Let me introduce you to Simon Ekpa, a Finnish Politician, Rabble Rouser, possible grifter and quite possibly the biggest political lolcow in Nigerian History. It's hard to know where to begin with this guy.
First of all the nitty gritty:

His X.com account https://x.com/simon_ekpa
Biafra Government in Exile: https://x.com/BiafraRGIE
His government office in Finland:
Is that an Israeli flag? Yes it is. There was a civil war in Nigeria from 6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970 by the secessionist state of Biafra who wanted to form their own country.
Nigerian Civil War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War
Why? Well, it's complicated but basically the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria were resented in the predominately Muslim northern part of the country. During the time that Nigeria was a British colony British missionaries brought Christianity to Nigeria along with education and colonial industrialization. The Igbo accepted this, ethnic groups in the Muslim north such as the Hausa did not. The Igbo came to dominate the colonial economy and as a result, they were resented by a lot of ethnic groups.

Anyway, the government won the civil war by imposing a military blockade in the breakaway region and then starved the people into surrender in one of the worst manmade famines in recent history:

This infamous picture was the result of the blockade by the Nigerian government against the Biafra separatists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Biafra
Remember the Israeli flag that you saw in the picture? Well Israel was balls deep in this dirty war basically playing both sides (helping the Nigerian government while also helping to arm the Biafran rebels: https://www.thecable.ng/revealed-ho...-nigeria-and-biafra-in-civil-war-double-game/
It was an effective diversion from its activities in Palestine during this period.
