discipline. support to say. that some. things like this in business. and the things that. you all do their. own. seventy one of them are the most probably man's our most there's hope for us at characterized by their willingness to tell lame ass to party establishment and. its social media campaign that run even to sixty eight under the hostile not so young to run such see that in lowering the required age of the president well secret that's right while the two main candidates. who want all of that and that when. you tell you where mob mentality if we spend. on less than

twenty five years old companies i've also been pushing for people to get involved in this election by signing up the board as a result of these and call them what seems to be on you for the iraqis that's a good thing because i'm sure many out there will be depressed i believe. told our adrian krishna he's confident of victory against. so what makes you optimistic that this time around you will have get the majority of nigerians voting for you i was able to secure the ticket of the party in a very very convincing. and then after that you know this is our laws state this was electioneering complained his grandson. we have been able to us as you know submit to your good bye to you and also the country due to the budget so that makes one rule for they have been many corruption allegations against you but you were never convicted by any called yet when you talk to ordinary nigerians is

it here or in lagos many would say even your supporters they don't fully believe you that you were never in any form and offered to question why they think this conception of things you need to do then before they got in the you know they will have every reason to believe in me but why do you think this conception is still their position is there because my opponents are always latch on to that so i mean any accuser. to be done all the time wanted them as well and you know to deceive the additional people he said he would consider granting amnesty to looters if they return stolen state funds do you think that is a right thing to do with many people would think that would be a sign of impunity for the future not necessarily but whatever. all news to you again would be based on the rule of the country you know in order to go help provision for that you know laws. but is that something you definitely going to do or something you just consider something we could consider. differently i'm going

to do but is something we would have considered that the security situation has been deteriorating and parts of the country also here in the northeast and recent weeks what is the assessment of the leadership of the security forces especially the military leadership have they been doing a good job was that something you will look into once if you if you will be elected as a present. and the model additions are good as dimitri our caller. and . his true name i will look over the military and. the necessary working conditions you know for them to serve the far as you know their lives to protect the people of this country so you have to move towards all these issues in a holistic manner and solutions to them all right here in berlin where at the business end of the city's annual international film festival the billion dollar the eleven day showcase brings together the stalls of international film and up and coming talent from around the world like kenyan screenwriter. who this week picked

up yet another award for this film it's the film tells the story of a terminally ill nine year old whose wishes of becoming a superhero of the filled with the help of her family and villages. to make a genius sat down with gumby tika to talk about all things african film but first it's take a peek at the film that's making waves troll he doesn't call people you credit because i understood what jesse was saying to mr chapman was that the kid was innocent but you would not have them on account of the movement it's not that there was a lot. to do from. here .

we've got the i guess it's down. we did not expect. that supermodel was going to take on the life that he did on the festival circuit. i didn't even expect when i was sitting in the room during

the premiere it was going to carry it we did in an audience in once in a mall and it's received so much applause and you seemed ovations and their flaws just went on and on for about five minutes straight and it was only interrupted by the fact that there's a little scene after the credits that it plays and i mean it was just spectacular i think the thing that carries about it is that such a high performing film about triumph over adversity the power of community and therefore providing this to this film being a little go who succeeds against all odds to show everyone that it's possible to follow your dreams and be who you want to be against all these enormous audience has a lot of people. just reminded again about what the power of cinema is there's a school of thought that for african movie to be world class you sort of have to

copy western standards to be able to reach the international market the international audience. how true or not to the and to what is a superhero film this is a kids' film but it's also a very can and film. is a film that you could say was saved by you could see has some horror elements in it but it's a drama about the afterlife but that still has a very can and twist to it you can take any of these conventions that exist around the world and add an african convention to it that makes it really authentically norco but still very translatable to the whole world my question generally what really. so we'd be probable very good question the kings of cinema have existed on this side of the world right and they have established what cinema ought to nor like and sound like and feel like and what kind of stories can be told on the big screen and. african filmmakers for

a long time have been on the side watching but now here and there. with the best of them telling our stories with very authentic flavor and i think that's what you most proud of that we're standing on and then that we thought was owned and managed and run by people from other parts of the world but we have as much say in what gets to be seen like robots thank you very much i. think. that is it for news africa for now you can catch all our stories on our face to face book and website that's news on to see wonder if you might a junior will be with you next week.
