“World War 3 Is Coming — But Africa Will Be Spared,” Says Senator Ben Murray-Bruce

Published: Thursday, June 19, 2025

In a striking prediction that’s raising eyebrows across the globe, Nigerian politician and media mogul Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has declared that World War III is on the horizon—but with an unusual twist: Africa, he says, won’t be touched.

Speaking in a recent interview, the former senator who represented Bayelsa East in Nigeria’s National Assembly sounded the alarm over the growing tensions among global superpowers.

“We are in big trouble,” Bruce warned. “As long as we have the kind of leaders we have in the world today, I see World War III coming—and it’s going to be terrible.”

🌍 Why Africa Might Be Spared

Despite his grim outlook, Ben Murray-Bruce offered an unexpected silver lining: Africa, and particularly Nigeria, will be spared the fallout.

Why?

“The beauty of World War III,” he said, “is that it’s not going to affect Africa. Africa will be safe.”

The reason, he explained, lies in the continent’s non-aggressive foreign policy, lack of nuclear ambition, and generally peaceful relationships with neighboring states.

“We have no territorial ambition, no desire to acquire nuclear weapons. We don’t want to fight anybody,” he said. “We’re friends with all our West African neighbors.”

🚨 Global Reactions & Local Reflections

The senator’s comments come at a time when geopolitical tensions are flaring—from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, and across parts of Asia. His forecast aligns with the concerns of international analysts who warn that the world is teetering on the edge of large-scale conflict.

However, Bruce’s belief that Africa could remain a peaceful outlier offers a hopeful narrative that contrasts sharply with mainstream global fears.

🧠 Final Thought: A Call for Peace in a Divided World

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce’s message is both a warning and a reassurance. While the world may be marching toward conflict, he reminds us that peace is possible—and Africa’s neutrality may serve as a powerful example.

Will Africa truly be spared? Only time will tell. But in a world boiling with tension, perhaps the continent’s greatest weapon is its refusal to pick up arms.

Jeff Bezos Shuts Down NYC’s Fifth Avenue To Hoist Furniture Into His $119M Penthouse (Video)

Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos caused a social media stir after temporarily shutting down a portion of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue to receive a very exclusive delivery — furniture for his $119 million penthouse.

A now-viral video captured the jaw-dropping moment when a massive crane lifted a giant, wrapped item high above the streets of New York City, destined for Bezos’ opulent residence at 212 Fifth Avenue. The luxury building spans 24 stories, with Bezos reportedly owning five units across the top four floors, forming a sky-high mega-mansion.

The entire scene — complete with barricades, caution tape, moving trucks, and a captivated crowd of onlookers — unfolded at the busy intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street.

TikTok user Raffi Arslanian, owner of luxury candle brand Thompson Ferrier, caught the moment from his nearby office and shared it with the caption:

“You want to see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture? Let me show you…”

The clip, now boasting nearly a million views, features Arslanian chuckling, “Back to reality, where we get a U-Haul. We don’t shut down a street.”

Social media exploded with speculation: Was it a grand piano? A hot tub? A few joked, “Amazon Prime: Billionaire Edition.”

One user summed it up:

“If I had $100 billion, I’d do the same thing.”

According to real estate insiders, these kinds of crane-assisted deliveries can cost upwards of $20,000 per day, not including permits to close city streets.

With an estimated net worth of $223 billion, Jeff Bezos has once again reminded everyone what billionaire living truly looks like — lifting furniture 20 stories into the sky while the city stops to watch.
