Nigeria's government has vowed to shut down an illegal radio station operated by people sympathetic to the breakaway state of Biafra.
The ministry of information said it has "successfully jammed the signals" of the station.
However, the BBC's Abdussalam Ahmed in Enugu says Radio Biafara is still broadcasting.
It is not clear where it is based but it mainly broadcasts to the Igbo-speaking south-east of the country.
The first republic of Biafra declared its independence from Nigeria in May 1967, but was eventually defeated after a three-year civil war that cost more than one million lives.
Our correspondent says the station hosts phone-in programmes with listeners calling to talk about issues affecting their region and their desire to break away from Nigeria.
It also attacks and ridicules President Muhammadu Buhari and other government officials.
Although the Biafra uprising was quelled by the military, a group called the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob) has attracted the support many young people in the region.
They feel they have been discriminated against by those in power in Abuja and demand independence.
Several of their leaders and sympathisers have been detained by authorities and accused of treason.

A limited number of studies have been performed on magazines published outside the United States. The approach of this paper is to describe some of these studies and their methodologies, to review articles found to be important in discussing international magazines, and to offer some suggestions of types of studies that could be performed and why. When the type of scholarship being published about international magazines is examined, several conclusions emerge First, there appears to be little linking of data to theory. Second, there seems to be little research on how to disseminate ideas. And third, there is a real void in many areas of magazine publishing; for example, looking at magazines as vehicles for sociological study, examining content categories, and investigating types of specialized magazines.
Magazines published throughout the world find their way onto our major city newsstand racks and bookstores, or they come through the mail for the subscription price. In ethnic communities, the presence of foreign periodicals is greater than in other communities. These magazines bring a new voice to our culture, a new way of looking at similar issues. So how do American scholars use these periodicals in their research? The purpose of this paper is to survey the literature as to the types of methodology used in magazine research, offer some insights as to relative theory or methodologies magazine research can use, and suggest a direction for future magazine research.
The significance of evaluating what has been written on magazines is that it identifies gaps which scholars can begin to fill to provide a better understanding of our global patterns of communication. The scholarly journals have already recognized this pattern of globalization in the case of print news media. It is my view that the scholarship on magazines needs to develop an awareness of corresponding patterns of globalization.
As literacy increases, as radio and TV broadcasts dominate the immediacy of the news, magazines are being forced to adapt their pages to provide in-depth coverage of news events. Magazines confirm and expand what people have heard in other media. Whereas the circulations of daily presses have remained about the same for 10 years, circulations of magazines and startups of magazines have increased. This is not to say there are no problems. Throughout the world, the cost or even availability of newsprint is an important obstacle to magazine
production. These difficulties are further compounded by the loss of advertising revenue to radio and TV, the reluctance of the public to pay what a newspaper costs, high illiteracy, lack of printing presses, inaccessible rural areas, and a variety of languages besides the official language. All of these factors contribute negatively to the growth of magazines. However, magazines are highly significant in terms of the reproduction of what has been called consumer culture. They provide a unique combination of pictorial and popular literary expression that is not found in either newspapers or broadcast.

A periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, often on a particular subject or aimed at a particular readership.
However, printing press of magazine was one of the three things that changed the whole world till today,
It was in the year 1440, when Johannes Guenberg invented press. Which created a knowledge for mass produced for the first time in history. Within a century. The printing press was being used to print pamphl ets,almanacs and news letter inclusive, in addition to Bibbles and religious materials.
In the year 1672. The first magazine was published and called (Me cure de france) created by french writer and play wright.
This further enlightened the English man named Edward Cave who published the gentle man's magazine. Which was first invented in from Arabic word ''Makhazin''( store house). His goal was to create magazine that magazine that the whole of general public would be interested in.
In addition, his publication contains everything form essays and poems and political stories.
In 1842, the British News agent created the illustrated News magazine full of wood cut designs.
In 1693, London further published weekly magazine called ''Ladies Mercury'' this magazine was to concern everything about Women and love inclusive. It also makes and gives ways to all other countries and nations likewise who have interest in magazine publication.
This really help in the history of Nigeria which was used as a tools of disseminating informations to the general public as a whole.
History and existence of magazines stared in Nigeria right from the time of the colonist in Africa (Nigeria).
This was due to the fact that, the colonist brought this of their tools to Nigeria to established Printing press to Nigeria.
As a matter of fact. The Missionaries introduce the formal popular known to be Iwe Irohin in to being as a means of to disseminate informations to the masses. Which was first published in 1859.
Then after,Magazine came in to being such as News watch.
News watch was Nigeria magazine published by Nigeria Journalists. Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese and Yakubub Mohammed. NEWS WATCH magazine publication was on 28th Jan,1985.
The most important part for the existence of magazine in Nigeria was the need of information to be well disseminated to the masses of the people at the grass root to have more of knowledge of their government.
However, it wasn't an easy thing for magazines owners in Nigeria most especially during the Military regime in Nigeria.
Then after. Lots of other magazine came to live such as TELL MAGAZINE, CONCORD MAGAZINE etc.

THE Earliest example of magazine was ARBAULICHE Monaths Unterredungen which was launched in 1663 in germany. It was a literary and philosophy magazine. The gentleman's
magazine first published in 1731 in London, is considered to have been the first general-interest magazine.
Edward Cave, who edited the gentleman's magazine under the pen name "SYLUANUS URBAN" was the first to use the term "magazine" on the analogy of a military store house
of varied material, ultimately derived from the Arabic.
The first publication in Nigeria to be referred to as a magazine was a government periodical, titled, ”The Nigerian gassette”, which was established in 1900.Being a government medium, it was devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial government through her public relations department introduced regular press briefing and issued news release frequently. It also published magazines such as the “Nigerian Review” and the “children own paper” (Daramola: 2008).
In the 1960’s Daily Times marketed Drum and Spear magazine in Nigeria. But, by 1970s some Nigerians were already making in road into magazine publishing. One of them was Mr. Chris Okolie, who published NewBreed magazine. However, Nigerians could not be said to have develop a “magazine reading culture as at 1970s.
It was in the mid-1980s, when Newswatch was established by Messrs Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese, that magazine started developing large readership in Nigeria. And this is because, the founders of Newswatch already had large readership, when they were columnist and editors in newspapers (Daily Times, national Concord, Sunday Concord and New Nigerian). The readership which they have earned overtime as newspapers editors, took interest in their magazine and this provided large audience for the magazine, and thus the “Magazine cultures”, become a part of the print media development in Nigeria.
Since the establishment of Newswatch, other magazines had emerged in the Nigerian publishing scene. Tell and The Newswatch Magazines are examples. They are general interest magazines like Newswatch.
However, some specialized magazines, concentrating on different areas of interest are also being published in Nigeria. Examples are broad street Journal (a financial publication), Encomium and city people (soft sells), and Hints (woman magazine). But the good news is that the magazine culture is firmly rooted in Nigeria’s print media (Akinsuli: 2010).
Magazines are not daily publication; they are published weekly, monthly, bi monthly, or quarterly. Magazines are attractive and appealing because of their high production quality. They come in colourful and glossy paperbacks. Magazines are the gloss and the glitter of the print media. The frequency of magazine is determined by the organizational policy and the target audiences.
A magazine style of writing is called “articles” or features. They are interesting, anecdotal and helpful articles which are investigative, interpretative, analytical and correlatives. That is, it is a print medium that does more of news analysis than mere news reporting. News reporting is important to a magazine but focuses on the interpretation and coverage of past events with wider perspective. It is an ideal medium of instruction and information for the leisurely and critical readers.

THE WORLD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON NIGERIA.
ANSWER:
The first publication which could be called a magazine
was the German Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen,
released in the year 1663. It was a literary and
philosophical edition and after it was launched, several
periodicals with very similar topics were published, and
were intended for an intellectual audience
The Gentleman’s magazine, first published in 1731, in
London, is considered to have been the first general-
interest magazine. Edward Cave, who edited the
Gentlemen’s magazine under the pen name “Sylvanus
Urban” was the first to use the term “magazine” on the
analogy of a military storehouse varied material,
ultimately derived from the Arabic
“Makhazin” (storehouse) by the way French language.
The name magazine which comes from the Arabic word
which means the warehouse, and was used for
describing the place which deposits large quantities of
various goods, while the analogy used to describe The success of the magazine was great,
and the number of printed copies could be greater than
one hundred thousand, because it was technically
impossible to squeeze a larger amount of paper through
the machine. Distribution was also a big problem
because it was difficult to move large quantities of
magazines at great distance.
In 1984, Nigerian journalists Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Dan
Agbese and Yakubu Mohammed formed the Newswatch
Magazine, and its first edition was distributed on 28th
January, 1985. A 1989 description of the magazine said it
“changed the format of print journalism in Nigeria and
introduced bold, investigative formats to news reporting
in Nigeria”. However, in the first few months of the
administration of General Ibrahim Babangida who took
power in August 1985, the magazine was shamelessly
flattering. It printed his face on the cover four times and
even criticized “anyone who attempted to make life
unpleasant for Babaginda”.
In 1996, the magazine was said to have a circulation.
On 15th April, 1991, tell magazine published is first
edition. All five of the founding editors have worked at
Newswatch, where they learned to create in- depth,
investigative feature stories.
they were not initially hostile to the government.
However, they were determined to be free of
government or political influence.
In the mid 19th century readers were not only the rich
ones magazine become available to the middle class.
Dickens household words. In 1741- Andrews Bradford
printed American magazine and Benjamin Franklin

1936 – Henry Luce founded life and coined the world

1960 – Oversize general magazine including life folded as
advertisers moved to network
1964- Hugh Hefner introduced modern question and
answers playboy
All over the world, magazines are used as key tools to
sell ideas, concepts and belief. The Nigerian market for
magazine was no exception. The first publication in
Nigeria to be referred to as magazine was a government
periodicals titled “the Nigerian gas” which was
established in 1900. Being a government medium it was
devoted to analyzing and interpreting the policies and
activities of the colonial regime. After the adoption of the
Richard constitution in 1947, the British colonial
government through her public relation department
introduced regular published magazine such as the
Nigerian review and the children own paper.
In 1960’s Daily times marketed drum and Spear
magazine in Nigeria but 1970’s some Nigerians were
already making in road into magazine publishing one of
them was Mr. Chris Okolie who published new breed
