RADIO BIAFRA NOW FORMING AFRICA LARGEST NETWORK
The website of of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) reported that they have launched a satellite television called Biafra television and a shortwave that will cover most of Africa and even beyond Africa. The frequency of the broadcast is 15560 kHz in the 19 meter band and hours of broadcast for the time being, 7.00 – 9.00 am and 7.00 – 9.00 pm Nigerian time. They also broadcast on FM and internet. This ongoing broadcast has now put a question mark on the claim by Shade Yemi-Esan permanent secretary of National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) claim that they have jammed the pirate station and effectively blocked them from broadcasting while briefing journalists last month. The permanent secretary also said that the commission is working with security agencies to get those that are behind the radio station because it is illegal and has no license to operate.

Nnamdi Kanu, who calls himself the Director of (IPOB) described the shortwave radio as ,"Nuclear War Head".
With the improved coverage of the pirate station (It now broadcasts in Lagos and its environs) one wonders the readiness of NBC to face the changing terrain of broadcasting at this age and time. Its been a bumbling galore by the commission from their inability to regulate the GSM operators, unhealthy practices by cable operators which they cant regulate curb or sanction and now the inability to stop pirate station from operating.
Naija we hail thee joo!
