ADDENDUM: FINLAND–NIGERIA v. EKPA: HAS FINLAND JOINED NIGERIA IN ITS GENOCIDAL WAR AGAINST BIAFRANS?
An armed conflict does not cease to exist because a prosecutor denies it. International humanitarian law requires an assessment of the facts, not political convenience.
This video supplements the materials already submitted to the Court of Appeal of Eastern Finland concerning H.E. Simon Ekpa’s appeal. We submit that the conflict between Nigerian genocidal forces and the Biafra Liberation Army (Army of the people, for the people, and by the people of Biafra) requires a serious assessment under the applicable law.
THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK IS CLEAR:
- Common Article 2 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions governs armed conflict between states, including where a state of war is not recognised by one of them.
- Common Article 3 establishes minimum protections in armed conflicts not of an international character, including prohibitions on murder, torture, cruel treatment and hostage-taking.
- In Prosecutor v. Tadić, the ICTY Appeals Chamber held that armed conflict includes “protracted armed violence between governmental authorities and organized armed groups” (Decision on Jurisdiction, 2 October 1995, paragraph 70).
If the prosecutor maintains that the conflict between Nigerian forces and the Biafra Liberation Army falls outside this framework, what assessment of the intensity of the fighting and the organisation of the forces supports that conclusion?
Simply saying “there is no war” does not answer the legal question.
The principle of assessing the facts objectively must apply consistently, whether the conflict concerns Russia and Ukraine or Nigeria and Biafra. The Court must determine the applicable classification and explain its reasoning.
We demand that the judges examine the relevant materials independently, free from political influence and diplomatic bargaining

Sovereignty of the United States of Biafra is Legally Factual
Biafra WAS sovereign 1967-1970. USB is not creating a NEW nation, it is RESTORING an old one. That is 100% legal under international law.
Proof Biafra was sovereign 1967-1970:
1. Declaration + Government
- May 30, 1967 - General Ojukwu declared independence at Enugu
- Had President, Cabinet, Parliament, Judiciary, Army, Police
2. Montevideo Criteria - met
- People: Biafran people yes
- Territory: Eastern Region defined
- Government: effective control of territory until Jan 1970
- Foreign relations: embassies in Gabon, Portugal, etc
3. Currency, Passport, Stamps - marks of sovereignty
- Biafran pound
- Biafran passport used to travel
- Own postage stamps
4. International recognition - 5 countries
- Tanzania - April 13, 1968
- Gabon - May 8, 1968
- Ivory Coast - May 14, 1968
- Zambia - May 20, 1968
- Haiti - March 22, 1969
5. Never legally dissolved
International law says occupation does NOT kill a state.
Examples:
- Poland occupied by Nazi Germany 1939-1945 - restored 1945
- Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania occupied by USSR for 50 years 1940-1990 - restored 1990 WITHOUT asking Russia permission. They said "we are restoring 1918 state"
Biafra never signed surrender treaty ceding sovereignty.
Never did referendum to rejoin Nigeria.
Only military occupation Jan 12, 1970. Under UN law, that occupation does not extinguish sovereignty.
*So what did USB do in Lahti Nov 29, 2024?*
It did what Somaliland did May 18, 1991 and what Baltics did in 1990:
“We are RESTORING the sovereign nation that existed 1967-1970, which was never legally dissolved"
This is called *State Continuity* or *Restoration*, not secession.
Requirements USB met:
1. Proof old nation existed - YES (1967-1970, 5 recognitions, São Paulo gazette confirms)
2. Proof it was never dissolved legally - YES (no treaty)
3. People still exist and want it - YES (50 million self-referendum vote plus Lahti Declaration)
4. Territory defined - YES (40 states map)
5. Government ready - YES (USB Cabinet + DPM Orabueze, 40 States, Commissioners, envisioned Elite Defence, Mission Heads).
For the Biafra Nigeria agents on social media misinforming gullible ones
You say Biafra was never sovereign? Our Brazilian allies prove you lie. Official Gazette of São Paulo Motion 186 of 2026 says: "Biafra proclaimed Republic in 1967, remained independent state until 1970, annexed without consent."
Tanzania, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Haiti recognized Biafra then.
“Under international law, military occupation in 1970 does not kill sovereignty” - same as Baltic states occupied 50 years.
USB is not creating new nation, it is restoring 1967 nation. Lahti Declaration 2024 is our restoration, same as Somaliland 1991. That is why FARA accepts us as de facto government-in-exile. Our Redeclaration documents have been submitted to over 200 countries and international organizations.
The United States of Biafra government will continue to use legal, peaceful means to restore our new Christian Nation - USB
Nigeria is currently, illegally occupying a Sovereign land and Must leave.

SUBJECT: URGENT INTERVENTION ON BEHALF OF NNAMDI KANU, A BRITISH NATIONAL
Dear Foreign Secretary,@Ed_Miliband
Peace Greetings
We write as longstanding Labour Party supporters from Croydon West formerly Croydon Central constituency for 38 years
We urge your urgent intervention in the case of Nnamdi Kanu, a British national abducted in Kenya in June 2021 (without the knowledge of Kenya government) and forcibly renditioned to Nigeria the late Buhari .
The courts and international human rights bodies have issued significant decisions concerning his case:
1. United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, Opinion No. 25/2022: Called for Mr Kanu’s immediate and unconditional release and adequate compensation for the violations of his human rights. <Cite refs={[“turn305179search1”,“turn305179search14”]}/>
2. Nigerian Court of Appeal, 13 October 2022: Declared his extraordinary rendition unlawful and ruled against the continuation of the relevant criminal proceedings. The decision was subsequently overturned by Nigeria’s Supreme Court in December 2023.
<Cite refs={[“turn305179search0”,“turn305179search1”]}/>
3. Federal High Court of Nigeria, 26 October 2022: Found violations of his fundamental rights and ordered ₦500 million in damages, alongside other remedies. <Cite refs={[“turn305179search4”]}/>
4. Kenyan High Court, 24 June 2025: Declared his abduction and forcible transfer to Nigeria unlawful and unconstitutional and awarded KSh 10 million in damages. <Cite refs={[“turn305179search12”]}/>
Despite these decisions, Mr Kanu was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in November 2025.
We also acknowledge the telephone call made to Mr Kanu by officials of your Ministry between 7th -8th October 2026 as in the Sokoto Prison logs.
We welcome this contact and urge the UK Government to build on it through sustained diplomatic engagement and practical measures to protect his rights as a British national.
We respectfully request that you engage the Nigerian authorities, @officialABAT to raise the UN Working Group’s findings, pursue respect for applicable court orders, ensure appropriate consular support, and press for a fair and lawful resolution of his case.
The crisis of South Eastern Nigeria is a battle created by the flawed outdated 1914 Lugard Agreement which forced Northern mainly Muslims on Southern mainly Christians together which has now legally expired. That is why the Biafra demand for self independence increases on daily basis.
British citizenship must carry meaningful protection, and international human rights obligations must be respected.
We trust that you will give this urgent matter your personal attention.
Yours sincerely,
Dr David Nyekorach-Matsanga

The consequences of fighting the United States of Biafra USB government and People is huge:
Anyone associating/ working with any of the fallback group that undermines our freedom will not end well.
Not respecting and following the orders of our leaders : MNK - PM - DPM comes with consequences.
An attack on ONE of this 3 is an attack on all 3 - mark it
Faceless Efulefu na ndi ojoo Ibe ha don’t obey our PMs instructions, they rather dwell on propaganda, chaos, undue validation, misinformation and attack on social media, they record PM and bring out only certain sections and hide other sections.
Biafrans and Media , Always challenge them to play all voices where PM talks about Dr. Orabueze lol - they won’t, because:
What they don’t know is BIGGER than them
They all have FAILED like the Sokoto Declaration and ALL those promoting it
Jekwa Jua ese
Nigeria is currently, illegally, occupying a Sovereign Nation and Must leave
No Referendum or election shall be allowed in the 40 States of Biafra territory without my approval.

A lovely song to my Beautiful Dpm🥰❤️

FINLAND–NIGERIA v. EKPA: HAS FINLAND JOINED NIGERIA IN ITS GENOCIDAL WAR AGAINST BIAFRANS?
In the Finland–Nigeria v. Ekpa case, the prosecutor reportedly disputed the existence of the ongoing Nigeria–Biafra war, using that position to justify the unlawful detention of H.E. Simon Ekpa.
Yet the Nigerian military itself has described its operations in terms of asymmetric warfare, while the neo-colonial agent and so-called presidential candidate Peter Obi (@PeterObi) has publicly raised the question of declaring war in response to the Nigeria's security crisis.
So, is the Finnish prosecutor wilfully ignorant, or simply blinded by the corrupt influence of the Nigerian regime?
What exactly is the definition of war?
War is organized armed conflict involving states, governments or organized armed groups. Under international humanitarian law, a formal declaration of war is NOT required for an armed conflict to exist. The facts on the ground determine whether the legal threshold has been met.
The European Union Agency for Asylum (@EUAsylumAgency), in its 2026 country guidance concerning members and perceived supporters of pro-Biafra separatist movements, documents disturbing patterns of persecution by Nigerian security forces.
These include:
- Arbitrary arrests and prolonged detention without trial.
- Secret abductions, torture and enforced disappearances.
- Extrajudicial killings and excessive state repression.
- Detention in military facilities under inhumane conditions.
- Targeted persecution of prominent Biafran activists and perceived sympathisers.
- Harassment, intimidation and extortion of civilians, particularly in Biafran territory.
The EUAA further acknowledges that individuals with a well-founded fear of persecution because of their support for the Biafran cause are highly likely to face persecution on grounds of political opinion.
Now, a question for the Finnish prosecutor:
If the Nigerian military itself acknowledges asymmetric warfare, and European institutions document the systematic persecution of Biafrans, on what legal and evidentiary basis are the relevant hostilities being dismissed?
Is this deliberate ignorance, selective application of international law, or the corrupt influence of the Nigerian regime over Finnish authorities?
In our assessment, Finland has effectively joined Nigeria in its genocidal war against Biafrans, not necessarily through military deployment, but through the use of its judicial institutions to advance the Nigerian regime's campaign against Biafran self-determination.
The Finnish authorities must answer serious questions about their cooperation with the Nigerian regime, the evidence relied upon in prosecuting H.E. Simon Ekpa, and whether the proceedings have respected the fundamental principles of justice, judicial independence and due process.
Despite the hostility and persecution faced by Biafrans, the people of Biafra maintain their right to self-defence within the limits of applicable domestic and international law, alongside their fundamental rights to life, liberty, human dignity and self-determination.
The absence of a formal declaration of war does not erase armed conflict. The denial of persecution does not erase its victims. And no government, whether Nigerian or Finnish, is above international law.
Ex iniuria ius non oritur -- no legal right can arise from an unlawful act.
What is good for Finland is also good for Biafra.
