President Donald Trump of the United
0:02
States US has announced plans to meet
0:05
one- on-one with the president of China
0:07
Xi Jinping at Asia-Pacific Economic
0:09
Cooperation APE meeting coming this
0:12
November in South Korea. And according
0:14
to President Trump, he had a phone call
0:16
with President Xi to also pay a state
0:19
visit to China early next year to
0:21
discuss and find a possible solution to
0:23
end Russia Ukraine war and the US issue
0:26
with the Chineseowned social networking
0:28
company Tik Tok that may face complete
0:30
ban in the United States if agreement is
0:33
not reached on December 16th, 2025. That
0:37
aside, the United States government is
0:39
currently being considered as a pseudo
0:42
practitioner of free trade and free
0:44
speech and freedom of association. Some
0:46
observers accused US government of
0:48
monopoly in the technology industry that
0:51
it wants to remain superior in the
0:53
social networking business. Hence, the
0:55
US government is demanding to own and
0:58
control Tik Tok, trying to use all
1:00
manners of manipulative and deceptive
1:02
ways to force bite dance to sell Tik Tok
1:04
to Oracle and Silver Lake among others
1:07
because of China government alleged
1:09
control of Tik Tok algorithm and also
1:11
allegedly having access to the data of
1:14
US. Interesting as it may be, in the
1:17
aspect of trying to apparently abuse
1:19
freedom of association, United States
1:21
government under President Donald Trump
1:24
has revoked and denied visa to
1:26
Palestinian President Mimmude Abis and
1:28
80 other Palestinian authorities in
1:30
order for them probably not being able
1:32
to attend the United Nations General
1:35
Assembly meeting to speak out their
1:36
minds against Israel war in Gaza and
1:39
other Palestinian territory. but other
1:42
world leaders on Friday in a vote of 145
1:46
against five permitted the Palestinian
1:48
president Mimmude Abbis to address the
1:50
world assembly via video call next week.
1:54
China as one of the biggest economies in
1:56
the world has been on loggerhead with
1:57
its major trade rival the United States
2:00
since 2018 during the first tenure of
2:03
President Donald Trump and its
2:04
loggerhead with US has probably made
2:07
China to maintain a strategic
2:09
pro-Russian position on the war in
2:11
Ukraine publicly claiming neutrality
2:13
while allegedly providing essential
2:15
economic and diplomatic support to
2:17
Moscow. Reports indicated that Chinese
2:20
officials privately admit that a Russian
2:22
defeat would not serve Beijing's
2:24
interests which center on its
2:26
geopolitical rivalry with the United
2:28
States. Also, China's state controlled
2:31
media, Shinua News Agency, People's
2:34
Daily, China Central Television, which
2:37
include China Global Television, China
2:40
National Radio CNR, and China Radio
2:42
International Cree. Some of them always
2:44
using the prominent social networking
2:47
platform in China. The Waybo social
2:49
media are frequently and apparently
2:51
always amplifying Russian talking points
2:54
such as blaming and accusing the North
2:56
Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO of
2:58
expansionist agenda and the US for
3:00
allegedly creating the conflict between
3:02
Russia and Ukraine. On Tik Tok, as of
3:06
September 2025, Tik Tok continues to
3:09
operate in the US while its owner Bite
3:12
Dance negotiates a deal with American
3:14
buyers to avoid a ban. The social
3:17
networking app which has since become
3:19
one of the most used social media
3:21
platforms in the world due to its
3:23
favorable algorithm that challenged
3:25
older existing social media platforms
3:27
for low distribution of users contents.
3:30
It may be true that there are certain
3:31
things people do to others. They may not
3:34
take the same from anyone. This
3:36
assertion appeared to have come into
3:38
play in the current administration of
3:40
Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tanubu who
3:43
in the era of President Good Luck Abel
3:45
Jonathan apparently used spin logic to
3:48
always make false statements, incite the
3:51
public against the government, destroy
3:53
the reputation and personality of the
3:56
then president Good Luck of LA Jonathan.
3:58
As you may know, spin logic in
4:00
communication is a public relations
4:03
campaign strategy that uses deliberate
4:05
biased or misleading interpretations of
4:07
events and information to influence
4:10
public perception. In one of the viral
4:12
videos between 2012 and 2014 in the
4:15
history of politics in Nigeria,
4:17
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu who was then
4:20
a chieftain of the defunct action
4:22
congress of Nigeria ACN and later All
4:25
Progressives Congress APC allegedly told
4:28
a gathering of thousands of people that
4:30
the then President Good Luck of LA
4:32
Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should
4:35
face death or starve to death directly
4:38
or indirectly saying that the then
4:40
president Jonathan did not care about
4:42
the well-being of his people. Till date,
4:44
Tonubu has not shown any evidence to
4:47
back up his claim that the people are
4:49
hungry. President Jonathan said they
4:51
should face death. And in some
4:53
occasions, Tonubu called on the police
4:55
not to attack protesters. Specifically,
4:58
on November 29th, 2013, Tanu tweeted via
5:02
Twitter now exocial media platform that
5:05
police do not attack protesters. Your
5:07
children are involved. your lives are
5:09
involved. Your children's future lie
5:12
here and urged millions of Nigerians to
5:15
protest peacefully against the Jonathan
5:17
le government and in one of the protests
5:20
occupy Niger allegedly sponsored by Bola
5:23
Ahmed Tanugu. According to Reno omicree,
5:26
who was then a media spokesperson to
5:28
Jonathan, the then president Jonathan's
5:30
photo was placed on a coffin as a dead
5:32
man and the coffin was labeled RIP
5:35
meaning rest in peace. Also in February
5:38
2011, as reported by Nigeria media,
5:41
Tonubu described the then president Good
5:43
Luck Jonathan as a drunkard sinking
5:46
fisherman. A word that appears to
5:48
falsely describe the then president
5:49
Jonathan as a man that always take too
5:52
much of alcohol to the extent of losing
5:54
control of his behavior. But under the
5:57
same tonubu who is now the president of
5:59
Nigeria, the state security service ss
6:03
also known as the department of state
6:05
service has filed a court case against
6:08
Facebook and exs social media companies
6:11
over a post published separately on
6:13
August 25th and 26, 2025 by a well-known
6:18
human rights activist and
6:20
anti-government critic Samare and his
6:23
online media Sah reporters. And in the
6:26
fivecount charges, the DSS accused Amy
6:29
Saware of making defamatory or false
6:32
statements against the person of
6:34
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu for
6:36
describing the president as a criminal
6:38
after the president allegedly said there
6:40
is no more corruption in Nigeria. In the
6:43
legal battle, Amayle Saware has also
6:45
gone to court to stop Facebook exocial
6:48
media from deleting his posts and sued
6:51
the DSS for unconstitutional media
6:53
censorship. The DSS in the suit marked
6:57
FHC ABJC cr as people of Nepal in South
7:01
Asia country took to the streets in an
7:04
unprecedented manner to protest an end
7:06
to corruption and bad leadership in the
7:08
country during the week after a
7:09
short-lived ban on social media by the
7:12
Nepalese government. Nigeria secret
7:14
police known as Department of State
7:16
Security Services. The SS appeared to
7:19
have doubled efforts apparently to avert
7:21
the unpleasant Nepal situation in the
7:24
West Africa country. A situation where
7:26
some politicians in the South Asia
7:29
country tasted the bitter side of their
7:31
citizens like never before. This the DSS
7:35
has appeared to be on the neck of exo
7:37
social media management to ensure the
7:39
deletion of a post tweeted by the
7:41
founder of Sahare reporters news media
7:44
and a well-known anti-government critic
7:46
Amy Saware that allegedly described the
7:49
Nigeria president Bola Ahmed Tonubu as a
7:52
criminal. A statement Saware made in
7:54
reaction to the words of President Bola
7:56
Ahmed Tonubu over corruption in Nigeria
7:59
while the president was on official
8:01
visit in Brazil. The DSS said Saware
8:04
misrepresented the president's statement
8:06
and as such the supporters of the
8:08
president are not happy over it. Hence
8:11
the security service demanded a
8:12
retracted publication from Omi Saware.
8:16
But in a swift reaction
8:18
declined and accused the DSS of always
8:20
acting illegally. In a letter written
8:23
during the week and addressed to the
8:25
director general of the department of
8:29
said I acknowledge receipt of your
8:31
letter which you stealthily dumped with
8:33
a security guard at the office of my
8:35
attorneys in Abuja addressed to Abu Bakr
8:38
Marshall. I find your horrendous attempt
8:40
at holding an unwarranted brief for the
8:42
president not only insidious but
8:44
fundamentally defective, flawed in
8:46
principle and absolutely unlawful. The
8:50
State Security Service was not created
8:52
as a security institution. The SSS, now
8:56
self-styled as the DSS, began as the E
9:00
Department Special Branch, an office
9:02
established in 1948 and initially
9:05
located in the Office of the Inspector
9:06
General of Police. It was later renamed
9:09
the National Security Organization, NSO.
9:13
But on June 5th, 1986, the federal
9:16
military government issued decree number
9:18
19, dissolving the NSO and unbundling it
9:21
into three entities. The SSS for
9:24
domestic intelligence, the NIA for
9:26
external intelligence and counter
9:28
intelligence, and the DIA for military
9:30
related intelligence. While the NI and
9:33
DIA largely kept faith with their
9:35
mandates, the SSS under successive
9:38
director generals has consistently acted
9:40
bullishly, illegally, and unlawfully,
9:43
serving as a ready tool of oppression
9:45
for dictatorial regimes bent on breaking
9:47
rules and repressing the rights of the
9:49
Nigerian people. Thus, it is no surprise
9:53
that you have once again resumed
9:54
repressive hostility against me. In
9:59
while I was student union president at
10:01
the University of Lagos, policemen
10:03
abducted me from the university gate
10:05
during a peaceful pro-democracy protest.
10:08
I was taken to your Lagos office after
10:11
being driven around with my head tucked
10:13
under a seat. From our low way in Aoy, I
10:17
was detained unlawfully for weeks at the
10:19
notorious inter center near Aoy
10:21
Cemetery. It took several days of
10:23
lecture boycott to force your hand to
10:25
release me without charges again in
10:29
January and June. level. Bringing you
