when the way they compress most i was careful because collecting it take a look can soon after a decade has proved those and several dozen enough for my must take a look. again at this dummy and. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes nigerians bring back hari as support is up the president revel in easy election when we are asked how far does the jubilation over his victory go in the country. and tweak it in the call of africa's most are ready champions in uganda they call her super lady. then africa's fording giants a mysterious kayleigh is paving the mighty bad trees that dominates seven africa's

net state. i'm christine wendell welcome to the program i'm glad you're tuned in voters in nigeria have given mamadou another at the helm of africa's largest economy and most populous country but turnout was no in the election just thirty five percent nigeria's electoral commission says bahari triumph with some fifteen million votes beating he's nearest rival by eighty four million votes delays and violence maad the run up to said saturday's poll but no independent observer has cited electoral fraud. dancing to the children a victory supporters of muhammadu buhari celebrated well into the night. i believe this is the way forward to this country and to my generation if you took

the president to talk about the brightness to the world presented to the. legitimacy of the body president you see the ropes on the old stuff just weeks will over the course of. the. sharp contrast his reveling supporters a seemingly uncharismatic bihari appeal to his voters not to humiliate the opposition. we can use. it. to continue. our he won the election despite many nigerians frustration with his style of governing being slow to attack corruption than

a struggling economy. despite overflowing with oil nigeria recently overtook india as the country with the most amount of poor people. rees main contender. whose campaign was about the economy has rejected the election result and plans to mount a court challenge. ok we've got some hot spots from africa some of it's equal back a supporter has to say they were cheated in this election is have a listen. to cool. a lot of this position. on the. double don't know what food i need very difficult to be our school fees even to balcombe edition so i believe. that's agrees the best although we are. all working fight every. to get.

more analysis on the election i want to bring in. borno he's a political commentator he's in lagos for us today ambassador i also is executive director off an initiative called the tap initiative where basically the aim is to increase voter participation among the youth as well as education as i welcome to news africa turned out in this election was a thirty five percent. turnout election in this election was a five percent what are we to make of that. it is actually very discouraging that's we had five percent in this last election because this is one of the worst elections that we've had this high this low level of tanos . elections in itself becomes much more credible when citizens participates and the most it is a sportsperson on election day means that heightens the credibility of that selection however in this particular instance we see the low level of participation

and some level of disenfranchisement that has happened especially as down south of my jury at the south south south east and so that's also affected the level of participation because quite a number of people were disenfranchised and disenfranchised quite a lot of people also were scared that their lives would be endangered if they come out to vote on the election day so these are all the things that's actually affects the number of people that turned out to vote in the presidential elections ok a lot of people have a lot of opinions about whether or not this was a a free and fail action but i want us to talk about the two candidates that were up contending abu bakar at sequel and why would you bar who since one did at cool really represent the change that young nigerians wanted or was he just the other guy that wasn't too hard. ok so that's the categories of people in the last election those who believed that they just wanted anything but president my

mother board and the young people who also feels about. loss of jobs in the economy i mean the economy was not doing too well subsequently there were a loss of jobs and then a lot of schools or universes where on strike for three good months and so this people actually assume that isaac roebuck us today chance and he represented the kind of change they wanted and since such a club is a man who has. a lot of business acumen below his belt and he's also got a lot of industries companies and here and there on his own in soprano they believe that he is actually coming in with that's kind of change that will bring about jobs here and he also feels that that's a group of like a has done a lot in terms of education here also feels that he was going to improve the sestet out of education in the country ok so a lot of hope was hanging on at sequoia back and to be fair to president party i think a lot of people did acknowledge that he is seen in the country as one who is less

corrupt and unfortunately what mr there was some ideas about corruption that some people would talk about but what can we expect from nigeria now with formal he is a fiery. this is a decision to has been made. hopefully. see some level of improvement the president himself the president elect under certain presidents himself must have seen that this is what this was and to walk over for him he was a very tight on kinley contested elections and so he i don't see expects that he would seek nigerians for a grand said i expect that there will be certain things that he would take into consideration the economy for example the level of insecurity education the economy and all of us will react spec's that there will be some form of improvement in this particular sector right the the fight for corruption should be taken much more seriously all right but they came out cinnabon

a political commentator in nigeria for us thank you very much came out of sports not generally a male domain but i want to introduce you to susan borg africa's number one woman in racing she's betting men in a sport they call their own last year she became the first woman to win a national readies high school in africa. motor sport funds in uganda will do anything to cheer their teams was a dream and lean sport has a big following among both men and women by but things look quite different in the corporate. fia just over fifty licensed drivers international wryly championship. almost exclusively men but the phrase one woman who runs some on the base. when i had just stepped in little did they know that these sorts of cars i was young by then and that this young lady it would come up to challenge man everybody

despised me that is a lady the speeds. whatever over. mistakes in the national championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. and fast seal become. yes. but let our own when you get to the tat when i get to the stats and i drop all the feels. it is not easy. how could driver knows how to give someone a boast when the competition is stiff. so i also tend to be a lady that morning such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed that the guys are fast on her and there is still i know we are fast. but teams try to just seems to be playing golf when she saves all this super league she's known to have funds can be and cut your

book. in twenty eleven longest surprised many when she won uganda as national rally championship. what she wanted to gain last year the only african woman if a twitch of such wrestling so. i will be myself. so i'm liberal myself. to have sons and especially to women who want is an icon of empowerment and to her role a pos she is a right for to be a bridge could we radiate watch to the competition how we. ok the bay of tree is an icon of the african continent and lies at the heart of many traditional remedies and folklore its leaves are rich in iron and can be boiled and eaten like spinach if seeds can be roasted to make a coffee substitute but the trees are dying at
