Simon Ekpa Njoku, otherwise known simply as Simon Ekpa, is a character. The Finland based Lawyer has been in the news for quite a while. He is also a classic example of how the Nigerian media turns fiction into reality and propagates fake news

Despite the fact that Simon Ekpa never joined IPOB, the entire Nigerian Press corps has not only made him an IPOB member, some have gone as far as saying he leads IPOB, or a faction of it

Despite IPOB Finland saying he never joined them, despite IPOB denouncing and condemning him many times, despite Simon Ekpa saying he only but a follower of Nnamdi Kanu, the Nigerian media cannot mention Ekpa without linking him to IPOB.

This is the same Nigerian Press that spread a fake letter earlier this year, claiming that the prime minister of Finland rebuked Simon Ekpa

Thats the Nigerian press for you, unable to be factual even in front of the truthgrin grin

That's why I don't take them serious when it comes to solving the security problem in the south east.
Simon Ekpa does not belong to any IPOB group, he has somebody funding his onslaught in the south east because UGM cannot wake up and carry gun if there's no motivating factor. But the military and the media don't care, they only want to nip everything on IPOB and Complicate the main issue.

There are many people who want Nnamdi Kanu released who have nothing to do with IPOB

The point here is that Simon Ekpa has nothing to do with IPOB but your Nigerian press have made him the leader of IPOB

These are some effects of lies and propaganda, they may be going well for you until when they are turned against you.

The SE should just tarry a while and learn their place. grin

So if Simeon Ekpa is not an Ipob and he's arrested, how are we sure there won't be more sit at home in protest for his release.

Who are the people enforcing sit at home, who are the people observing it whether voluntarily or out of no choice.

The leader of the Ipob Kanu himself, are you saying if FG refused to release him, then millions of Igbo's would be forced to be sitting at home compulsory?

OP, you’re spot on! But it’s obvious what’s going on…..even using nairaland as a representation of the whole!

IPOB is a peaceful secessionist organisation seeking to hold a referendum for the realisation of Biafra! The only people against them are: Firstly the ruling Fulani hegemony and their minions in the north; followed by the Yoruba elite (political, chieftaincy and clerical) who speak from both sides of the mouth; then next are the remaining greedy, self-centred, appeasing and subservient political and chieftaincy elite from the Igbo and other ethnicities in the so called south-south! The Christian middle-belt are the least complicit in this whole pathetic affair!

The aforementioned ‘one Nigerianists’ know within them that IPOB has done nothing wrong and only picked up arms to defend themselves after repeated attacks on their lives and human rights by the Fulani-controlled federal gov’t and their herdsmen/bandit kinsfolk! This is a fact that can be corroborated with evidence! Knowing IPOB is innocent and the wronged party, they now resorted to cooking up lies and creating ‘factions’ of IPOB…..basically giving a dog a bad name to try and justify hanging it!

You noticed ALL those that despise Peter Obi and LP, Mazi Kanu and IPOB, Ndigbo, and anything dismember Nigeria…..ever noticed how ALL of them are Tinubu (formerly Buhari) minions? And most of them like the ekpa schmuck and can’t wait to give him a hug! Food for thought innit!?

We underestimate (and this is where i feel Mazi Kanu let down his guard) and fail to appreciate the scale of the evil that confronts us as we’re held against our will in ‘one Nigeria’! We’re surrounded by purely evil and xenophobic bastards who wouldn’t hesitate trying to annihilate us given half a chance! Again there’s historical evidence we can refer to in corroboration of this assertion!

Thats the thing you Nigerians will never understand, that you dont peace they you are going about it, you only make it worse

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention over 2 years, things are worse. Take out Simon Ekpa, another radical abroad will take over and sit at home continues

Aren’t we getting ahead of ourselves here!? Has your Tinubu gov’t (and the Buhari one before him) even said anything about the ekpa dolt….never mind seeking for his extradition from Finland and arraigning him in court!? I have my own theory as to why they aren’t interested in doing this!

Besides, who will order any ‘sit-at-home’ if perchance he’s arrested? Can you identify the organisation or identify faces backing the despicable turncoat? So far, the only people i see supporting him are Tinubu minions like you, and that raises other questions!

Dude, the masked bastards enforcing the ekpa ‘sit-at-home’ are not Igbo! There’s three possibilities as to where they could be from, but what’s certain is that whoever is sending them is powerful, connected and malevolent! Such a person or persons would also have connections to security bodies like the army, police or DSS! You may say i’m a dreamer….but i’m not the only one (apologies to John Lennon)! Na Nigeria we dey….the theatre of the absurd and ridiculous, where stranger-than-fiction things happen on the regular!

But he keeps claiming he is now in charge of the ne w faction.
Though I understand your point but IPOB is not doing enough to clear their name other than denying everytime.
If Ipob has the genuine interest of Igbos, they should step up awareness against sit at home, with the funds they have been getting, it will not be hard to do.
IPOB does not need gun to counter Simon, strong and massive awareness is needed now to end sit at home

I remember a particular post of when Simon Ekpa was announced as the new Radio Biafra host and I know how many people were celebrating.

Someone even predicted he would soon become rogue.

So Simon Ekpa is an IPOB member who became too power hungry simple as that, claiming he isn't IPOB is pointless.

Simon Ekpa never joined IPOB, he always had his own platform and Biafran agitation. How can Simon Ekpa be power hungry when he never held any held any position in IPOB? IPOB has denounced Ekpa many times yet the Nigerian press keep linking Ekpa to IPOB. its all propaganda that has since backfired, they ended up making Ekpa popular grin grin

This us enough to even tell that Simon Ekpa is nothing but a follower of Nnamdi Kanu, not IPOB. He was called to broadcast on Radio Biafra after Kanu was illegally brought back to Nigeria

If he belonged to IPOB, he would have been on Radio Biafra long before that. Simon Ekpa had been broadcasting on his own platform for many years
