#Issues #Dss #facebook #Jonathan #Sowore #Tinubu #X ©September 17th, 2025 ®September 17, 2025 2:27 pm It may be true that there are certain things people do to others, they may not take the same from anyone, this assertion appeared to have come into play in the current administration of Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who in the era of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan apparently used spin logic to always make false statements, incite the public against the government, destroy the reputation and personality of the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as you may know, spin logic in communication is a Public Relations campaign strategy that uses deliberate biased or misleading interpretations of events and information to influence public perception, in one of the viral videos between 2012 and 2014 in the history of politics in Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was then a Chieftain of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and later All Progressives Congress, APC, allegedly told a gathering of thousands of people that the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should face death or starve to death, directly or indirectly saying that the then President Jonathan did not care about the wellbeing of his people, till date, Tinubu has not shown any evidence to back up his claim that "the people are hungry, President Jonathan said they should face death", and in some occasions, Tinubu called on the police not to attack protesters, specifically, on November 29, 2013, Tinubu tweeted via Tweeter now X social media platform that: "Police, Do not attack protesters, Your children are involved, Your lives are involved, Your Children's future lie here", and urged millions of Nigerians to protest peacefully against the Jonathan led government and in one of the protests, 'Occupy Naija' allegedly sponsored by Bola Ahmed Tinubu according to Reno Omokri who was then a media spokesperson to Jonathan, the then President Jonathan’s photo was placed on a coffin as a dead man and the coffin was labelled R.I.P meaning Rest In Peace, also, in February 2011 as reported by Nigeria media, Tinubu described the then-President Goodluck Jonathan as a 'drunkard-sinking fisherman' a word that appears to falsely described the then President Jonathan as a man that always take too much of alcohol to the extent of losing control of his behaviour, but, under the same Tinubu who is now the President of Nigeria, the State Security Service, SSS also known as the Department of State Service, DSS has filed a court case against Facebook and X social media companies over a post published separately on August 25 a

1:02
States, US has announced plans to meet one- on-one with the president of China,
1:07
Xi Jinping, at Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, APEC meeting coming this November in South Korea. And according
1:14
to President Trump, he had a phone call with President Xi to also pay a state visit to China early next year to
1:21
discuss and find a possible solution to end Russia Ukraine war and the US issue
1:26
with the Chineseowned social networking company Tik Tok that may face complete ban in the United States if agreement is
1:33
not reached on December 16th, 2025. That aside, the United States government is
1:39
currently being considered as a pseudo practitioner of free trade and free speech and freedom of association. Some
1:47
observers accused US government of monopoly in the technology industry that it wants to remain superior in the
1:53
social networking business. Hence, the US government is demanding to own and control Tik Tok, trying to use all
2:00
manners of manipulative and deceptive ways to force bite dance to sell Tik Tok to Oracle and Silver Lake among others
2:07
because of China government alleged control of Tik Tok algorithm and also allegedly having access to the data of
2:14
US users. Interesting as it may be, in the aspect of trying to apparently abuse
2:19
freedom of association, United States government under President Donald Trump has revoked and denied visa to
2:26
Palestinian President Mimmude Abis and 80 other Palestinian authorities in order for them probably not being able
2:32
to attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting to speak out their minds against Israel war in Gaza and
2:39
other Palestinian territory. but other world leaders on Friday in a vote of 145
2:46
against five permitted the Palestinian president Mimmude Abbis to address the world assembly via video call next week.
2:54
China as one of the biggest economies in the world has been on loggerhead with its major trade rival the United States
3:00
since 2018 during the first tenure of President Donald Trump and its loggerhead with US has probably made
3:07
China to maintain a strategic pro-Russian position on the war in Ukraine publicly claiming neutrality
3:13
while allegedly providing essential economic and diplomatic support to Moscow. Reports indicated that Chinese
3:20
officials privately admit that a Russian defeat would not serve Beijing's interests which center on its
3:26
geopolitical rivalry with the United States. Also, China's state controlled
3:32
media, Shinua News Agency, People's Daily, China Central Television, which
3:37
include China Global Television, China National Radio CNR, and China Radio
3:42
International Cree. Some of them always using the prominent social networking platform in China. the way social media.
3:50
It may be true that there are certain things people do to others. They may not take the same from anyone. This
3:56
assertion appeared to have come into play in the current administration of Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tanubu who
4:03
in the era of President Good Luck Abel Jonathan apparently used spin logic to
4:09
always make false statements, incite the public against the government, destroy the reputation and personality of the
4:16
then president Good Luck Jonathan. As you may know, spin logic in communication is a public relations
4:23
campaign strategy that uses deliberate biased or misleading interpretations of events and information to influence
4:30
public perception. In one of the viral videos between 2012 and 2014 in the
4:35
history of politics in Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tanubu, who was then a chieftain of the defunct action
4:42
congress of Nigeria, ACN, and later All Progressives Congress, APC, allegedly
4:48
told a gathering of thousands of people that the then President Good Luck of LA Jonathan said Nigeria citizens should
4:55
face death or starve to death, directly or indirectly saying that the then President Jonathan did not care about
5:02
the well-being of his people. Till date, Tonubu has not shown any evidence to back up his claim that the people are
5:09
hungry. President Jonathan said they should face death. And in some occasions, Tonubu called on the police
5:15
not to attack protesters. Specifically, on November 29th, 2013, Tonubu tweeted
5:21
via Twitter now exocial media platform that police do not attack protesters.
5:27
Your children are involved. Your lives are involved. your children's future lie here and urged millions of Nigerians to
5:35
protest peacefully against the Jonathan le government and in one of the protests occupy Niger allegedly sponsored by Bola
5:43
Ahmed Tanugubu according to Reno omocry who was then a media spokesperson to
5:48
Jonathan the then president Jonathan's photo was placed on a coffin as a dead man and the coffin was labeled RIP
5:55
meaning rest in peace also in February 2011 as reported by Nigeria media.
6:01
Tonubu described the then president Good Luck Jonathan as a drunkard sinking fisherman. A word that appears to
6:08
falsely describe the then president Jonathan as a man that always take too much of alcohol to the extent of losing
6:15
control of his behavior. But under the same tonubu who is now the president of
6:20
Nigeria, the state security service SSS also known as the department of state
6:25
service DSS has filed a court case against Facebook and exocial media
6:30
companies over a post published separately on August 25th and 26, 2025
6:38
by a well-known human rights act as people of Nepal in South Asia country took to the streets in an unprecedented
6:44
manner to protest an end to corruption and bad leadership in the country during the week after a short-lived ban on
6:51
social media by the Nepalese government. Nigeria secret police known as Department of State Security Services,
6:58
the SS appeared to have doubled efforts apparently to avert the unpleasant Nepal situation in the West Africa country. A
7:06
situation where some politicians in the South Asia country tasted the bitter side of their citizens like never
7:13
before. This the DSS has appeared to be on the neck of exocial media management
7:18
to ensure the deletion of a post tweeted by the founder of Sahare reporters news
7:23
media and a well-known anti-government critic Amy Saware that allegedly described the Nigeria president Bola
7:31
Ahmed Tonubu as a criminal. A statement Saware made in reaction to the words of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu over
7:38
corruption in Nigeria while the president was on official visit in Brazil. The DSS said Saw War
7:44
misrepresented the president's statement and as such the supporters of the president are not happy over it. Hence
7:51
the security service demanded a retracted publication from Omi Saware. But in a swift reaction
7:58
declined and accused the DSS of always acting illegally. In a letter written during the week and addressed to the
8:05
director general of the department of state services said I acknowledge receipt of your
8:11
letter which you stealthily dumped with a security guard at the office of my attorneys in Abuja addressed to Abu Bakr
8:18
Marshall. I find your horrendous attempt at holding an unwarranted brief for the president not only insidious but
8:24
fundamentally defective, flawed in principle and absolutely unlawful. The
8:30
State Security Service was not created as a security institution. The SSS, now
8:36
self-styled as the DSS, began as the E Department Special Branch, an office
8:42
established in 1948 and initially located in the Office of the Inspector General of Police. It was later renamed
8:50
the National Security Organization, NSO. But on June 5th, 1986, the federal
8:56
military government issued decree number 19, dissolving the NSO and unbundling it
9:01
into three entities. The SSS for domestic intelligence, the NIA for external intelligence and counter
9:08
intelligence, and the DIA for military related intelligence. While the NI and DIA largely kept faith with their
9:15
mandates, the SSS under successive director generals has consistently acted bullishly, illegally, and unlawfully,
9:23
serving as a ready tool of oppression for dictatorial regimes bent on breaking rules and repressing the rights of the
9:29
Nigerian. Deputy Commissioner of Police DCP Alumiwa Adajjabi has officially
9:35
announced the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Police CSP Benjamin Hyundai as the new public relations
9:42
officer of the Nigeria Police Force after him, the former police force spokesperson was promoted, reassigned
9:49
and redeployed to Delta State as the deputy commissioner of police in charge of operations. A sensitive position that
9:55
has generated massive reactions from members of the public, especially those who widely believed the DCP Alumi used
10:02
his office as force spokesperson to suppress freedom of speech by arresting and detaining people on grounds of
10:09
alleged cyber talking and violence instigation against the Nigeria police force. While many accused him of
10:16
abandoning the main security challenges affecting Nigeria and created more time
10:21
for himself to be reading through comment sections on social media to harass innocent young Nigerians over
10:28
mere comments. And the new posting may offer DCP Alumini were the opportunity
10:33
to always lead a team of combat joint security squads to battlefields where he
10:39
may have direct contact with some of the deadly and well-armed gunmen in the south south and southeast geopolitical
10:45
zones. Like he's expected to lead offensive and defensive operations against militants and armed robbers who
10:52
have killed several policemen, sometimes in mass numbers in recent years in the
10:57
oil rich Delta State where his new job function required him as the police field combat commander of the state to
11:04
develop combat strategies to address cases of oil bunkering, kidnapping, and more strategies to confront and push
11:11
back Bafra secessionist armed groups widely believed have good positions and camps. s in Delta State. In a statement

14:23
previously served as the police pub. Dangote group owned by Africa richest man Aliko Dangote has denied ownership
14:31
of the two trucks involved in separate road accidents on Wednesday at Aala four
14:36
corner area close to the federal road safety corps FRSC state command and the
14:42
University of Nigeria teaching hospital in Anugu state that claimed 10 lives and
14:48
injured 10 others currently receiving treatments in the hospital. The company made the denial based on the report made
14:55
available by the Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police Force that the two trucks involved in the accidents were
15:02
owned by Visco Investment Global Limited and Global Investment. But videos made
15:08
available online by road users and residents who witnessed the scenes of the accident showed the name of Dangote
15:14
boldly written and inscribed on the head of one of the trucks involved in the accidents. The police said the first
15:20
incident occurred around 9:00 in the morning claiming six lives and the other took place at 3:00 in the afternoon
15:28
killing four persons and our check indicated that the Visco Investment Global Limited is registered by Nigeria
15:35
Corporate Affairs Commission CAC as a general contractor and the company head
15:40
office is opposite Dangote Cement factory at Ajana in the Koja area of Kogi State and its statement on
15:47
Wednesday. Dangote group may have admitted Visco Investment Global Limited as a partner as it described the
15:54
contracting company as a third party. The Anugu State Police Command in a press release on Wednesday said the
16:00
command regrets to inform the public of two separate but tragic fatal road accidents that occurred today the 3rd of
16:07
September 2025 along the Azala four corner axis of the jewel carriage Enugu
16:13
portway. The crashes claimed 10 lives and left 10 others hospitalized. The first incident,
16:21
a multiple vehicle crash, happened at about 9:00 a.m. on the Enugu inwardbound
16:26
lane. A hollow truck inscribed Visco Investment Global and laden with bags of
16:32
white cement was on route Abuja from Abba Abby estate when it collided with a
16:37
Toyota Corolla car that was attempting to overtake another truck on the same route. A Photon bus and a Dhatsu Hyjet
16:44
mini bus, both driving one way, were also caught in the collision. Sadly, the
16:50
truck head and the Toyota Corolla car went up in flames with five occupants of the car burning to death. A passenger in
16:58
the mini bus was equally confirmed dead by the attending medical doctor. Similarly, at about 300 p.m. on the same
17:05
road, another fatal crash occurred. This time it involved a sino truck belonging
17:11
to global investment and a tricycle. The truck laden with some Nigeria President
17:17
Bola Ahmed Tonubu has said that the West Africa country has no fear over whatever
17:22
the president of the United States Donald Trump is doing. Although the Nigeria president did not give details
17:29
what the US president is doing that the nation has no fear of. But President
17:34
Anubu at a meeting with political leaders at the state house in Abuja on Tuesday said that the country has met
17:41
its revenue target for 2025 from nono revenue sources saying if Nigeria as at
17:48
August has already met revenue target from non-oil products the country has no
17:54
fear of whatever the president of the United States US is doing adding that
17:59
the economy of the country is now stabilized saying the Naira currency is
18:04
now performing well in the foreign exchange market with a claim he met dollar exchange rate at 1,900 naira per
18:12
$1 on May 29th, 2023 when he took over as the president of the West Africa
18:18
country, praising himself that he has worked hard to reduce the foreign exchange rate from 1,900 naira to 1,450
18:27
naira per $1. A claim we fact check to be very incorrect. We observed that
18:33
President Bola Tonubu on May 29th 2023 met foreign exchange rate at 461 naira
18:40
per $1. On the day of his inauguration, President Bola Ahmed Tonugu issued a
18:46
policy statement directing the central bank of Nigeria to ensure a unified exchange rate. a policy statement that
18:53
made the exchange rate to increase from 461 naira to 853 naira per $1 at the end
19:01
of 2023. After the president, Boler Ahmed Tanubu officially pegged and
19:06
increased the foreign exchange rate from 461 naira to 750 naira per $1 in his
19:14
2024 budget which made cost of food stuffs and other cost of living in the
19:20
country to increase more than 200%. And while presenting the 2025 budget,
19:26
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu peg and increased the foreign exchange rate from
19:31
750 naira to 1,500 naira per $1. This
19:36
policy action of the president has since made cost of food stuffs and other basic necessities in Nigeria to increase
19:43
outrageously more than 700% with no reduction till date. like a sache water
19:49
that used to be sold for 5 naira is now sold between 20 naira to 50 naira in
19:55
some locations in Nigeria. Details of some of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
20:01
statements as presented by the presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga. Well-known human rights activist and a
20:08
humanitarian Martins Vincent aka Vid Darkman has apparently threatened the
20:13
media especially those he referred to as bloggers not to use his video contents
20:18
on their page and if they do he would report the video to the management of social media platforms like YouTube,
20:26
Facebook, Tik Tok among other online platforms the video or videos were published and ensured the video or
20:32
videos are brought down or removed. He stated this on Tuesday noon in a 9 minutes video wherein he accused the
20:39
media especially those he referred to as bloggers of not joining hands with him and others to launch massive campaign
20:46
and awareness when Ruth Otabbor was alive. the sister of the Big Brother Nigeria season 7 winner Ejuma Otabore
20:53
aka Fina who allegedly needed more attention and care from Dangote group of
20:58
company owned by Africa richest man Aliko Dangote whose truck hit Ruth Otabore few days after the accident
21:05
victim Ruth Otabore rounded off her examinations as a final year student of
21:10
federal polytenic in auth
21:16
victim was announced on Sunday bloggers started publishing the news stories massively continuing Vid Darkman accused
21:23
Fina of being a greedy person saying Fina wrote a demand list of 1 billion
21:28
naira to Dangote even when she has not visited her sister in the hospital to
21:34
know the true picture of her condition in a swift reaction a well-known sex educator who uses raw words to pass
21:41
across her teachings aka queen condemned the act of varman
21:47
saying it was the alleged greed of Fina that killed her sister. With Ekia Queen accusing Vidman of being a liar who is
21:54
trying to cause more pains to the bereaveved Fina even when he knows her sister just died less than 48 hours ago.
22:02
Earlier before today when the accident victim Ruth Otabbor was still alive, Vid
22:07
Darkman published a video narrating how Fina allegedly betrayed him when Dangote group invited her for possible
22:14
settlement after Vid Darkman and many others in the society took to their social media page to campaign and
22:20
protest over the Dangote truck accident reportedly leading to immediate amputation of the two legs of the female
22:26
victim. Ruth Otabore Vid Darkman said when Fina got the attention of Dangote
22:33
group, Fina sent a message to him that the Dangote group requested that they don't want him Vid Darkman in the
22:39
discussion. An action Vid Darkman considered to be that Fina was the one that betrayed him apparently because of
22:45
money. It is yet to be ascertained if truly the Dangote group rejected Vid Darkman in the discussion. But if the
22:53
claim is confirmed to be true, we believe Solomon Aijio aris may be the
22:58
true definition of the popular saying that police is your friend. If only you are a good character police officer. The
23:05
former inspector general of police. Solomon Ahiji Aris apparently validated
23:10
the afor statement to be true when his death was announced on Sunday August
23:16
31st 2025. The death sparked uncommon good words of condolences from many
23:21
Nigerians. Unlike before, millions of Nigerians make negative comments against
23:27
dead top government officials. But in the case of Aris, millions of Nigerians took to their social media pages and
23:34
comment sections to say good things about the IGP that policed the Nigeria
23:39
states between April 2015 and June 2016. Even human rights activists that always
23:46
talk negative about the Nigeria police force like barrista Adanju Deji was
23:51
among the earliest mourers on Sunday to be at the residence of the late IGP to pay a condolence visit with a tribute
23:58
saying, "May the soul of former IGP Solomon Aris rest in peace. In my about
24:04
20 years of knowing him, he helped us get freedom for many student union leaders and comrades who were unlawfully
24:11
detained. As IGP and after his retirement, we remained close and continued to seek his help whenever
24:18
citizens rights were abused. We also observed that many serving and retired police officers like DCP Alumi were
24:25
adjok to their personal social media accounts to tell the world how good
24:31
Solomon Eijia aris was during and after service. This a Nigerian citizen by name
24:37
Oluassian Oatayo took to the Nigeria Police Force Facebook comment section
24:42
and said, "Hope the current IGP and all other AIGPS and DIGPS and all Nigeria
24:49
police force officers are online and reading comments. Hopefully we would get something like this to be written for
24:56
them too when their own time comes." President Bola Tonubu in a statement
25:01
signed by the presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga condolled with the Nigeria
25:06
Police Force NPF over Solomon Ehiji to aris CFR the 18th indigenous inspector
25:13
general of police IGP who died on Sunday at 69. President Tonubu commiserates
25:20
with the family, friends and associates of the highly resourceful officer. Arisace reforms as IGP and later as
25:27
chairman of the police service commission brought lasting changes to the force. The president acknowledges
25:33
the dedication of the former IGP to enhancing security in the country through initiatives such as the
25:40
