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.
my brothers we are gaining ground long live state of biafra.......
