00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Justice Mohammad Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting
2
00:00:03,520 –> 00:00:06,919
in Abuja on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the
3
00:00:06,960 –> 00:00:11,400
Inspector General of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to
4
00:00:11,439 –> 00:00:15,599
stop the upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by
5
00:00:15,679 –> 00:00:19,320
Nigerians to demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic
6
00:00:19,359 –> 00:00:24,519
Agitation leader Marzi Nandi Carno. But according to the organizer
7
00:00:24,559 –> 00:00:28,640
of the protest, Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined
8
00:00:28,679 –> 00:00:31,920
to grant the Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion
9
00:00:32,119 –> 00:00:35,560
to stop the planned protest in the open court, the
10
00:00:35,560 –> 00:00:39,600
Federal High Court Judge Justice Umar reportedly granted the motion
11
00:00:39,799 –> 00:00:43,479
in chambers imposing a ban on protests at Asso Rock Villa,
12
00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:47,600
National Assembly or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a
13
00:00:47,719 –> 00:00:51,479
certified true copy of the order which our lawyers will review.
14
00:00:51,759 –> 00:00:55,679
The protest remains unstoppable while this is ongoing. The United
15
00:00:55,719 –> 00:01:00,600
States US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to
16
00:01:00,640 –> 00:01:03,880
be far from the protest areas and limit their movements
17
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:08,719
in the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest
18
00:01:08,799 –> 00:01:12,599
may lead to disructions and violence. Detailed of the court
19
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:16,439
action as captured by Punch newspaper. The Federal High Court
20
00:01:16,439 –> 00:01:20,079
in Abuja has refused the Nigeria Police forces bid to
21
00:01:20,120 –> 00:01:24,439
stop the Free Namdi Canyono protest, allowing it to proceed
22
00:01:24,480 –> 00:01:28,760
as scheduled. On Monday, October twentieth, twenty twenty five, the
23
00:01:28,840 –> 00:01:33,920
Inspector General of Police, KeyOne Eggbetoken, had dispatched police lawyers
24
00:01:33,959 –> 00:01:36,680
to the court to move an ex party motion against
25
00:01:36,719 –> 00:01:40,879
activist and protest organizer Omiyele Saware in a bid to
26
00:01:40,959 –> 00:01:46,040
legally preempt the planned demonstration slated for the Asso Rock Villa. However,
27
00:01:46,640 –> 00:01:50,519
Justice Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja declined to
28
00:01:50,599 –> 00:01:54,120
grant the motion, which would have immediately restrained the protest
29
00:01:54,159 –> 00:01:58,159
from taking place without hearing the opposing side. The judge
30
00:01:58,200 –> 00:02:01,280
instead instructed the police to fort formally serve notice of
31
00:02:01,319 –> 00:02:04,959
their application on Saware and adjourned the case until Tuesday
32
00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:09,599
for a proper contested hearing. Reacting to the judicial decision,
33
00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:14,560
the protest convener, Omiyele Saware affirmed the court’s decision as
34
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:17,199
a victory for civil liberties and doubled down on the
35
00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:21,199
scheduled protest. In a statement issued on his ex handle
36
00:02:21,280 –> 00:02:26,560
on Friday. Following the ruling, Suware said Igo Police Nigeria
37
00:02:26,919 –> 00:02:30,599
Coyode Eggbato can dispatch police lawyers to sue me in
38
00:02:30,639 –> 00:02:33,960
an effort to halt the free Lamdicanuno protest scheduled Faraso
39
00:02:34,120 –> 00:02:38,639
Rock Villa on Monday. However, the Judge Justice whom Are
40
00:02:38,680 –> 00:02:41,840
of Federal High Court in Abuja refused to grant the
41
00:02:41,879 –> 00:02:45,599
ex party motion, instead instructing him to serve me notice
42
00:02:45,639 –> 00:02:48,719
and adjourning the case until Tuesday for a proper hearing.
43
00:02:49,479 –> 00:02:54,120
The demons. Whenever controversies surround Rufaya Sini, the outspoken and
44
00:02:54,199 –> 00:02:58,639
fearless broadcaster on a Rise Television, one recurring argument often
45
00:02:58,680 –> 00:03:03,159
resurfaces in public discourse the claim that Rufeiyasini is not
46
00:03:03,199 –> 00:03:06,520
a journalist. Critics are quick to emphasize that he lacks
47
00:03:06,520 –> 00:03:10,879
a formal academic background in journalism, having originally trained in
48
00:03:10,919 –> 00:03:14,960
animal anatomy. But beyond the semantics of qualification, a deeper
49
00:03:15,039 –> 00:03:18,960
question emerges. What truly defines a journalist and what are
50
00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:23,800
the core functions of journalism in society. As mass communication teacher,
51
00:03:24,199 –> 00:03:26,960
we teach students from the very first class that the
52
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:32,800
media exists to inform, educate, entertain, and preserve cultural heritage.
53
00:03:32,960 –> 00:03:36,280
Journalists also play the crucial roles of agenda setting and
54
00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:40,800
acting as watchdogs, holding public officials accountable, and amplifying the
55
00:03:40,879 –> 00:03:44,919
voices of the governed. The media’s capacity to shape national
56
00:03:44,960 –> 00:03:49,960
conversations is immense. By highlighting specific issues and giving them prominence,
57
00:03:50,360 –> 00:03:54,719
journalists help raise awareness and influence public perception. It is
58
00:03:54,800 –> 00:03:59,520
through such a gender setting functions that societies engage in dialogue, debate,
59
00:04:00,039 –> 00:04:04,439
and reform, thereby playing participatory role in the process of governance.
60
00:04:05,199 –> 00:04:08,840
When examined through this functional lens, it becomes clear that
61
00:04:08,960 –> 00:04:14,919
Rufai sany has consistently fulfilled these journalistic responsibilities over the years.
62
00:04:14,960 –> 00:04:20,240
His incisive questioning, fearless commentary, and commitment to public accountability
63
00:04:20,279 –> 00:04:24,079
have made him one of the most recognizable broadcast personalities
64
00:04:24,120 –> 00:04:28,480
in contemporary Nigerian media. A notable example is his now
65
00:04:28,560 –> 00:04:32,560
famous exchange with the Minister of Works, Engineer Dave Yumihi
66
00:04:32,839 –> 00:04:37,720
on a Rise television. Before that encounter, few Nigerians had
67
00:04:37,720 –> 00:04:41,879
publicly interrogated the cost per kilometer of road construction projects
68
00:04:41,920 –> 00:04:47,079
executed by government agencies. While the minister initially dismissed Rufai’s
69
00:04:47,160 –> 00:04:52,680
questioners elementary, the issue soon gained traction nationally. In fact,
70
00:04:53,040 –> 00:04:57,399
subsequent clarifications by Yumihi and even a public response by
71
00:04:57,439 –> 00:05:01,839
Oyo State Governor Saying mar Kinde demonstrated that Assani’s line
72
00:05:01,839 –> 00:05:06,480
of questioning had forced an important accountability conversation into the mainstream.
73
00:05:07,279 –> 00:05:10,720
Through this singular act, Rufi did what the media are
74
00:05:10,759 –> 00:05:15,160
mandated to do, hold power accountable, enlighten the public, and
75
00:05:15,279 –> 00:05:19,560
stimulate civic engagement. It is true that a formal qualification
76
00:05:20,079 –> 00:05:23,399
such as a diploma all degree in journalism is generally
77
00:05:23,439 –> 00:05:28,519
considered a prerequisite for professional practice, Yet history tells a
78
00:05:28,560 –> 00:05:32,439
different story about the Nigerian press. Many of the country’s
79
00:05:32,439 –> 00:05:37,160
most celebrated media pioneers, from Herbert mcaulay to Ernest A. Collie,
80
00:05:37,399 –> 00:05:42,079
Namdia Zeki Way and Obefemi Awoloa. Nigerian Army Authority has
81
00:05:42,120 –> 00:05:46,240
issued a statement denying threat messages issued against members of
82
00:05:46,319 –> 00:05:49,399
the public ahead of the plan mass protests slated for
83
00:05:49,480 –> 00:05:53,079
October twentieth, twenty twenty five to demand for the release
84
00:05:53,120 –> 00:05:58,319
and freedom of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikanu,
85
00:05:58,759 –> 00:06:02,480
just as the organizer and chief campaigner, Omiyele Saware, the
86
00:06:02,519 –> 00:06:05,519
publisher of Sahara a Reporters news media, met to seek
87
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:09,040
understanding with the former President of Nigeria, good Luck of
88
00:06:09,079 –> 00:06:13,600
Vele Jonathan, who, according to Saware, promised to visit President
89
00:06:13,639 –> 00:06:18,040
Bolah Ahmed Tanubu to discuss the issue with him. Nigerian Army,
90
00:06:18,079 –> 00:06:21,480
in a statement on Friday, said the attention of the
91
00:06:21,600 –> 00:06:25,720
Nigerian Army ENNA has been drawn to a misleading publication
92
00:06:25,879 –> 00:06:30,040
by Sahara Reporters alleging that a Facebook page purportedly operated
93
00:06:30,079 –> 00:06:34,360
by military personnel issued veiled threats against certain individuals ahead
94
00:06:34,360 –> 00:06:38,319
of a planned October twentieth protest. The report is not
95
00:06:38,399 –> 00:06:41,519
only false, but a deliberate attempt to misinform the public
96
00:06:41,560 –> 00:06:45,639
and discredit the noble institution of the Nigerian Army. For
97
00:06:45,720 –> 00:06:49,160
the avoidance of doubt, the Nigerian Army has only two
98
00:06:49,160 –> 00:06:52,959
official social media handles, namely at h Q and Nigerian
99
00:06:53,079 –> 00:06:56,480
Army and at Nigerian Army Info, which are duly verified
100
00:06:56,480 –> 00:07:01,560
on Facebook x formerly Twitter, Instagram and use any other
101
00:07:01,639 –> 00:07:05,439
page or account outside these verified handles does not belong
102
00:07:05,480 –> 00:07:08,959
to the Nigerian Army and should be disregarded in its entirety.
103
00:07:09,720 –> 00:07:12,959
It is pertinent to state that certain civilians and online
104
00:07:13,079 –> 00:07:17,360
content creators now operate pages that post military related contents
105
00:07:17,399 –> 00:07:21,240
purely for the purpose of generating online traffic and monetary gain.
106
00:07:22,120 –> 00:07:26,079
Such pages have no affiliation whatsoever with the Nigerian Army.
107
00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:31,120
The NA therefore dissociates itself completely from any post statement
108
00:07:31,519 –> 00:07:36,439
or activity emanating from these unauthorized sources. The Nigerian Army
109
00:07:36,519 –> 00:07:40,680
remains a professional, disciplined and a political institution committed to
110
00:07:40,759 –> 00:07:43,879
the defense and unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
111
00:07:44,639 –> 00:07:49,279
In the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities, the NA continues
112
00:07:49,319 –> 00:07:53,079
to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, adherence to the
113
00:07:53,160 –> 00:07:57,079
rule of law, and respect for human rights. The general
114
00:07:57,120 –> 00:08:00,519
public and media practitioners are hereby enjoined to say verify
115
00:08:00,639 –> 00:08:04,800
all information concerning the Nigerian Army only through its official
116
00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:09,040
platforms or the Directorate of Army Public Relations before publication
117
00:08:09,240 –> 00:08:14,199
or dissemination. The Nigerian Army therefore urges Sahara reporters and
118
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:18,000
other media outlets to exercise due diligence in verifying the
119
00:08:18,079 –> 00:08:21,560
authenticity of their sources to avoid the spread of falsehood
120
00:08:21,560 –> 00:08:27,000
capable of misleading the public and undermining national security. Armile saware.
121
00:08:27,160 –> 00:08:30,680
In a statement made available through his personal social President
122
00:08:30,759 –> 00:08:34,600
Bola Ahmed Tanubu of Nigeria has accepted the resignation of
123
00:08:34,639 –> 00:08:39,720
the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Jeffruche Naji, who
124
00:08:39,759 –> 00:08:42,440
had been accused of forging the degree certificate of the
125
00:08:42,559 –> 00:08:46,480
University of Nigeria in Succa and the certificate of completion
126
00:08:46,639 –> 00:08:49,919
of service for the one year mandatory National Youth Service
127
00:08:49,960 –> 00:08:55,279
Corps NYSC after he allegedly failed an exit course virology
128
00:08:55,720 –> 00:09:00,519
repeatedly at the University Nigeria Presidency. In a state made
129
00:09:00,519 –> 00:09:04,879
available a few minutes ago by the Presidential spokesperson, BeO
130
00:09:04,919 –> 00:09:10,440
Onanuga stated that President Bolahamed Tanubu has accepted the resignation
131
00:09:10,559 –> 00:09:15,200
of Jeffrey Cha Naji, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology,
132
00:09:15,639 –> 00:09:20,679
following some allegations against him. President Tanubu appointed Naji in
133
00:09:20,720 –> 00:09:24,240
August twenty twenty three. He resigned today in a letter
134
00:09:24,279 –> 00:09:28,480
thanking the President for allowing him to serve Nigeria. Naji
135
00:09:28,519 –> 00:09:31,960
said he has been a target of blackmail by political opponents.
136
00:09:32,759 –> 00:09:35,919
President Tanubu thanked him for his service and wished him
137
00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:42,039
well in future endeavors. Earlier, Nigeria State controlled media NTA
138
00:09:42,120 –> 00:09:46,559
had reported that the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology
139
00:09:46,919 –> 00:09:52,120
HUCHE Jeffrey Naji, has dismissed reports questioning his academic qualifications,
140
00:09:52,159 –> 00:09:56,440
describing him as politically motivated attempts to tarnish his image.
141
00:09:56,519 –> 00:09:59,960
The minister has firmly defended the authenticity of his Universe
142
00:10:00,399 –> 00:10:06,480
of Nigeria INSUCCA degree. Speaking through his spokesperson, doctor Robert
143
00:10:06,639 –> 00:10:11,200
n Gwu, the minister said records from UNN confirm he
144
00:10:11,279 –> 00:10:15,200
graduated in July nineteen eighty five with a bachelor’s degree
145
00:10:15,360 –> 00:10:21,000
in Microbiology and Biochemistry, second Class Honours, Lower Division. He
146
00:10:21,120 –> 00:10:25,879
described recent reports denying his graduation as false, malicious and
147
00:10:25,919 –> 00:10:30,159
politically driven, alleging that the controversy began after opposition figures
148
00:10:30,200 –> 00:10:34,360
took key positions within the university. Naji revealed that the
149
00:10:34,360 –> 00:10:38,200
Federal High Court in Abuja has issued protective orders restraining
150
00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:41,639
the university from tampering with his records and directing the
151
00:10:41,720 –> 00:10:46,960
release of his academic transcript. Reaffirming his focus on national service,
152
00:10:47,360 –> 00:10:50,600
the minister said no amount of political blackmail or media
153
00:10:50,720 –> 00:10:55,200
trial will distract him from advancing innovation and technology in Nigeria.
154
00:10:55,960 –> 00:10:59,360
He urged the University of Nigeria to uphold its motto
155
00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:03,039
restore the dignity of Man and resist being used for
156
00:11:03,080 –> 00:11:08,120
partisan purposes. In a swift reaction on Tuesday, Enugu State
157
00:11:08,200 –> 00:11:12,720
Government denied sponsoring allegations of certificate forgery against the Minister
158
00:11:12,799 –> 00:11:17,919
of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Fuche Naji, urging him
159
00:11:17,960 –> 00:11:22,960
to carry his cross and clear. Princess Olturrea Maje Kudnmyneru
160
00:11:23,039 –> 00:11:25,919
from Ogan State and a Commonwealth Award winner who is
161
00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:29,039
currently pursuing a Master degree in Law, has called on
162
00:11:29,120 –> 00:11:32,600
the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President
163
00:11:32,679 –> 00:11:36,960
Bola Ahmed Tanubu, to immediately release the detained Biafra Republic
164
00:11:37,039 –> 00:11:42,320
Agitation leader Marzi Namdikanu, stating in a statement personally signed
165
00:11:42,360 –> 00:11:46,240
and made available to Media Newsroom on Monday that ten
166
00:11:46,320 –> 00:11:49,840
years of detention without conviction is a grave violation of
167
00:11:49,879 –> 00:11:54,919
the fundamental human rights of Marzi Namdikrnu specifically stated verbat
168
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:59,600
in that the continued detention of mister Karnu without conviction
169
00:11:59,759 –> 00:12:02,799
is not merely a legal anomaly. It is a profound
170
00:12:02,840 –> 00:12:06,200
failure of justice and a grave violation of his fundamental
171
00:12:06,279 –> 00:12:10,480
human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the widening gap between
172
00:12:10,600 –> 00:12:15,600
Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities of citizens. We
173
00:12:15,679 –> 00:12:18,399
must have a justice system that acts with both fairness
174
00:12:18,440 –> 00:12:22,480
and decisive strength, not one ensnared in endless procedural limbo
175
00:12:22,519 –> 00:12:27,080
and mired in public distrust. According to the Princess, across
176
00:12:27,120 –> 00:12:30,879
the span of a decade, Marzi Namdikaru has endured one
177
00:12:30,919 –> 00:12:34,000
of the longest and most troubling pre trial attentions in
178
00:12:34,120 –> 00:12:39,879
Nigeria’s history. Arrested in twenty fifteen, accused, pleading not guilty
179
00:12:40,200 –> 00:12:43,919
and never convicted, he remains confined in a blatant defiance
180
00:12:43,960 –> 00:12:48,440
of the most fundamental human rights principles. Whereas justice when
181
00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:52,320
a man stands unconvicted for ten years while those charged
182
00:12:52,360 –> 00:12:57,039
with upholding justice remains silent. The continued detention of mister
183
00:12:57,559 –> 00:13:01,159
Karnu without conviction is not merely a lee anomaly. It
184
00:13:01,279 –> 00:13:04,159
is a profound failure of justice and a grave violation
185
00:13:04,320 –> 00:13:08,919
of his fundamental human rights. His prolonged detention exposes the
186
00:13:08,919 –> 00:13:13,960
widening gap between Nigeria’s constitutional expectations and the daily realities
187
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:17,679
of citizens. We must have a justice system that acts
188
00:13:17,720 –> 00:13:21,159
with both fairness and decisive strength, not one ensnared in
189
00:13:21,279 –> 00:13:26,000
endless procedural limbo and mired in public distrust. No charge,
190
00:13:26,240 –> 00:13:30,039
however grave, should ever eclipse the principle that every individual
191
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:34,279
is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That principle is the
192
00:13:34,399 –> 00:13:38,120
very cornerstone of law and must never be broken, regardless
193
00:13:38,159 –> 00:13:42,000
of who holds power. As we call for Marsi Namdikano’s
194
00:13:42,039 –> 00:13:45,919
immediate and unconditional freedom, my heart goes out to millions
195
00:13:45,919 –> 00:13:51,759
of Nigerians across tribal lines, generations and economic classes, from
196
00:13:51,759 –> 00:13:54,919
Bornou to Quira to Legos, crying out for help against
197
00:13:55,080 –> 00:14:00,440
armed violence, force displacement, demolitions, unlawful detentions, and us timely
198
00:14:00,480 –> 00:14:04,480
deaths and the persistent scarcity of life’s most basic necessities.
199
00:14:05,240 –> 00:14:11,559
Beyond politics, every life matters. Marzi Namliukanu’s health and Voladimir Zelenski,
200
00:14:11,879 –> 00:14:14,879
the President of Ukraine, may have given a clearer picture
201
00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:18,080
on how some companies are apparently aiding and making more
202
00:14:18,159 –> 00:14:21,600
money from the ongoing war in his country, Ukraine, saying
203
00:14:22,039 –> 00:14:24,639
since the start of the war four years ago, some
204
00:14:24,799 –> 00:14:35,480
unnamed companies in the United States, US, United Kingdom, uk China, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Japan, Korea,
205
00:14:35,519 –> 00:14:40,879
Republic Netherlands are producing components. Russia, under President Vladimir Putin
206
00:14:41,039 –> 00:14:44,440
is using to produce weapons of mass destruction to kill
207
00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:48,200
his people. This Zelensky, in his own words, said on
208
00:14:48,360 –> 00:14:51,720
Monday that in the fourth year of the full scale war,
209
00:14:52,120 –> 00:14:56,080
Russia continues to obtain components for producing weapons. During the
210
00:14:56,120 –> 00:14:59,799
massive combined strike on Ukraine on the night of October fifth,
211
00:15:00,159 –> 00:15:04,279
Russia used five hundred and forty nine weapons systems containing
212
00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:07,960
one hundred and two thousand, seven hundred and eighty five
213
00:15:08,120 –> 00:15:12,440
foreign made components from companies in the United States, China
214
00:15:12,519 –> 00:15:17,879
and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic
215
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:21,840
of Korea, and the Netherlands. Nearly one hundred thousand, six
216
00:15:21,960 –> 00:15:24,720
hundred and eighty eight of foreign made parts were in
217
00:15:24,720 –> 00:15:28,440
the launched attack drones. About one thousand, five hundred were
218
00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:31,840
in a scandas one hundred and ninety two in Kinsel
219
00:15:31,879 –> 00:15:36,720
missiles and four hundred and five in calibers. Zelensky stated
220
00:15:36,720 –> 00:15:39,960
this in a statement made available through his personal social
221
00:15:40,039 –> 00:15:43,840
media profile on Monday, after about thirty people were injured
222
00:15:43,840 –> 00:15:46,080
as a result of the Russian attack on a moving
223
00:15:46,159 –> 00:15:50,159
passenger train, killing one person in Shoshka District of Ukraine
224
00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:55,480
on Saturday. According to Zelenski, Ukraine is preparing new sanctions
225
00:15:55,480 –> 00:15:58,240
against those who help Russia and its war, and we
226
00:15:58,320 –> 00:16:03,080
have communicated proposals to curb the supply schemes. Partners already
227
00:16:03,120 –> 00:16:06,360
possess the detailed data on each company and each product.
228
00:16:06,799 –> 00:16:10,360
They know what to target and how to respond. This week,
229
00:16:10,600 –> 00:16:14,240
the G seven sanctions coordinators will meet and we expect
230
00:16:14,279 –> 00:16:17,879
a systemic decision to ensure that the sanctions are truly effective.
231
00:16:18,600 –> 00:16:22,399
It is crucial to shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions,
232
00:16:22,759 –> 00:16:26,360
because Russia uses each one to keep killing. The world
233
00:16:26,440 –> 00:16:29,240
has the power to stop this. In the fourth year
234
00:16:29,320 –> 00:16:33,120
of the full scale war, Russia continues to obtain components
235
00:16:33,159 –> 00:16:37,639
for producing weapons. During the massive combined strike on Ukraine
236
00:16:37,639 –> 00:16:41,000
on the night of October fifth, Russia used five hundred
237
00:16:41,039 –> 00:16:45,080
and forty nine weapons systems containing one hundred and two thousand,
238
00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:49,600
seven hundred and eighty five foreign made components from companies
239
00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:55,559
in the United States, China, and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan,
240
00:16:55,879 –> 00:16:59,960

00:17:27,480 –> 00:17:30,640
criminal after the President allegedly said there is no more
249
00:17:30,720 –> 00:17:34,000
corruption in Nigeria while the President was speaking at an
250
00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:37,759
event in Brazil in the month of August twenty twenty five.
251
00:17:38,559 –> 00:17:43,359
According to Omilea Saware’s lawyer, to Temoken, today at the

00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:47,400
Federal High Court in Abuja, proceedings commenced in the historic

attempted censorship of Sirwar’s social media post calling the president
272
00:19:22,279 –> 00:19:26,240
a criminal mark a significant stand against both local repression
273
00:19:26,240 –> 00:19:31,480
and international collaboration in silencing dissenting voices. Sir War insists
274
00:19:31,519 –> 00:19:34,880
that no government agency or foreign corporation has the right
275
00:19:34,920 –> 00:19:39,440
to muzzle Nigerians in the digital space. Barrister Totemokin stated
276
00:19:39,519 –> 00:19:43,640
on September thirty, twenty twenty five, at a separate court
277
00:19:43,680 –> 00:19:46,960
where the Federal Government of Nigeria filed a five count
278
00:19:47,079 –> 00:19:51,440
charges against the news media publisher Amiel. Information from the
279
00:19:51,519 –> 00:19:54,880
Nigerian presidency has indicated that there is a plan by
280
00:19:54,920 –> 00:19:58,720
President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to begin legal action against the
281
00:19:58,720 –> 00:20:03,000
country former President good Luck of Belet Jonathan. Oversustained and
282
00:20:03,079 –> 00:20:06,960
continuous rumors in certain quarters that ex President Jonathan may
283
00:20:07,039 –> 00:20:11,160
have indicated interest to recontest as Nigeria president in twenty
284
00:20:11,200 –> 00:20:15,359
twenty seven. This the Special Advisor to President Bola armed
285
00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:19,920
Tanubu on Information and Strategy, BeO on Anugu, said Jonathan
286
00:20:20,160 –> 00:20:24,440
is welcome to join the twenty twenty seven presidential electoral race,
287
00:20:24,839 –> 00:20:27,119
but Jonathan will have his date in the court of
288
00:20:27,119 –> 00:20:30,960
the land. Indeed, the jury will determine whether Jonathan, who
289
00:20:31,039 –> 00:20:35,519
was sworn in twice as president, satisfies the constitutional requirements
290
00:20:35,519 –> 00:20:38,519
and is eligible to contest the presidency and be sworn
291
00:20:38,599 –> 00:20:42,640
in if successful for a third term in office. It
292
00:20:42,720 –> 00:20:45,559
would be recalled that ex President Jonathan was one of
293
00:20:45,559 –> 00:20:50,839
the most criticized presidents in Nigeria, with politicians including President
294
00:20:50,839 –> 00:20:53,599
Bola Hmed Tanubu, who was then a chieftain of the
295
00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:57,799
Action Congress of Nigeria ACN, forming a coalition of All
296
00:20:57,880 –> 00:21:04,119
Progressives Congress APC to defeat the incumbent president in twenty fifteen. Currently,
297
00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:07,920
there is also a coalition formed by politicians in Nigeria,
298
00:21:08,319 –> 00:21:12,799
the African Democratic Congress ADC, to defeat and remove President
299
00:21:12,839 –> 00:21:16,680
Tanubu from office in twenty twenty seven, and lately, reports
300
00:21:16,720 –> 00:21:20,400
indicated that the former President good Luck Jonathan is considering
301
00:21:20,519 –> 00:21:25,440
joining the African Democratic Congress ADC, but no official announcement
302
00:21:25,480 –> 00:21:29,640
has been made. The speculation intensified after Jonathan met with
303
00:21:29,720 –> 00:21:33,599
a d C national chairman, David Mark in late September
304
00:21:33,640 –> 00:21:37,799
twenty twenty five, amidst ongoing discussions about the twenty twenty
305
00:21:37,880 –> 00:21:42,759
seven presidential election and Jonathan’s closed door meeting with ad
306
00:21:42,839 –> 00:21:47,000
C leaders on September twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, fueled
307
00:21:47,039 –> 00:21:50,799
widespread speculation about his potential run for the presidency on
308
00:21:50,839 –> 00:21:55,559
their platform. In a statement issued on Monday, Bao on Anuga,
309
00:21:55,880 –> 00:22:00,319
the spokesperson to President Bola Ahmed Tanubu, said, as we
310
00:22:00,359 –> 00:22:04,079
begin the march towards the twenty twenty seven elections, prematurely
311
00:22:04,119 –> 00:22:07,440
foisted on the nation by the desperation of the opposition
312
00:22:07,559 –> 00:22:12,119
ganging up against President Bola Tanubu despite his glaring, giant
313
00:22:12,160 –> 00:22:15,839
economic strides, we are once again regaled with a cacophony
314
00:22:15,839 –> 00:22:18,680
of voices, most of them full of sound and fury,
315
00:22:19,039 –> 00:22:23,319
signifying nothing. To paraphrase inimitable William Shakespeare in one of
316
00:22:23,359 –> 00:22:28,079
his classic works, Macbeth. One recent statement that stands out
317
00:22:28,119 –> 00:22:32,359
in its absurdity is Professor Jerry Garners, the former Minister
318
00:22:32,440 –> 00:22:36,960
of Information and National Orientation, moving to draft former President
319
00:22:37,039 –> 00:22:40,440
good Luck Jonathan into the two thousand and seven presidential
320
00:22:40,519 –> 00:22:44,160
Information from the Nigerian presidency has indicated that there is
321
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:47,720
a plan by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to begin legal
322
00:22:47,799 –> 00:22:52,000
action against the country former President good Luck of Beallet Jonathan.
323
00:22:52,079 –> 00:22:56,200
Oversustained and continuous rumors in certain quarters that ex President
324
00:22:56,279 –> 00:23:00,640
Jonathan may have indicated interest to recontest as Nigeria president
325
00:23:00,680 –> 00:23:04,599
in twenty twenty seven. This the Special Advisor to President
326
00:23:04,640 –> 00:23:09,079
Bola Hmed Tanubu on Information and Strategy, BeO on Anugus,
327
00:23:09,119 –> 00:23:12,920
said Jonathan is welcome to join the twenty twenty seven
328
00:23:12,960 –> 00:23:16,599
presidential electoral race, but Jonathan will have his date in
329
00:23:16,640 –> 00:23:19,799
the Court of the Land. Indeed, the jury will determine
330
00:23:19,839 –> 00:23:23,680
whether Jonathan, who was sworn in twice as president, satisfies
331
00:23:23,720 –> 00:23:27,839
the constitutional requirements and is eligible to contest the presidency
332
00:23:27,880 –> 00:23:31,240
and be sworn in if successful for a third term
333
00:23:31,279 –> 00:23:35,000
in office. It would be recalled that ex President Jonathan
334
00:23:35,160 –> 00:23:38,599
was one of the most criticized presidents in Nigeria, with
335
00:23:38,720 –> 00:23:42,920
politicians including President Bola Ahmed Tanubu, who was then a
336
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:46,880
chieftain of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN, forming a
337
00:23:46,880 –> 00:23:51,200
coalition of All Progressives Congress APC to defeat the incumbent
338
00:23:51,240 –> 00:23:55,720
president in twenty fifteen. Currently, there is also a coalition
339
00:23:55,880 –> 00:24:00,920
formed by politicians in Nigeria, the African Democratic Congress ADC,
340
00:24:01,119 –> 00:24:04,559
to defeat and remove President Tanubu from office in twenty
341
00:24:04,640 –> 00:24:08,359
twenty seven, and lately, reports indicated that the former President
342
00:24:08,720 –> 00:24:13,640
good Luck Jonathan is considering joining the African Democratic Congress ADC,
343
00:24:14,079 –> 00:24:18,319
but no official announcement has been made. The speculation intensified
344
00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:22,599
after Jonathan met with ad C national Chairman David Mark
345
00:24:22,640 –> 00:24:27,000
in late September twenty twenty five, amidst ongoing discussions about

00:24:27,000 –> 00:24:31,759
the twenty twenty seven presidential election, and Jonathan’s closed door

meeting with ad C leaders on September twenty fifth, twenty
348
00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:39,880
twenty five, fueled widespread speculation about his potential run for
349
00:24:39,920 –> 00:24:44,279
the presidency on their platform. In a statement issued on Monday,

prematurely foisted on the nation by the desperation of the

00:24:56,880 –> 00:25:01,079
opposition ganging up against President Bola tanu Ubu, despite his
354
00:25:01,240 –> 00:25:05,160
glaring giant economic strides, we are once again regaled with
355
00:25:05,200 –> 00:25:08,160
a cacophony of voices, most of them full of sound
356
00:25:08,240 –> 00:25:13,000
and fury, signifying nothing. To paraphrase inimitable Williams Shakespeare in
357
00:25:13,039 –> 00:25:17,359
one of his classic works, Macbeth. One recent statement that
358
00:25:17,480 –> 00:25:21,519
stands out in its absurdity is Professor Jerry Garnas, the
359
00:25:21,640 –> 00:25:26,119
former Minister of Information and National Orientation, moving to draft
360
00:25:26,160 –> 00:25:29,359
former President good Luck Jonathan into the two thousand and
361
00:25:29,480 –> 00:25:34,680
seven presidential Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu on Friday stated
362
00:25:34,680 –> 00:25:37,359
that many world leaders who do come out publicly to
363
00:25:37,440 –> 00:25:41,519
condemn the Israel war in Gaza do privately thank Israel
364
00:25:41,599 –> 00:25:45,680
for staging the war against Tamas. And according to Benjamin Nataniahu,
365
00:25:45,920 –> 00:25:49,400
the world leaders tell me how much they value Israel’s
366
00:25:49,440 –> 00:25:53,680
superb intelligence services that have prevented time and again terrorist
367
00:25:53,680 –> 00:25:57,519
attacks in their capitals, time and again, saving countless lives.
368
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:03,119
General George Keegan, head of US Air Force Intelligence, once said,
369
00:26:03,440 –> 00:26:06,039
if the United States had to gather on its own
370
00:26:06,119 –> 00:26:09,200
the intelligence that Israel gives us, we would have to
371
00:26:09,319 –> 00:26:13,880
establish five sea hires, five Sea iires. This past June,
372
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:18,720
when Israel struck Around’s nuclear facilities, German Chancellor Mertz admitted
373
00:26:18,759 –> 00:26:22,640
the truth this Benjamin Natannah, who stated when the speech
374
00:26:22,799 –> 00:26:27,079
was being broadcast live via huge loudspeakers that were placed
375
00:26:27,119 –> 00:26:31,680
on the Gaza border. While the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Natannah,
376
00:26:31,680 –> 00:26:35,440
who was speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, which
377
00:26:35,720 –> 00:26:38,799
his appearance drew a mix of applause and protest, with
378
00:26:38,920 –> 00:26:41,319
some delegates walking out of the hall as he took
379
00:26:41,359 –> 00:26:44,559
the stage. You know deep down that Israel is fighting
380
00:26:44,640 –> 00:26:48,200
your fight. I want to tell you a secret behind
381
00:26:48,279 –> 00:26:51,799
closed doors, many of the leaders who publicly condemn us
382
00:26:52,119 –> 00:26:57,000
privately thank us. Benjamin Natanjah, who stated in response Prime
383
00:26:57,039 –> 00:27:00,759
Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who reiterated and blamed them Israel war
384
00:27:00,839 –> 00:27:04,759
in Gaza on Iran, saying iran terrra axis threatened the
385
00:27:04,759 –> 00:27:08,200
peace of the entire world. Some parts of the long
386
00:27:08,240 –> 00:27:12,200
speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo at the United Nations
387
00:27:12,240 –> 00:27:17,880
General Assembly are presented verbatim below. Mister President, the families
388
00:27:17,880 –> 00:27:21,119
of our dear hostages languishing in the dungeons of Gaza,
389
00:27:21,599 –> 00:27:25,359
Ladies and gentlemen. Last year, I stood at this podium
390
00:27:25,599 –> 00:27:28,680
and I showed this map. It shows the curse of
391
00:27:28,680 –> 00:27:32,400
Iran’s terror axis. This axis threatened the peace of the
392
00:27:32,599 –> 00:27:36,000
entire world. It threatened the stability of our region and
393
00:27:36,079 –> 00:27:40,279
the very existence of my country Israel. Iran was rapidly
394
00:27:40,279 –> 00:27:44,000
developing a massive nuclear weapons program and a massive ballistic
395
00:27:44,079 –> 00:27:48,240
missile program. These were meant not only to destroy Israel.
396
00:27:48,559 –> 00:27:51,160
They were meant also to threaten the United States and
397
00:27:51,200 –> 00:27:56,359
blackmail nations everywhere. From Gaza Yeya Sin were dispatched waves
398
00:27:56,400 –> 00:28:00,000
of ha mass terrorists. They stormed into Israel on October
399
00:28:00,240 –> 00:28:05,200
seventh and committed acts of unspeakable savagery. From Lebanon, Hassan
400
00:28:05,319 –> 00:28:09,119
Nasralla had launched thousands of missiles and rockets at our cities,
401
00:28:09,519 –> 00:28:14,799
terrorizing our citizens. In Syria, the murderous dictator Hassad hosted
402
00:28:14,799 –> 00:28:18,799
Iran’s forces titening a noose of death around our throats
403
00:28:19,359 –> 00:28:23,279
in Yemen. The Justice James Omaitosho of the Federal High Court,
404
00:28:23,400 –> 00:28:26,599
sitting in Abuja on Friday, rule that the detained Biafra
405
00:28:26,720 –> 00:28:31,039
agitation leader Namdi Kru has case to answer because the
406
00:28:31,119 –> 00:28:35,799
Nigeria Government prosecution team have provided some evidence that requires
407
00:28:35,880 –> 00:28:40,720
explanations from the detained Biafra leader. This the coordinating lawyer
408
00:28:40,759 –> 00:28:44,640
to Namdi Kanu, Barrister alloyergymccurse, said, the judgment of the
409
00:28:44,640 –> 00:28:48,799
court does not mean Namdi Kru has been pronounced guilty. Rather,
410
00:28:49,200 –> 00:28:53,119
the ruling indicated that he should give explanations to certain evidences.
411
00:28:53,200 –> 00:28:57,079
The Federal Government of Nigeria brought before the court, it
412
00:28:57,119 –> 00:28:59,400
would be recalled that the ruling on the no case
413
00:28:59,400 –> 00:29:02,799
submission filed by Namdi Karo that was earlier slated to
414
00:29:02,839 –> 00:29:06,279
be held on October tenth, twenty twenty five, was abridged
415
00:29:06,279 –> 00:29:09,759
and rescheduled to Friday, the twenty sixth of September twenty
416
00:29:09,799 –> 00:29:14,920
twenty five. Justice James Omatosha also rejected request by Karno
417
00:29:15,039 –> 00:29:18,000
to be transferred from custody of the Department of State
418
00:29:18,119 –> 00:29:22,559
Services DSS to the National Hospital, Abuja for medical examination
419
00:29:22,680 –> 00:29:27,440
over alleged deteriorating health issues. The court subsequently ordered the
420
00:29:27,440 –> 00:29:32,160
President of Nigerian Medical Association an MA to constitute an
421
00:29:32,160 –> 00:29:36,119
investigation committee to examine Karnu’s medical condition and submit a
422
00:29:36,160 –> 00:29:39,400
report to it in eight days following objection by DSS
423
00:29:39,440 –> 00:29:42,559
to his request to be transferred to National Hospital for
424
00:29:42,640 –> 00:29:46,440
second opinion on his health condition. We had earlier in
425
00:29:46,480 –> 00:29:49,359
the year reported that the case between the Federal Government
426
00:29:49,440 –> 00:29:52,519
of Nigeria and the detained leader of the Indigenous People
427
00:29:52,559 –> 00:29:56,559
of Biafra, Namdi Karo, apparently took a new technical twist
428
00:29:56,599 –> 00:29:59,359
after one of the lawyers of the detained Biafra leader
429
00:29:59,680 –> 00:30:03,880
for us Leerikoro sam presented and played three videos which
430
00:30:03,920 –> 00:30:07,880
the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja later admitted in evidence.
431
00:30:08,279 –> 00:30:12,079
The videos of former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, Retired
432
00:30:12,119 –> 00:30:17,480
General Theophilis Danjuma saying security operatives in the West Africa country,
433
00:30:17,759 –> 00:30:21,200
specifically the armed forces are working together with the armed
434
00:30:21,240 –> 00:30:25,559
bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing that if Nigerians depend on
435
00:30:25,680 –> 00:30:28,920
the armed forces to curb in security, they will all
436
00:30:29,000 –> 00:30:32,160
die one by one. Also that of Governor Hope whose
437
00:30:32,200 –> 00:30:36,400
odenbur of Imho State saying politicians are behind killings in
438
00:30:36,440 –> 00:30:39,920
the state. Lastly, in the most interesting video played at
439
00:30:39,960 –> 00:30:43,079
the court to counter the testimony or statement made by
440
00:30:43,119 –> 00:30:47,279
the DSS prosecutor witness over Nandi Kalu led Ipo be
441
00:30:47,480 –> 00:30:52,160
founding Eastern Security Network ESN, allegedly created by group of
442
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:56,559
youths in the Southeastern geopolitical zone of Nigeria often referred
443
00:30:56,640 –> 00:30:59,839
to as Biafra Land to fight in self defense against
444
00:31:00,039 –> 00:31:03,720
Ulani armed bandits or terrorists that were advancing and killing
445
00:31:03,799 –> 00:31:06,960
people in the Eastern State during the era of President
446
00:31:07,079 –> 00:31:10,359
Mohammadu Buhari. Was that of the Director General of that
447
00:31:10,480 –> 00:31:12,519
there is no doubt that this week may be an
448
00:31:12,519 –> 00:31:16,119
interesting week in the international community, as world leaders gather
449
00:31:16,200 –> 00:31:19,920
for the twenty twenty five United Nations General Assembly meeting
450
00:31:19,960 –> 00:31:23,519
to discuss and take a standover decades of conflicts between
451
00:31:23,640 –> 00:31:26,759
Israel and the people of Palestine, especially some of them
452
00:31:26,799 –> 00:31:31,119
well known as Hamas fighters, over territorial integrity and sovereignty,
453
00:31:31,599 –> 00:31:35,200
most especially ever since the State of Palestine was officially
454
00:31:35,240 –> 00:31:40,279
declared by the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO on the fifteenth
455
00:31:40,319 –> 00:31:44,319
of November nineteen eighty eight, claiming sovereignty over the West Bank,
456
00:31:44,720 –> 00:31:48,279
which includes East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and as
457
00:31:48,319 –> 00:31:51,319
at the end of nineteen eighty eight, over seventy eight
458
00:31:51,440 –> 00:31:56,480
countries approved the declaration, including Nigeria, that recognized Palestinian state
459
00:31:56,559 –> 00:32:00,920
barely three days after the declaration on November eighteenth, nineteen
460
00:32:01,000 –> 00:32:04,759
eighty eight, and the numbers have been increasing, particularly since
461
00:32:04,839 –> 00:32:08,519
the beginning of twenty twenty four like never before. As
462
00:32:08,559 –> 00:32:12,559
at September twenty first, twenty twenty five, over one hundred
463
00:32:12,599 –> 00:32:15,319
and fifty one countries out of the one hundred and
464
00:32:15,440 –> 00:32:20,200
ninety three United Nations members have recognized the Palestinian State,
465
00:32:20,359 –> 00:32:24,599
including United Kingdom UK, which its recognition appears to be
466
00:32:24,680 –> 00:32:28,200
