It's time to support an Igbo TV channel.

Ever wondered why we don't have a contemporary,  privately-owned Igbo TV channel on Nigeria's digital pay TV platforms?

For years DSTV has operated Africa Magic-Hausa and Africa Magic-Yoruba. New comers like CONSAT are already promoting TVC Hausa and TVC Yoruba. STARTIMES currently has about THREE(3) Hausa channels and THREE (3) Yoruba Channels; the only channel being paraded as an Igbo channel (on Startimes) is the very archaic and government-owned NTA Igbo. 

In January 2013, Firewood Media Limited carried out a survey to find out why there were no contemporary Igbo satellite TV channels in Nigeria. The overriding response received was that there were NO IGBO CONTENT; secondly,that Igbo investors are only interested in buying and selling,not in Igbo TV channels. Can this be true?

In view of this Firewood Media Limited decided to create a modern privately-owned Igbo TV channel called IKENGA TV.

Firewood Media has gone a step further to create over fifteen (15) unique Igbo content for IKENGA TV. 

Surely, it is very awkward that the third largest and most traveled ethnic group in Nigeria does not have a digital TV platform where Igbo language and culture is promoted. Over 35 million Ndigbo don't have a strong presence on Nigeria's/Africa's digital television space? Unbelievable!

IKENGA TV will bridge this gap.

Support Firewood media's effort in bringing IKENGA TV to life.

According to Firewood Media, funds raised will be used as production capital/logistics needed for post-production and marketing of unique Igbo TV shows on IKENGA TV.

You can also donate to IKENGA TV's cause via GTBank:Firewood Media-0006541962.

The target is to ensure that IKENGA TV commences test transmission by second quarter of 2015 on a reliable digital Pay TV platform.
