Radio Biafra: UK Govt Replies Nigerian Govt
The United Kingdom has denied that the Federal Government made a request for it to shut down Radio Biafra.
The radio station is being run in the United Kingdom by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
ORIENTAL TIMES recalls that Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed had said the Federal Government approached the British government to shut down the station but it didn’t.
“Who does not know that the IPOB internal radio is located in London? We know the diplomatic moves we have been taking and approaching the UK, all the damages it (Radio Biafra) has done, but they don’t see it that way, for them (the British government), it is about freedom of expression,” he had said.
In response to the above statement by Alhaji Lai, spokesman of the British High Commission, Joe Abuku said the UK would have considered the request carefully, if it had received such a request.
He also added that the UK is not aware of any representation from the Nigerian government.
“The UK is not aware of any representation from the Nigerian government about Radio Biafra,” he said in a statement.
“Were we to receive any such request, we would, of course, consider it carefully on the basis of the available evidence, recognising that freedom of speech and expression carries responsibilities.”
France had earlier denied allegations that the sponsoring of IPOB comes from that country.

That’s propagandist government in action. They mistook a lie to truth, without knowing that deception lies and crowd buying for cheap polotical purposes doesn’t change the reality on ground, rather it differs the doomsday.

This quote will shock you. I came in contact with it and I could not help but look again. After reading this quote I began to ask myself “why do some people, especially our politicians deceive themselves that Nigeria is one when the people who were there shortly after amalgamation do not share the same opinion?”
Okay! May be some section of the country is using “one Nigeria” syndrome to r*pe another of their resources. There is something these politicians are not telling us. May be we need a re-orientation.
“Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French,’ The word ‘Nigeria’ is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not” – Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 1947.
“Since 1914 the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite … Nigerian unity is only a British invention” – Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, 1948.
“It is better for us and many admirers abroad that we should disintegrate in peace and not in pieces. Should the politicians fail to heed the warning, then I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of Congo will be a child’s play if it ever comes to our turn to play such a tragic role” – Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, 1964.-

Hahaha! I almost laughed myself to tears when I saw the seriousness France and UK apply in debunking Lai’s auto – piloted verbiage. Who doesn’t know Lai and his spins? Please somebody help me educate them that that guy is a licenced SPIN DOCTOR.
