PRESS RELEASE
After two years of absence the legendary Radio Biafra London (RBL) is back on air and will resume on SATURDAY 21 APRIL 2012 at 8pm broadcasting twice a week on 11870 kHz frequency on the shortwave band from its London Studio to all African countries with concentrated footprint in Nigeria. 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 program online by visiting http://www.radiobiafralondon.com and clicking on the daily broadcast play button.
RBL is a public service broadcaster and will serve as the eyes, ears and voice for millions of dispossessed, disenfranchised, abandoned and oppressed people of various ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. According to Nnamdi Kanu the Director of Radio Biafra London, the reason for the resuscitation of the popular radio station is 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 operating in the name of Islam. It will also serve 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.
Radio Biafra London will 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 would 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.
Radio Biafra London further wishes to give advance warning to all looters, embezzlers, kidnappers, sponsors of terrorism, child traffickers, corrupt judges, crooked university lecturers, murderous Nigerian security forces and all thieving individuals masquerading as public officials who steal public funds thereby preventing developmental projects from impacting positively on the lives of the ordinary people. These looters and workers of iniquity will be named and shamed. There will be no hiding place for common thieves who use the cover of high political offices to steal in the name of Nigerian politics. For Radio Biafra London, there will be nothing like no-go-areas in what can be reported, discussed and analysed. The governing principle of the Public-Right-To-Know of the issues affecting their lives will be rigorously upheld.

The Editorial Board of Radio Biafra London
I wish the station is coming back for real, because, the other time was a huge failure.
2 yrs of being off air is enough to have a well structured programme.
Radio Biafra should be a way to talk about Biafra and its actualization and not an avenue to destroy MASSOB and its leadership. MASSOB is non violent, which must remain so, if the already traumatized people of Biafra will support it.
This Radio Station did alot of damage to the Biafran Project. I humbly believe, it is back for good. It must not be a platform for settling personal vendetta or hauling insults on the leadership of MASSOB.
I’m not a member of MASSOB, but I support the actualization of Biafra through non violent means.
GOD BLESS BIAFRA.
This a very idia about this radio broadcast. The world and the africans should know and see what is going on in Ngeria.
To avoid the confusion and lack of trust brought about by your previous broadcast on this Radio, issues must be adequately verified before coming on air.
I suggest that you work with MASSOB on the ground and avoid name calling. Be very objective and don’t do anything that would cause instability in the region.
Most importantly, guide your utterances very well and respect the views of people at home(Nigeria), nomatter how stupid .
I still have my fears!!!
Long live Biafra!
Igbo leaders are blind people. Hausa and Yoruba people come down and assume Igbo names and use it to take Igbo quota in defense industry. And nobody is concerned. You cannot leave the security of your people in the hands of your enemy. Igbo people should teach issues concerning their security in their elementary and secondary schools, we have vested interest in our own security. Our leaders should be open in encouraging our people to join the forces before moving on to other ventures. White boys do that after high school. This is not some thing that should be hidden. We have vested interest in the security of Nigeria more than any tribe in Nigeria. Starting at the upper echelon did Igbo people in during the first republic and we have not make a tentative study of the pogrom and why Biafra failed. A culture that claim to be elite remains blinded by one Nigeria where its people continue to be killed at every corner. There should be no bones about figuring what happened and why we are so much hated in Nigeria. All the back door campaign against Igbo people should be studied. How to stem the tide. SW region continued call for more genocide against Igbo people and open campaign should be studied and not over looked. Their historic union with the north west Sultans that has been there for generations, again should be studied. Just before Madalla massacre, the Sultan and the whole SW governors had a meeting in Sokoto, a close door and the result was massacre and Occupy Nigeria Campaign. The so called Igbo leaders were looking the other way. Igbo chiefs could not make themselves important than selling out at every turn. People like Obi of Onitsha will be glad to be called to the Kingdom of the Emires and the Obas, forgetting that all these meeting are for the betterment of those regional interest. He should make self useful than sitting down on the thrown and calling others Nwa-Onyigbo. He could call his own meeting of the minority chiefs in the Eastern region and Middle Belt now that marriage in the north are falling apart. Politics and safety are posturing. The Igbos are lost in confused state.
A well articulate guide post for Igbo leaders. Governor Obi can push the Obi in the thrown to make these connections happen. Somebody was suggesting that a flag that read, “In the memory of the massacred Igbo people”, be mounted in each elementary and secondary school in the South Eastern region, to resurrect an awareness and an answer to BH. The famous Governor Obi is a blessing to Ndi-Igbo, make no mistake about it. A move that project that we are not victims.
TO BRING RADIO BIAFRA BACK ON AIR IS A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT.
