But why did he suddenly hate Nigeria?
This is a question worthy of exploration.

Has Nigeria been fair to his people so far?
He never represented Nigeria, all those stories are lies!

He competed in the tripple jump. The person that won silver for Nigeria in the 100m at the 2003 African Junior Athletics Championships was Peter Emelieze.
So which medal did he purportedly win?

The reason why Nigeria is not likely to ever be a peaceful country is that many of those who populate it will never ask themselves why Ekpa went from winning for Nigeria, to fighting and hating Nigeria?

Why did he turn his back on Nigeria? The reason is why many more in the future will still turn their backs on Nigeria, and Nigeria will be fighting

You dont get peace by shooting and fighting, you get peace listening and understanding
Is he not a politician?

Politicians turn their backs on what they earlier committed to.

Did Obi not turn his back on APGA after Obiano checkmated his godfather ambition?

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

esnbrutality:
Ghandi, Martin Luther King, or Mandela even Kenyatta where all called terrorist.

Even MKO ABIOLA that was voted by NIGERIANs was a known coup plotter

BUHARI, Muritala, were coup plotters and killers, but you named monuments after them.

So rest with your lamentations.
Hello Mr. Brutality. Ekpa will never be mentioned in the same breath as MLK or Ghandi. Ekpa is a common criminal who armed rogues and thieves with money he scammed from true Igbo patriots using structures established by the other but lesser criminal, Nnamdi. His gangs went on to destabilise every security force in the south east and then turned on the locals; the helpless, the weak; robbing, maiming and killing with reckless abandon. They turned SE into a fearful place. MLK did not do that. Ghandi did not.

Ekpa's woes only started. He will rot in jail. Nigerian sef is waiting after 6 years in Finland jail. And if you follow for him gang, you will answer to God. If you're a mere sympathiser of his, I pray no family of yours meets their end at the hands of those murderers. But if you keep supporting evil, you go use eye see.

I am full Igbo. Ekpa's woes are only begining. I'm not lamenting. He is. In jail. And so are you.

It is born out of hatred... Other tribes in Nigeria hate the Biafra struggle and igbos in general. However, they don't know exactly why they hate the igbos. I think they believe igbos are greedy and wants to take the oil alone in the name of Biafra but it's far from it. No Nigerian is benefitting anything from oil except politicians.

Igbos just want a country that will be in the hands so that they can develop it at will. Nigeria is not in our hands. Even the leaders are slave to other countries yet the citizens and following foolishly.

Ekpa was fighting for Biafra violently because, there are no other options left. Peace is far from the country because, another person will still rise and continue. I just pity the citizens who don't understand what the colonial masters are doing to us in the name of Nigeria.

Silver medal in the tripple jump at the 2003 African Junior Championships (the first post originally said that he won silver in the 100m. I got the mods to correct it).

World Athletics is the governing body of track and field athletics.

None of these pictures show that he ever represented Nigeria at any event. It is a peddled lie peddled for too long until proven otherwise.

I know people who have represented Nigeria, they dorn the national jerseys at these events.


Medal returned to who? Which medal? Which competition and where's the picture of him in Nigerian jersey, competition or him receiving medal for Nigeria? Who are his colleagues?

Animal.
They should have sent the kangaroo to naija to serve the jail term let him eat watery beans, lice and bedbugs to give him sleepless nights, not this one they put him in jail in finland, jail that can be considered to be a holiday inn. Where the food is 5star by Nigerian standards. 99% of Nigerians will consider finish jail as a holiday resort.

If you dont know something,pls keep your mouth shut.. Dont be displaying your foolishness in public. Simon Ekpa is a former athlete and even reprensented Nigeria at the Olympics.. he used to train at unilag sports centre back then. I saw him during training back then. So if you are a Gen Z or newbies try and learn bot rushing to your keyboard and start typing bla bla bla


Medal returned to who? Which medal? Which competition and where's the picture of him in Nigerian jersey, competition or him receiving medal for Nigeria? Who are his colleagues?

I read somewhere that he only vowed to return the purported medal and yet to do so but here you are claiming that he returned it? So who is lying now?

I remember how in the past, he used to be referred to as a lawyer and military officer. He is none of the two. Where is the medal and in what competition was he pictured in Nigerian jersey receiving a medal for Nigeria? NONE!

He didn’t represent Nigeria in Athletics anywhere. It is a lie that has been peddled for too long. If he represented Nigeria at any competition, he would have posted the picture all over the internet. I hope you remember the lie in the past that his co-traveller graduated from UNN until it turned out a lie.


He is not a lawyer and has never been a lawyer. Please stop peddling such false claim
