literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find strength grow grow. my only objective is to share with a fine beautiful. he does these books on youtube. hey there if good to have you here on the 77 percent the show that the phys the voice of off because you my name is laura good to have you with us. today it's all about young africans who shape all future with digital technologies and it's a special show too because we have an exciting guest joining us in the studio. jay jay of your is one of the more influential bloggers on the point he's here to talk about the to told business opportunities. in ghana we find out how in

a funny ways to get charged into mind for me i think. we need to one shoulder the people. so let's begin with a life for many digital devices. in gonna it's probably africa's most famous dump site for electronic waste one young woman decided that all it had drives she and all about the knots and bolts aren't just useful you know a lot tops and mobile phones in fact but till the pain is convinced this can be turned into fantasy jewelry and interior design. pretty cool earrings right well damage from. these country chairs are also up cycled just like these funky. designer paint turns trash into treasure she finds.

it for and trying to quest it's a place where old computers and keyboards lined up along with stacks of car tires the smell of. the air a lot of people here find the trash to recover pieces of power that they can see. but my kid of pain is not hunting. she's on the lookout for inspiration the worst to get the positive for you so we don't try to find a solution to this problem so in all small way to need to get climate change we decided to come here for we must. use a sports. based scrapyard has an army. and camera. it's about the size of 20 so-called fields which means there's plenty of material for my children to sort through. several times

a week and this time of these computer circuit boards have called. what's going to work with anything whether it's broken or is new or is all that so it was good to be calling them once in a while commander store final for the tools for real. the 1st stage of the transformation is a good clean then the material is cut into smaller pieces. and sanded down to make smooth and ridges finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. killed those projects require time and team work space is our biggest challenge we will have a bigger space so we can alter employed more and we can do more as the 1st on the 2nd one is missing as you can see around me have just simple to work with what the team certainly isn't lacking is imagination they can try on ordinary electric scrap

into lampshades tables or clocks. matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs conferences objects not only i can't sing. i think rather than take all this amazing stuff that all this money has been poured into and just put the world with it why not turn it into art a lot of places across the world were having a problem with an increase in waste and like managing the ways to getting rid of it matilda pain has won several awards. creative way of doing her bit for the environment and she has even bigger things planned for the company. we are looking at it's been able to empower more women therefore you have to train more women to venture into what we're doing now to be able to study owned businesses who would also like to empower the youth expression between come into

produce like us for every item sold. already gone names 5 percent of the money she makes to the education of under people liked young cars she doesn't only want to bring peace candidate items back to life she also wants to give something back to society. wow but before we had to call the jewelry ok now let's meet a woman who actually wouldn't want our computers to be cut up into pieces and one as. this is. she lives in the portal mozambique savio fasts trained as an architect but then went on to study id as she saw more business opportunities there would you believe that not even one out of 10 people in was a big have access to the internet this is something size here is determined to change to bring her country forward into the future. in my food

well sqlite old rusty. smart to pronounce like. she's convinced that digital technology will revolutionize the continent. these are. 30 years from now i see in africa. that produces a solution and africa that things on a global scale in order to find local solutions. that isn't the solution. to. study and went on to found her own company techno plus 20 people set up computer systems and build websites and databases for banks and shops. because it's unique challenges such as park or expensive hardware. that are challenging work environment doesn't have to be an obstacle to success. many scientists and creators will come from here

from africa because where there are challenges there is also. where there are problems there are also. it's not all about making money in order to expose more young people to the digital world she also gives free i.t. classes in a nearby school every saturday so far not even $1.00 out of 10 was on beacon access to the internet for most students this is the 1st time they have ever used a computer. approach to teaching is to show her students' creativity behind a process that is too often perceived as just technical. because if you can get. a piece of software to do the math with just a few lines of code that is just. the.

teaching method is unique and it goes down well with the kids to. do it. as they don't often intrapreneur. from an early age that she could shape the future not just for herself. but i really hope. head and implemented our own innovations instead of the ones coming from outside. the next and. taking advantage of the. wow that's really inspiring it's about digitalisation can have huge influence but of course it's not without challenges and would like to delve into these but also into the opportunities one guy who is an expert on digital aviation and new media in africa

is j.j. . public speaker and i'm expect on digital. i think everything. everyone touch more lives impacts more lives. ability to be everywhere. to help africans and money to businesses. he hopes other young africans with this new digital. well. they say. well it's really great to have you with us thank you very much. what us of the biggest opportunities for young people online i think the biggest

has to be isis because the us is and you can spread this thing in whichever way you want to express it so the biggest thing is i says and then maybe after i said for the b.b.c. not everyone sees i.t.v. bug that everyone is into quoting saw how after the axis how can someone make money on social media why should anyone be official neatly and if you can if you haven't understood you don't have followers you don't have an understanding you can be an ivory gates oh so you're a bridge yes you're like a an agency you call it a business from a company that wants to sell something on the internet and then you connect them so the influence of the markets are so you know you would have to have a not constituted right not to mention you say it's not accounts for your own business or you being the influencer yourself or even creating platforms yourself so the chance of opportunities are limitless you know you one of them with success we've built us on the continent does the number of for you are to tell me how much you could or in the case of organic advertising is that not so much anymore really

big is these engagements engagement model followers because you can have 5000 followers and have people engage in a specific issue say flowers or it's cost. or bristly as i juz right if you have engagement around our conversation then you can attract business opportunities because of that and get me and i did same time you could have a huge number of followers i know having good mentor around anything that says what do you have a business is interest and you have pointed out that they didn't any opportunities on the line but they're also challenges so what happens when you come from a country where the cost of internet is too high now for example you're coming from nigeria where $1.00 g.b. of data costs about $2.00 right well someone is coming from zimbabwe and house to pay a mind booking 75 u.s. dollars for the same amount of data now we offer some young them baldwins how they deal with the high cost of internet data let's have

a look. at it down. using tools he can generate to use it. i mean that week i was used by frank week because i can't you can fight it myself for life i really like like the kids in school. and i need to make to you because when most of the money's not going to desert because right now everything else being done so it's pretty hectic it's actually selling like you know. j.j. how can we overcome such challenges as high into that price it's a tragedy like just looking at the numbers and even the $2.00 and then your eyes mind you just said i'm in so you might in this only $5.00 a gig in zimbabwe just dust that i think were really still happening government has to get out of the way because the weight is right now governments literally in the

way of innovation and isis suits on the internet and when i say government it's not so great for he says taxes d.d. cost of living $5.00 out of 6 it's not just about the immediate cost there's also the. source of pain that's used to governments suddenly this fiber optics and fiber optics are the live wire of the internet and the internet is a live wire of modern business so government has to get out of the way and then also incentivize industry because it's a business idea end of the day and if you incentivize industry and if you removed bottlenecks that prevents businesses from getting into space the data prices would automatically go down in the mission i think it's going to like it's not just about businesses it's also about there was of information that exists for young people on life you know whether you want to learn new skills whether you want an imagined yeah advocation just anything you know the internet is the electricity of today's economy now is that country that comes to mind as we're talking that could be

a perfect example of a government that is working for the people when it comes to internet access and connectivity estonia of africa. i mean it's only a is that is i mean it's not really in africa because he said perfect example of that message that i mean that whole question difficult because as a perfect example would respect to that on the continent all right i'm definitely give props to nigeria with the fiber optic cables like 2 or 3 of them in one g r k i is not deemed by me to us to be said south africa what as a collective the numbers about and what effect does it will come to any of them that's what we are all striving for perfection that is indeed true now what is it digital dream of what do you dream of a digital africa in 2050 i mean i think you already have something to let him let it be said at a 50 shots but he's very long speaking about digital but i would said that for me it's about connect c.b.c. and affordability let's everybody has to be connected because this our rights are

rights to prosperity so you did your rights to freedom of expression and then of course affordability because it's not enough to be able to connect as we've seen by we just saw the same pattern of people can't afford to be able to connect now before i let you go i need you to finish this question. to be successful on social media you need to. explore. very you have it thank you so much lately for. now tellus is a new media a promising professional field for you share your thoughts on facebook and how we look at our you tube channel. now on a different note let's head to kenya now b. has a growing graffiti seen in fun some of nairobi's street artists able to make a living through their passion they also made it now self as role models for younger. if you're looking for street art in nairobi you need to go to the low

income neighborhoods. like a smoky. grew up here in jericho. in the canyon of his teens there wasn't much in the way of st. but smokey started spraying until one day it became his korea. for. chicken magazines for the states. in the last 15 years. has grown. and smoky has his own little studio and one of the old train carriages. also makes time to mentor up and coming artists. and. make enough not to live off even if it isn't always easy. to genting. or thank you for the words i don't.

like the way the. smokies for my mentees get wet spring for businesses. but it's in the commune. they really want to make an impact. graphic is more powerful. you know just sitting in a small small printing we took the art form to. argue. for example and they were hood known for its high crime rate and violence. grew up here. so when former gang members decided to build a community center and a children's library they asked him to help with the art. to be creative. many people are engaging in this but.

they decided to form to express themselves as people who are willing to do something for change so they can do that to show. the place. that's why we're to open eyes to graffiti jam and get together of artists from all over town. some of them have had to save up to buy paints and spray cans they have to help brighten up the area especially for the children and the youth. smoky as my as mature as motivation. i think is the mall the sun is the one. who community graffiti. graffiti. with their art and his fellow artists have the respect of the community i didn't.

you know so as you can see but i am. busy. that's. a lot of talking about something positive i would. make him to go to the wards they shouldn't have looked at. me when come to me and give me several ones. it's his way of saying thank you to the community and maybe inspire the next generation of street artists. let me take you away from nairobi and let's head to fit in the gambia where iraq an activist takes a photo with you he's home city although it isn't the capital of the gandhi affair quinta of them or think what didn't market trading center in a more west african country and it's the place to be for the youth of the country. called world showplace in this case activists and i want to welcome you to my city

. the group will take you around places around town. pretty but it's still my city welcome that's. deeply connected to his west. at 35 year old was born here in the district. and so can this east. 3 165000. it's also the country's cultural and economic hop. in the heart of the city. followed. through money so this is the i know one of my favorite foods out here that has the sour taste and you add. thought like i thought of some sort and pepper and some

sugar to have that sweet and sour you know on the shelf and you know it's louis is nice like gives you a different sense. overwhelmingly but there aren't enough jobs for this many are able to get by by doing odd jobs and even scholarships just struggle for a while for inventor on the so-called black market. try to discourage. the hustlers place a lot of people still viable business and especially for young people and if you look at all of these young people like in contrast to go back to they can go mediterranean sea for all to europe and you realize that the young people really do want to do something i believe that my music inspired them to keep on believing in themselves because killer isn't just a rock he's also an activist as a political injustice began when he was just for us old his family fled from the original former dictator. states when he were 10 to the age of 15 it teamed up with

a young people and organized demonstrations and things the president in the west the district his commitment to justice made him a target i released a song. which means if you're part of the herd of cows you get to see. if it could be $48.00 but. in that song spoke against corruption the police brutality between arrest and a lot of is that what happened in that time i was targeted after that and that's why i had to go on as if it could be taken by. his love for his homeland brought back today in 2017 when a democratically elected president about more power to the country's poor economy situation still hasn't changed but sir residents don't let these problems stop them from enjoying life. to screw up. a typical working class neighborhoods kind of
