Over the South Pole and up and around? The Hausa are an ethnic group located mostly in Nigeria, so the antenna would've been aimed there. Do you know where the broadcast originated from?

That makes a lot more sense, but that's still a long haul to be booming in that loud? I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the Earth's core has started to reverse it's spin? We always think of the atmosphere when it comes to radio propagation, but that giant electromagnet down below has to play a role, too.

If You Know Who was still posting, he would have an answer.

Amazonas blasts when nothing on that band is getting out. Obviously powered by electric eels.
