President Donald Trump of the United
0:32
States, US has announced plans to meet
0:35
one- on-one with the president of China,
0:37
Xi Jinping at Asia-Pacific Economic
0:39
Cooperation, APEC meeting coming this
0:42
November in South Korea. And according
0:44
to President Trump, he had a phone call
0:46
with President Xi to also pay a state
0:49
visit to China early next year to
0:51
discuss and find a possible solution to
0:53
end Russia Ukraine war and the US issue
0:56
with the Chineseowned social networking
0:58
company Tik Tok that may face complete
1:00
ban in the United States if agreement is
1:03
not reached on December 16th, 2025. That
1:07
aside, the United States government is
1:09
currently being considered as a pseudo
1:12
practitioner of free trade and free
1:14
speech and freedom of association. Some
1:17
observers accused US government of
1:19
monopoly in the technology industry that
1:21
it wants to remain superior in the
1:23
social networking business. Hence, the
1:25
US government is demanding to own and
1:28
control Tik Tok, trying to use all
1:30
manners of manipulative and deceptive
1:32
ways to force bite dance to sell Tik Tok
1:35
to Oracle and Silver Lake among others
1:37
because of China government alleged
1:39
control of Tik Tok algorithm and also
1:41
allegedly having access to the data of
1:44
US users. Interesting as it may be, in
1:47
the aspect of trying to apparently abuse
1:49
freedom of association, United States
1:52
government under President Donald Trump
1:54
has revoked and denied visa to
1:56
Palestinian President Mimmude Abis and
1:58
80 other Palestinian authorities in
2:01
order for them probably not being able
2:02
to attend the United Nations General
2:05
Assembly meeting to speak out their
2:07
minds against Israel war in Gaza and
2:09
other Palestinian territory. but other
2:12
world leaders on Friday in a vote of 145
2:16
against five permitted the Palestinian
2:18
president Mimmude Abbis to address the
2:20
world assembly via video call next week.
2:24
China as one of the biggest economies in
2:26
the world has been on loggerhead with
2:28
its major trade rival the United States
2:30
since 2018 during the first tenure of
2:33
President Donald Trump and its
2:35
loggerhead with US has probably made
2:37
China to maintain a strategic
2:39
pro-Russian position on the war in
2:41
Ukraine publicly claiming neutrality
2:43
while allegedly providing essential
2:45
economic and diplomatic support to
2:47
Moscow. Reports indicated that Chinese
2:50
officials privately admit that a Russian
2:52
defeat would not serve Beijing's
2:54
interests which center on its
2:56
geopolitical rivalry with the United
2:58
States. Also, China's state controlled
3:02
media, Shinua News Agency, People's
3:05
Daily, China Central Television, which
3:07
include China Global Television, China
3:10
National Radio CNR, and China Radio
3:12
International Cree. Some of them always
3:15
using the prominent social networking
3:17
platform in China. The Waybo social
3:19
media are frequently and apparently
3:21
always amplifying Russian talking points
3:24
such as blaming and accusing the North
3:26
Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO of
3:28
expansionist agenda and the US for
3:30
allegedly creating the conflict between
3:33
Russia and Ukraine. On Tik Tok, as of
3:36
September 2025, Tik Tok continues to
3:39
operate in the US while its owner Bite
3:42
Dance negotiates a deal with American
3:44
buyers to avoid a ban. the social
3:47
networking app which has since become
3:49
one of the most used social media
3:51
platforms in the world due to its
3:53
favorable algorithm that challenged
3:55
older existing social media platforms
3:57
for low distribution of users contents.
4:00
It may be true that there are certain
4:02
things people do to others. They may not
4:04
take the same from anyone. This
4:06
assertion appeared to have come into
4:08
play in the current administration of
4:10
Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tanubu who
4:13
in the era of President Good Luck Abel
4:16
Jonathan apparently used spin logic to
4:19
always make false statements, incite the
4:22
public against the government, destroy
4:24
the reputation and personality of the
4:26
then president Good Luck of LA Jonathan.
4:28
As you may know, spin logic in
4:30
communication is a public relations
4:33
campaign strategy that uses deliberate
4:35
biased or misleading interpretations of
4:38
events and information to influence
4:40
public perception. In one of the viral
4:42
videos between 2012 and 2014 in the
4:45
history of politics in Nigeria,
4:47
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu, who was
4:49
then a chieftain of the defunct action
4:52
congress of Nigeria, ACN, and later All
4:55
Progressives Congress, APC, allegedly
4:58
told a gathering of thousands of people
5:00
that the then President Good Luck
5:02
Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should
5:05
face death or starve to death. directly
5:08
or indirectly saying that the then
5:10
president Jonathan did not care about
5:12
the well-being of his people. Till date,
5:15
Tonubu has not shown any evidence to
5:17
back up his claim that the people are
5:19
hungry. President Jonathan said they
5:21
should face death. And in some
5:23
occasions, Tonubu called on the police
5:25
not to attack protesters. Specifically
5:28
on November 29th, 2013, Tanubu tweeted
5:31
via Twitter now exocial media platform
5:34
that police do not attack protesters.
5:37
Your children are involved. Your lives
5:39
are involved. Your children's future lie
5:42
here and urged millions of Nigerians to
5:45
protest peacefully against the Jonathan
5:47
le government and in one of the protests
5:50
occupy Niger allegedly sponsored by Bola
5:53
Ahmed Tonugu. According to Reno Omry,
5:56
who was then a media spokesperson to
5:58
Jonathan, the then president Jonathan's
6:00
photo was placed on a coffin as a dead
6:03
man and the coffin was labeled RIP,
6:05
meaning rest in peace. Also in February
6:08
2011, as reported by Nigeria media,
6:11
Tonubu described the then president Good
6:13
Luck Jonathan as a drunkard sinking
6:16
fisherman. A word that appears to
6:18
falsely describe the then president
6:20
Jonathan as a man that always take too
6:22
much of alcohol to the extent of losing
6:24
control of his behavior. But under the
6:27
same tonubu who is now the president of
6:30
Nigeria, the state security service ss
6:33
also known as the department of state
6:35
service has filed a court case against
6:38
Facebook and exs social media companies
6:41
over a post published separately on
6:44
August 25th and 26, 2025 by a well-known
6:49
human rights activist and
6:50
anti-government critic Samare and his
6:53
online media Sahare reporters And in the
6:56
fivecount charges, the DSS accused Amy
6:59
Saware of making defamatory or false
7:02
statements against the person of
7:04
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu for
7:06
describing the president as a criminal
7:08
after the president allegedly said there
7:10
is no more corruption in Nigeria. In the
7:13
legal battle, Amy Saware has also gone
7:16
to court to stop Facebook exocial media
7:19
from deleting his posts and sued the DSS
7:22
for unconstitutional media censorship.
7:24
The DSS in the suit marked FHC ABJC cr
7:30
as people of Nepal in South Asia country
7:32
took to the streets in an unprecedented
7:34
manner to protest an end to corruption
7:36
and bad leadership in the country during
7:39
the week after a short-lived ban on
7:41
social media by the Nepalese government.
7:43
Nigeria secret police known as
7:45
Department of State Security Services.
7:48
The SS appeared to have doubled efforts
7:50
apparently to revert the unpleasant
7:52
Nepal situation in the West Africa
7:55
country. A situation where some
7:57
politicians in the South Asia country
8:00
tasted the bitter side of their citizens
8:02
like never before. This the DSS has
8:05
appeared to be on the neck of exocial
8:07
media management to ensure the deletion
8:09
of a post tweeted by the founder of
8:12
Sahare reporters news media and a
8:14
well-known anti-government critic Amy
8:17
Saware that allegedly described the
8:19
Nigeria president Bola Ahmed Tonubu as a
8:22
criminal. A statement Saware made in
8:24
reaction to the words of President Bola
8:26
Ahmed Tonubu over corruption in Nigeria
8:30
while the president was on official
8:32
visit in Brazil. The DSS said Saw War
8:34
misrepresented the president's statement
8:36
and as such the supporters of the
8:38
president are not happy over it. Hence
8:41
the security service demanded a
8:43
retracted publication from Saware but in
8:48
declined and accused the DSS of always
8:51
acting illegally. In a letter written
8:53
during the week and addressed to the
8:55
director general of the department of
8:59
said I acknowledge receipt of your
9:01
letter which you stealthily dumped with
9:03
a security guard at the office of my
9:05
attorneys in Abuja addressed to Abu Bakr
9:08
Marshall. I find your horrendous attempt
9:10
at holding an unwarranted brief for the
9:12
president not only insidious but
9:14
fundamentally defective, flawed in
9:17
principle and absolutely unlawful. The
9:20
State Security Service was not created
9:22
as a security institution. The SSS, now
9:26
self-styled as the DSS, began as the E
9:30
Department Special Branch, an office
9:32
established in 1948 and initially
9:35
located in the Office of the Inspector
9:37
General of Police. It was later renamed
9:39
the National Security Organization, NSO.
9:43
But on June 5th, 1986, the federal
9:46
military government issued decree number
9:48
19, dissolving the NSO and unbundling it
9:51
into three entities. The SSS for
9:54
domestic intelligence, the NIA for
9:56
external intelligence and counter
9:58
intelligence, and the DIA for military
10:00
related intelligence. While the NI and
10:03
DIA largely kept faith with their
10:05
mandates, the SSS under successive
10:08
director generals has consistently acted
10:10
bullishly, illegally, and unlawfully,
10:13
serving as a ready tool of oppression
10:15
for dictatorial regimes bent on breaking
10:17
rules and repressing the rights of the
10:19
Nigerian people. Thus, it is no surprise
10:23
that you have once again resumed
10:24
repressive hostility against me. In
10:27
1993, while I was student union
10:30
president at the University of Lagos,
10:33
policemen abducted me from the
10:35
university gate during a peaceful
10:36
pro-democracy protest. I was taken to
10:39
your Lagos office after being driven
10:42
around with my head tucked under a seat.
10:44
From our low way in a koi, I was
10:47
detained unlawfully for weeks at the
10:49
notorious interc center near a koi
10:51
cemetery. It took several days of
10:53
lecture boycott to force your hand to
10:55
release me without charges again in
11:03
the news in a mortgage out
