That's the radio we listened to during June 12 debacle!
Radio Kudirat was the guerilla radio we listen to. Not VOA. There were tapes of political speeches made by our NADECO/CLO/CDHR etc and ewi too that we listened to.

Smh. You're ignorant if you think only your South East people listen to VoA ( I know that you are not Hausa, the Hausa are not brash cyberbullies and they listen to BBC Hausa). That you don't even know that Hausa do BBC Hausa alone gave you away as ignorant Impostor.

Your politics of lies, hate and tribal/ religious bigotry failed in 2023, it will still fail in 2027. We patriotic Nigerians will reject your mediocre candidate and tribesman
Sir, i know my root and i know where i come from, 2027 isn't too far. After then u will know how important those hausa's u looked down upon are, For now enjoy.✌

I just told you your root is in the South-East.

You don't have the votes and you will never see eye to eye with the Northerners in politics.

Nigerians will still reject your Mr Obi in 2027 even if you rig all your South-East votes for him again like you did in 2023

Everything that will be reversed by next US administration grin
They are experts at policy inconsistencies. Promise to do the exact opposite of verything he did will be the campaign promises of the democrats and they will defeat his party.
Most American voter are funny. They voted him for what he is doing now yet they have started complaining and blocking him with courts
that's what sport politics of identity does.

Instead of voters to look at track records of a candidate and his policies logically to see if will fix their current problem, they just want to vote against their perceived enemies at all cost even when they know his track record and policies are shit.

The fall of American economy will be very funny if they allow trump(a man who bankrupted 6 companies) and a bloody casino to continue his madness for the next 2years.

So all these decades, no station in Africa could position itself to fill the void, or they thought VOA would broadcast forever?
Re: VOA Goes Off Air In Rural Nigeria, Ghana, Others by saintneo(m): 3:49pm On Apr 04, 2025
Those days(1998-2005) that I listen toVoA news in English and Sonny side of sport on 1530 MW. Sonny sent me a memoriabilia twice.

Goodbye VoA!

Voice of America VOA is Boko Haram radio station. We all know.

Who still listens to VOA? Smh
Still do every now and then..when I was a student, it was kind of a regular habit .

You have to listen to several news platforms to get a balanced view of the news ( which is why I am still annoyed with YouTube for removing Russia today)

More like counter to Boko.

Boko won't want anyone listening to VOA. Their idea of a radio station is probably one that plays the Quran on repeat from morning to night, with rants by some preacher every now and then .

You got the money?

BBC that everyone copies, is funded by licence fees. Everyone that has a tv and radio pays . Everyone..if you no pay and the police catch you na wahala.

The kind of budget that would be needed to run a global news service by frcn is probably more than our national budget in a year. It is easy to station George okoli in Moscow, but you got to pay a salary that would enable him live nicely there. Ditto mike ademola in London.

lol. So u expect trump to keep funding a radio station with millions if not billions of naira from faraway America
Well all the big countries do it.

Internet has even made it easier.

You mean by JD Vance ... Delulu.. if you think Democrats will reclaim the white house after Trump, dey play with their 21% ratings. They're divided, visionless and leaderless.

Smh.

Ignorance is not bliss o. Many of you don't know what you write about yet arrogantly make false claims and assertions.

Here's the most recent even though it's a thankless job to educate you for free.

Since you don't know, some of those groups, including the Arab and Muslim communities, voted for Trump to give him the landslide victory over Kamala Harris last year. Even Arizona state was won by Trump
