just seize the big. welcome to news africa i'm glad you tuned in we start off in the millions where ready to vote the day. before the start of the pol the electoral commission the election voters will have to wait till next weekend to choose the next leader many have expressed disappointment and international election observers are worried. well i think there are concerns as international community as international observers as the one hand that the postponement happened so late in the process that happened just hours before the polls were to open people were moving towards

the polls at the time. and. i think it's very destructive in that sense if they knew they couldn't do it they should have given people more of a heads up earlier and build trust in that process. now let's talk some more about this with our correspondent funny if i shot you need us a little funny good to have you with us so this is the deal meaning nigerians traveled for long hours to the cities all states just a cost of votes only to be told it's no longer happening what's the mood like funny . right very very mixed to say so because some people take a look at this you war with irony saying this is not your average is by the way one of the sentences that people keep saying if something does not work in nigeria but others are actually quite angry and disappointed because they say this should not be nigeria they are disappointed because democracy this is going to be costly day could be pinned if the timetable cannot be kept and that there are practical

reasons to why people are angry some have to postpone their wedding because the election was postponed osa just came back from the nation's capital from abroad and a lot of young people there were stranded who where they are to volunteer for the national addicks royal commission but didn't have any place to say it's just days it's a very mixed mood right now ahead of what is supposed to be taking place the election on a february twenty third. electoral commission said anything more than we already know to calm down the anger and disappointment over voter. all right apart from repeatedly saying that this is due to the just ticks through to the weather to certain sensitive documents ballot papers could not be delivered to certain regions in nigeria also i've heard members of the national election national call it sorry for the electoral commission seeing some sort of a finger pointing actually two different parties that they did not deliver the kenny that's on time that have to be printed on those documents that again have to

be delivered to hold over nigeria so there is a thing appointed but not only from i only see two parties also in between parties and i've met a woman a young lady a young mother and a lawyer in a house alone who says people don't expect anything from politicians anyway but rather try to be the change yourself this is how she is doing it let's have a watch. lawyer nona is bringing her message to this hair salon but she's not campaigning for herself or any politicians rather she wants nigerians to become more politically active. while. you was in my area. our. corruption runs deep in nigerian politics but not a says it's not the only problem the next government will inherit. it worries me i

feel that there are people who have a vested interest in how bad my. dog will do the best to ensure that people marts aware enough to liberates themselves with the effing game that's to main drive beyond her efforts to encourage social dialogue wherever she meets people wants in young person comes into our wemyss enough to start asking questions she would change nigeria imagine if everybody was asking questions nonis approach has an immediate impact in particular on her hairdresser victoria. courage is. a good job you can sit out a very effective food if you don't go out to work the roads are doing election time for a moment it seems as if they belong to nigeria su with the majority of the population for change to take hold it's up to them to hold politicians accountable that's what

nonna believes she woke up to the news that the elections have been rescheduled to saturday its major even more determined to cast her ballot. i'm going to vote because i want i want every government to realise that was you coming there's no automatic to care to the next now knows very that some young people might not vote out of frustration in the postponed election but the delay has. her drive to motivate others to be the change she believes nigeria so desperately needs. now the deadly house definitely not affected not as a drive to vote but based on your judgment funny what is that the commission's many more will not turn up like the bid last weekend or just the numbers to vote again what's what's your judgment on that. you don't want to get into those speculations rather it's fourteen million more people that we just have to

vote for this election compared to twenty fifteen so that tells you actually about that dynamic that people have pretty much bumped up to go out turn out and vote the question is yes what's going to happen next weekend now there are some financial reasons behind the fact that people may stay away from voting because most of them have to go through their location where they live where they are you just heard to vote and they may broke somewhere else so that is actually very closely but also when it comes to young people depending on whom i'm been speaking to. yesterday some said they are very frustrated about the way this played out just a couple of hours before the election that is an element was made that the election is delayed and they say they really don't feel like voting others again due to that frustration have a completely different reaction saying just like nona in that report that yes now that finitely more determined to go out and cast my ballot what will happen of course we will see if the election takes time takes place this time on

a saturday clearly many mixed reactions there funny fascia correspondents in lagos nigeria thank you very much. next to uganda which is widely marketed to the rest of the world as the peril of africa top among its attractions are safaris with crystal clear blue skies giraffes and other african wildlife but there could be a new addition to that lest beautiful woman could play a role in attracting visits as recently revealed by tourism minister godfrey key wanda this has infuriated women's activists accusing him of promoting women as a tourist attraction they want to scrap his plans for permissions to attract heavy women ambassadors for uganda are in full swing and. one of these ladies could soon be crowned miss covey uganda the beauty contest is strictly for plus sized queens with bodies and over two hundred women of applied you

must become vicious those ladies know themselves that is the truth when i say when when you ask me what my someone do what are you going to consider we are considering. the idea to showcase women with british ships has been fronted by uganda's tourism minister good for it you wonder after the launch of the contest the ministers say the beauty queens could help attract foreign visitors and boost tourism who are is not on the boat and so much about what. do we. do we are really did i walk out. women rights groups a few areas that have gone to court to block the project for allegedly insulting women. reduce women. were reduced and therefore were. one.

apollo. on the internet uganda's miss cubbie has been made with anger and approval and it's a similar picture industry for some the minister is a champion of tourism promotion for others he's objectifying women. i think it's an excellent idea because over the years they've been really promoting the slender sizes you find teenagers in schools are trying to take lots of medication to lose weight and this is not healthy for us they're supposed to accept us and even feel happy that that given the plus size people an opportunity it's just like any other beauty pageant but it's only that this one is only for the plus size we are being portrayed like create just cheap women like meat on sale out there in them in the international market that's a very bad and i totally disagree and is that the minister behind this idea need to charge me for yeah because this is not good he's got a wife kony present here is

a tourist attraction enough to get around was facing the backlash the minister denies accuse asians of using women for truck travelers he has toward parliament that it's a misunderstanding my special i think. this is my book whether. we. like or. i don't live. with a to misunderstanding or not and despite the controversy there are no plans to cancel the contest of the cards. now to the plight of one of neuters more unusual animals the pangolin or scaly anita the idea only mammals completely covered with horny skills but poaching is now threatening them with extinction

around one hundred thousand trafficked to china and vietnam every year for use in traditional medicine. this find is worth some eight million dollars ivory and pangolin scales the biggest hole that uganda's authorities have ever made not one container what about to get about forty three grams of the now imagine how many probably were killed crazed this number of killers the goods are mainly headed for china in asia penguin scales are believed to have the power to heal all kinds of complaints even though they're made of keratin just like human thing in aisles pangolin meat is sold in luxury restaurants trade in the animals is illegal. we believe that it's an international network of other people who we are going to drink on an end to end our investigation. lin's are the only memos with horny scales one kilo of scales will fetch around six hundred u.s.

dollars on the black market because the animals can be sold illegally for huge sums they hunted in many african and asian countries where the most trafficked a memo in the world and listed as critically endangered. that's had four d.w. news africa. and on demand. language courses. video and audio. to the new zero max you tube channel. gold mine of story.
