President Trump said on Friday that the United States will not be part of the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) summit in South Africa, calling it “a total disgrace.”

“Afrikaners (People who are descended from Dutch settlers, and also French and German immigrants) are being killed and slaughtered, and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.


“No U.S. Government Official will attend as long as these Human Rights abuses continue,” the post also reads. “I look forward to hosting the 2026 G20 in Miami, Florida!”


In May, the White House told federal agencies to stop work with the G20 summit, scheduled for Nov. 22-23. Trump indicated at the time that the U.S. would not participate.

“We’re supposed to have a, I guess a G20 meeting there … I don’t know how we can go unless that situation is taken care of,” Trump said. “But it’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about. But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place. And farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.”

The president focused on claims that Afrikaners, South Africa’s white ethnic minority, have been unfairly targeted. In February, he signed an executive order to put a pause on sending foreign assistance to South Africa, claiming that its government’s actions are “fueling disproportionate violence against radically disfavored landowners.”

Days before Trump issued the executive order, Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on the social platform X that he “will NOT attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg.”

As far as the husband never yet pay Chioma of Edo brideprice, I support Chioma with my full chest.
But if any of my wives try dis rubbish ehh, I no sure say I go fit pay 5 million even if na 100 billion I get.
That 5 million go make more sense for cook new wife soup.

Edo State Police Command has arrested one Chioma Success Adaniken for allegedly kidnapping herself and receiving about N5 million from her husband.

ASP Eno Ikoedem, Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, DPPRO explained in a statement on Monday night that the arrest followed a report at the New Etete Division, Benin City by one Paul Adaniken, suspect’s husband.

He said on 27th October, 2025, Adaniken reported at New Etete Police Division that he left his wife, Chioma Success Ezebie and their 3-year-old son, Andrea Ojiezelabor at home before going to his shop

Later that day, Adaniken said he received a phone call from an unknown person, who informed him that his wife and son had been kidnapped.

The abductors demanded a ransom of five million naira for their release.

On the eve of New York’s well-watched mayoral election, President Donald Trump issued a threat to its voters: stop Zohran Mamdani or pay.

“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad.”

Trump’s comments echo those broadcast on Sunday during his appearance on CBS’s 60 minutes, in which he said: “It’s gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.”

The president does not directly determine how much money any city receives from the federal government; appropriation is the constitutional function of Congress. Control over how money is spent – or withheld in acts of impoundment, which are forbidden under federal law – has become a point of increasing legal contention.

The Trump administration is well on its way toward making good on this threat even before the votes have been counted. The White House began sparring with the state over New York’s plan to enforce congestion pricing for car traffic earlier this year, which Trump revisited in a separate Truth Social post on Monday evening. The White House withheld $18bn for a tunnel project as the government shutdown started. A federal judge ordered the federal government to reverse the rescission about $34m in counterterrorism funding for the New York City, ruling the move as “arbitrary, capricious and a blatant violation of the law”.

Trump’s post described a vote for Mamdani’s fellow candidate Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa as “a vote for Mamdani” and alluded to a preference for the independent candidate, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

“I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE,” Trump wrote.

[/b]Cuomo, who has been a lifelong Democrat but ran in this year’s mayoral race as an independent to bypass the Democratic primary, repeated the president’s line moments after the post while speaking with 77WABC radio.

[b]“Now it’s gonna be up to the Republicans, and I hope they listen to the president,” he said.

In an interview on Fox News later, Cuomo said: “We need a mayor who can stand up to Donald Trump.” He repeated Trump’s threat to stop funding the city and send in the national guard. “Trump will go through Mamdani like a hot knife through butter,” Cuomo said.

Later on Monday, Mamdani responded publicly to Trump’s remarks at a campaign event in Astoria, Queens, saying that he had known “for months” that Trump would support Cuomo.

“In these final days, what was rumored, what was feared, has become, naked and unabashed,” he said, according to the New York Times. “The Maga movement’s embrace of Andrew Cuomo is reflective of Donald Trump’s understanding that this would be the best mayor for him – not the best mayor for New York City, not the best mayor for New Yorkers, but the best mayor for Donald Trump and his administration.”

Mamdani also noted that he would “address that threat for what it is: it is a threat. It is not the law.

“And too often, we treat everything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth as if it is already legal, just by virtue of who is saying it.”

He later added: “This funding is not something that Donald Trump is giving us here in New York City. This is something that we are, in fact, owed in New York.”

Recent polling suggests that Mamdani has at least a 10 point lead over both opponents. Atlas Intel poll ending 30 October shows Mamdani leading with 41% in support, compared to Cuomo with 34% support and Sliwa getting 24% support.

There is a Sahara Reporters story that President Tinubu is going to the US on Tuesday to see US Vice President J.D Vance. That story is not true. I can see that the fake news by Sahara has become the basis for some uninformed commentaries since yesterday. If President Tinubu is going to the White House, he won't be going to see a Vice President.

Nigerians will still vote Tinubu out in 2027 general election.

The PDP faction, supported by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the FCT, has declared the suspension of both the National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and five additional members of the NWC.

During a press briefing in Abuja on Saturday, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, speaking on behalf of the factional National Working Committee (NWC) of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), revealed that Mohammed Abdulrahman, the National Vice Chairman for the North Central region, has been appointed as the Acting National Chairman of the party.

He said, “Unfortunately, some people may say that the National Secretary, National Organising Secretary who has the responsibility of monitoring everything and the National Legal Adviser, who is responsible for all legal issues, were purportedly suspended.

“On this note, we decided to suspend the National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Ilya Damagum, for incompetence, financial misconduct, and disregard for court judgment. He has been suspended for one month and should face the Disciplinary Committee.

“Secondly, we also suspended the National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, for issuing statements without the party’s approval, and the Deputy National Vice Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, has also been suspended.

“The National Financial Secretary, Daniel Woyenguikoro, who has been involved in alleged financial misconduct, has also been suspended.

“The National Youth Leader, Sulaiman Kadade, and the Deputy National Secretary, Setonji Koshoedo, have also been suspended for 30 days. All of them will be sent to the Disciplinary Committee to show cause why they should not be expelled.

“Therefore, we are announcing the National Vice Chairman (North Central) to serve as the Acting National Chairman, Mohammed Abdulrahman
