There is still no peace in sight after
0:02
nearly 3 hours of meeting held in
0:04
Anchorage City in Alaska, a state in the
0:07
United States, US between President
0:10
Vladimir Putin of Russia and President
0:12
Donald Trump of the United States over
0:14
the war Russia launched since 2022 in
0:17
Ukraine which has led to thousands of
0:19
deaths mostly Ukrainians which President
0:22
Vladimir Zalinski of Ukraine who was not
0:25
invited for the meeting on Friday in a
0:27
statement said that it was time to end
0:29
the war, but Russia must take the
0:31
necessary steps to a genuine peace deal.
0:34
And while commenting on the statement
0:35
made by the president of Poland, Carol
0:38
Navoki, on Friday via exocial media
0:41
platform to mark Poland Armed Forces
0:43
Day, which coincided with the day Putin
0:45
and Trump met in Alaska, President
0:48
Zalinski said that Ukraine's
0:50
independence strengthens Poland's
0:52
independence. And we must always
0:53
remember that the miracle on the Vistula
0:56
was made possible through joint efforts
0:58
and it saved Europe and the Polish
1:00
president Carol Navoki had said that.
1:03
Today we celebrate the 105th anniversary
1:06
of the great Polish victory at the
1:08
battle of Warsaw in 1920. The Polish
1:11
army together with Ukrainian forces
1:13
successfully repelled the Red Army's
1:15
westward march safeguarding Europe from
1:18
a communist revolution. For centuries,
1:20
Russian imperialism has been a mortal
1:22
threat to our freedom. Poland's
1:25
political tradition teaches that Russian
1:27
expansionism rests on a legacy of
1:29
domestic desperatism in which the only
1:32
free man is the ruler himself, but
1:34
precisely because Russian desperatism is
1:36
the enemy of freedom. Russian
1:38
imperialism can only be defeated through
1:40
an alliance of free peoples. My nation
1:43
halted Russian imperialism at Osha 1514.
1:52
It was probably a sinister of world
1:54
attention when Air Force One and Russia
1:57
presidential aircraft officially wheeled
1:59
down a joint base Elundorf as President
2:02
Donald Trump and President Vladimir
2:04
Putin met face-toface for the first time
2:06
since the war in Ukraine started on
2:08
February 24th, 2022. And the Friday
2:12
meeting marked the first time President
2:14
Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on
2:16
Western country soil since he launched
2:18
the war against Ukraine. He was able to
2:21
meet Trump in Alaska because the US is
2:24
not a member country of the
2:25
International Criminal Court IC that
2:28
issued a warrant of arrest against the
2:30
Kremlin leader since 2023 over alleged
2:33
war crime in Ukraine. It would be
2:35
recalled that the Russian president
2:37
Vladimir Putin did not attend the 2025
2:40
annual Brazil, Russia, India, China, and
2:44
South Africa summit known as BRICS
2:46
summit in Brazil due to concerns over an
2:49
international criminal court warrant for
2:51
his arrest in connection with alleged
2:52
war crimes committed in Ukraine.
2:55
According to the Kremlin aid Yuri
2:57
Ashikov, President Vladimir Putin did
3:00
not attend the summit due to certain
3:02
difficulties in the context of the ICC
3:05
requirement. Adding in that context, the
3:08
Brazilian government could not take a
3:10
clear position that would allow our
3:12
president to participate in this
3:14
meeting. Instead, the Russian leader
3:16
joined his BRICS colleagues via video
3:18
link. Putin was declared a war crimes
3:21
suspect since the ICC named him in a
3:24
March 2023 arrest warrant over the mass
3:27
deportation of Ukrainian children.
3:30
Co-contestants in the last concluded
3:32
general elections in Nigeria and former
3:34
governor of an amber state. Peter Obi
3:37
has faulted President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
3:39
trip to Brazil and also condemned the
3:41
president frequent travel abroad at any
3:44
slightest invitation and abandoned
3:46
pressing issues of insecurity and other
3:48
deplorable situations that make the
3:50
nation bleeds. Specifically, Peter Obi
3:53
said, "The situation we find ourselves
3:55
in is deeply worrisome. Our president,
3:58
who has not found it worthy to visit any
4:00
of our troubled states, takes joy in
4:03
traveling to foreign countries at the
4:05
slightest invitation or excuse, often
4:07
departing several days, even before the
4:09
events he's invited to. The presidency
4:12
had in a statement on Wednesday said
4:14
that President Bolanu will depart Abuja
4:17
on Thursday, August 14th for a
4:20
two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil. The
4:23
president will stop over in Dubai,
4:25
United Arab Emirates before proceeding
4:28
to Japan. In Japan, President Tonubu
4:31
will attend the 9th Tokyo International
4:33
Conference on African Development,
4:37
in the city of Yokohama from August 20th
4:40
to 22 with the theme co-create
4:43
innovative solutions with Africa. TICAD9
4:47
will focus on Africa's economic
4:49
transformation and improvements in the
4:50
business environment and institutions
4:52
through private investment and
4:54
innovation. It will also promote a
4:57
resilient and sustainable African
4:59
society for human security, peace and
5:02
stability. In addition to attending
5:04
plenary sessions on themes linked to the
5:07
conference, the Nigerian president will
5:09
hold bilateral meetings and meet the
5:11
chief executive offices of some Japanese
5:13
companies with investments in Nigeria.
5:16
Initiated in 1993 by the Japanese
5:19
government and co-hosted by the United
5:21
Nations, UNDP, the African Union
5:25
Commission and the World Bank TICAD is a
5:28
trienal conference held alternately in
5:30
Japan and Africa. The last one took
5:33
place in August 2022 in Tunisia. The
5:37
forum fosters high level policy dialogue
5:40
between African leaders and development
5:42
partners. At the end of the TICAD9,
5:46
President Tonubu will leave for
5:48
Brazilia, the capital of the Federated
5:50
Republic of Brazil on a two-day state
5:52
visit from Sunday, August 24th to
5:55
Monday, August 25th. This follows an
5:58
invitation by the Brazilian president
6:01
Luis Anatio Lula Dar Silva. While in
6:04
Brazil, President Tonubu will hold a
6:06
bilateral meeting with his host and
6:08
attend a business forum with Brazilian
6:10
investors. His delegation comprising key
6:14
ministers and senior officials will
6:16
explore opportunities to strengthen
6:18
cooperation and sign agreements and
6:20
memorand of understanding mouse with the
6:23
Brazilian government. Beo Onuga, special
6:26
adviser to the president on information
6:28
and strategy stated on August 13th,
6:32
Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential
6:35
candidate in the last concluded general
6:37
elections in the West Africa country in
6:39
a statement on Thursday said, "Again,
6:42
our president moves as the nation
6:44
bleeds. Amid the deplorable state of our
6:47
nation in all ramifications, we have a
6:50
virtually indifferent president who has
6:52
continued to display insensitivity to
6:54
our situation. How can anyone explain
6:57
that a president who came from Brazil
6:59
recently and met federal government of
7:01
Nigeria under the leadership of
7:03
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu has ordered
7:05
the commissioner of police in charge of
7:07
Lagos airport to withdraw the one-sided
7:10
and obviously biased court case the
7:12
Nigeria police force may have wrongly
7:14
instituted against an Ibomb Air
7:16
passenger comfort eman who was seen in
7:18
viral videos retaliating and defending
7:21
herself physically after a group of
7:23
Ibomb air personnel and Lagos OS airport
7:26
team had attacked her and provoked her
7:28
to action. The FG position on the issue
7:30
was made known by the Nigeria Minister
7:33
of Aviation Fesus Cayamo in a press
7:36
release the minister signed and made
7:38
available few minutes ago. Although
7:40
Fesus Cayamo reversed himself and
7:42
acknowledged that the issue was a case
7:44
of confrontation between the 26 years
7:47
old passenger and the staff of Ibomb
7:49
Airlines who in the new press release
7:52
admitted that the staff of Ibomb Air and
7:54
the Lagos airport authority team acted
7:56
wrongly. But the minister did not state
7:59
how the attacked passenger would be
8:01
compensated most, especially when her
8:03
chest sexual organs were seems to be
8:05
deliberately exposed after a suspected
8:08
Ibomb Airlines staff pulled off and tore
8:10
the passenger shirt with obvious
8:12
intention to expose the passenger's
8:14
nakedness. The action of the federal
8:16
government may ease the tension among
8:18
millions of people who have accused the
8:21
Nigeria police force of aiding and
8:23
abetting the Ibomb airline company to
8:25
continue to attack and oppress the
8:27
offended passenger. Comfort Bob who is
8:30
also identified as Comfort Eman by thus
8:33
supporting the statement of Ibomb Air
8:35
Management who in their first press
8:37
release made statement that seems to
8:39
have some level of deliberate falsehood
8:41
and raising up a dead issue to win undue
8:44
public sentiments manipulate the Nigeria
8:47
police force to help them secure
8:49
detention holding charge from the Lagos
8:51
State Magistrate Court to further
8:53
oppress and intimidate the attacked
8:55
passenger. Specifically, Ibombair stated
8:58
in her first press release that shortly
9:00
after the plane landed at Lagos airport.
9:03
The passenger waited for every other
9:04
passenger on board the plane to
9:06
disembark and thereafter, without
9:08
provocation, went to one of the plane
9:10
hostesses, Juliana Edward the Ibomb, air
9:13
management described as Perser, stepped
9:16
on her, forcibly tore off her wig,
9:18
removed her glasses, and threw it to the
9:20
floor, and used her footwear to assault
9:23
her. She slapped her several times and
9:25
when the other cabin crew member tried
9:27
to intervene, she slapped her too. She
9:30
then attempted to forcibly remove a fire
9:32
extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act
9:35
that could have damaged and grounded the
9:37
aircraft. Soon after the Ibomb Air
9:39
Management released the statement on
9:41
Monday, a video surfaced on the internet
9:43
that probably invalidated the statement
9:46
of the Ibomb Air Management and stood
9:48
out as an acceptable evidence that the
9:50
management of Ibomb are people who may
9:52
be rightly described as pathological
9:54
liars who probably believed in telling
9:57
lies as a way of managing crisis and
9:59
handling difficult customers relations.
10:02
As seen in the viral video that surfaced
10:04
the internet after the apparent
10:06
falsehood of Ibomb Air Management, the
10:08
attacked passenger was seen politely
10:10
telling the air hostess Juliana Edward
10:13
to leave the doorway so that she can
10:14
disembark from the plane. The senior
10:16
aggressor in this matter. The air
10:18
hostess Juliana Edward refused to yield
10:21
to the appeal of the passenger and Ibomb
10:23
Air Management in their first press
10:25
release confirmed that the air hostess
10:27
Juliana Edward deliberately blocked the
10:29
door. N bringing you the news in a more
