such rebecca, nice. so why, but i want to go back to the idea. like, i don't have any reason. there's no reason that's nothing for me this. yeah, i believe something that is coming very, very soon on. we know when the story in for migrate reliable, nice her migraines, wherever they may be, the hello and welcome to another edition of the 77 percent. this is a program where we do the platform to advocates, youth to help all the things that are important to them. i'm your host, my facility. now all over the world economies on not doing that great. but especially on the continent. we are still dealing with the after shots of the covered 19 pandemic, as well as the wall in ukraine. the house disrupted global supply chains, not missed all of these shots. young people are showing

a mass resilience and that's what's today's program. it's all about coming up on the show. we discover how the high cost of living, inc. pena is wilson, young entrepreneurs to miss huff choices. illegals, young, made us assess the performance of the government in our speed to be and be close off with a trip designs to buy the best place of tablets and city cmc sites. call the 19 locked downs, have se via impact on offer, kind of caught on these lots of people lost their livelihoods because of looked downs. it was not just the low balance, but also the month for boots globally dropped, meaning that most economies does depend on exports. where also affect us as a result, many businesses are struggling, but as

a tough times make tough people less, that's a 10. yeah. well, my colleague is kamani fine south from enter pin this how the surviving these hot ties on a cold morning and the outskirts of ne ruby laptop slots. the apartments, the trends, melody 10 i got, and the share, the 3 creative on to bring us take the time to catch up as we prepare breakfast. and of course, the because the experience for social media just over a year ago, the 20 something year olds chose to relocate outside the capital as a way to save money and to escape the speeches killed. however, the country, we simply doubled the tax and fuel increased health insurance and introduced the housing levy. these changes have thrown the house switch plans off costs and now they're making some tough decisions. when he gets like a really good giggle to get a really good income,

we shuffle many things in bulk. maybe it's just better we don't size and move, but today will be the increased cost of living is also affecting the interactions with $1.00 another. i can't express how we haven't gotten to better space that's communicating with the fight, seeing whether it's at work, whether someone has done something wrong. we've gotten to a place where i can have a discussion about each and the points it wants to make. one of us wants to move with the next month. the financial pressure for young people in the country is being felt beyond this apartment, latest government, because we view the highest number of those unemployed in kenya of between 20 to 24 years old. for those, it's limited options on to government. protests have become a critical way to get the voices heard for tgm police. however, the response to the toughening economic times has been to get tough for the couple of photographer and may come on just having to dig deeper to keep the business afloat. i just have that changed,

i having to putting more capital just to keep the business funding. definitely because that's some cheap maker products. sure. like over the counter products that you get to select, is it truly worth how you want to make up to look, you know, just thinking about how you have to save you money and moving around? no, you really don't want to look at the luxury things and say, oh, i'm going to go to this and then come back home and worry about rental you bought food. cuz obviously the money is not enough to do both. at times. the couple has now decided to go into retail, opening an online shop itself, jewelry as a way to supplement that income. so there we have, it's the story of tv, and he's the one that came out have been able to retain that own home and live independently right now. but i'm going to speak to a young person who tells me he also had to move cities as well. as houses and move back to his mom's house because of how, how does things have gotten economically for them? we meet off the tongue just as he arrives that he's real estate office. he's been

working here for a few months since he moved back to a ruby of to his contract job in another city came to an end. i'm trying to establish myself like getting over here on the rental space. i used to have the price was almost one and a half times higher. and now i'm trying to establish my self or gaining day that the real estate space and hopefully make enough clients to, you know, keep my plans on track. you also have to make some tough decisions regarding your housing. tell me about that when you are leaving under your, your partner and through these notes. there's a lot much new way to do what you want. so, you know, in terms of like relationships and, you know, friendships and, and situations of the sorts that helps you know, create your own space and your own nice, why you don't have to, you know, be looking heads and you'll find us, we leave it's apartments, but despite the stories of hardship as a commitment from young people to do one thing, somebody was talking about tough decisions. the nigerian government in june this year decided to en,

for subsidies. subsidize in full cost the country. $10000000000.00 entering between 2. and the government says, well, it's simply cannot afford it anymore. that's decision coupled with high unemployment, it squeeze in money out of pocket. the 77 percent the trouble to illegals, where it is to money met young. my students will told her how they viewed the countries attempts out of comic recovery. hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in nigeria, and this country is president when he was elected on the 29th may of 2023 and having to an economy in dire straits in the months since he's been in power. well enough to know who has right to take measures to uplift, always substitute for that economy. but the young people of this country a thing that their pockets are still not able to sustain what the country is demanding. and so today we are asking is

a government able to come to that age when day in crisis? so let me start this conversation by introducing 20 unders, who is an economist. can you just paint a picture of what the economy looks like right now? inflation is really high of a dollar to the now or is um, is now close to a 1000. are it used to be 200 and uh, maybe another 6 years ago? so you can just imagine what it is, the effects on the average everyday person spock it. so it's, it's, it is a situation where a lot of people are really going through it and it doesn't look like there is any hope on the rise. and because the government and trying to, you know, get the funds to be able to fix the issues are also removing things like subsidies on petrol, uh, subsidies on gas subsidies on their electricity. so it's making it more difficult for niger and so actually exist. okay, one of the reports i read said the 12 percent of the population living in the absolute poverty is you're in a julia and that really surprised me. you told me, are you seeing a difference since, you know,

as life of getting tougher for people and your agenda listened, you'll covering these issues. what is changing in the, in the society? no, that's for subsidy. as me remove these ethics and the cost of production. and then to renew the needs that has need to copy. so now can kind of all the ones that come up to, it's not even enough to do his business. so it gets worse. now people, the, the gap between the poor and the reach is why didn't people that used to be in the middle class. i've gone now to, to know what class, because of this change. the soul could change something that was supposed to help us has made everything was let me hear from the people in the audience. how has your life changed in the last couple of years? are you feeling the economic burden? these are pretty tough to me. everything like when you go to the market to get any pay one, everything is just just too expensive. the house rate has increased. we as a, i used to pay a 1.5 on the islands,

but now they've increased it to 2000000. look the jet because the don't kid the own need to survive to understand the apart. but then we had to, we get those money from a have a son. i have to feed my son. i have to, i have to just pick up 3 jobs to be able to meet the right to be. so you wanted to say something to me. we just come mazda, of covey nights in, and we hole on this ton of what's happened during the that's the standing the then you as last job, you know, lots of, um, then i say shooting days will close down because the, the coupons continuing to operate. but then all the sweat knots can see that i told what the government puts in place, what the system government puts in place to be able you know it. so how do you must said, do i do time like days, but then that is not send nothing that's been done. yeah, i'd like you to answer this for me because you're in politics. and the reality is that the government must 1st i'd meet that each political parties miss management

of the economy has created a situation which has led to the for subsidy removal. the argument that they have made is that it is driven by 5th. and the fact that they cannot fund projects, but unfortunately, you haven't seen this criminals who have been stealing from a commonwealth. and the has hardly been any prosecution of the so called criminals . so leaving expenses have skyrocketed because the biggest price shock that any economy can take its energy, right? if the cost of energy continues to hit, the roof will continue to create poverty to a point poverty. right? so uh, but you've said something really interesting, which is that the knock on effects of this, it's driving people into desperation, into serious, serious poverty. but 20, i'm coming back to you with the same question i started with. why is this happening in nigeria? you know, we, how is it possible that we're still talking again, subsidizing fuel in an oil rich country. those 2 things don't seem to belong at the

same sentence. but general context is when an economy is in a bad state, like the one niger is in, from years and decades of, you know, bad mismanagement, you know, policy mismatch, you know, raisins theft it's, we'll need to take some hard, hard decisions major as glossing here, not by one decision, no by one bad president is guarding here by several bad actors. come bringing us here continuously. so the question is, what do we do to fix it? if we're really as excited all really as passion is about making i do at best, i think the real job is in holding government accountable. hold on, let me, let me actually ask the person who is in a position. how do you hold the government accountable? you're relaxing here with you. i mean, we're joe, can you kind of hold these people to account? what's the, what's the coins? so the people shouting does, will goodman a comfortable actual singing songs,

you'll kind of hold them to account just to driving the s u. v. 's with the outcome for executive flying 1st class. definitely not pointing hundreds of eats and flying them across the world for meetings. so we're choking. so if it's really a joke, why you in a position in politics, if you really think nothing can change just my argument is we need to begin to think, you know, own self interest that citizens because the politicians take care of themselves every time, 7 days, a week twice on sunday. we have to think self be 75, so i don't understand. we have our own self interest lives. that's why i'm excited about the young people who are fighting for low school fees. yeah. pursuing that one's self interest because the politicians would always take care of themselves. let me hear from give me a 2nd. let me just give me a 2nd to, to hear from us. and because you mentioned self interest and monitoring has actually been arrested for criticizing the government. correct? so correct. that's correct, but i, i wanted to really disagree with iowa because um, when you talk about accounts. okay, is it been removed?

his glasses are serious, not very talk about so it didn't governments like counseling, but we've seen a lot of progress in terms of who didn't governments accountable. so for example, what we are doing here and expressing ourselves governmentally since we also who's in governments are comfortable saying, listen, the subsidy. you removed your, your digits in the very spot on hogwash, we use with the fixed refineries festival. so that's, we come through just but you can. so i liked that because it brings us really nicely into some solutions, right. if you had the chance to be in those top offices today, what would you do to change things around? it's giving gen z. let's hear what you have to say. you know, that's something that's constructive criticism. i feel like we, a citizen should be allowed to constructively, could decide to go from the governments without being condemned. busy, what's the, what's the, the pop click you say you should be quest. see that us need a motion which will be saying that's tricked the thing. and finally, the people which, which is the most important factor in this entire conversation,

need to realize that the people who i government are no gods they came out from us . they need to be held accountable. okay, i think that is a beautiful place to wind up. it was a very complex question that i asked, but i think to do, you have to write to somebody up really nicely and i don't the, at anything the for you for watching. i thank you always. and so you next time the listening to those young people, i feel really inspired because they are willing to take home the government and hold them accountable. thank you very much. it is and the entire panel because that's what this is all about. just remember that if you want to see the full version of that street debate, you can go on to our youtube channel. now we've had from the young people in

legals box, this income paula, johannes, back and across the continents future this and they have ideas on how to improve the current economic situation. so let's see of them. how you can set up meant to, to not tax the small businesses until a specific time when they have grown and being able to employ a big number of what cousins in the congress, the taxes, the government could use on the costs of the education. so as or they need to get access to education, their minds when the minds anybody that they are different it to get to be was they don't want to, you know, on a v. i think the longer ins plan can be for different students. that complex, that does studying different things, if it could be made available for them in different 6 of you know, to the professions at this setting, to attend fellowships or trainings and the different germs that they're doing to do

after studying all countries suffering from a lot of craziness. so the people who have like high powers politicians and the government, they're not opening up spaces and channels and gauging. they use jobs, i think coming indexing students really for the thought to see some changes. so that is a huge changes or the advocacy just hoping for the best. there's money in the country. there is no money where i didn't get to that money to travel outside country to while buying new cars. everybody's got to getting that money from the economy. so, but at the moment it's almost money's anymore, maintained at this and nothing seems to infuse, right, so i don't mean that kind of get changed at the moment. maybe some america or something. i guess perhaps we don't really need a miracle because a while ago i interviewed interpreters of the african gym on young lead us and business. all i dial for them here in bell. and this is

a collection of young ceos who run small and medium sized enterprises or assemblies . and according to the world bank estimates account for most of the businesses created world wide be crucial for creating jobs, us and the showing economic development. so what did they make of the current economic situation on the continent, and how the situation can pretend around be cut off with 2 business leaders. and here are the thoughts. what we could be doing is transmitting the middle part, which is the 2nd 3, and that's as a manufacturing. and if you connect that to the importance of, for example, food items. and so you notice that manufacturing, it's something i mean developed countries, how invest that it says display function, but so we need that stick, touch african governments, you, most of cities, you can do this may be

a very unpopular political decision. the reason is the subsidies often just talk to market and kind of leads to in the future in africa wanting. that is ladies that subsidies most likely beneficially to rich. for example, subsidies on the floor. bill having a repeated kindly effect on the economy may not direct to the benefit of the poor who do not come june to, besides subsidies, car results in overall close option of setting who's leading to resource nissan location. so we're moving subsidies, country up resources for more kids, a guy who is like huge occasion health care and infrastructure. the last point is quite controversial, but also listening to gully. he's opened up a new perspective on subsidies, but what do you think now away from the economy? i want you to meet marie, i'm silly mind. she is a self both visual office based in mombasa, who creates style in $1.00,

join on the cultural and artistic nelson port all this while he closed the 27 year old. now con buses the city's most visited venue. but wait, what i'm on dallas, that's fine altogether. it doesn't mean secret circle in ancient sense. greek via popular across asia. but this $1.00 is getting an african me callback and the touch of local swahili sleep. but the one thing is the, the exit. i get is a plus a this, we mean by that is the guys said as done this and no outcome one side yet in wasa. so it's always a this beneath the creative mind behind the stunning drawings is 27 year old mary, i'm superman. she's a soft talk. mandela artist, from the coastal city of mombasa, in kenya. maria, i'm learned about the ation on the phone in 2015 as an interior design student at

china. she's young university since then, the artist, as most of the art adding an african twist and a touch of this. let me quote, an ultima buses by pin was little community. so basically when the, when you look on mondays, they have this beautiful lake for like flow of buttons, which is also cool months. the meanest lumnick. in fact, a lot of is let me visual art has 3 key characteristics. carol, motif, geometric design and calligraphy. however, it's strictly a to use to the principle, any connection, which is the probably the vision of imagery is to give me a 2021. maybe i'm spend 12 days at one buses by been coming marketing on market, bringing it to light. it was her 1st major project and now i'm and dallas has become as much of the attraction as this feature of the market. mombasa has a rich cultural heritage shape on the launch of many different ethnic groups,

cultures, and languages. for maria, the city is never showed of inspiration the so now you seem on buses, $1.00 spot, stay with me. i want to take you. tucson is the best store in town. oh, as the locals call, it's in g, including great. that's about as far off times and yes, certainly autonomous region and it is rich in history. i see all of this estimates about stone town has been inhabited from the 5th century. it is little one that the city is bremen with history and culture. is want to know more of got the rides guide. city. amena is a musician and local tourism and best setup. hello. i'm see see i mean all the way from 0 and you are watching dw, 77 percent and this is mine,
