 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.

 Actor Jesse Eisenberg to give kidney to stranger in December 

 Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg announced Thursday that he will donate one of his kidneys to a stranger in an act known as an altruistic kidney donation. The 42-year-old actor, recognized for roles in The Social Network and the Now You See Me films, said the procedure is scheduled for mid-December.

“I’m actually donating my kidney in six weeks,” Eisenberg said during a television interview. He explained that his decision follows years of giving blood and supporting donation efforts, calling the upcoming kidney donation “so exciting” and “essentially risk-free and so needed.” Altruistic kidney donations involve giving a kidney to someone with advanced kidney disease whom the donor does not personally know; these non-directed donations can save lives for recipients anywhere on the transplant list. Eisenberg first considered donating about a decade ago, but was unable to connect with a program at the time. Recently, he spoke with a doctor friend who directed him to NYU Langone Health in New York City, where the surgery will take place. He also enrolled family members in a living kidney donor priority program to ensure they would have access if needed. As of September 2024, around 90,000 people were waiting for a kidney transplant in the United States.
