With Nigerian WebRadio, we merged the power of the Internet with cutting-edge technology and our extensive broadcasting experience to create a radio station that has now become the pride of Nigerians and the toast of Africans all over the world.

But why...?

We've been asked severally "why create a radio station broadcasting to the Nigerian Diaspora?" And the answer is simple! We live in the Diaspora too. And, we know how tough it is to be thousands of miles away from our root, our culture, our music and our overall way of live.
