The station has only one anchor who is referred to as Director, and he refers to the listeners as the Indigenous People of Biafra. Some unverified claims the director’s  name is Nnamdi.

Many observers have likened the the activities of the “Director” as that of the radio anchor that escalated the Rwandan genocide war.

He is also known to always castigate the Northern and Western region in Nigeria for what he describes as them “living fat on the resources of the Biafran people.”

Been listening to Radio Biafra for some days now and I must say as a Broadcaster I’m shocked beyond words at what’s been perpetrated. — Robinson Akpu (@robinsonakpu) June 25, 2015

I find it annoying that the Federal Govt can’t close down this Radio Biafra and arrest Nnamdi Kanu(director) before we have another BH.

The problem with Radio Biafra is not the rants of a seeming lone wolf. It is the possibility that he has backers in Abuja. — Èkó òní bàjé ooo (@Ekoonibajeooo) June 25, 2015

The day I listened to Radio Biafra I didn’t take them seriously but the power of media should never be underestimated. #HateSpeechIsEvil

Radio Biafra – There is no difference between what they are doing and the Hutu Power Radio in Rwanda leading up to the genocide. — Elnathan John (@elnathan) June 24, 2015

I seriously doubt “Radio Biafra” will lead to secession, it will merely hasten “de-nationalization”. We live together, but not as one.

That Radio Biafra director should be tried for war crimes and inciting hate against another ethnic group — Adavize Alao Esq (@Adavizealao) June 24, 2015

How many Igbo leaders and intellectuals are speaking decisively against this Radio Biafra dude to counter his narrative now?

This radio Biafra thing should be checked now before it’s too late. It’s inciting hate. I listened this morning — China Acheru (@Ikwerreman) June 24, 2015

Meanwhile, a group representing the interest of Igbos agitating for the realisation of Biafra, has received an invitation from global body, the United Nations (UN) to attend its next meeting in New York this month.
