It is! Are you accessing Nairaland with your radio?

leke12:
Our senator has gone mad again

dason4life:
Honestly, that is a good move considering the fact that the Transistor
Radio is almost a part of their culture.
Jesters should realise that an Average Northern is more enlightened than
a Msc graduate in the other region in Nigeria . . .courtesy of the RADIO.

Food For Thought
Why do you think BBC do broadcast in Hausa Language?

Information is Potential Power

momodub:
ok we don hear hausa love radio him for add laptop join na

Abagworo:
This radio has played very important role in Northern politics for decades. In the East it has been nicknamed "Hausa Radio" .

omotaio:
iranu what development has this cause

The radio is not obsolete and never will be. The problem with Sani's gesture is that it amounts to tokenism. His job is to make good laws and ensure that the Senate doesn't loot Nigeria so there will be enough money for government to implement projects that will benefit the people. Collecting jumbo pay and giving some pittance to the poor belongs in the feudal era. Shame on Sani and others like him.

They use it to spread news very quickly, whether it's about how Alhaji xyz is sharing food items or about killing all Christians they see cos they are infidels is a matter for another day...

What is Nairaland? I get my news from radio. If you want to do current affairs or deep analysis of world events, don't even try me. Those "abokis" are far more informed than an average southerner. The fact you fail to see how efficient (in terms of time and money) the use of a radio is doesn't mean it's not so.

Abagworo:
Nnamdi Kanu misused radio Biafra else it would have served as an enlightenment radio for Igbos broadcast in Igbo language and encouraging cultural and political awareness across Igboland.

Tvegas:
I recall Prophetess Patience Jonathan screaming" My fellow wimens, PDP is digitaaaal, dont let APC take us back to Analog". This senator is obviously stuck on analog ideas.

247notire:
What do you mean by the word enlightened? Stop throwing words around Mr. They are only more aware of what's happening in their locales and states and in this jet age, ppl who have phones also have radios plus Internet. Stop making such bogus ignorant claims!

In an age where 6 year olds are accessing information via internet, a senator is repressing his people with an obsolete radio.

It is a true saying that the internet offers more than the traditional radio.
The question is this, how often is the internet being used to get information?
I made an example of BBC being translated in Hausa language but never in other
languages as we have in Nigeria.

Research shows that an average internet user access more fun sites to news site.
I still maintained that an Average Hausa Man is more ENLIGHTENED than a Msc
graduate. Take it or leave it! it's the truth

Well, you are at the mercy of the radio station then. In this world of propaganda and self serving news agenda, it is dangerous to be narrow minded as to rely on radio as your major news source. The news reported by BBC, CNN etc may not reflect reality.
