition of the radio. According to him
"I am very much optimistic that the radio transmission will go far
because, that's exactly what Biafrans called for and they have it".
He called on Biafrans to give
their total support to ensure smooth and successful running of the radio
transmission despite all odds.
Reacting over the development,
many Biafrans expressed their feelings of joy via social media platforms and as
they phone in during the transmission on Wednesday 1st August 2018. Some were
of the opinion that the time slates for the transmission is too early as some
Biafrans who are the targeted audience may not wake up to listen to radio
broadcast then but, Mazi Emeka Mbamaram and other concerned hardcore IPOB
and principal officers in Biafra land urged Biafrans to accept it in good fate,
because it was programmed as such due to the consideration of world time zones,
with the aim to serve the purpose of its establishment.
Mazi George Onyibe added that
it will not by any way interweave with the Radio Biafra London transmission
anchored by Mazi Uche Mefor, the IPOB leader worldwide.
