 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership,” ...

 Governor Zulum Criticizes Leaders for Ignoring Polygamy in IDP Camps


Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has expressed concern over the rise of polygamy in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, where some individuals have taken multiple wives despite struggling to provide for their families.


In a viral video shared on social media, particularly on TikTok by Kawu Garba, Governor Zulum criticized both state and national politicians for avoiding the issue, fearing it might cost them votes during elections.


“The question is, which Islamic leader has spoken out against this? Which politician has opposed this situation?” Zulum asked.


“All they say is, ‘I won’t speak out.’ They are more focused on campaigning and winning elections. They refuse to address the issue because they fear the IDPs might vote against them.”


Zulum pointed to an example of a man who arrived at the camp in 2011 or 2012 with one wife but now has four, highlighting the economic burden this creates for the state.


The Governor’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions from TikTok users:


Ken Musa Ehi: “You need to start educating them.”


Truth Matters: “At last, we have a true leader in Prof Zulum who isn’t afraid to speak the truth, no matter the political cost.”


B-B: “And you allowed him to remain in the camp?”


Whale V: “If more people in that region spoke out like him, the people would start to realize they’re on the wrong path.”


Capt Imran: “If you have the means, marry as you wish, but don’t add unnecessary burdens to society. I don’t like the Almajiri system, and if I had the power, I would work to stop it.
