Abstract

Evidence in the literature regarding the impact of radio in fuelling crises is conflicting. This study extends existing argument by testing the moderating effect of accountability partners in the relationship between Radio Biafra and participation in the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Results from a sample of 470 participants showed that accountability partners contribute 35% in predicting participation in IPOB activities while Radio Biafra contributes 32%. Additional results showed that online accountability partners contribute more (23%) than offline (12%). Additional finding implies that licenced media like radio, TV and newspaper could be unintentionally promoting IPOB activities in South-East Nigeria.
