This is Why Many Biafrans Are Not Registering for Membership, Making Donations, And Powerless in Carrying Out Fundraising

Written by Igbo Focus 31st December 2024 As soon as it is looking auspicious that Biafra is moving forward, something crops up and ruin things. A lot of people want to but are afraid to register for membership, make a donation or carry out fundraising for Biafra because a small squabble might erupt that may lead to the releasing of people’s names and addresses. Nobody knew where Mazi Simon Ekpa was operating from until IPOB mentioned that he is a criminal operating from Finland. Even IPOB denied that Simon Ekpa was a member. But how can IPOB contradict itself when every Biafra is an indigenous person from Biafra. Indigenous British is a native of British. British person does not need to be a member to answer indigenous person of British. In view of the fact mentioned above, it is difficult to know whether financial, publicity or general secretary is qualified enough to confidentially manage people’s data entrust to him or her. Though in the UK there is a law of data processing or protection that ensure people’s data should be handled confidentially without revealing people’s details no matter what! Due to the squabbling going on within the Biafra Government in exile especially between Mr. Ogechukwu Nkere, Dr. Ngozi Orabueze and others; the official lobbyist firm of Law Offices of Arman Dabiri & Associates have issued a statement stating: “I understand that this past month has been a difficult one for many Biafrans, not only due to the detention of our beloved Prime Minister Simon Ekpa but also because of the subsequent internecine disputes among competing personalities over power and control of the Biafran movement. I have remained silent until now, given the fluid and evolving nature of the situation. I also hoped to play a helpful behind-the-scenes role rather than further inflaming the ongoing infighting on social media. I privately offered to mediate as a neutral broker between the two respective parties, Mr. Ogechukwu Nkere and Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, both of whom I have had good professional and personal relations with. Unfortunately, those efforts were unsuccessful. Moreover, my role as BRGIE lobbyist became increasingly difficult, if not impossible, due to contradictory orders and demands from the opposing camps. However, recent developments have necessitated some hard but clearly defined choices dictated by U.S. law. These decisions affect myself, my firm Moran Global Strategies (MGS), and Mr. Arman Dabiri and the Law Offices of Arman Dabiri & Associates, P.L.L.C. The lobbying contracts of both my and Mr. Dabiri’s firms were signed with the Biafra Republic Government-in-Exile (BRGIE), with H.E. Prime Minister Simon Ekpa as the contract signatory. MGS’ contract with BRGIE is on record with the United States Department of Justice. The BRGIE is a nonstock corporation registered in the state of Maryland, in which Mr. Ogechukwu Nkere is one of the principal agents. Dr. Orabueze is not listed on any legal paperwork of the BRGIE. Furthermore, Mr. Nkere has now been inaugurated as the Acting Prime Minister of the BRGIE as a result of a public election orchestrated by the Conflict Resolution Committee (CRC). Dr. Orabueze has created a parallel cabinet and another initiative to compete with BRGIE. While Dr. Orabueze has the right to create her own organization or initiative, it would constitute a legal conflict of interest for Mr. Dabiri and myself to represent a competing entity, with which we have no contractual relationship. Accordingly, Mr. Dabiri and I have sent Dr. Orabueze a notice terminating our professional relationship with her. Please note that this decision is not a reflection of our personal opinions of Dr. Orabueze but rather a matter of compliance with the law and professional ethics. All steps taken have been on the advice of legal counsel. Additionally, I emphasize that only H.E. Simon Ekpa, Moran Global Strategies (MGS), and the Law Offices of Arman Dabiri & Associates, P.L.L.C. have authority over the contracts our respective firms have with the BRGIE. No other individuals are parties to or signatories of these contracts. Any attempts by third parties to assert jurisdiction or interfere with our contracts would constitute tortious interference and those third parties may be subject to civil penalties. I hope Biafrans understand and empathize with the difficult position I have been placed in and refrain from involving me in internal disputes among their leaders. I want all Biafrans to know that, regardless of which leaders or personalities they support, I will continue to advocate for all of them. I also urge all Biafrans to treat one another with greater respect and civility, despite their differences of opinion. Mr. Dabiri and I look forward to working with the BRGIE and Acting Prime Minister Ogechukwu Nkere, and we congratulate him on his election. We also extend our best wishes to Dr. Orabueze in all her future endeavors. Sincerely, Elias Gerasoulis - Moran Global Strategies (MGS).”
