Pro-Biafra group sets up Hausa broadcast channel, starts airing Jan 6

Separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced the launch of its new radio channel that will broadcast in the Hausa language to "educate the poor masses of northern Nigeria".
In a statement released by the group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, on Thursday, January 4, 2018, he said the channel, named "Radio Nigeria Hausa service" will help IPOB to spark "a mass revolution against our oppressors".
Powerful revealed that the station will have daily broadcasts after it commences on Saturday, January 6, at 7pm.
The statement read, "The broadcast will have the widest coverage of any radio signal in Africa.
"It
will be received all over West, East and Southern Africa. Every Hausa
speaking community in Africa will be able to receive it.
"In
our opinion, we feel it has become imperative to educate the poor
masses of northern Nigeria. The ruling class cleverly enslaved and
impoverished ethnic populations of the north by keeping vital
information and knowledge away from them.
"This information deficit is what Radio Nigeria Hausa Service has come to remedy."
Powerful further said that the new development proves that IPOB's aim is to pursue an agenda of freedom that liberates all Nigerians, saying that the group remains resolute in confronting the evils in the country.
He continued, "Regardless of ethnicity, religion or creed, IPOB is pursuing an agenda of freedom for all.
"Our
message is very simple, 2018 will be like no other in the history of
Nigeria and will prove to be the year of liberation for those brave
enough to confront the evil that Nigeria has become in the lives of
millions of people.
"This move today is
the beginning of a mass revolution against our oppressors that will
spread outside the borders of Biafraland.
"Every
Hausa speaking northerner is advised to tune into 15110 KHz every night
at 7PM, starting from this Saturday 6 January 2018, to be educated in
order to be liberated."
