Radio Biafra London (RBL), which went off
air two years ago, will on Saturday resume
broadcasting.
A member of the Editorial Board of the
station, Dr. Luke Chukwuma Egemba, who
confirmed this to Daily Sun over the
telephone, disclosed that the ugly situations
back home informed the decision to
resuscitate the station, which would
broadcast twice a week on 11870 kHz
Frequency on the shortwave band from its
London studio to all African countries with
concentrated footprint in Nigeria.
Egemba said the radio station went off air
due to some logistic problems, which the
promoters had now put behind them.
According to him, “listeners in the greater
London area can tune into 94.3FM at the
same time whilst those outside London and
elsewhere in the world can follow the
programme online by visiting
www.radiobiafralondon.com and clicking
on the daily broadcast play button.”
He said RBL was a public service broadcast
station that would serve as the eyes, ears
and voice for millions of dispossessed,
disenfranchised, abandoned and oppressed
people of various ethnic nationalities in
Nigeria.
Also, the Director of Radio Biafra London, Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu in a statement said the reason
for the resuscitation of the radio station
was to “set a largely misinformed public free
from the twin evil of tyrannical rule of a
cabal of ill-educated and institutionally
corrupt men and women and the sponsored
sectarian killings directed against Christian
southerners living in northern Nigeria by
terrorists.”
Kanu promised that the Radio Biafra would
also try to “articulate a solution to the plight
of impoverished and confused Igbo families
abandoned by their leaders in northern
Nigeria to a fate worse than those endured
by black slaves in plantations in the
Americas.”
He said the radio would use and deploy
every available resource to campaign for the
rights of all oppressed indigenous peoples
of southern Nigeria to determine how they
wish to structure their societies and live
their lives.
“Radio Biafra London will broadcast debates
on issues of national and international
importance affecting the lives and rights of
the indigenous peoples of Biafra and indeed
indigenous people of all ethnic persuasions
in Nigeria,” he said.
