🚨 UPDATE: Florida police release a statement after a family claims that police were called on their 3-year-old son because he was "too good" at soccer. Video footage shows a 3-year-old soccer prodigy dominating a group of 5-year-olds in Winter Park, Florida. "They called the police on a three-year-old because he's too good... because he had the ball for too long and nobody else can get the ball so they called the police on him," the family claimed in the video. The Winter Park Police Department has since released a statement saying they were called about a "disturbance" between league officials and the player's parents. "The Winter Park Police Department was contacted by a soccer league official who requested response to a disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player," they said. "The league requested the family leave and offered to refund the league cost to family. Shortly after arrival, the officers were requested by the league official to communicate with the family as he did not want to further a disturbance." "The family stated the game was over and they were leaving. The family was cooperative with the officers and were provided with an event number for the incident at their request." "The incident was a civil matter between those parties and not criminal. No one was arrested, trespassed, or forced to leave the park. The Officers body worn cameras confirm the above information." WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?

What is happening right now is a viral false video. Multiple fact-checkers today, October 30, 2026, have traced the clip being shared on X and Facebook: - The video shows a man pointing a gun at a speaker at a podium who is then tackled by security. - It is not Netanyahu. It is Bulgarian politician Ahmed Dogan, leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, during his party congress in Sofia on January 19, 2013. The weapon was a gas pistol that misfired and Dogan was unharmed. - Reverse image searches and contemporaneous BBC, AP and Guardian coverage from 2013 confirm the incident. - No Israeli media, government statement, or international wire is reporting an attack on Netanyahu in Tel Aviv. Google News searches show no such reports. The false claim spiked after Israel's October 27 election, with posts saying Netanyahu was attacked in Tel Aviv and is being flown to the US, that claim has been rated False. If you saw a video with the caption Breaking: dangerous attack on @netanyahu , that's the recycled 2013 Bulgaria clip.

When Mr. Peter Obi the presidential candidate of NDC said whether on the Air, on the land ,or on the sea that he will campaign everywhere, some people think he is joking. See Mr. Peter Obi in Bayelsa with the supreme leader on the sea.

BREAKING: Angry Imolite Dismantles Road Sign Named After Ganduje for celebrating with Okorocha An angry Imolite was seen destroying a billboard of a road named after Ganduje after the latter was seen celebrating with Rochas Okorocha, aftermath the court verdict on the Imo Governor. The lone Imolite can be heard in the video complaining that Ganduje is a betrayer who made himself available and has since become the only personality seen publicly rejoicing with Okorocha, despite the Imo Governor having honored him by naming a road in the state capital after him. He said: "After Everything anyi mere ya na Imo State, oya wu the first person gara congratulate Rochas" ("After everything we did to him in Imo State, he was the first person that went and congratulated Rochas Okorocha). ...as he went on to call him unprintable names. Me: we do not support violence or taking of laws into one's hands. We continue to urge all our supporters to be law abiding and not take laws into their hands.

FG to begin Construction of the Lekki Green Line Metro in December 2026 starting from Phase 1A (Lekki phase 1- Sangotedo station), Lagos State 🇳🇬 Lagos is moving closer to expanding its urban rail network as the Federal Government targets December 2026 for the commencement of construction of the Lekki Green Line Metro, a major railway project designed to connect Lagos Island with the rapidly developing Lekki and Ibeju-Lekki corridors. The proposed Green Line is part of the Lagos Strategic Transport Master Plan, an ambitious initiative aimed at improving mass transportation and providing more efficient connections between different parts of the state. The railway is expected to cover approximately 69.7 kilometres, running from Marina on Lagos Island to the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Ibeju-Lekki, with 17 proposed stations along the corridor. Some of the locations along the planned route include Marina, Civic Centre, Lekki Phase 1, Freedom Way, Jakande Market, Chevron, Ajah, Ogombo, Sangotedo, Lakowe, Eleko, Ibeju, Lekki Airport and the Lekki Free Trade Zone. One of the major developments is the planned commencement of Phase 1A, covering the Lekki First Toll Gate to Sangotedo section. This is the initial section identified in the latest project update, with construction targeted to begin in December 2026. The engineering design of the Green Line also makes it an interesting infrastructure project. Rather than running entirely on elevated bridges, the proposed railway will combine elevated and ground-level sections. Approximately 11.9 kilometres will be elevated, while about 57.8 kilometres will run at ground level. The railway is also being designed around modern eight-car train sets, with a projected maximum operating speed of 100 kilometres per hour and an estimated passenger capacity of 35,000 people per hour in each direction. Beyond providing another means of transportation, the project is expected to address some of the mobility challenges along the Lekki-Epe corridor, where population growth, residential estates, commercial activities and industrial developments have increased pressure on existing road infrastructure. Its proposed connection with the existing Blue Line at Marina is another important feature. This will create an opportunity for passengers to transfer between the two railway systems, gradually improving connectivity across different parts of Lagos. The economic implications could also extend beyond transportation. Improved access to residential and commercial districts could support business activities, create employment opportunities and encourage further investment around railway stations. Its planned extension towards the Lekki Free Trade Zone is particularly significant because the area is emerging as an important industrial and commercial destination, with major developments such as the Lekki Deep Sea Port and other industrial investments. On the financing side, the Federal Government provided counterpart funding provisions of ₦146.14 billion in the 2025 budget and ₦102.3 billion in the 2026 budget for the project. In April 2026, the Federal Executive Council approved contracts for the Lagos Green Line, Kano Metro City Rail and Kaduna Light Rail projects, with the three projects collectively estimated at approximately $3 billion. The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) is central to the state’s rail development programme, while the Federal Government is involved in the financing arrangements. China Harbour Engineering Company has been identified as the contractor for the Green Line project. When completed, the proposed 70-kilometre railway will represent an important addition to Lagos’ transportation infrastructure, particularly for communities and businesses along the Lekki corridor. More importantly, it reflects the growing need for cities to develop transportation systems alongside population growth, housing expansion and industrial development.

One good thing about history is that it has a way of deleting nonsense. You see the way Dave Umahi and Chukwuma Soludo are claiming to be a match and in the same pedestal with Peter Obi? When the roll call of their generation is called they will not be able to appear in the same sentence with Obi. If you've ever read books on political history, you will understand how brutal history is, in not recording nonsense. Even some of the people hailing the likes of Umahi and Soludo today may need to drop Peter Obi's name to advance their political causes. And the reason is simple, Obi has paid a bigger price than the duo can ever pay in politics. Soludo became CBN Governor and was able to in a short while purchase a house of £2.1m in London as far back as 2006. Umahi owns almost a village in Ebonyi and numerous acquisitions just because he became Governor. The duo has lost nothing to be in politics. However, for the past 4 years, Peter Obi has taken on the entire Nigeria's dangerous and corrupt political establishment, and has pushed them against the wall. This is something the duo of Soludo and Umahi can never attempt. Have you wondered why when anyone who wants to or becomes the Governor of Imo state mentions Late Sam Mbakwe? It doesn't mean that the man didn't face opposition during his time, but it's because history will always separate the wheat from the chaff. The same applies to some of the names in African politics that history accords a golden place, Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah, Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Julius Nyerere, Aminu Kano, others. The duo of Soludo and Umahi have eaten their cakes, and are still fighting to have it. But unfortunately for them those who have eaten their cakes only make it to the history books as villains, not heroes! --- @kinslic

Peter Obi will not stop at the airport to address you people, talk about how there is no electricity at the airport, and then jet back to Abuja within ten minutes of addressing you. Do you see how he is visiting all the states in Nigeria? This is a sign of a committed leader who holds the interests of Nigerians to heart and will not turn the UK and France into his second home. Remember when Tinubu visited Jos following the deadly attacks in Plateau State? He met community representatives near the airport and reportedly told them, “You have no light here, I'll fly out in ten minutes.” Nigerians, the ball is in your court. Will you join the boat of prosperity and fight for your country's freedom from the hands of politicians who don't think you're worth their time, or will you fold your hands and endure more years of bad leadership under the APC? ~ @UtomiPat x.com/NigeriaNDCHQ/s…

This is the kind of leadership Nigeria needs. Thank you PO @PeterObi for going to the grassroots to listen, not just to speak. Your stop at Nkalagu and Ezillo, especially interacting with our market women, shows you understand where the real economy lives. And giving a voice to persons living with disabilities in Abakaliki is true compassion in action. You captured the heart of the issues: insecurity, corruption, bad hospitals and schools, and most importantly, restoring dignity to all Nigerians. Your promise of one functional PHC per ward, uniting the country, tackling insecurity and investing in education and health is exactly what gives us hope. A New Nigeria is truly POssible! Ebonyi has spoken.

I commend people like Nyesom Wike when he talks about the Rainbow Coalition. As I leave here now, I'm going back to Imo State, and we are going to start the Rainbow Coalition in Imo State. We will bring the PDP to support Tinubu to win. Some people will step down their position to make sure we achieve our common goal. Hope cannot carry Imo State. It's only in Abuja /Villa that Hope Uzodimma exists. - Former Governor Rochas Okorocha

One of the beautiful things about Peter Obi is that his supporters are not the kind of people you can intimidate. The energy in this video is extraordinary. Nigeria will definitely be OK in 2027.

At the opening of the Elevate Africa Convening 2026 in Accra, hosted by His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri, I emphasised that Africa’s future prosperity depends on a clear vision, deliberate development planning and purposeful leadership. The experiences of countries such as Singapore and India offer valuable lessons. Singapore pursued a national development vision anchored in merit, pragmatism, integrity and inclusivity, ensuring that opportunities were not limited by ethnic, religious or regional differences. India, on its part, invested deliberately in research-driven universities and scientific capacity, cultivating the talent and innovation that have strengthened its economy and expanded its influence in global technology. Africa must draw lessons from these experiences and develop strategies suited to its own realities and aspirations. We must invest in quality, technology-driven education that equips our young people with the knowledge, skills and creativity to drive innovation, create wealth, build productive economies and generate sustainable employment. Our responsibility is not merely to address the challenges of today, but to lay a solid foundation for our children, grandchildren and generations yet unborn. On the questions of reparations, championed by Ghana’s President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, and the broader call for debt relief, I stressed the importance of a coordinated and pragmatic African approach. Through the African Union, our leaders must work towards a common position that reflects our shared interests, strengthens our negotiating capacity and ensures that Africa speaks with clarity and purpose on these critical issues. Africa’s progress will require more than aspirations; it demands vision, strategic investment, institutional coordination and a sustained commitment to the future of our people. By aligning our development priorities and speaking with a common voice on matters of continental importance, we can advance Africa’s interests with greater coherence and impact. -GEJ
