Media mogul and former senator Ben Murray-Bruce has sounded the alarm on what he believes is the inevitable arrival of World War III, citing growing global instability, nuclear threats, and aggressive leadership as major warning signs.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Global Affairs Expert Dane Waters, Murray-Bruce predicted that while the coming global war will devastate much of the world, Africa—and Nigeria in particular—will remain safe.
“We’re in big trouble, and as long as we have the kind of leaders we have in the world today, I see World War Three coming, and it’s going to be terrible,” he said.
Despite his ominous warning, Murray-Bruce offered a note of reassurance for Nigeria, attributing its likely immunity to the conflict to the country’s peaceful diplomacy, lack of territorial ambitions, and absence of nuclear weapons.
“The beauty of World War III is that it’s not going to affect Africa… Nobody is going to be fighting in Nigeria because we have no territorial ambitions, we have no desire to acquire nuclear weapons, we don’t want to fight anybody,” he stated.
Murray-Bruce also envisioned Nigeria as a future refuge for war-displaced populations from the West, including Americans, Israelis, and Iranians, if a global war breaks out.
“We’ll be happy to welcome Americans, Israelis, and Iranians to Nigeria. You’ll all need visas, and we’ll treat you well when you come visit,” he quipped.
He criticized global leadership, blaming “trigger-happy” leaders and despots for escalating tensions worldwide.
“It’s not the people who cause wars—it’s the leaders,” he said, pointing to historical precedents like World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Murray-Bruce’s comments come at a time of escalating military tensions between Israel and Iran, with U.S. President Donald Trump considering whether to enter the conflict.
