US releases AI video showing how it could storm Nigeria to wipe out ‘Islamic terrorists.

The United States Department of War has sparked global attention after releasing an artificial intelligence (AI) video simulating military action in Nigeria aimed at eliminating “Islamic terrorists.”

The announcement comes amid claims of targeted attacks against Christians in Africa’s most populous nation.

Trump Warns of Possible Military Action
President Donald Trump stated that he had instructed the US Department of War to prepare for potential “fast” military intervention in Nigeria.

The warning emphasized that action may be taken if the Nigerian government fails to address what Trump described as the ongoing killing of Christians in the country.

AI Video Sparks Controversy

The video, generated using AI, depicts a simulated military operation in Nigeria.

It was shared on social media by Dominik Tarczyński, a member of the European Parliament, who wrote: “Nigerian Christians will be rescued very soon!”

The clip quickly went viral, drawing both concern and criticism from observers worldwide.

Background: Religious Tensions in Nigeria
Nigeria, home to over 200 million people and roughly 200 ethnic groups, remains deeply divided along religious lines.

“I can buy a private jet if I want to, but I have other important priorities,” Don Jazzy says as he urges youths to invest wisely.

Veteran music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has advised young Nigerians to prioritize self-development and the acquisition of practical skills in today’s fast-changing world driven by technology and artificial intelligence.

Speaking in a recent video shared online, the music mogul revealed that despite being financially capable of acquiring luxury assets such as exotic cars or private jets, he chooses instead to focus on more meaningful investments particularly in himself.

“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car that I want to buy, or even a private jet,” Don Jazzy said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment, including investing in yourself and acquiring knowledge that you can charge people for.”

Elon Musk Leaves Cubana Chiefpriest, 30BG Members & Others in the Shadows as He Becomes First Person to Hit $500 Billion Net Worth.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made history by becoming the first individual to achieve a net worth of half a trillion dollars, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires index.

As of 4:15 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Musk’s fortune stood at $500.1 billion, fueled by a rebound in Tesla shares and soaring valuations of his other ventures, including SpaceX and artificial intelligence startup xAI.

Musk, who holds more than a 12% stake in Tesla, saw his wealth jump by over $6 billion on Wednesday alone after the electric carmaker’s stock closed 3.3% higher. The company’s shares have gained more than 14% so far this year, despite ongoing concerns over weak sales and profit margins.

Investor sentiment has improved in recent weeks as Musk renewed his focus on Tesla following months of political activity in Washington. He also boosted confidence by purchasing about $1 billion worth of Tesla shares in September, signaling his long-term commitment as the company pivots from being just an automaker to a leader in AI and robotics.

Tesla’s board has even proposed a $1 trillion compensation plan for Musk, tying ambitious financial and operational targets to his demand for a larger ownership stake.

Beyond Tesla, Musk’s other companies have significantly boosted his net worth. SpaceX was valued at about $400 billion in recent insider share sales, while xAI has been pegged at around $75 billion, with reports suggesting it could climb to $200 billion.

Trailing Musk on the Forbes rich list is Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, whose net worth stands at $350.7 billion.

French Woman Scammed of £700,000 by AI Impersonating Brad Pitt, Turns Ordeal Into Book

According to Vanguard, Anne Deneuchatel, a 53-year-old French interior designer, was defrauded of more than £700,000 by Nigerian scammers who used artificial intelligence to impersonate Hollywood actor Brad Pitt. She has since chronicled her traumatic experience in a new book titled Je ne serai plus une proie (I Will No Longer Be a Prey).

In her memoir, Deneuchatel recounts how the scam began with a message on Instagram from someone claiming to be Brad Pitt’s mother. Shortly afterward, she was introduced to an AI-generated version of the actor via Telegram. Lonely and trapped in what she described as a loveless marriage to a “selfish and manipulative millionaire businessman,” she quickly developed a strong emotional bond with the fake “Brad.”

The impostors exploited her vulnerability, gradually persuading her to send money under various pretexts. Reflecting on her state of mind at the time, Deneuchatel told Le Monde:

“My husband had put me in a bind. He said I should be content to be a trophy. I no longer had any independence. At one point, it seemed easier to help ‘Brad’ than to help myself.”


Over time, her savings were wiped out. The breaking point came when the fraudster demanded £13,000 for a supposed private jet trip. Feeling emotionally drained and alone, she finally reported the scam to the police.

Despite the devastating financial loss, Deneuchatel said the experience had one unexpected outcome: the collapse of her toxic marriage. “It’s the only positive thing to come out of the scam,” she admitted.

Today, she shares her story as a warning against online fraud, emphasizing the psychological manipulation behind such scams and the ease with which technology can be weaponized to exploit human emotions.

Lagos deputy governor donates ICT centre to alma mater for birthday.

Lagos Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, on Friday donated an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre to his alma mater, Odo Abore Primary School, Iyalla Street, Mushin, to mark his 61st birthday.

Hamzat had previously promised the donation during the school’s 80th anniversary celebration, citing the pivotal role ICT played in his education and career development.

At the handover ceremony, he praised the school for producing high-achieving students and urged parents to encourage children to acquire digital skills.

He emphasized the importance of technology and artificial intelligence, noting that students must adapt to compete globally.

He also assured plans to build another ICT centre in Odi-Olowo LCDA.

A member of the House of Representatives, Toyin Fayinka, commended Hamzat for giving back to his community, urging pupils and teachers to make full use of the facility.

A political leader in Mushin, Ganiyu Solomon, said it is a privilege that Mushin has an ICT centre at Odo Abore Primary School.

“Hamzat said whatever he does must be from home. He has done this, and we appreciate it.”

Solomon urged the pupils and the teachers to make good use of the ICT centre.

He assured the Deputy Governor of ensuring the centre would be used for the purpose of training pupils to acquire technological skills.

Social Media Is “Bad for Our Brains,” — Author Chimamanda Adichie Warns.

Renowned Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has voiced concerns about the growing dominance of social media, stressing that it can never replace the value of literature.

Speaking on the impact of digital culture, Adichie argued that while literature expands focus and deepens thought, social media does the opposite by rewiring the brain and weakening people’s ability to concentrate.

“The thing social media can never do for us that literature does for us… it’s actually quite bad for our brains. It’s rewiring our brains and compressing our ability to focus. Literature does the opposite,” she said.

The award-winning novelist acknowledged that some people will always read, but expressed worry that fewer individuals today seem to care deeply about literature. She urged for renewed efforts to preserve the culture of reading despite the distractions of the digital age.

Adichie further criticized society’s uncritical embrace of new technologies such as social media and artificial intelligence, stressing that these developments must be questioned rather than blindly accepted.

“There is a kind of unquestioning acceptance of social technologies that surprises me. We should question more social media, AI. The few people deciding how our future as human beings should be is troubling. This is the time to question AI, because we haven’t even reached a global consensus on what it is supposed to do,” she warned.

Highlighting the potential risks, Adichie noted that while AI holds vast possibilities, it also poses dangers that could lead to disaster if not carefully managed.

Meta Unveils Next-Gen AI Glasses With Built-In Displays

Meta has expanded its smart eyewear lineup, unveiling new Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses that integrate artificial intelligence and augmented reality features, as the company continues its push toward the metaverse.

At the annual Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Ray-Ban Display, billed as the company’s most advanced AI glasses yet. The device features built-in screens that project messages, photos, and apps directly into the wearer’s field of vision. It is paired with “neural bands” — sensor-equipped wristbands that allow users to control the glasses with subtle hand and finger gestures. The glasses will retail at $799.

“Our goal is to build great-looking glasses that deliver personal superintelligence and a feeling of presence using realistic holograms,” Zuckerberg said, describing AI glasses as the “next major computing platform” set to replace smartphones.

Meta also launched Oakley Meta Vanguard, performance-focused smart glasses designed for sports and fitness. Priced at $499, they include an action-ready camera, fitness app integration, and immersive audio.

Meanwhile, updated Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses — starting at $379 — expand on Meta’s partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley. The glasses, already the world’s best-selling AI eyewear, now feature real-time translation, hands-free cameras, and AI-powered digital assistant functions.

Despite these innovations, Meta’s Reality Labs division continues to operate at a loss. It posted a $4.5 billion loss in Q2 2025 on revenues of just $370 million. Analysts say the push into AI eyewear is less about short-term profits and more about positioning Meta to break free from reliance on Apple and Google’s smartphone ecosystems.

The global smart glasses market, valued at nearly $2 billion in 2024, is projected to grow more than fourfold by the end of the decade, according to Grand View Research.

“AI glasses connect us to real-world superpowers as we move throughout the day, tapping into a wealth of information while staying present in the moment,” Meta said in a statement.

Emir Sanusi: Nigeria Still Debating Tribe, Religion While Others Discuss AI, Climate Change

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has criticized Nigeria’s political leadership and societal focus, saying the country remains stuck in divisive debates on tribe and religion while the rest of the world addresses pressing global issues such as artificial intelligence and climate change.

Speaking on Saturday at the second Kano International Poetry Festival (KAPFEST), organized by the Poetic Wednesdays Initiative, Sanusi said Nigeria has suffered from “lousy leadership” for decades.

“You rise and fall with the quality of your leadership and Nigeria has had lousy leadership for a long time,” the emir said. “While other countries are discussing climate change and artificial intelligence, we are still talking about Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, North, South, Muslim, Christian — the same conversations we had in the 1960s.”

He urged Nigerian youths to take charge of the nation’s future, insisting they have the power to retire the current political class. Sanusi also warned that reckless borrowing and wasteful spending by government would have dire consequences for the country’s economy.

The festival, themed “Poetry in a Time of Crisis,” was aimed at encouraging poets and artists to use creativity as a tool for peace and advocacy in Northern Nigeria.

Albania Appoints AI-Powered ‘Minister’ to Fight Corruption.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced Thursday the appointment of what he described as the world’s first artificial intelligence–generated government minister, tasked with managing public tenders in a bid to eliminate corruption.

Unveiling his new cabinet after a decisive victory in May’s elections, Rama introduced the AI “member,” named Diella—meaning “sun” in Albanian.

“Diella is the first government member who is not physically present, but virtually created by artificial intelligence,” Rama said. He added that Diella would oversee all public tender decisions, ensuring they are “100 percent corruption-free” and fully transparent.

Originally launched in January as an AI-powered assistant, Diella was designed to help citizens navigate Albania’s e-Albania platform, which provides access to official documents and digital services. 

Since its rollout, it has processed more than 36,000 digital documents and facilitated nearly 1,000 services, according to government data. The AI is represented visually as a woman in traditional Albanian attire.

Rama, who is beginning his fourth term as prime minister, is expected to present his new cabinet to parliament in the coming days. 

He emphasized that combating corruption in public administration remains central to Albania’s push to join the European Union, with hopes of achieving membership by 2030.

Shettima Hails Tinubu’s Bold Economic Reforms, Urges Africa to Embrace Structural Transformation

Vice President Kashim Shettima has praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for demonstrating “uncommon political will” in implementing bold reforms to tackle Nigeria’s economic challenges.

Speaking at the 66th Annual Conference of the Nigerian Economic Society (NES) in Abuja, Shettima described Tinubu as a leader with a listening ear whose approach continues to inspire hope amid economic hardship.

“Nigeria is not exempt from Africa’s economic tragedies. But our silver lining is the listening ear of President Tinubu. Under his leadership, this administration has embarked on bold and inevitable reforms to address structural weaknesses that others only paid lip service to.
These reforms are painful but necessary—like surgery that cures a malignant disease. The wounds are temporary, but the recovery is permanent,” Shettima said.

The Vice President acknowledged the hardship accompanying the reforms, alongside global economic pressures, but stressed that the government has introduced investment-friendly policies and social protection programmes in key sectors like transportation, healthcare, and education to cushion vulnerable citizens.

He further emphasized the need for Africa to embrace the knowledge economy and structural transformation to combat poverty and unemployment:

“We live in a world where a citizen in Daura can offer services to a corporation in Dallas without leaving his bedroom. To catch up, Africa must reinvent its human capital and reverse unemployment. Poverty must be confronted head-on if this continent’s promise is to be realized.”



Shettima also noted that global challenges such as supply chain disruptions, energy transition, and artificial intelligence, though often seen as threats, present opportunities for Africa’s economic renewal.

Other Highlights from the Conference

Abubakar Bagudu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, pledged to integrate NES into government programmes like the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme.

Alhaji Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, described the livestock sector as “Nigeria’s next crude oil” and promised collaboration with NES on diversification.

Prof. Adeola Adenikinju, NES President, reaffirmed the society’s commitment to bridging research and policy.

Dr. Eric Kehinde Ogunleye of the African Development Bank urged greater investment in people alongside reforms.


The event was attended by senior government officials, academics, lawmakers, and representatives from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has defended President Bola Tinubu over his recent comment on the value of the Naira, insisting that the President was not lying.

Tribune Online reports that President Tinubu had claimed that the Naira had stabilised under his administration, moving from about ₦1,900/$ when he assumed office to the current ₦1,450/$.

“The economy has stabilised, nobody is trading a piece of paper for an exchange rate anymore. When I took over, it was ₦1,900 to a dollar. It’s ₦1,450 now. It’s been stabilising there. You don’t have to know Cardoso before you get your foreign exchange,” Tinubu said.

Reacting in a post on his verified X handle, Omokri cautioned a user identified as “Emir” against hastily branding the President a “liar,” arguing that Tinubu’s remark was rooted in facts.

He explained that before Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29, 2023, Nigeria was spending about $1.5 billion monthly to subsidise the Naira even more than the petrol subsidy at the time.

Omokri noted that while the official exchange rate under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari stood at about ₦400/$, the “real unsubsidised value” of the currency was closer to ₦2,000/$.

He wrote: “Please fact-check me: Before President Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, 2023, Nigeria spent $1.5 billion monthly to subsidise the Naira. The naira subsidy was actually higher than the subsidy on petrol.

“Whereas under General Buhari, you were buying the Dollar at the rate of about ₦400 to $1, the real exchange rate without the subsidy was about ₦2000 to $1.

“You may recall that when President Tinubu first floated the Naira, it suddenly fell to ₦1900 to $1.

“The reason it fell to that price was because that was the actual value of our currency.

“President Bola Tinubu was referring to that unsubsidised amount, which was the real value of the Naira.

The former presidential aide added that critics should verify facts before accusing Tinubu of dishonesty, suggesting that tools such as artificial intelligence could confirm the accuracy of the President’s claim.

Omokri also stressed that while political differences may exist, it was unfair to label the President a liar without proper fact-checking.

“He was not lying, and you can verify this with an AI like Grok.

“I understand that some of us may have political disagreements with the President, but perhaps you and I can conduct cursory research before labelling him a ‘congenital liar’”, he concluded.

Africa Can’t Afford To Be Bystanders In Tech Advancement – Amina Mohammed

UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has warned that Africa must be proactive in shaping the use of emerging technologies, stressing that the continent cannot afford to remain passive.

Speaking at the 2025 Africa Chiefs of Defence Staff Summit in Abuja, she noted that insurgent groups were exploiting digital tools and improvised devices to fuel terrorism, while technology was also being misused to spread hate, manipulate elections, and undermine democracy.

Mohammed highlighted that artificial intelligence could equally provide solutions—such as predicting displacement, tackling food insecurity, and detecting landmines—but cautioned that its risks must be managed.

She urged stronger regional cooperation among African nations, warning that division gives adversaries their greatest advantage.

Insecurity: Africa Must Invest In Indigenous Military Innovations – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged African nations to adopt home-grown solutions to tackle security challenges, stressing that the continent cannot remain a consumer of military technology.

Speaking at the 2025 African Chiefs of Defence Staff Summit in Abuja, Shettima called for investments in cyber-defence, artificial intelligence, and indigenous military innovations. He said insecurity—ranging from terrorism and insurgency to piracy, cybercrime, and transnational crime—requires coordinated strategies and shared intelligence across borders.

Shettima also pushed for a new doctrine of continental defence rooted in trust, cooperation, and interoperability, while urging the private sector to invest in Africa’s defence future.
