i'm kristie one while come to news africa it's good to have you with us this weekend the people of africa's most populous nation go to the polls nigeria's presidential election is essentially a two horse race with a sequel from the main opposition the p.d.p. challenging the ruling a.p.c.'s mamadou hari who's seeking a second to not the two front runner this may be old men but it's ready young people at the center of this election not by geria has now become the country with the most poor people in the world ninety one billion live in extreme poverty according to a twenty eight hundred study that nigeria's a young country as of many of the people all young people are going to meet one of them in our next report. back to the old job back to her home country

nigeria. at day care was fourteen when she left for a better life she wanted to escape lagos and the hatch ship she endured among relieving many places i'm leaving out id. said before i have slipped off the bridge before i decide. before my life that the month is small nobody don't want me no food no anything smugglers promised to bring cats of the united states instead she was trying that in libya for three years. tells me she was forced to work as a prostitute and faced sexual abuse multiple times. every day of the deaths in my country to say story is all too common in one chair young people forced to take a life threatening path in search of

a life they don't see here experts say pulling young people out of poverty she'd be the priority of the government. most of the responsibility in this country to say how do i deal with a problem i have in my house if you can just focus to help these people for egypt for you to find a use only who has no aspiration no hope whatever. you have a very few days to yourself to look at is one of the thousands of my grandson who returned to nigeria through the help of international organizations like the are you aware she must give nigeria a new chance even if she gets no money for being an apprentice. for myself i see that you find five if i see business through have something like that's five good to see who bought a car. and then my wife. and maybe i can travel outside of the country back but

for now without an income those plans remain a dream. i have a go of it says a belgian alan on the phone we have a number of he's the senior analyst for nigeria for crisis group hi mr busey it's good to have you on the line welcome to news africa so we're talking about a nigeria today that has the most poor people in the world one of these two candidates offering voters has. really on. your from the from treating serious about providing infrastructure our people are improving my real. people are improving fortunes in brooklyn from among people have been worked a little different we find new growth while president bush the form of u two two you know that one is more to the thirty three. is more than two months of presents aggression and promoting of president upright engine of growth. the fundamental

difference yeah of course article being the capitalist that he is but more that hoffa photo is in this election we know that hoffa registered voters as i aged between fifteen and thirty five you've got two candidates the front runners both in their seventy's obvious candidates in touch with what is the overwhelming the young the electress. well with of the young people think as you would expect that they are out of touch with. current to reality. quite frankly the fools who think that. was some kind of a two club but it's a little more influential. he has more young people in his employment and his campaign have also appealed to other a lot more of them musicians and artists and so on which has some sensitivity to the interest of young people but in terms of concrete policy i think. clinton has

also talked more about creating jobs for young people so i think from the point of view you might see that even more sensitive to the young people develop from his anyway if it leads to translate it's really and let's talk about that reality what is nigeria's prospects after this election. well it's very cuban by the fourth election and. we're not sure of who is going to win at this point it is the future will depend on who wins and what direction he wants to take the country to but fact is also that whatever images that we will have a huge stock of the economy is in my one time moving it forward security issues are proliferating across the country on and momentous as an all time high and so on so they're not they're not going to be any quick fixes the monopole there's not going to be any radical change it is good to be among

a long haul before we can see light at the end of the tunnel there could be a missile back of all we need to go i mean we are talking about a continent where we do not see all that much change in a political front a lot of people are wondering is bill harley likely to return. well the moment it's difficult to see we've had various opinion polls some pointing to you know he is returning and you know he's moving out so it's difficult to see advantages when we can also see that a few club about to come in has ramped up you know momentum by significantly in recent times and he used them even to get quite some groans and the government is struggling to stem the tide to prove that gap so at this point we can't say whether it will come back or most ok all right we appreciate it ma'am deal but i see a senior analyst at international crisis group in nigeria thank you so much for your insight. thank you. the president of mali ibrahim bill baka cato was recently

in berlin for talks with these german counterparts the background in short is that german troops are in mali on a un peacekeeping mission that's said to be one of the most dangerous in the world in an exclusive interview with spoke about how the fight against extremists in the east was impacting the west. starting out in somalia a terrorist attacks have spread to east africa ever since the westgate shopping mall to take a nairobi in two thousand and thirteen has set its sights on the continent but not only the eastern part of africa. may be many of the terrorists that international forces are fighting in east africa fleeing to the sahara region the current and i keep in libya allows this to happen this bothers us the greeks deal and we have to bear the consequences of peace in

the sight hell is vital for the whole world if there are international agreements that we want to spend billions of dollars to help the eastern part of the continent fight terrorism we also should take care that it doesn't shift to the other end of the continent if the protective wall of this a hell breaks it will come to you when you. live a long time neglect of northern mali also because the security problems in the region . we realized we had to reconquer do is areas not only talking about military force this also has to be done on the political side we need exchange and dialogue we need to keep up the administration so that we can guarantee basic social needs like schooling health care and infrastructure. and then the something to do. this process has started well but we

have to be aware if we are the population to return home then we have to know the authorities can protect them i mean he's a danger this is a big effort for us to be taking on this responsibility. he is making this from. one way of taking responsibility is molly's participation in the d. five and force a french backed five thousand men don't mission was book enough fossil mauritania niger and tucked. ok it's not just presidents and politics today we do have some culture to a new exhibition that's just opened in london shows the works of south african artist. and it raises questions about the a range of african women from history as well as the spiritual connection to the lad. nation between the land

itself and her and sisters seems explored in this wanting video by a south african artist sitting mr sound in. a sought after artist in africa mrs anna is now celebrating his first solo sherry in the u.k. . i'm sure in my work here in london doesn't mean that there's a different audience but it doesn't mean that no one can necessarily connect with the work within the work you know there are traces of of people fighting their own humanity and of finding some way to go through the landscape but also are finding self and reflections that happen within these spaces the artists exploration of the landscape in history come a south africa grapples with how to rectify the inequality of landownership this body of work kind of surfaces in a time where south africa is having conversations around land reform and changing the constitution to allow for that form and saw in part this body of work speaks

about this a string of incest role or spiritual realm speaking to issues of that because the land is where the bones of our ancestors our rituals and traditions are exhibition visitors value this makes of the spiritual with the political i love her work it is so it is a very. good interplay with her spirituality. and the four five this and where she comes from and the ribs her roots and also the politically charged. circumstances under which she takes the protocol squishy places herself and how she places himself to be able to come here and kind of relate to know with the artists on kind of walled you know here on three you know on kind of ancestry and kind of thing something that is also quite meaningful for me is quite revealing .
