Simon Ekpa Declares Biafra’s Independence “Unstoppable” as New Currency Set to Launch
Simon Ekpa has expressed a strong sense of fulfilment, stating that Biafra’s dream of independence is on a path to reality as it gains international recognition.
According to Ekpa, the journey towards Biafra’s self-determination is supported by the sacrifices made by the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRGIE) and the commitment of Biafrans worldwide, which he believes will soon culminate in full sovereignty.
Ekpa pointed to the upcoming Biafra convention as a pivotal event that will affirm Biafra’s independence and signal to the world that Biafra is here to stay.
“The Nigerian government cannot stop it.
No forces on Earth can prevent Biafra from happening,” he stated confidently, portraying a vision of Biafra that no opposition can stand against.
One major highlight of the convention will be the unveiling of Biafra’s official currency, called Ejemma, which Ekpa says marks a significant step towards establishing the nation’s identity on the global stage.
Simon Ekpa, who is known for his strong leadership within the Biafra movement, has been an outspoken figure pushing for Biafran independence.
He has taken a lead role in spreading Biafra’s cause internationally, often clashing with Nigerian authorities who are firmly against the separation.
The BRGIE, an organization Ekpa represents, has been actively working from outside Nigeria to secure international support for Biafra’s independence.
Their mission, as Ekpa describes it, is to ensure that Biafra becomes an independent nation that can operate fully on its own
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
