Quote "He is chiefly known for spreading fake news and allegedly inciting violence in southeastern Nigeria." Nothing about that in the rest of the article. Haven't checked if sources are WP:BLP-good or if they support the content. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
A freedom fighter seeking for the libration of the Biafra people that are killed on daily bases by the Nigerian government — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.205.113.153 (talk) 10:50, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Simon Epka has millons of followers because he is the spokes person of the Biafra people, the Biafra people are seeking for independence from Nigeria 129.205.113.153 (talk) 10:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Simon Ekpa is not spreading fake News, everything he's saying in his lectures can be provenir with facts and figures. I want to express my concern about tarnishing a repurtation of a respectful citizen of Finland, who has been doing Fantastic Job on many different fields, including human rights activism. Please correct your article about his News, it is obvious that the person who wrote the article about him haven't done any research on his News. 85.76.147.26 (talk) 20:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Prime Minister of Biafra Republic Government In-Exile www.biafrarepublicgov.org Leke23 (talk) 07:18, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
It almost impossible to be neutral in writing about Simon Ekpa especially when sources are from Nigeria government controlled Media. So, the sources must based on fact from the content of media report.
Example, the Nigeria media always reported that Ekpa is self styled Prime Minister, this is false and misleading. Ekpa was voted by Biafrans in zoom Biafra cabinet meeting and currently Biafrans are loyal to him than they are to the government of Nigeria which is the reason he call for sit at home and millions of Biafrans obey him even when the governors cancel it, the people obey Ekpa. This link is the latest which was widely reported by almost all news media https://dailypost.ng/2023/06/05/sit-at-home-ekpa-knocks-mbah-claims-governor-disgraced/ also read "But the Finland based leader of the autopilot, an arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Simon Ekpa responded to Governor Mbah with a matching threat, saying that no Nigeria government operates in Biafra land and insisted that the Monday sit-at-home must continue to be observed in the seven Igbo-speaking states of south east and south-south." https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/06/enugu-residents-ignore-gov-mbahs-order-observe-ipobs-sit-at-home/ The point here is that, the Wikipedia profile of Ekpa should rightfully edited as the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile that is fact and neutral. Also i can see that the website of the government is already on the wikipedia page, so addressing him as a self styled Prime Minister is not neutral rather the language of the opposition to downgrade him and the movement. 2001:14BA:5E25:9E00:A8A5:321F:6C45:7195 (talk) 11:07, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

I appeal that you please review my last edits on article Simon Ekpa. The intro is obviously misleading as Simon Ekpa is not and have never called himself Leader of Biafra independence movement. Check out the references in the article and you notice that he describes himself as the Disciple of Nnamdi Kanu. Please re-review ASAP to maintain a clear information.

Ekpa-realted discussion at Talk:List_of_Donald_Trump_2024_presidential_campaign_primary_endorsements#Simon_Ekpa. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:27, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
WP and Commons are both very careful about copyright. It's a pain, but it's how it is.
At Commons you can, basically, upload pictures you have taken yourself with your own camera. So the "simple" solution is to take a new, previously unpublished anywhere, picture of Ekpa and upload it yourself on Commons. If something like the pic here [4] is to be used on Commons/WP, you have to get the photographer to follow the directions at Commons:Volunteer Response Team. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Leke23, you uploaded 2 pics of Ekpa [5] as "own work". "Own work" in this context means "I took these picrures myself with my own camera." Did you do that, or did you just upload them anyway? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:22, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
The Finnish language article is good and well researched imo. I encourage somebody translates material from it. As an example, the finnish article elaborates more on Ekpa law studies, that he has taken law courses, worked in his wifes law firm, but is not legally able to practise law as a lawyer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennet.mattfolk (talk • contribs) 19:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
