STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS. 29.08.2025

Fellow Biafrans, Patriots, and Friends of Freedom, Happy 9 Months Independence Anniversary. I speak to you today on behalf of our Government, our Leader, our Prime Minister, and our proud people. This is a moment that demands truth, courage, and unity.

In recent months, the United States of Biafra has endured some of the most aggressive assaults on our dignity and our very right to exist. Yet, at the same time, we have secured some of the most remarkable victories in defending our sovereignty.

Our Enemies Exposed

The Nigerian regime has been exposed before the world; not through our words alone, but through the verdicts of courts across the globe. A Canadian court has ruled that Nigeria’s ruling class meets the definition of terrorists, as they were deeply implicated in acts of political violence, subversion of democracy, and electoral bloodshed, inflicting harm and terror on Nigerians and Biafrans.

A Kenyan court has condemned Nigeria’s criminal abduction of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Right in our homeland, the High Court in Enugu has affirmed our lawful right to independence.

The discharge and acquittal of four innocent Biafrans by the Finnish authorities - Despite Finland’s fishing expedition on behalf of the Nigerian government, our four Biafran citizens were eventually set free after being illegally detained. The very same so-called “evidence” used to justify their arrest was later dismissed as baseless, and the case was dropped. Yet, these Biafrans were unjustly held for a month under conditions tantamount to solitary confinement.

These are not opinions. They prove that Nigeria’s leadership functions as a terror entity; trampling on human rights, violating international law, and facilitating transnational repression.

On the Basis of the Canadian Court Verdict

We now declare that all political parties and individuals representing Nigeria within Biafra territory are proscribed as terrorist organizations. This includes APC, PDP, APGA, LP, AAC, NPP, and any other parties or groups that act under Nigeria’s authority. They are all united in one mission — to kill Biafrans, to suppress our freedoms, and to protect the interests of the Nigerian terror regime. From this day forward, they are recognized as agents of terror in our land, and the Biafran people must treat them as such, because No election organized by any terrorist entity will ever be permitted in our land.

Finland’s Complicity, Systematic Failures in Finland and the Unjust Detention of Our Prime Minister

Our work in exposing the enemies of Biafra has also laid bare Finland’s own complicity against our nation. By siding with Nigeria in the persecution of our Prime Minister, His Excellency Simon Ekpa, Finland has placed itself on the wrong side of history. We remain confident that when September comes, the truth will prevail, and H.E. Simon Ekpa will walk free; because it is clear to the world that it is not Biafran leaders who should be standing trial, but Nigerian authorities themselves, for war crimes and terrorism.

The current Finnish Government has failed systematically, leading to the unjust detention of our Prime Minister, His Excellency Simon Ekpa. The actions of the Finnish leadership, headed by Alexander Stubb and Petteri Orpo, undermine the genuine efforts of Finnish institutions. The kidnapping of H.E. Simon Ekpa contradicts every meaningful contribution Finland has sought to make in global affairs. The system in Finland subjects innocent citizens to psychological torture, trapped in endless circles of deliberate and shambolic court processes that have no basis in law.

His Excellency Simon Ekpa submitted over 200 pages documenting the plight of Biafra to the office of former Finnish President Tarja Halonen. Yet, he languishes in unjust incarceration.

On August 24, 2025, Finland’s Minister of the Interior, Mari Rantanen, wrote on X: “As long as the country is up to its ears in debt and services for its own citizens are lagging, we cannot virtue-signal and daydream everywhere.” Yet, while she speaks of debt and domestic struggles, her government presides over the unjust detention of our Prime Minister. What greater hypocrisy can there be than a government that claims it cannot afford to “virtue-signal,” yet has all the resources to kidnap, suppress, and persecute the innocent?

Internal Enemies

Certain individuals have long been used to derail the full protection of our land. The Nigerian state has deliberately manipulated Biafrans to turn against one another. Yet, through transparency in our Government, we have exposed the regime’s tactics of using compromised Biafrans against their own people. But the people of Biafra are no longer deceived; we can read between the lines. We know that we have only one legitimate government: the United States of Biafra Government. And in this final push to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity, unity is our greatest weapon. Our common enemy is clear: reintegrated terrorists, illegitimate governors collaborating with Nigerian forces, corrupt politicians, and killer squads such as Operation Udo Ga Chi, Ebube Agu, Agu Na Echemba, so-called “special forces,” and Fulani militias. These enemies slaughter our people, rape our women, harvest organs, and destroy our homes and farmlands in a campaign of systemic genocide and economic sabotage.

Progress and Achievements

Despite these attacks, the United States of Biafra has moved forward with purpose:

Legal Victories – We now have several decisive international rulings that confirm Nigeria’s crimes and affirm our right to independence.

Diplomatic Reach – We have expanded our voice to parliaments, human rights groups, and international media outlets worldwide.

Humanitarian Relief – We have delivered food, medicine, and aid to our people in the 40 United States of Biafra, despite Nigeria’s attempts to starve us into submission, to brand millions of Biafrans worldwide as “terrorist financiers,” and to pressure financial institutions across the globe into blocking Biafrans from carrying out legitimate transactions. We have extended support to millions of Biafrans whose breadwinners have been killed or imprisoned by the Nigerian regime in DSS, police, and military dungeons across Nigeria and Biafraland. Beyond this, countless communities have been displaced, homes burned, and families devastated by the regime’s brutality.

Global Awareness – Through USB Radio, our media campaigns, and the dedicated efforts of our lobbyists, the voice of Biafra is now being heard on every continent.

Diplomatic Missions – In addition to our Headquarters in Washington, D.C., the United States of Biafra has registered and established diplomatic missions across the world. We continue to expand this network, and Biafrans will be regularly updated as our Heads of Mission work diligently in service to our nation and its people. As a newly restored nation, one of our most critical steps toward international recognition is the ceaseless pursuit of global diplomatic engagements. We provide consular services to Biafrans and offer guidance to all those interested in Biafra, ensuring that no Biafran is left without protection. At the same time, we affirm that the United States of Biafra is a reliable and trustworthy partner in diplomatic engagement worldwide.

IHL Trainings – Our armed forces and government officials have been actively participating in courses and trainings on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) to ensure discipline in our self-defense and collective defense, in line with international best practices. This reaffirms our uncompromising stance that no criminal actions or war crimes will ever be tolerated in our land under the guise of fighting for Biafra, while in reality serving the terrorist regime of Nigeria in its attempt to demonize our nation. Discipline remains the cornerstone of all we do. We remain open and committed to working with human rights organizations and other institutions that provide updated courses and trainings in IHL.

Unity of Purpose – The Biafran people stand more united today than ever before, rejecting all attempts to divide us. We have only one legitimate government; the Government of the United States of Biafra. Anyone who does not stand with this government is, by choice or by compromise, standing with the Nigerian regime.

United States of Biafra Currency – We are currently in the process of producing a new Bank of Biafra series of currency notes for both domestic and international use. The new currency, denominated in Ejemma, will officially replace the Biafran Pounds last issued by the Republic of Biafra. These notes will incorporate the most advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies and will be printed by one of the world’s leading security printing companies. The official date of issuance and the venue for the special launch ceremony will be announced in due course. The Biafran currency will soon be in use across our land, and as history shows, good money will always drive away bad money.

The Plight of Biafrans Will Not Be Ignored

Although some may deliberately ignore the plight of the Biafran people, and others may simply be unaware, Biafrans will continue to advance on the path of recognition and nation-building. The application and issuance of national ID cards are ongoing, and we are in the process of finalizing our international passport, which will enable Biafrans to travel to countries that recognize our nation. In addition, work is underway to provide Biafran driver’s licenses.

Our Next Steps

We will continue to strengthen stability and peace within our polity, deepen alliances with nations across the world, and ensure that every Biafran is protected wherever they may be. Above all, we will keep mobilizing Biafrans worldwide to speak with one united voice — for justice, for freedom, for the United States of Biafra.

Declaration to Nigeria and Its Allies

The Government of the United States of Biafra hereby issues the following demands:

1. End of Occupation: Nigeria must immediately cease its illegal occupation of Biafraland and withdraw all security apparatus from our territory.

2.Stop Divisive Tactics: Nigeria must end its instigation of Biafrans against Biafrans. The Government has uncovered this plot and will not allow such divisive strategies to undermine our unity.

3.Cease Resource Exploitation: All activities relating to the illegal exploration and exploitation of Biafra’s natural and mineral resources must be brought to an end.

4.Recognition of Sovereignty: The United States of Biafra and its people must be accorded their rightful status as a sovereign state under international law. 5.End Transnational Repression: Nigeria must immediately halt all acts of transnational repression, as witnessed in Kenya and Finland.

6. Stop Collusion: Nigeria and its allies must cease all forms of collaboration and collusion aimed at undermining Biafra and its people.

7. Cancel Exploitative Contracts: All contracts concerning the illegal exploration and exploitation of Biafra’s resources must be discontinued without delay.

To the People of Biafra

Remain steadfast. Hold your head high. Remember always that you are citizens of an independent nation under illegal occupation. Each day, we move closer to the systematic removal of all Nigerian forces and agents from our land, and nearer to the moment when the world will recognize the Biafran flag as the banner of a sovereign and independent state.

On behalf of the Government of the United States of Biafra, I declare: Long live the United States of Biafra. Long live our people. And may God bless our liberation.

Signed

Dr. Ngozi Orabueze

Acting Head of State and Deputy Prime Minister
