Nnamdi Kanu Allegedly Disappeared With IPOB's £14M, $22M



The international media arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Radio Biafra, has resumed operations.

But instead of the fiery rhetoric with which it was associated with, the radio announced the sack of Nnamdi Kanu, as director and leader of IPOB.


According to Okorafor, one “Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili is Kanu’s replacement.”

She reeled out reasons why Kanu was removed to include: “Personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement.

“Kanu’s actions and his decisions to incite members of IPOB towards violence leading to the death of many innocent young people in Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia is totally unacceptable and grossly irresponsible.

“Kanu privately collected £14 million and another $22 million to purchase landed properties abroad in his name and that of his father, Igwe Israel Kanu, in a clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’.

“Kanu turned our collective struggle into a money-making enterprise for himself and his father. Thus the monies contributed by enterprising and hard-working Igbo youths across the world are being collected and converted by one man and his father while pretending to be sacrificing for the cause.

Radio Continental Relaunches as MAX 102.3Fm Lagos


...To focus strictly on entertainment


One of the leading radio stations in Lagos, Radio Continental 102.3fm has relaunched as MAX 102.3 fm on the same frequency. The relaunch was done at a glitzy ceremony held recently at the Federal Palace Hotel, Balmoral Convention Centre Victoria Island.

AgegePulse learnt that the relaunch was part of Continental Broadcasting Service's, CBS plan to refocus the company as a core entertainment station.

You recall that about 400 staff were recently sacked by Television Continental, TVC, a sister brand of the CBS. The development was to relief most of his core news and other fringe staff in order to diversify into majorly entertainment.

Also, there had been speculation that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had withdrawn the licence of Radio Continental including comments by former Minister of Aviation and PDP member Femi Fani-Kayode suggesting that the Buhari-government is getting back at Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is believed to own the radio station as part of TVC Communications group which also includes the TVC, TVC News and Adaba fm Akure but yesterday's relaunching event would prove such negative speculation as unfounded.

Now MAX 102.3, the station will now focus more on Music and has added former Brila fm OAP Murphy Ijemba to its stable which includes the likes of Wale PowPowPow, Honeypot,  Lady ‘O’ Mary, Debbie and Mark ‘DSoulja.

You can listen to and interact with the station via its website Max1023.fm
