Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu has appreciated the Finnish government for arresting the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Tinubu while receiving Sanna Selin, Finland’s ambassador to Nigeria at the Presidential Villa on Friday, January 24, said he appreciates the intervention of the Finnish government in Ekpa case.

He said the Nigerian government is not ready to tolerate divisiveness or treasonable actions which threaten the nation’s unity.

Bayo Onanuga, the president special adviser on information and strategy, in a statement, commended the Finnish government for its “timely intervention” on the matter.

He said, “I must thank you for your record on safeguarding human rights in our country with the trial of Simon Ekpa. Nigeria is indivisible. We have been through turbulent times, and we don’t want to promote terrorism.

“I am a child born into activism, but not divisiveness. We need cohesion and cooperation to bring about development. Our watchword is stability and cohesion to move the country forward,”
Tinubu state.

Noting that the National Security Adviser has informed of all the details of the case, the president said he understands the rule of law which safeguards the democratic credentials, morals and valuess of the people.

In her response, the Ambassador of Finland commended Tinubu for his courage in initiating reforms that will benefit the economy and ensure prosperity in the future.

“Simon Ekpa has been hindering bilateral relations. The cooperation between our two countries is going very well now, and the National Security Adviser has been providing all the evidence,” the Ambassador noted.

99.99% of Igbos hate Simon Ekpa and will be happy to hear that he has been killed by firing squad because he never meant well for Igbos, he was so foolish, so useless, insensitive, careless and so senseless.


I warning him personally on several occasions even via Twitter that his downfall and disgrace is near he brushed it aside and called me a nobody.


Let it be on record that Simon Ekpa was never at anytime working for the interest of Igbos or IPOB. IPOB is not a terrorist organization neither do they condone use of violence to agitate for Biafra nation and that is why all countries of the world recognize IPOB as a peaceful secessionist group seeking for the freedom of it's people via dialogue, lobbying and referendum.



Simon Ekpa was carried away by greed and foolishness, whatever he is getting now he so deserved it more.



If this is not a save face situation after using Simon Ekpa to cause so much havoc in Southeast, then I commend Tinubu's government on this one.

Simon Ekpa is an akpa amu

FG should take Simon Ekpa and give us Nnamdi Kanu.

He should be extradited to Nigeria to reap the fruit of his works.
kingthreat(m): 6:02am On Jan 25
The 2 strongmen propagating Biafra have been emasculated by the FG. If you ask me, if Biafra will happen, it is definitely not this time. Igbos should focus on making money than putting energy into a course that majority of their people aren't ing.

Whether Nigeria like it or not, BIAFRA will come. It might take years, even hundreds of years but surely it would come. No nation subjugates it people and thrive indefinitely. Syria doesn't want Bashir Al Asad, he refused. It doesn't matter. It was time that sort out the rest. Nigeria is prolonging the inevitable and for how long, I don't know; and time is not defined. South Sudan doesn't want Sudan, they refused, it doesn't matter. Time sort it out. The only panacea to Biafra is JUSTICE.

Let Nigeria go back to tripod rule of Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba. Not even Niger Delta like the way they smuggled Godwills Akpabio into the seat. Secondly, South East should be called the Middle East because it is not even in the South East anyway(Look at the map) . Calabar, Akwaibom are the South East. Nigeria should choose three regions; annex parts of the Rivers that are Igbos and include them in the Middle East appendage(because it was created to spite Biafrans during the war by Gowon) Three regions should rule supreme: South West, north central and Middle East. Thirdly each region should concede who rule from their region in the tripod arrangement of Presidency, Vice presidency and senate presidency. For instance, the middle East that concede that a South East from Calabar rule in either presidency, vice presidency and Senate presidency when their turn reached in that Rotational system. That veto power should belong to the major ethnic groups of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. It should be called a WAZOBIA system, then peace would return to Nigeria and give the marginalized tribe a sense of belonging
