South African TV Speaks To Tinubu's Adviser, Bwala About US-Nigeria Tensions by RandDigital(op): 9:58pm On Nov 03, 2025

Dr Daniel Bwala, Adviser to the Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, had an interview with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) on Monday evening to discuss the notion of a Christian genocide in Nigeria and Trump's threat of a military intervention.

The host Thembekile Mrototo began by asking for his thoughts on recent developments.

Bwala: Nigeria is "not a hostile country to warrant US military intervention".

The "concept of a Christian genocide is a hoax by a separatist group in Nigeria to create discord in the country".

Bwala was also asked if Nigeria would be able to convince Trump otherwise on 'Christian genocide' when South Africa has so far been unable to dispel false notions of a white genocide in the country.

He responded by saying "Trump is open to dialogue" and has previously adopted "a common understanding" following meetings with different world leaders in the Oval Office.

Asked what credible data the Nigerians have to show Americans that there's no disproportionate or exclusive killings that target Christian communities, Bwala responded by saying "there's no extraordinary data" and that "all data is already out in the open space".

Asked how Nigeria will respond if Trump unilaterally approved military action in the country, Bwala said "there's never going to be a case of military intervention in Nigeria because we know the body language and tactics of President Trump".

Asked if a visit to the White House would ease the tension, Bwala said the South African visit to Trump earlier in the year also achieved that very objective of easing tensions.

Asked if there'll be a meeting between Trump and Tinubu in the coming hours, Bwala said "we reserve our comment, diplomacy requires protocol and we have to respect protocol".

Bwala really carried diplomatic swagger On this one..

He basically told American "help if you want, but don't come here acting like Rambo in Abuja... grin

Nigeria needs support not supervision....

On christian genocide claims,..trump should change it to "widespread Insecurity and terrorism effecting Nigeria"

In short, Calm down, respect our land, and stop flexing your airstrike... grin

To be honest, I do not support Nigeria government for sponsonring the killing of her citizens, however, Nigeria will never get geniue help from international communities. To start with, why did they create Nigeria in the first place, country with unsuited people, this was done so that we will not be able to speak with one tongue.

The only help they can render is to undo the evil they created by mandating NIgeria government to conduct memorandum. Invading Nigeria and turning it to afghanistan or Gaza is not want we want as a people. The evil done to be the people of West Africa and Central Africa by the international powers is enough.

Nigeria government/politicians are your enemy, so is the international power that control the current world order.

It’s a shame Nigeria has been reduced to this in just how many years. A nation that once commanded respect is now constantly on the defensive, explaining away insecurity and killings instead of addressing them decisively. When leadership fails to uphold justice and accountability, perception becomes reality, and that’s exactly where we are today.

Bwala is really doing well. I watched his interview on Russian Tv yesterday and it was excellent. Now I see why President Tinubu went all the way to bring him back to APC as his special adviser on policy communications. He should be deployed to CNN, Fox News and other American tv stations to help correct the false narrative and reshape the opinion of American about Nigeria.

President Trump and the US did not say they want to overthrow the government, they said they want to flush out the terrorists and stop the on-going genocide, so why is the FG bothered?

I wholeheartedly endorse a United States Military intervention in eradicating terrorism, stopping the genocide, systematic landgrabbing and two-tier policing happening in Nigeria.

i don't understand why Nigerian government is supporting Bandits killing innocent people.

Since the past decade you have not done much against this Bandits, all of a sudden you don't want Trump to kill criminal elements?

It says a lot.

The killings in Nigeria is just too much. Few years ago it was not like that until these same set of politicians decided to invite demons into the country in their quest for power.

So we just need to cast out devils and that's what Christians do and so that's why Trump is coming.
