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

16:40
Until his present appointment, he was

17:24
The company made the denial based on the
17:26
report made available by the Enugu State
17:29
Command of the Nigeria Police Force that
17:32
the two trucks involved in the accidents
17:34
were owned by Visco Investment Global

9:00 in the morning claiming six lives
17:57

September 2025 along the Azala four
18:43
corner axis of the jewel carriage Enugu
18:48
The crashes claimed 10 lives and left 10
18:50
others hospitalized. The first incident,
18:53
a multiple vehicle crash, happened at
18:56
about 9:00 a.m. on the Enugu inwardbound
18:58
lane. A hollow truck inscribed Visco
19:02
Investment Global and laden with bags of
19:04
white cement was on route Abuja from
19:06
Abba Abby estate when it collided with a
19:09
Toyota Corolla car that was attempting
19:11
to overtake another truck on the same
19:13
route. A Photon bus and a Dhatsu Hyjet
19:17
mini bus, both driving one way, were
19:19
also caught in the collision. Sadly, the
19:22
truck head and the Toyota Corolla car
19:25
went up in flames with five occupants of
19:27
the car burning to death. A passenger in
19:30
the mini bus was equally confirmed dead
19:32
by the attending medical doctor.
19:35
Similarly, at about 300 p.m. on the same
19:37
road, another fatal crash occurred. This
19:41
time it involved a sino truck belonging
19:43
to global investment and a tricycle. The
19:46
truck laden with cement and driving one
19:49
way from Geriki Anugu to Nenway in

20:30
Ahmed Tonubu has said that the West
20:32
Africa country has no fear over whatever
20:34
the president of the United States
20:37
Donald Trump is doing. Although the
20:39
Nigeria president did not give details
20:41
what the US president is doing that the
20:44
nation has no fear of. But President

21:32
worked hard to reduce the foreign
21:34
exchange rate from 1,900 naira to 1,450

naira per $1. A claim we fact check to
21:43
be very incorrect. We observed that

President Bola Tonubu on May 29th, 2023
21:49
met foreign exchange rate at 461 naira
21:53
per $1. On the day of his inauguration,

22:18
increased the foreign exchange rate from

461 naira to 750 naira per $1 in his

22:38
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu pegged and
22:41
increased the foreign exchange rate from
22:43
750 naira to 1,500 naira per $1. This
22:49
policy action of the president has since
22:51
made cost of food stuffs and other basic
22:53
necessities in Nigeria to increase
22:56
outrageously more than 700% with no
22:59
reduction till date. like a sache water
23:02
