AI Deception Unleashed: Unmasking the Battle for Biafra’s Soul (Long read)
I intend to leverage this AI-generated video featuring Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky to deliver a critical and thought-provoking message.
This morning, I awoke early and, upon checking my social media accounts—particularly Facebook—I was inundated with direct messages from fellow Biafrans. They urged, “Mazi Obinna, have you seen the message/video from Ada Diollamma? She claims to have received a directive from Prime Minister Simon Ekpa, mandating all Biafra media activists to fall back to the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE). Additionally, she stated that all media entities under the Biafra umbrella must immediately refrain from targeting our foreign lobbyist, Mr. Elias Gerasoulis of Moran Global Strategies.”
Intrigued, I sought clarification from one of the messengers, asking if there was concrete evidence to substantiate this claim. The response was that Ada Diollamma had announced it during her recent broadcast. I pressed further: “Did she play a voice recording of this alleged order from Simon Ekpa?” The answer was no. This prompted me to question how we could confidently verify the authenticity of such a directive without tangible proof. While Ada Diollamma is undeniably a vocal and dedicated media figure within the Biafra agitation, her credibility alone does not suffice to unconditionally endorse such instructions.
To inform my perspective on this matter, I urge you to view the attached video clip—a conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. If you haven’t seen the original footage, you might contend that this version appears AI-generated, as it feels strikingly authentic despite being a product of artificial intelligence. This exemplifies the capabilities of modern technology. Many remain unaware of the profound implications artificial intelligence (AI) could unleash upon the world.
With AI, the boundaries of possibility have expanded dramatically. What once seemed unimaginable is now within reach, and regrettably, this may ensnare individuals in predicaments not of their own making. Consider this: AI can fabricate videos depicting you robbing banks, committing heinous acts, or even murdering someone—each rendered with chilling realism. This is the power of AI.
I digress momentarily.
Returning to the alleged message from Prime Minister Simon Ekpa to Ada Diollamma, a discerning observer might detect potential ulterior motives. It evokes the biblical adage: “The voice is Jacob’s, but the hands are Esau’s.” We’ve traversed this road before; it’s not uncharted territory. Do you perceive the subtle intentions behind this directive? Have you noted the persistent refrain of “Fall back to BRGIE” from Ọge Nkere and his cohort, echoing like infants yearning for a breast milk? If Simon Ekpa indeed issued this order, a rational mind must ask: What was the purpose of the Biafra Re-Declaration Conference held last year in Lahti, Finland? At that time, we operated under the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) during our liberation phase. The Biafra Self Digital Referendum, which garnered 50 million votes affirming Biafra’s restoration, paved the way for us to proclaim our sovereign nation—the United States of Biafra.
The Lahti conference was convened to declare Biafra and initiate the transition to fully activate the 40 states of Biafra, with Simon Ekpa as its chief architect. Our constitution was crafted for this very purpose. So, I ask again: If we are to revert to BRGIE, what was the point of the Lahti conference? What becomes of our drafted constitution? Does this sit well with you, or does it unsettle your sense of reason? Common sense is imperative here.
Regarding the alleged directive to halt media criticism of Mr. Elias Gerasoulis, we must ask: Who first provoked the sensibilities of Biafrans? Who initiated this conflict? Elias Gerasoulis was once a revered figure among honest Biafrans, championed by our media. He attended the Biafra Re-Declaration Convention in Finland as a dignitary. Yet, to our dismay, this same Gerasoulis—whom we expected to exercise discretion—took to social media to assail Dr. Ngozi Ezeobika Orabueze, the Chief of Staff and Deputy Prime Minister. He falsely claimed ignorance of Dr. Orabueze and accused her of forming a rival faction, despite his participation in our conference. What, then, was Dr. Orabueze’s transgression? By all accounts, she has adhered to the original framework. To suggest Gerasoulis deserves respect prompts the question: Does respect not begin with self-respect? One cannot levy accusations and expect the accused to remain silent. Who, then, owes an apology? Gerasoulis owes Biafrans an unequivocal apology and should confine himself to his lobbying role, steering clear of administrative disputes.
Many have questioned why Dr. Ngozi Ezeobika Orabueze uses a Nigerian bank account tied to Islamic affiliations, specifically the New Mandate account. But consider this: Didn’t Prime Minister Simon Ekpa himself promote this account? Didn’t Sunny Akparawa also endorse it? Were they unaware of its alleged Islamic connections? Isn’t this an indirect indictment of Simon Ekpa, suggesting ties to Islamic fundamentalists? Reflect deeply. Moreover, had former Finance Minister Isaiah Harrison Anyaogu (aka Ọge Nkere) consented to an audit, would the issue of using a charitable account for fundraising have arisen? Sunny Akparawa, Raphael Chiamaka Ajaere (aka Vam Vam), and their allies claim the New Mandate account was for charity while simultaneously alleging Islamic ties. Do you not see the contradiction?
Concerning our Biafra Defense Forces, I maintain that their gravest error was allowing themselves to be entangled in this fiasco. Had they adhered to their operational mandate and oath of service, they would have remained aloof. Yet, those intent on destabilizing us succeeded in drawing them into this quagmire. I reiterate, with utmost conviction: The individual on X (Twitter) posing as Commander Roz is a fraud. I possess compelling evidence to support this, withheld from public disclosure due to the sensitivity of defense matters. Rest assured, Sunny Akparawa and Success Chikaodili orchestrate this imposter account. Commander Roz on X is as counterfeit as Nigeria’s foundation. Believe otherwise at your discretion.
Lastly, should any Biafran dismiss this purported message from Simon Ekpa via Ada Diollamma, they are not at fault. We follow the precedent Simon Ekpa set when he rejected alleged messages, instructions, and letters from IPOB-Nigeria’s DOS, purportedly from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody. Simon insisted that a detained man could be coerced or mimicked, demanding Kanu’s release to address us directly. Likewise, we reject this supposed order, given that Simon Ekpa is detained by Finnish authorities—a nation seemingly yielding to Nigeria, a state known for harboring terrorists. We assert that Simon Ekpa may have been coerced or mimicked. The resolution is clear: Release Simon Ekpa for a live broadcast to address us all. Case closed.
