Radio Biafra is Biafran radio station that was used to make announcement and broadcast during the Nigeria Civil war between 1967-1970. After the war, the radio station was stopped from broadcasting by the Nigerian government. But in 2009, the radio station was backed on air in a more defined manner. Since then it has been agitating for the freedom of Republic of Biafra, after getting licensed from UK. The radio station was again off air , after running out of fund in 2010. Again in 2013, it was back on air, this time attacking the Nigeria government and calling it a zoo country and addressing its listener as Indigenous People Of Biafra. Recently, due to the work of radio Biafra in uniting the south-south and south-east, the Nigeria government labelled it a pirate radio station and had tried many times to jamme it signal but could not jamme it.
