 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.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon will join pretrial program after reckless driving charge

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has been approved to enter a pretrial program to resolve a reckless driving charge from a crash in Connecticut this summer.

A state Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that McMahon can join the program if he makes a $1,000 charitable donation and drives only while properly licensed and insured. If he meets these conditions, the reckless driving charge and an additional charge for following too closely will be dismissed in one year.

The incident occurred on July 24 on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, where McMahon rear-ended a BMW, damaged a wooden guardrail, and caused debris to fly into the southbound lanes, striking another vehicle. His Bentley was destroyed, and two other cars were damaged. No one was injured, and the other drivers did not object to his entry into the program.

McMahon did not speak at the hearing. His attorney, Mark Sherman, said afterward, “Not every car accident is a crime. That’s what happened here, an accident.”

McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO in 2022 during an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also resigned last year as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, following a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by a former WWE employee. McMahon has denied the claims, and the lawsuit remains pending.

McMahon purchased the World Wrestling Federation in 1982, building it into a global entertainment powerhouse. He ran the company alongside his wife, Linda, now the U.S. education secretary, and occasionally appeared at WWE events as himself.
