It was a little bit hilarious but encouraging when listener started to say Amen this morning while listening to the sport presentation in Yorùbá Language.
Two religious leaders, A Christian cleric and an Islamic cleric were invited to pray for sporting in Nigeria and the officials for God's protection and guidance.
It would be recall that, Bond FM Station hit the airwaves in 1987 as RADIO 3, in Broadcasting House, Ikoyi. It has since transformed to Bond FM reflecting the unity of Nigeria and promoting use of indigenous languages.
