6:33 pm

6:34 pm
a plug things in this thing does this region talking about books and so that's also you know the challenge in a competition when it comes to oh. he says it's this intense competition that took pear was in many books that's from a book called to succeed. you know course starts at the gym fifteen years ago and forms it's himself what a feat he says to give the kids here hope for a better future. over here most of the boys on the street from the street and if you want to take them out on the street to come visit. you will go to the gym and register them being a took in a remote. part of judah called you out i will bring them to the gym you called the new putting your feet might give the money to get some food or get something to support themselves to become more and difficult for you also to know how to keep
6:35 pm
helping other people but others well we all choose to do no coolpix one day the boys who make it big will come back to help the jam and the community. but all feliks con fink about right now is what's he going to achieve beyond a book called. i want to be a return to life. i want to be achieved. going to be going to i'm going. to fly to new golden boy. for now it's a dream to cease to the streets he calls home. will be sure to bring feet expect on many bags he's first major title or right so jimmy as president by is in ethiopia and i want to talk about europe's relationship with africa here because my is a visit to ethiopia is essentially an endorsement to prime minister needs reform agenda so is europe saying to africa do what we like and will bring the money is
6:36 pm
that the case and if that is the case is it fair and then it begs the question has europe changed the way it deals with africa now face this have a listen to to what the german president had to say when he was talking about ethiopia. i've come to a country that has changed a country that is rising and removing itself and i believe i can speak for everyone visiting here with me that we have tremendous respect for what still has to be done we have a courage it took you to begin beast reforms. all right i want to bring in j.j. more joy he's a blogger and political commentator from nigeria he's in our studio. for us j.j. it's good to see you so we're talking about you know real reform and investment and we just heard from the german president talking about the changes that they're seen in ethiopia and how happy they are about it but i wanted to get your sense of whether or not you feel that this is the right way to go about approaching africa
6:37 pm
in this way. i think there's a bit of you that says. there's a bit over that his people critical because are doing thing that germany should be in a place to throw or to african countries if you do would do this i think. investing in a country should be based on your own interests and i think it's often based on individual interests that seem to not qualify you to reward for good governance is unfair of course to take a we from do you for that are being happy and here are the reasons being open political prisoners being freed the people for. the two parts we retreat from it's an election i think anything very very beautiful please demi is going to be invested in you need to be based on also misuse of good governance already. done looks like germany has refused to grew it we're from it's part and i used to be you
6:38 pm
should just like most of the west weeks weeks off without so i don't think that's a good reason to come into our free call you to hear i think you really should always be or not equal level relationships because something good is happening welcome you know because your your dream reforms or your you know reasons these are not something large and he should be telling us ok all right take a point there but i want you to stay on the line because i want us to play a statement by the deputy prime minister of if you have a listen to that and then we'll pick up with the conversation. if you are right now wants to show some courage it must have the strength to face the issue of the cold in isolation of africa i'm tired of talking about the effects of migration i want to start tackling the causes. of the causes of the lack of development in african countries for the youth because instead of helping them in africa we must leave them in peace. ok just so we're hearing the italian deputy prime minister saying you know france's involvement in in parts of west
6:39 pm
africa is essentially impoverishing these countries and and causing people to me to to to countries like europe consciousness like you know i wanted to get your reaction to that. first of all let me say that looks are being i've been involved in midseason. regional levels across the continent from you not to the southeast where also the diaspora are far but are close to roads between africa missing a few thousand deaths were on one thing different he comes across there's this sense of neocolonial easy to do very much in africa hundred vs representation of nuclear on the armies i mean africa life for us so we no doubt there is not the new that's been said by the italian prime minister maybe the only new thing is that this is coming from each of the from the prime minister of you can you maybe for us as is looking into the middle it's also quite interesting that he's speaking even you know because france has always done these over the years but because he can eat so he's beginning to feel the impact of some of the consequences of france's
6:40 pm
presence in africa going to need to run some economies very very much involved in the political and economic on sometimes it will culture realities also seen african countries even more so there is nothing new nothing new has been said this is true you know that is just really nice and easy it's coming from the italian prime minister against the reality of migration yeah right j.j. and so we've got to sort of you do a p. and a model right for you you are full and we will invest but there is also another bass player on the continent and that's china and the model there is almost will bring that many ways that business case and will look away when get involved in terms of you don't make sycophants what are you hearing from people you've talked about the africans that you engage what model do they prefer and what is the base model for this continent. see because no one's apricots to be a session our lives we don't want on as such and i like this on the out of africa so whatever whatever reason that would require on our pool or somewhat our european
6:41 pm
countries some song we know it's to events in germany in the us in asia should be the same reason that they invest in africa i don't like to see the chinese move though because the chinese model sort of enables the. so ship where the country whatever he or she. is in our thoughts or whatever he goes there turn are different things. like that i don't think that's good enough ok. or not our preconceived ok because. i don't think are you already considering you kept your interest which is often the case. ok all right j.j. everywhere in the world all right we appreciate your views j.j. nigerian blogger thank you very much coming to us from naples. ok so here's what i want to get in before we wrap up today have a listen to an appeal the newly crowned miss senegal made for young people to stay
6:42 pm
in africa and shape the future rather than seek their fortunes elsewhere. we young africans have to believe in africa because it's our continent it's the continent of the future people we have to be proud to be african we need a change of mentality they must study train themselves because they represent the future so for me if you saw eleven yes. that's it from the news africa for now i'm keen to know what you think about that and all the stories we have today you can catch all our stories on our website and i'll facebook page and i'm on twitter at leave you now with pictures from the beauty contest in depth our way the very proudly african alberta d.s.o. was crowned the new the synagogue and i need to show you how we say talking about that by ceasing.
