are rooting. 16. the legal. passion a drama competition rivalry marketing numbers atmosphere power fight attack intimidation love hate money. fans crime slander spammers and fans old boy. on you tube. hello guys welcome to your favorite youth program the 77 percent this is the platform for africa's young my jury duty i did my junior fasting you'll see belts and ride with us. more than 60 years ago many african countries gained independence from me would be and colonizes but how independent and why does it even matter to us the young generation now will be digging deeper into that question on the show but yes what's

coming up. are reports that he did come out he talks to young kenyans about miracle of the others. property and all this them drops a few lines on what it means to be african. immigrant in the streets passes can robotics asking for the control. now east africa has been ramping up efforts to expose its citizens to chinese culture to clearly their language in kenya for example monitoring is offered as the selective language in schools in uganda it is now econ policy subject in some schools so is this exchange of colleges or was there much more to it. 25 years old and dramatic is not afraid to get his hands dirty. graduated in december he's been helping out on the family farm and like many young kenyans who recently entered the job market.

he's looking for work. but andrew has an ace up his sleeve he speaks mandarin this decision came as more chinese contractors flooded kenya to build its roads and he thought learning the language might give him an edge an experience that would be revealing my name is in english so the chain did too under the new so this was the name i we used to go by even in school in class in the lambs real studios and that low. over the years there's been a steady trickle of chinese cultural and language centers open in kenya many like andrew school offers scholarships and in some cases high achieving students are even sent to china for competitions but the content of andrew's classes made it apparent his instructor was teaching more than a language she was really started to kick started by showing us teaching us about chinese history chinese system chinese pointers and so for instance if you can do french you might not need to learn all those things pertaining in street culture

and we just need to learn how to communicate but in chinese language you get to they wanted to become like that. they are currently 59 confucius institutes spread across 44 african countries. institutes together with existing economic ties add to china's significant reach over the continent. nairobi based journalist who writes extensively on afi chinese relations she argues that while the chinese government may have a firm economic pressure on the continent the most significant partnerships are being created outside boardrooms. i think the important thing to understand when we talk about the kind of chinese culture that is exported is that it is a very specific. cocktail of mainstream generally mainstream han culture that has passed through the prism. of the of the

c.c.p. of the come chinese communist party but at the same time not everything that comes here in kenya that breach that makes its way here from china is passed through that lens of the party there are a lot of day to day interactions between individuals that i feel like is a much more rich and interesting place to look at because those things are not mediated by the state the world. in bustling nairobi it's hard not to see how these more informal into cultural interactions have influenced everyday life in the city has already played host to chinese kenya joins our performances which are growing in popularity especially among the younger generation 3 china towns have popped up across nairobi since the 1980 s. offering traditional chinese cuisine with a can into east. backing eldar it andrew is under no illusions he knows that a one sided cultural exchange is no exchange but he's also in need of

a job and if that means working in china says that's exactly what he'll do. you know that's very interesting and this wondering if awarded possible for people in china now to see african languages like me or treat. i guess we'll just have to see how things pan out now talking about the influence or not of foreign powers of africa we hit the streets of our young people this question after 60 years of independence from british rule how really independent is nigeria today. is like your friend and. i think it's not a question of how independent we will be able to use on the payments for we have a government we have to make decisions sells and we have a. does without actually being. x.

in anyone for permission to do what we're doing for me i think we i mean the independence is just like how you know when you imprison somebody favor a long time even when gaffney in your mind. you know is still increasing will take some time for them to. sort of realize i'd be actually free if you look back on the past years you'd realize that you know you got worse so i don't think it's a question of independence but how we'll be meeting with to use it and we've not been able to just much as we could have we are not so independent to because where we are from well what's we are known for. we can't that's a step back because we're trying to be like our colonial masters there's some form of neo colonial in the same but i don't like to see that people say it exists and it might be happening subconsciously but i think. people are trying to take advantage of africa as like a it's easy for me just shows the potential that we have so well that people take

advantage of it. or we take advantage of it is a different question i think the best thing we can do is continue to evolve. countries. india for example doesn't have any natural resource a search for the people is work really help the country who. know they're more listen there's this returning confidence returning to us as nigerians which i find very interesting to see and i think it should continue i think people should be taught more about where they are from and starts to appreciate. this land it's displaced. so we've just heard the voices of young nigerians some argue that africa is still dealing with the effects of colonialism but really to blame for that and what can we the young generation do to break free

and cause. you to come on and put the question to young kenyans in our street debate in nairobi. the 7 to 7 percent is in nairobi the capital of kenya and it is in this city that the kenyan flag went up we were declared independent but how independent is kenya and indeed the rest of africa this is a question that we are asking today on our subject neocolonialism why is this still a thing in africa and who is to blame but before we go to fall let's come to who is a political analyst and a writer here in kenya how would you describe neo colonialism what does it mean to you. i think that coming from a gave us the best of finishing for neocolonialism which is a late stage imperialism where you have is in direct influence of political decision making of your nominee decision making ok so let me come to the farmer right here mr michael could be because your farm as you mentioned is over 100 years

old suddenly older than the nation of kenya do you feel like you're beholden to the person who began this farm absolutely not and i believe we need to. mines in our hearts. we really shouldn't be complaining too much about. let me come back to nigella i want to challenge you basically based on what michael has said we should be talking about new york on and right now look at me and fairview farm we're doing it on our own we're talking about colonization we're talking about imperialism we're not talking about individual experiences we're talking about a systemic issue yes you're able to grow your coffee ad and run your coffee tours but is the price for example that you're that you're selling your coffee at reflective of the labor that has gone into producing that coffee or is it reflective of political priorities that have been set elsewhere exploitation of power disparities for the profit of certain regions or certain parts of the world is the very definition of neocolonialism ok i'd like to come to schaefer because i

just want to you know piggyback on what nigel a saying that it is a system and it is exploitative but where are the politicians the people who should be of those international tables making better deals for us saying this doesn't work for us anymore can a struggle with the concept of political leadership that is dysfunctional that is exploited say that it's violent that's discriminator there's also this culture that stems from colonial space of leadership that excludes people from their leaders which is putting the people into this vicious cycle of constantly saying we need better we need better but nothing ever changes because the bubble of and the shield of neo colonialism is so thick so we're saying that oh my goodness that the that new colonialism once again is seeping into basically every. single factor of our lives politically economically even how we think he has socially and i'm just wondering from tony in what ways does new colonialism still have an impact in the way we are governed i mentioned the french very briefly the french have never mentally left africa ever you can see what goes on in the congolese the highest

glory of african evolution is to become a frenchman or a mademoiselle the french have never lost that mentality but one might argue that kenyans have not lost that mentality we are after all having this conversation in english no but can is a very different country we may be confused but on to addressed immediately our political leadership all neocolonialism relies on somebody having the lead in their pocket in that case is your gripe then with your own government all with a colonial government that created structures in which we are governed as we are that is very lazy the oldest trying to blame the british the oldest trying all the time we keep complaining about white people by which we mean european people and the truth is this the new coloniser all right i'd like to get some more views on this site the problem came with a philosophical foundations of this country like if we're talking about export. we

didn't talk of the people who live in this law. so what we're experiencing no is a result of what happened so the worst is still to blame but we reproduce what we did but is it fair let me ask shafer here is it fair to sort of lump the whole western world into you know their white savior as they're trying to come and save us we don't need their help is there room for collaboration or is it just going to be this bipolar dialogue. well i think i think room for collaboration that existed or that has assumed that have been assumed to exist has existed in their white terms so even as we collaborate we're collaborating within their own structures within their own arguments within their own indeed meant within their own requirements re why people have always wanted to enforce and to carry forward their whiteness and their supremest we should be able to enforce and carry forward our blackness our black supremacy but it's never going to happen because we don't have

the leadership that is capable to emerge in our own governance and engage ments out of the frame that is mostly a colonial council of what is necessary to lose out this way to the sentiment this is again we are playing here and sometimes i get tired of it or this is going to take way to grant that i want something specific to us your government never have won a lot of these scholarships and so on they'll lose weight but you tell your own story in your own way i feel like what's this white sentiment i never be sad about being colonized by the british of all the colonizers schools history and you know we have this please please please contextualize that i will never be side because that's the way real politics of the wheel of history had been colonized with the belgians didn't give a damn but i'm not going to go and keep painting about 889. so yes yes yes yes and i'd like to give i'd like to give let me come to schieffer because she's so exhausted her hands are on her head i'm about to give up because the thing is this

rate so the context is. when we when i hear people talk about they don't have a problem with having the colonized i question how deep are you in this neo colonial struggle that you've actually embraced your abuser and made them feel made her feel that she was right for doing what they did to you tony is saying that the facts can't be changed that the world order at the time was as it was the world order was white people stealing from black africans that was the word order i think sometimes we speak very carelessly and very casually about very fundamental things that have got us in the mess that we are and i really don't appreciate it ok tony do you agree with the charge that he was so deeply colonized yourself that you don't see why your utterances could have been that is absolute bollocks. british language is to people. because we educated in this way yet it's like those people who fail in life and keep talking about how their father

was an alcoholic or their mother never loved them enough and be like that it must lose their victim mentality about the british especially which we have in this country we started with a very critical question neocolonialism why is it still in africa well the answer is in our history and who's to blame for it apparently we all thank you for watching. that's what i'd call a debate so should we can drowning in the past or swim towards new future what's your view on your colonialism and its impact on african countries. we would definitely love to hear from you so pay us a visit on you tube to watch the whole discussion that it. has a different perspective from other parts of the continent rob sign one bit boy it.

is a descendent of and i may be an independent and rick. where africa stands. you . know loves every girl this is now every year we don't know what so regionally ours are little or no number out every can be understandable by the fact that the message turds like. skinny and dog bridget is in god the beautiful with. the knowledge even if you got a 1000000 units it redefined as good in that it's hell again but this type of going to the new schools that have been in elsewhere claim the last of the american blizzard into the same company is not a beggar is by again i think. i can go to get you to. know that in every can. people fit within 2 feet then

why bless. every girl that. was still there but love that you put the other love in grading people displayed. as weakness and do evil even did they took the words. and amen endure god never heard the modernists mckibbin discourse in the admin bush are a little good and assess a new thing when pinky limb from the boy was wrong and this was the crystal. in the christian war by the cold feet of the john the bills the wives of those who died there was. a member district when we was to have been so what the now we're. going to. really pull this we've been emptied out every canard right down did the. bed they descended the is only half of it style and said

darndest words when it was are all of. the stronger than the words after they suffered they'll start to serve the new. those are really deep lyrics it's a good reminder to learn from history so those traumatic events never repeat it now musician. has also penned strong words on this issue so as a child when her family moved from cameroon to germany the intertwined histories of both countries are reflected in electro inspired the. sound arch meets bold electronic beats. penned and produced you had to be in cameroon after a painful breakup she says women in cameroon were traditionally treated with more specked before the european colonialists arrived.

had such an impact also people mentality they were purposely raising also the culture of the people stumbling over imagined of a black man of attention 1st century i couldn't swallow my pride i trust. you know i also was 10 when she left cameroon and moved to germany along with her 2 brothers their mother wanted to complete her doctorate at a german university coming here it was a dream liz's small african child white culture means everywhere it's the norm with the standard. so when you know as a 10 year old that you're going to europe it's like the sugar candy but she was the only black girl in a small town in southern germany she soon experienced the effects of racism and ignorance they don't teach you. in terms of where the resources come from and

how did well come to you in such an amount it came from their colonies and it's really insane to me to be in this world and go to school so many years when a teacher who supposedly about the world you're going to be living and. thought this huge part of history. when she was 20 elsom bala decided to return to cameroon to reconnect with her roots she childhood experiences into music she discovered a new side to her world in the recording process inspired by her home country so rich culture and you. are now spends most of her time in germany she lives with a young daughter in berlin known as the capital of electronic music but africa remains a strong part of the mix has found a way to bring both worlds together on this track she sample speeches of the pan

african ist and 1st guy named president kwame nkrumah. now. feels at home in berlin she has discovered a space for herself somewhere between her german upbringing and her cameroonian heritage it's a healthy mix she says and it's something she hopes to foster on. a healthy mix and why not i have a dream that one day africa and europe. really beneficial relationship. thumbs up if you agree i'm sure you do now let's take you to a hidden african treasure tucked away in this and again these customized region is a provincial capital they control the artist can buy shoes as a round as a small hometown along the shores of the river.
