 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,” ...

HELEN MIRREN REVEALS THE 'LITTLE CHANGES' THAT HAVE HELPED HER 'EMBRACE AGEING' AS SHE APPROACHES 80.(PHOTO).


 Helen Mirren reveals the 'little changes' that have helped her 'embrace ageing' as she approaches 80


Dame Helen Mirren is using her platform to encourage people in midlife to adopt small, sustainable lifestyle habits that can make a big difference later on. 


Partnering with Age UK’s Act Now, Age Better campaign, she explained that embracing ageing rather than fearing it has been key for her. 


Simple practices like walking, yoga, and maintaining a positive outlook have helped her stay active, continue working, and avoid major health complications. 


She emphasized that ageing inevitably comes with challenges, but preparing early can help preserve independence.


Age UK’s campaign highlights how even modest amounts of exercise can lower risks of dementia, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes, while also improving balance and overall wellbeing. 


The charity compares regular movement to “paying into a physical pension plan,” stressing that daily habits play as important a role as genetics in how we age. 


Their survey found that nearly half of adults aged 50 to 65 feel they don’t exercise enough, with health issues, lack of fitness, and busy schedules cited as barriers. 


That’s why the focus is on manageable routines like short walks or yoga sessions that fit into everyday life.


Mirren’s own routine gained attention when her 12-minute workout, originally developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force, went viral online. She insists it’s never too late to start, and that even small steps can make a meaningful difference. 


Age UK’s chief executive, Paul Farmer, echoed this, noting that physical activity in any form supports both mental and physical health. 


The message is clear: incorporating regular movement into daily life is one of the best investments we can make to sustain independence and wellbeing as we grow older.
