Early in November 2025, the United States president, Donald Trump, ordered<\/a> the United States military to prepare for a possible war in Nigeria against Islamic extremists who had killed tens of thousands of Christians in Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passionate discussions<\/a> arose about the large killings of Christians in Nigeria, which attracted members of the international community, including the US. Trump declared<\/a> Nigeria a \u201cCountry of particular concern\u201d for the gross violation of Christian persecution in Nigeria.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An X user, @igifechukwu<\/a>, shared a video allegedly of a live broadcast of Nigeria\u2019s president, Bola Tinubu, telling the public not to express anxiety over whatever Trump plans to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo fear of whatever Trump is doing,\u201d Tinubu commented on a live broadcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a reaction, Trump spoke down to the Nigerian president, dismissing him as a mediocre leader, and was disappointed at Nigerians for electing him as Nigeria\u2019s president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease turn off this television. I\u2019m tired of listening to this man. He is not making any sense at all. Honestly, I\u2019m very disappointed with Nigerians for voting such a clueless man as their president,\u201d Trump allegedly retorted.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2025, the post has attracted over 311,000 views, 293 comments, 1,000 retweets, 1,900 likes, and 748 bookmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a few other X users believed the content of the video, others dismissed it as an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t vote for him, oh\u2026\u201d @moffyde4u<\/a> commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat a sad story,\u201d @OEhimuan60540<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is AI now,\u201d @adelacuna001<\/a> disagreed with the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the ongoing conversation about the issue and the relationship between the US and Nigeria, DUBAWA decided to verify the authenticity of the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA subjected the video clip to an AI-detecting tool, Attestiv<\/a>, which carefully indicated many areas of lip replacement, face replacement, and AI-modified parts in the video clip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also subjected the video clip to Deepware<\/a>, another AI-detecting tool, which evaluated the video clip as \u201csuspicious.\u201d It revealed that the amount of non-deepfake properties in the video is only 50 per cent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We checked news outlets for Tinubu\u2019s public reaction to Trump\u2019s threat of military invasion. We found an Arise News<\/a> television broadcast (3:05-3:44) shared on Nov. 8, 2025, that shows Tinubu promising to engage the world diplomatically and end terrorism in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe task ahead is a mess. We are engaging the world diplomatically. And we assure all of you that we will defeat terrorism in this country,\u201d President Tinubu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe task ahead is a mess, but it\u2019s our resolve to move forward with unity and purpose, guided by a renewed hope agenda to build a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient Nigeria,\u201d The president further asserted <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Trust<\/a> also reported a similar development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no credible media reports of Tinubu dismissing Trump\u2019s military invasion threats or Trump deriding the Nigerian president for his alleged incompetence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Careful analysis reveals that the video was AI-manipulated. Credible media outlets also reported that Tinubu promised to work with the rest of the world and end terrorism in Nigeria. The claim is therefore false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
