Nollywood star, Chiamaka Nwokeukwu has confessed love for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The actress made her loving confession for the separatist leader on her Instagram page. The actress wrote, “ I respect Mazi Nnamdi Kanu if you know you know” with 100% emoji to back her emotion.

Many of her followers expressed their displeasure regarding her Instagram post. Queen Endaline Nne was blunt, she said “I love you but this is a no-no, what he instigated in the minds of these hoodlums breaking and vandalizing properties in Onitsha in the name of Biafra ?ﾟ Let’s call a spade a spade, destroying properties we built by our own money, burning police stations and taking all the guns, the citizens are scared, this is not a tribal war, but a fight to save Nigeria as a whole. I would have unfriended you now because of this I swear, Nnamdi Kanu is a problem on his own, let’s learn to do things at the right time and in a peaceful and learned way”

However, the Nollywood actress insisted saying, “Nobody should ever go against that man again I beg you. I’m gonna lose a lot of friends because of this man I swear and I mean it,” she said.

TikTok Sues USA Government Over Trump Ban

TikTok owned by Chinese company ByteDance has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government led by President Donald Trump who had earlier banned the company’s American operations. The lawsuit, was filed today Monday, August 24 2020 in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that Trump’s order violates due process protections and offers no evidence to back up its claims that TikTok presents a national security threat.

“The executive order is not rooted in bona fide national security concerns,” the complaint reads, noting that “independent national security and information security experts have criticized the political nature of this executive order, and expressed doubt as to whether its stated national security objective is genuine.”

TikTok said the Trump administration ignored their extensive efforts to address its concerns, which we conducted fully and in good faith. The popular TikTok also wrote in a press release. “We do not take suing the government lightly, however, we feel we have no choice but to take action to protect our rights, and the rights of our community and employees.”

“Our more than 1,500 employees across the U.S. pour their hearts into building this platform every day,” the company said

President Trump has repeatedly said that TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese internet company ByteDance, poses a national security threat because of its Chinese ties.

On August 6 2020, the USA president signed an executive order banning social media apps TikTok and WeChat from operating in the US in 45 days if they are not sold by their Chinese-owned parent companies. Microsoft then expressed interest in buying TikTok after the USA President had said he would support the sale of TikTok’s US operations to the US company with September 15 set as the deadline for the Chinese company to find a US buyer based on the order.
