We all know those GLP1 injections work

wonders, but that price tag almost gave
0:05
me a heart attack when my insurance
0:06
denied coverage. I was staring at a
0:09
choice between paying my mortgage or
0:11
paying for weight loss. Talk about a

rock in a hard place. Then I found

Elevate Health compounded semiglutide at

just $58 with payment plans that don't

that real folks can actually afford.

Justice James Amatosho of the Federal
0:42
High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday
0:44
ruled that the detained Bafra agitation
0:46
leader Nambi Kanu has case to answer
0:50
because the Nigeria government
0:51
prosecution team have provided some
0:53
evidence that requires explanations from
0:56
the detained Bafra leader. This the
0:59
coordinating lawyer to Nambi Kanu
1:01
Barrister A lawyer Mccor said the
1:03
judgment of the court does not mean
1:04
Nambdi Kanu has been pronounced guilty
1:07
rather the ruling indicated that he
1:10
should give explanations to certain
1:11
evidences the federal government of
1:13
Nigeria brought before the court. It
1:16
would be recalled that the ruling on the
1:18
no case submission filed by Nami Carano
1:20
that was earlier slated to be held on
1:22
October 10th, 2025 was abridged and
1:25
rescheduled to Friday the 26th of
1:30
Justice James also rejected request by
1:34
Caro to be transferred from custody of
1:36
the Department of State Services, the SS
1:39
to the National Hospital Abuja for
1:40
medical examination over alleged
1:42
deteriorating health issues. The court
1:45
subsequently ordered the president of
1:47
Nigerian Medical Association NMA to
1:50
constitute an investigation committee to
1:52
examine Kanu's medical condition and
1:55
submit a report to it in 8 days
1:57
following objection by DSS to his
1:59
request to be transferred to National
2:01
Hospital for second opinion on his
2:03
health condition. We had earlier in the
2:06
year reported that the case between the
2:08
federal government of Nigeria and the
2:09
detained leader of the indigenous people
2:11
of Bafrae Nambi Kanu apparently took a
2:14
new technical twist after one of the
2:16
lawyers of the detained Bafra leader
2:19
Paul Ericoro San presented and played
2:22
three videos which the federal high
2:24
court sitting in Abuja later admitted in
2:26
evidence. the videos of former Nigeria
2:29
chief of army staff retired General
2:31
Theophilus Danjuma saying security
2:34
operatives in the West Africa country
2:37
specifically the armed forces are
2:39
working together with the armed bandits
2:41
to kill Nigerians stressing that if
2:43
Nigerians depend on the armed forces to
2:46
curb insecurity they will all die one by
2:49
one also that of Governor Hope Wenmer of
2:52
Imho state saying politicians are behind
2:55
killings in the state lastly in The most
2:57
interesting video played at the court to
3:00
counter the testimony or statement made
3:02
by the DSS prosecutor witness over
3:04
Nambdi Caru led IPOB founding eastern
3:07
security network ESN allegedly created
3:10
by group of youths in the southeastern
3:12
geopolitical zone of Nigeria often
3:15
referred to as Bafra land to fight in
3:18
self-defense against fani armed bandits
3:20
or terrorists that were advancing and
3:22
killing people in the eastern state
3:24
during the era of President Muhammadu.
3:27
Buhari was that of the director general
3:29
of the department of state services DSS
3:32
Adola who is apparently the government
3:35
chief complainer in the case and the
3:37
DSSDG in the video recorded and
3:40
published by Symphony News Media in
3:42
February 2025 narrated how youths of the
3:46
Zare community in Katagum local
3:48
government area and Tfawa Blewa
3:51
community of Tfawa Blewa local
3:53
government area in Baoi state when the
3:55
DSSDG G was the state director of state
3:58
security services SSS resorted to
4:02
self-help and killed all Boohh Haram
4:04
terrorists that came to attack them
4:06
without depending on the security
4:08
operatives. According to the DSSDG when
4:11
Boohh Haram terrorists invaded Aar
4:13
community they started shooting and
4:15
killing people. Then the youths went
4:17
after the Boohh Haram terrorists and
4:19
killed all of them. Even when one of the
4:22
Booh Haram terrorists named Khaled
4:24
climbed a tree and started firing
4:26
gunshots from the tree towards the
4:28
people who were on the lower ground, the
4:30
Azar people resisted and went after him
4:33
and subsequently killed him. Although
4:35
the federal government prosecution
4:37
witness identified as BBB who is a DSS
4:40
operative stated that the ESN is an
4:43
illegal organization because there is no
4:45
approval of government given to the
4:47
people of southeast to establish such a
4:49
self-help group to defend their land
4:51
against terrorists unlike a Motech and
4:54
security network in the southwest states
4:56
that was approved and permitted by the
4:58
government. also claiming his boss, the
5:01
DSSDG in the video, was asking
5:03
communities to build the first line of
5:05
defense by thus working with security
5:08
operatives. But a careful and detailed
5:11
study of the DSSDG speech in the video
5:13
shows that the FG witness BBB probably
5:16
talked off points totally offkey from
5:19
the original intent and intention of Mr.
5:21
Adola Aayi, the DSSDG teachings and
5:24
advice in the video who had said the
5:26
Azar community people acted in quick
5:29
response to an emergency situation. And
5:31
the story line indicated that the people
5:33
of Azare prepared themselves in advance
5:36
likely purchasing and acquiring firearms
5:38
equivalent to AK-47 riffles to be able
5:42
to face and kill all the booco haram
5:44
terrorists that invaded the community as
5:46
narrated by the DSSDG. And if true, the
5:50
DSSDG, the chief complainer, must also
5:53
be ordered to appear before the court as
5:55
a defender in the case to present a
5:57
certified true copy of government
5:59
approval given to Azar people to defend
6:01
themselves or prove beyond reasonable
6:04
doubts how the people of Azare community
6:06
were able to kill merely with the bare
6:09
hands all the Booh Haram terrorists that
6:11
invaded their community with high
6:13
precision weapons of mass destructions.
6:15
In addition, the DSSDG in the video
6:18
probably advocated for the need for all
6:21
individuals in Nigeria to have a gun
6:24
because he gave an example of a visit to
6:26
the United States of America, USA. When
6:29
his host in the US heard a police siren
6:32
sound, he quickly brought out his gun
6:34
and said if the criminal chased after by
6:37
the US police ran into his apartment, he
6:40
would use the gun to kill the criminal
6:42
suspect. And that not all. The DSSDG in
6:45
the video also recalled and referenced
6:47
the words of Nigeria former head of
6:49
state retired General Ibrahim Badamasi
6:52
Babingida that if insecurity must end in
6:54
Nigeria, Nigerians must be ready to
6:57
resort to self-help like the people of
7:01
The ruling is simply uh it simply
7:03
requires Mazano the defendant to enter
7:06
his defense. It's not a pronunciation of
7:09
guilt or not guilty. So that is why it's
7:12
called a no case submission. So the
7:14
judge made a ruling that there's a
7:15
primary fier evidence that needs to be
7:18
explained. So in common paralance is for
7:20
it cause on him to come and mount his
7:23
own defense. But there is the other
7:25
aspect of the ruling that concerned
7:27
extraordinary rendition. That very one
7:30
is one that compounded us because the
7:33
extraordinary rendition of Masin is so
7:38
uh two international institutions or two
7:40
separate panels of of the United Nations
7:43
have made pronouncements regarding his
7:45
extraordinary relation and called for
7:47
his additional release. Nigeria is a
7:50
member of the United Nations and
7:51
therefore bound to uh consider that and
7:55
implement that decision and in Nigeria
7:58
three courts have made similar
8:01
pronouncements. First was by the federal
8:03
high court Omaha which awarded him 500
8:05
million naira and the court of appeal
8:07
also pronounced that he he was a a
8:11
victim of extraordinary rendition and in
8:13
the Supreme Court the same Supreme Court
8:15
that send this case back to trial
8:20
conclusion that he was a a victim of a
8:24
reition and all these things are of the
8:26
record they all in the file and we
8:29
remember when this trial was being
8:32
conducted. These very documents were
8:34
attended in evidence. So it compounded
8:36
us. It confused us that the court now
8:39
made a pronouncement that this the
8:41
extraordinary relation had no evidence
8:44
uh before the court that no evidence of
8:46
it was submitted before the court. And
8:48
you remember least but not the last
8:50
recently a Kenyan high court made the
8:53
same pronouncement. But well, if the
8:55
court was misled by believing uh by
8:59
mistake that these things were not in
9:01
the evidence, it also said and left the
9:03
door open that such evidence be uh
9:06
submitted. So we are coming back with
9:08
that evidence and it's going to be
9:09
quantum and legion. So
9:10
what about the first application on the
9:13
well that one too uh it wasn't in
9:16
evidence that the Nigerian medical
9:19
association has intervened. So it came
9:21
as a surprise but there's a short date
9:23
given of 8 days for the NMA to submit it
9:26
report. So somebody is ill, somebody is
9:29
ill, you know I don't think NA is going
9:31
to change much of that but I think the
9:33
judge wanted to leave the record open to
9:36
admit every possible evidence regarding
9:38
this matter and but meantime we are
9:41
disappointed our client remains ill and
9:43
remains detent and we're not happy about
9:46
that. His situation requires an emergent
9:49
care. So whatever the court says today
9:51
does not mean that the government shall
9:54
withdraw back. Just two days ago I wrote
9:56
a letter a private hospital has also
9:59
expressed readiness to admit him here in
10:01
Abuja. For security reasons I won't
10:03
mention the name of the private hospital
10:05
but the government if the government
10:07
appears to have issues with taking him
10:10
to the national hospital we have given
10:11
them an option of a private hospital
10:14
also here in Abuja. So it's safe to say
10:16
that the um the uh application to be
10:20
transferred to the national hospital was
10:22
Rejected? No, it's pending.
10:25
One other information,
10:25
it hasn't been rejected. It's pending.
10:28
Depending the admission of this report
10:30
from the Nigerian Medical Association
10:32
and the opinion of Nigerian Medical
10:34
Association and you know if you were in
10:36
court the judge had ordered that the
10:38
committee or panel to be considered by
10:41
the Nigerian medical association shall
10:43
have a member from the National
10:44
Hospital. So National Hospital is still
10:49
Bring the youth the news in a more
10:51
digital way. President of France Emanuel
10:54
Macarron and its US counterpart Donald
10:57
Trump on Tuesday engaged in a tough talk
10:59
over the recognition of Palestine State
11:02
and the Israeli war in Gaza during the
11:04
bilateral meeting both held on the
11:07
sideline of the UN General Assembly in
11:10
New York where the French president
11:12
insisted that Israel has already
11:14
achieved more by killing the top militia
11:16
leaders of Hamas saying it doesn't work
11:19
to dismantle the Hamas. This is not the
11:21
right way to proceed. He said while
11:24
President Trump had reiterated and
11:26
insisted that things will not work the
11:28
way the French president had suggested
11:30
that the October 7th, 2023 hostages
11:34
still in the custody of Hamas cannot be
11:36
honored with such suggestions. The
11:38
meeting was held when videos of the
11:40
French president Emanuel Macarron and
11:43
Turkish President Reep Erdogan went
11:45
viral on the internet where both
11:47
presidents were stopped or blocked
11:49
separately by New York police operatives
11:51
as they tried to cross streets in the
11:54
New York City over yet to be seen
11:56
incoming motorcade of their counterpart
11:58
President Donald Trump. The French
12:01
president Emanuel Macarron called Donald
12:03
Trump on the phone after his journey to
12:05
the French embassy was blocked by police
12:07
officers preparing for the motorcade of
12:10
the US president but that of the Turkish
12:12
president Reep Erdogan could be seen
12:15
quickly surrounded by his security team
12:18
in a manner that makes the president
12:19
looked apparently in shock the moment
12:21
some group of New York police officers
12:24
advanced towards them to stop the
12:25
Turkish presidential team from crossing
12:28
the road. According to New York Times,
12:31
nothing frustrates a New Yorker in a
12:33
hurry like finding that a street has
12:35
been blocked off because some big shot
12:37
is in town. Apparently, the same is true
12:40
for the president of France, Emanuel
12:42
Macarron. On Monday evening, Mr. Macron
12:46
in New York for the UN General Assembly
12:49
was stuck on a Manhattan street corner
12:51
that had been closed off for President
12:53
Trump's motorcade. The meeting of world
12:56
leaders is among other things a traffic
12:59
nightmare. At first, Mr. Macron did what
13:02
many New Yorkers might do. He pleaded
13:05
with a police officer to let him cross
13:07
the street. I have 10 people with me.
13:10
Mr. Macron told the officer, according
13:12
to video that shows the French president
13:14
making his case on the street corner. I
13:17
go to the French embassy, but the
13:19
officer politely held his ground and
13:21
would not let Mr. Macron cross the
13:24
I'm sorry, President. I'm really sorry,
13:27
he told Mr. Macron. It's just that
13:30
everything's been frozen right now.
13:33
There's a motorcade coming right now.
13:35
I'm sorry, Mr. Macron, who has engaged
13:38
in diplomacy to try to end the wars in
13:40
Ukraine and Gaza, tried again. I
13:43
negotiate with you, the French president
13:46
said on the video. When that didn't
13:49
work, Mr. Macron did what average New
13:51
Yorkers cannot do. He pulled out his
13:54
phone and called the president of the
13:55
United States. "How are you?" he asked
13:58
Mr. Trump, cell phone pressed to his
14:01
ear. "Guess what? I am waiting the
14:03
street because everything is frozen for
14:06
you." It was not clear from the video
14:08
what Mr. Trump said. But Mr. Macarron
14:11
chuckled and told the American president
14:13
that he was hoping to have a discussion
14:14
with him and Qatari officials about the
14:17
situation in Gaza. The White House did
14:20
not immediately respond to a request for
14:22
comment on Tuesday. The French
14:25
president's office confirmed that while
14:26
leaving the United Nations on Monday
14:28
evening, Mr. Macron was caught in a
14:31
freeze when the streets were blocked to
14:33
allow the American president's motorcade
14:36
to pass. Mr. Mrron's office confirmed
14:39
that Mr. Macron used the opportunity to
14:41
call Mr. Trump and said the two had a
14:44
very warm and amicable discussion about
14:46
international issues. Mr. Macron was
14:49
eventually allowed to cross the street.
14:51
Video from Brute, a French news outlet,
14:55
showed him walking past food carts and
14:57
posing for photos with people, including
15:00
a man who planted a kiss on his
15:02
forehead. The New York Police Department
15:04
said in a statement that thousands of
15:06
officers were on call this week to
15:08
ensure the safety of New Yorkers and
15:10
foreign dignitaries during the UN
15:12
General Assembly. Mercy to President
15:15
Mron for recognizing the dedication and
15:17
tireless efforts of our offices who
15:19
safeguard this annual event. The
15:21
department said during the bilateral
15:24
meeting, President Macarron asked
15:26
President Donald Trump that since over 2
15:30
years the Israel war in Gaza began, what
15:32
has been achieved? The French president
15:35
said it is not right to proceed with the
15:37
aim of dismantling Hamas in the
15:39
Palestinian city of Gaza, emphasizing
15:42
that recognizing the Palestinian state
15:44
does not mean the Hamas October 7th,
15:46
2023 attack would be forgotten.
15:49
According to Macron, many French people
15:52
were killed and injured during the
15:53
attack in Israel. Adding he visited
15:56
shortly after the attack to meet with
15:58
the affected families. President Donald
16:01
Trump had said that October 7th, 2023 is
16:04
one of the world's most saddest days in
16:07
Hroy that cannot be forgotten. Saying it
16:10
was a day babies being sliced into half.
16:13
Young children's heads were watched
16:15
being chopped off by the Hamas and it
16:17
cannot be forgotten. Adding he has
16:20
always said the last hostages will be
16:22
the toughest ones apparently to rescue
16:24
that the suggestion of the French
16:26
president will not honor the hostages.
16:33
Which way? Which which way?
16:35
Well, we're trying to go to
16:44
Anyone need to pass?
17:55
was always saying the last hostages are
17:58
going to be the toughest ones, but uh
18:01
you can't honor them by
18:03
doing anything like you suggest. All you
18:06
can do is say we want our hostages back
18:08
and we want we want the war to end.
18:10
We're going to want it to end.
18:11
Nobody forgets the 7th of October.
18:14
I went there a few days after taking
18:17
families in my in my hands and and it's
18:21
we experienced all together this
18:23
horrific attacks and and and by the way
18:26
we lost a lot of French people in this
18:29
terrorist attacks but after almost two
18:32
years of war what is the what is the
18:36
they killed the top leaders of Hamas it
18:38
works this is a great achievement but at
18:41
the same time you have as many Hamas
18:44
fighters as you had the first day. So it
18:47
doesn't work to dismantle the Hamas.
18:49
This is not the right the right way to
18:54
Bringing you the news in a more digital
18:56
way. There is no doubt that this week
18:58
may be an interesting week in the
19:00
international community as world leaders
19:02
gather for the 2025 United Nations
19:05
General Assembly meeting to discuss and
19:07
take a stand over decades of conflicts
19:10
between Israel and the people of
19:11
Palestine, especially some of them well
19:13
known as Hamas fighters over territorial
19:16
integrity and sovereignty most
19:18
especially ever since the state of
19:20
Palestine was officially declared by the
19:23
Palestine Liberation Organization PLO on
19:26
the 15th. 18 of November 1988 claiming
19:29
sovereignty over the West Bank which
19:31
includes East Jerusalem and the Gaza
19:34
Strip. And as at the end of 1988, over
19:37
78 countries approved the declaration,
19:40
including Nigeria that recognized
19:42
Palestinian state barely 3 days after
19:44
the declaration on November 18th, 1988.
19:48
And the numbers have been increasing
19:50
particularly since the beginning of 2024
19:53
like never before. As of September 21st,
19:58
over 151 countries out of the 193 United
20:03
Nations members have recognized the
20:06
Palestinian state, including United
20:08
Kingdom, UK, which its recognition
20:10
appears to be more disturbing to the
20:12
Israeli government with the Israeli
20:14
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
20:17
issuing what he described as a clear
20:19
message to the world leaders recognizing
20:21
Palestine as a country of its own that
20:23
it's not going to happen. The United
20:26
Kingdom, Australia, Canada, among
20:28
others, declared and announced their
20:30
recognition of the Palestinian state on
20:32
September 21st, 2025, while countries
20:36
like Germany, Italy, Japan, and South
20:39
Korea, among others, are yet to make
20:41
their position known. In a video
20:43
broadcast on Sunday, the British Prime
20:46
Minister Kama said, "Today, to revive
20:49
the hope of peace for the Palestinians
20:51
and Israelis and a two-state solution,
20:54
the United Kingdom formally recognizes
20:56
the state of Palestine, adding that the
20:58
recognition is not a reward for Hamas,
21:01
reiterating that the United Kingdom has
21:03
already prescribed and sanctioned Hamas
21:05
as a terrorist organization, saying any
21:08
member of Hamas will not be a member of
21:10
the Palestinian government, including in
21:12
joining the security architectures of
21:14
the Palestinian state. A statement by
21:17
the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin
21:19
Netanyahu, issued a few hours after the
21:22
video broadcast by the Prime Minister of
21:24
the United Kingdom, Kama. The Israel
21:27
Prime Minister said there would never be
21:29
a Palestinian state to the west of the
21:31
Jordan River. In quotes, Prime Minister
21:34
Benjamin Netanyahu said, "I have a clear
21:37
message to those leaders who are
21:38
recognizing a Palestinian state after
21:40
the horrendous October 7th massacre. You
21:43
are rewarding terror with an enormous
21:45
prize. And I have another message for
21:48
you. It's not going to happen. There
21:51
will be no Palestinian state to the west
21:53
of the Jordan River. For years, I have
21:56
prevented the creation of that terror
21:58
state against tremendous pressure, both
22:00
domestic and from abroad.
22:02
We have done this with determination and
22:05
with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we
22:08
have doubled the Jewish settlement in
22:09
Judea and Samaria, and we will continue
22:12
on this path. The response to the latest
22:15
attempt to force upon us a terrorist
22:17
state in the heart of our land will be
22:19
given after my return from the United
22:21
States. Standby. In the face of the
22:24
growing horror in the Middle East, we
22:27
are acting to keep alive the possibility
22:30
of peace and a two-state solution.
22:34
That means a safe and secure Israel
22:38
alongside a viable Palestinian state.
22:41
At the moment, we have neither.
22:45
Ordinary people, Israeli and
22:50
deserve to live in peace, to try to
22:53
rebuild their lives free from violence
22:56
We agree or disagree.
22:58
That's what the British people
23:00
desperately want to see.
23:03
Yet, almost two years after the barbaric
23:06
attacks of October the 7th, hostages are
23:11
still held by the terrorists of Hamas.
23:15
Recent images show the hostages
23:18
suffering and emaciated.
23:20
Hamas even refuse to release all the
23:27
I have met British families of the
23:30
I see the torture that they endure each
23:34
and every day. Pain that strikes deep in
23:38
people's hearts across Israel and here
23:40
in the United Kingdom. because we have
23:43
The hostages must be released
23:47
and we will keep fighting to bring them
23:49
to share our thoughts.
23:50
Let's be frank. Hamas is a brutal terror
23:56
Our call for a genuine two-state
23:59
solution is the exact opposite of their
24:06
So, we are clear. This solution is not a
24:10
reward for Hamas because it means Hamas
24:13
can have no future, no role in
24:16
government, no role in security.
24:19
We have already prescribed and
24:21
sanctioned Hamas and we will go further.
24:25
I have directed work to sanction other
24:27
Hamas figures in the coming weeks.
24:32
Meanwhile, the man-made humanitarian
24:35
crisis in Gaza reaches new depths. The
24:39
Israeli government's relentless and
24:42
increasing bombardment of Gaza. The
24:45
offensive of recent weeks, the
24:48
starvation and devastation
24:52
are utterly intolerable.
24:55
Tens of thousands have been killed,
24:58
including thousands as they tried to
25:00
collect food and water.
25:04
This death and destruction horrifies all
25:12
We have evacuated the first group of
25:14
sick and injured children to the United
25:16
Kingdom to be treated by the NHS and we
25:19
continue to increase our humanitarian
25:23
But still nowhere near enough aid is
25:28
We call again on the Israeli government
25:32
to lift the unacceptable restrictions at
25:35
the border. Stop these cruel tactics and
25:39
let the aid surge in item.
25:43
With the actions of Hamas, the Israeli
25:45
government escalating the conflict and
25:48
settlement building being accelerated in
25:53
The hope of a two-state solution
25:56
is fading, madame president,
25:59
but we cannot let that light go out.
26:03
That is why we are building consensus
26:05
with leaders in the region and beyond
26:08
around our framework for peace. 145.
26:12
This is a practical plan to bring people
26:15
together behind a common vision and a
26:18
series of steps, including the reform of
26:21
the Palestinian Authority
26:24
that takes us from a ceasefire in Gaza
26:28
to negotiations on a two-state solution.
26:32
We will keep driving this forward.
26:36
As part of this effort,
26:39
I set out in July the terms upon which
26:43
we would act in line with our manifesto
26:47
to recognize Palestinian statethood
26:50
issues. That moment has now arrived.
26:58
revive the hope of peace and a two-state
27:02
abuse. I state clearly
27:05
as prime minister of this great country
27:08
and for the host country
27:09
that the United Kingdom formally
27:12
recognizes the state of Palestine to be
27:17
We recognize the state of Israel more
27:19
than 75 years ago as a homeland for the
27:25
Today we join over 150 countries
27:29
who recognize a Palestinian state also
27:33
leaders a pledge to the Palestinian and
27:38
that there can be a better future
27:44
I know the strength of feeling that this
27:46
conflict provokes. We have seen it on
27:49
our streets, in our schools, in
27:53
conversations we've had with friends and
27:57
It has created division. Some have used
28:01
it to stoke hatred and fear. But that
28:08
Not only must we reject hate,
28:11
we must redouble our efforts to combat
28:14
hatred in all its forms.
28:18
We must channel our efforts united
28:20
together in hope behind the peaceful
28:23
future that we want to see.
28:27
The release of the hostages, an end to
28:29
the violence, an end to the suffering,
28:33
and a shift back towards a two-state
28:36
solution as the best hope for peace and
28:40
security for all sides.
