sometimes but more exciting than real life. what if there's no skiing. in the streets. welcome to the 77 percent africa is a magazine for the youth why the 77 percent you ask well because more than 3 quarters of africa's population is under the age of $35.00 and hopefully you are one of the. thanks for joining us and stay tuned you're watching the 77 percent have you ever wondered how you could better shape africa's image on the was stage we discuss this all

a lot more on today's show. radio reports out beatrice theory from zambia is fighting for the future of young africans by talking slight change. to our 77 reportedly with african journalists and activists in germany to find out how they serve the image of the continent. and a fellow golfer most successful rapper takes us on a tour through the west african feel of the car. climate change isn't just a global issue it's a pastoral one as well and africans are set to take the brunt of a 21 year old radio journalist beatrice fieri knows this better than most after taking part in the united nations used a few years ago she learned exactly how climate change would impact her home countries and. she's now taking to the airwaves in lusaka to share our knowledge

and encourage young people to take action before it's truly. my actual call market in lusaka trees that once protected design b. and savannah i see here i can feel climate fighter beatrice feel real reports how filling these trees has an impact on daily life in communities in lusaka meaning with merchants in the market the young radio reporter is looking for our allies in how frightened into climate change. our ways. for problems but rather look for solutions together we don't come here to look at what the negative things people are doing but rather to help as come up with solutions that are going to hell. you know as a collective collective so those are the things that we actually do and this is why we always have to come here to collect stories that are inspiring and what it.

truly has her own show at a lusaka community radio station in an hour long broadcast each month she talks about environmental issues in lusaka and what to zambians can do about standing by . the reds. today she's talking about have visit to the chapel market later she really needs says about her childhood telling how her neighbors would fight over water before the well ran dry due to persistent droughts. 3 believes that many zambians are already affected by the climate change but that most are not aware of it. so every person needs to have adequate information and that is what my vision is about in all the regulations that actually gets to to it's about creating or giving out information that is

powerful information that is actually able to stimulate every person's mindset and say look i have been affected by this situation by climate change and i think it's high time we get to do something about it that's my position. climate change is deeply and just all go african countries account for a tiny fraction of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere droughts floods and rising temperatures heats the continent with full force but theory is convinced that zambians i'm not helpless and can mitigate the effects. that stats educating people. most of the vendors at the coal market have never even. heard of climate change for many theories show is an eye opener helping them to understand the changing with the patterns they have witnessed. for you will

come 215-2016 some experience erratic water supply due to to little or no rainfall and also that was caused because many people were busy cutting down the truth and this is what we're actually going to get to see more if no action is actually implemented by we the people. she really wants to inspire the people at the market to fink about ecological alternatives such as chattel made from banana peels all maize commitment shows how young people across the globe are becoming increasingly aware that climate change may compromise their future and that action must begin now. it just goes to show if you raise your voice and strike knowledge you can help bring about change and that's exactly what we hope to do with our street debates where we ask young africans to share their opinions on controversial issues but this week's debate is a little different i was 77 percent reporter

a money meets with african journalists and activists who travel all the way to germany for the global media forum he wants to know more about how the media can change people's perception of what rekha. hello and welcome to the 77 percent debate coming to you from the global media forum in born and today we are discussing about of very interesting topic how can african journalists ship the image of the continent locally and internationally so i would have a very interesting group of panelists you are a blog and a social activist from nigeria how difficult is it to tell a story about material you don't mention. for example well it's one of the major things that people recognise nigeria with that is boko haram corruption and such things but there are stories that are missing from the conversation so for example

in northern nigeria we know stories about oppression when it comes to women but people do not realize there is a new movement of northern nigeria and women who are beginning to advocate for really important issues such as you think lucian and more recently a movement called me to argue i mean to north in house a language is spoken in northern nigeria and you have a lot of young women coming out to speak about abuse and sexual harassment and that's a growing movement right now in northern nigeria says they're still going on and that needs to be told globally but for social activist from cynical. about the things that we seeing on the international scene i mean the negative negatives . my opinion is they want to show. the but things in africa in order to make us dream in order for us to need to come in europe because america we don't need it we have not a positive things in africa like young people. involving in politics

trying to make social change we have a lot of things lot of positive things showing off my. view in terms of activism change. how difficult is it to try and change these things in an environment that is strict i believe that one of the things that we ought to understand is the context i think what gets lost in the international news is not that they write about bad news or news that we may not want to have it in the public or hide but what is the context boko haram has got a much bigger context than just saying that they're terrorists are taking away young girls there's poverty there's all that but there's always a story of hope and. story so it's up to us to find that hope most of the time the only reason we have negative news in the international media is because people within the country are not given the freedom to tell the story the way they want to

if the media is free they will tell the good and the bad story inside the country and that gets outside as what should international audience have a full picture about africa for example of course yes i just want to take the occasion to tell people as a journalist you don't need to come with a template in your head you don't need to come with a photo in your head and you want to see the photos always in your head on the ground no you are talking about facts and people behind the screen they want to see those facts. my role is not to give interpretation my role is not to guide people to say ok you see this is go well you have to see this one this is no just give the facts and tell people the story thank you so much make the choice ok thank you so much for the we'll talk about fox but the pressure in trying to deliver these stories yeah. yeah i feel like there is pressure when you look at the media house if the media owners and i either affiliated or associated to

a certain party so we don't have we don't have rules and guidelines which sotto the media house of independent from whatever is going on 5th of all a journalist has to be independent in the context of the local content into the venue for them to provide content content so you have a very good you know it's very great content but they don't want to go there if they don't want to be received published by mainstream media because so much well. first of all i like to say that i agree with everything that's been saved here but i'd like to add something to that i think that as journalists what we have to do is to just create the space and let people tell their stories we do not have to be the ones that have the monopoly you know to tell the stories or to decide what's going to make news and watch or not make news. i'm noting because of so many comments that have been made on the strong points that are coming out on how many media houses secured their journalists provide that security that safety net for

journalists to go out there and come back with stories if i am a small african journalist an in less than $100.00 a month and you want me to investigate a media conglomerate or investigate. an iron ore mine or or somebody who has everything to put me down and kill me how can i do it these are the things we have to look at let media owners also be strong let them stand out in africa and help the young people coming up so many young jews. well as with potentials but just to move around i think the greatest challenge for us african journalists is to step beyond just publishing a story we need to deal and fix the problems as well see what we can do of course with our pens not with anything else just sense thank you a lot of this. i just want to say i don't want us to run away from the fact that the media is a powerful tool to set the agenda for conversations in the entire society as one of

the people who were leading the not too young to run movement in nigeria i can assure you that the traditional media as well outside of social media there's so many people who still just listen to only the radio and can access only the radio so such tools such as the radio and the newspaper as well as social media all contributed and general is one of the 4 people who pushed the movement so it's really important that we understand that the media does still have the power to said agenda for conversations and just as everybody has said i would like to echo that in the sense that it's our responsibility not just in activism but also in shaping the way people look at issues so i think in terms of even promoting our own country's development journalists do have a role in beginning to shape the way people think positively about what they can do and what is happening in africa she's a very important things but i mean this topic for example environment and business of the things that. some of the things that i realize as

a journalist is talking about very mundane things about the rise of price in bread and just have a conversation around that but then set the context populism that you talked about is so easy to sort of say the traders are the ones to blame how do you as a journalist explain that maybe there's some issues within the environment the business environment is different i can assure you that us a person who's been in a lot on social media and in mainstream media people want to know how. anythings affect the everyday lives and they're also open a lot for positive stories but you need to find the good news which is going to show the side of us that most of the time we don't think about that you know of ation the fun i mean i think we africans are full of fun let's show we can have fun sometimes we laugh and we are also very very creative so i think people are interested is just for us to go and find the stories thank you so much and yes on a lighter note as journalists i think we should also not forget we might be corrupt

but we are fighting corruption the my every problems in africa but we're trying to solve them not thank you so much that's a good way to end this debate i mean thank you so much wonderful people for attending the astute debate least let's continue talking you can visit us on our website and our social media pages and because so much from both of the doesn't. have any of our stories so far spot to curiosity that would be sure to check out our you tube channel where you'll find the full wash and i was trying to bait and more interesting topic. now if you think the manoa next segment looks for media then well done that means you've been paying attention for my lad. and activists from senegal and before giving us some insight into africa's future during our street debate he was kind enough to give us apostle to our own he city.

let's go. welcome to some a town. somewhere down. the synagogue. in the company. of 1000000 people live here. yes that. is also. just as well as hospitality and solidarity that's really that. solidarity is more than just the way for my lot in 2011 the rapper and activist co-founded the movement. which means freedom to bring down on the 30 and constitutional change test test occupied

a landmark independence square to make their voices head. we used to sleep in front of the police station until the 20 fast of june and the law was not passed in the end this place of independence is a place of indignation because they are also protesting here in the seventy's so a lot of movement. it's a very symbolic place for democracy democrats through song and action film a large inspires a generation the symbol of the our revolution is the hearts won on their heads even today. is a symbol of resistance. it has become a symbol of culture. if you go to new york on chicago you'll see the baseball caps but here it's this one that. invites us to his studio in west for our working class neighborhood this is where he creates the soundtrack to his protest before going

inside we grab some energy to go just on the other side of the road on every street corner and a car you can buy a cup of coffee to a local speciality for 50 francs you get a hot and peppery coffee mixture sometimes with lemon and always very sweet 2 meters below ground in his insurrection basement room a large room has this is new album together with rap on young guys songs call for african soften parliament and solidarity in. ones we want in fronts i was we had that me aghast at the songs. and we also young cynical. running trying not to get caught by police because they were vendors on the street. this inspired us to write the song the lucy delusive is a song asking young people to come back to our country because it's our country where they received their respect and value. in value yet after it has

all 4 mullard meets his fans at sweetheart's beach and here even beyond the ramparts starts to smile for him this is what the car spirit of revolt is about getting together out to 10 something negative into a positive feeling. back and i think. now if that left you in a good mood then i think you're really going to love our next report 12 year old wire is carrying from nigeria has a unique talent which has turned him into a social media sensation was draws amazing hyper realistic portraits he even drew the french president in under 2 hours with more than 100000 followers on instagram why is has become one of nigeria's most talented young. and these

vision is a total of currency drawing he started drawing comics when he was just 3 years old he later joined the euro to condemn me an art school that began as a makeshift learning center for children in this poor lucas neighborhood. tutors help him to improve his natural talent within weeks of sharing his 1st drawing a line his name and story spread around the world especially after he drew a portrait of french president emanuel in a crown last year this is the 1st then we have it like you. did this is. i think the thing is the last. one screams red talent has also brought fortune to his family. his parents proudly displays awards. his mother says she always encouraged her son

to follow his passion for art but she never expected this level of success. i didn't think he'd be an artist who'll be a cog missed by important people at this stage i just decided not to stop him from drawing because you never know what path a child would follow in the future. after his big break with president micron the government of a korean family a new apartment. was transferred to a better school according to an official statement the government wants to make sure worries isn't the best environment to nurture his talent meanwhile i took it anywhere where it's got to start now as a formal studio that's more suited for young students studying at. be back because i didn't do not visit something which in the roots of you that's fruits and fruit from was to. be. so easy been good to listen to
