 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.

  White House uses Spider-Man for immigration enforcement post

The White House has used an image of Spider-Man in a social media post promoting the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sparking criticism from fans and calls for possible legal action.


The post, shared through the White House’s official social media account, depicts the Marvel superhero using his web to capture people described by the administration as “criminal illegal aliens.” The image was accompanied by the caption, “Your friendly neighborhood ICE agents,” referencing Spider-Man’s well-known description as the “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.”


The post has drawn reactions from some fans who questioned the use of the Marvel character in an immigration enforcement campaign. Some commenters called on Marvel, Disney and Sony to take legal action over the image. The post comes shortly after the release of Spider-Man: A Brand New Day, adding to the attention surrounding the White House’s use of the character.


The administration has previously used popular culture and music in posts supporting its immigration policies. Several musicians and entertainers have publicly objected to their music being used in political or pro-ICE content.


Among those who have criticised the administration’s use of their music are Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Rihanna and Sabrina Carpenter.


A number of other celebrities, including Pedro Pascal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Eva Longoria and Tyler, the Creator, have also publicly expressed opposition to ICE’s immigration enforcement policies. The latest Spider-Man post has also prompted speculation about whether stars associated with the current film franchise, including Tom Holland and Zendaya, will respond to the White House’s use of the character.
