        The so-called BBC Igbo is not meant to serve the interests of Ndi-Igbo. It was created to do what the BBC does best ie, spreading fake news and lies. So long as we are here, their lies will never see the lights of the day! It’s a Promise

        #Biafra: Since when did the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) start reporting news in in the Ibo (Igbo) language? Could this be the work of #TyrantBuhari? Remember the BBC refused to report Nigeria's war of genocide on Biafra (1967-1970). #FreeBiafra

        Una try but I hope the igbo station will be situated in Enugu, so that tha Wawa man will have easy access to explain how cows invade his rice farm or even in Owerri, so that Nwanyi Owerri can tell you the cost of Ugu in the market. Lagos is too far for Igbo coverage biko.

        The slavery master so called British will surely fail for their evil project called Igbo BBC, shame that some of igbo’s lack the spirit power to see never for-see before
