was cut short due to the war in ukraine. calling xavier was one of them. the young, my jaden, is now trying to get his future back on track. let's check out his story. ah, do anything you could just lay dead and smoke. and then the other thing you could hear was my phones and gunshots. some intervals, you see, so just stop the trains and then come in and search. it was really easy to find. hi, my name is collins 21 and i'm from nigeria. i was born in legal group in niga hill high school and i moved to you by don't in the area. i mean, like one of the really hardest schools to get in the university of buttons to study law actually were like, they were kind of like loud enough for me. so i had to like try to look for

something outside the country. when i got my way to get the ukraine, collins were studying international law at hard keep national university in ukraine . in simba can you send one? my, my hope was going to, you're going to restart not to continue anything just to restart a fresh new life for me. oh. and then my roommate talk to me and just like, did you hear like hear what you like those bombing? i mean, i would like to stop joking because the night before will joking about was the last one games funny until it was funny. will like trying to calm down about it until we had 71 and then with a week nobody could see like, it was a joke anymore. and then sort of panicking big time. i called my guardian of some

sort then who was like, nothing is going to happen is just, there's just some blasts, but go out, get some food stuck with your friends and staying doors. and then i went out and i saw everybody on the street punting. everybody was literally trying to like got all the stores to buckled for the could. people were like trying to withdraw money. well, i can get bugs putting them inside of woodson, like driving off. harkey was heavily hit when the war began. collin school was also bump. with a group of other foreign students, collins decided to leave ukraine. they had to force their way onto the train after authority stopped them. ah, collins arrived in berlin a month later with just

a few belongings. he has been staying with volunteer host until he finds a permanent place. i i mean i lost everything right. i life. things in green, i didn't stay that long, but i had kind of her life like aspiring to build, i had life, i was already building on and then the war comes and then everything is broken down. i left the interior right to restart and then it's kind of not fair when you're restart turns to an end. and then you have to leave me

start again from the beginning and the same when you start. and again, you're starting actually like with nothing but basically nothing against a journey with basically nothing has had a backpack shirt, trousers, shoes. so it really, i would say i would say it's it put a hold of some sort in my life. the life of every other person who is in the situations ah collins hopes to get into a university in germany. but for now he is learning german and working at a retail store. i used to really loud sounds really so i didn't sound the cheat on me before i started having like therapy sessions. i used to like have need but insomnia. and when i did sleep,

i had the crazy night about from that i think i'm getting been around found like it's been a very difficult journey for collins. but guess what? collins is right here with us in the studio. i didn't collins, but now we talk more about his current situation and his future plans in just a moment. but fast. i'll show you a wondering why so many african students chose to study and ukraine is what we put together for you. around 80000 foreign students from a 158 countries. tardies in the ukraine before the war began. on february 24th 2022 . nearly a quarter of the students while from africa. rural cons make up the biggest group. 8000 students. the 2nd largest group from nigeria with 4000 students, followed by egypt with 3500. she didn't increase effort in enrolling international

students. deep back to the soviet era, the ukrainian government invested heavily in higher education in a deliberate attempt to attract students from new independent african country. today, many young african c ukrainian universities as a gateway to the european job market. biggest rocket is it to get visas, living costs, and the high acceptance of degrees from creating the teeth were white. but when russia invaded ukraine at the beginning of 2020, to mocking the largest conventional military attacks in world war 2, thousands of africans, students were to see exactly how many students remain. ukraine remains unclear, the africans who left and now spread across europe. but they often don't receive the same treatments as ukrainian national, even though they're cleaning the same war. now they're facing obstacles as the feet of the education hangs in the balance. i am area calling xavier is with me in the

studio. thanks again for joining us. thank you. i mean we have seen and heard a little bit of the talent this that you went through back. tell us, give us a bit of an idea what your current situation is. well, vision is getting better, but like it's still us. tricky. yes. always, you know, german grew up, received a long time and an expert goodness and i go like something on the immigration where i have like 2 months to present why i can go back to my country and something like that. so like it's still, i'm still and i go to the say no, oh so if you're unable to put up a good defense of why you want to remain here, then what i don't know. yeah, sure, sure. i mean, we're going to bigger, more into that and i makes you decide to go home or not, you know, you know, compared to other students that you know, but i'm assuming you've been in touch with your family. come home. did he

understand the exact situation you're in? and i wouldn't say so own and say that out of interest, why don't you know work, what's what you're going through. i mean, the regular someone i was going to brought. there is nothing else, like there's nothing else disturbing. you just knew the person that brought that up there. when we know what happens about what you go through, but i just, i think it's not even my please let them know. i think really why i mean, they do know russia, i talk to you. yeah. dana logo and find out even if you're doing okay or not. oh yeah. de know i'm doing okay. okay. i mean, i've got a place to stay now and i can feed myself and yeah, i think us the thing that mothers the most so here, so i don't think they don't need to know about the whole german broker. so that's interesting. now i did see earlier, we're going to find out soon your, your plan if somehow things don't go smoothly. yeah. if you want to go back home on us,

we will not thought because we will talk soon about them whenever tenant home is an option. but let's fast here from another nigerian. well hourly. i'll do my g. he studied medicine in ukraine, not escaping the rush and strikes. he's now building a new life for himself in the netherlands. since russia invaded ukraine and february millions have left the country among them leisure, only after magic. he remembers the fear. i felt the war was just going to be foot soldiers and tanks. i didn't know nothing was gonna come from, you know, air strikes on all that. so the thing that i really, really got me skate like really, really scared was the strike. so all i, while i decided to flip, so we converged at the city center in the pool 9 am. then we go 3 boss the bus, the destination of the bus was supposed to because whose garage they from was good to ship this the end in. yes, keep the country for was now continued from chevy. misty to was,

grew from was good to sound zone is the border with ukraine and hungry. after sony, we'd go to hungary and i have friends in germany, some in netherlands, and then they were telling me, oh, germany's and netherland is will because of my own person. jimmy was never an option netherland was it? hoola is one of 20000 african students who studied in ukraine. i saw you can as a stepping stone from ok. finish your studies. now you have a said if get from ukraine, you can choose to go back to your corn. she, you can choose to, maybe you want to go right? yes. in the medical classes, examine us or you go to canada or somewhere else like ukraine was like a stepping point to, you know, pie volts you into that. would you want to be follow? know, lives in the refugee shelter and alteration in the netherlands. so why do i want to go back to nigeria like i don't have any reason to do, but there's no reason there's nothing for me there. but if, if there was something for me to do, i wouldn't even be in ukraine in the 1st place. and this is not just me, this is,

this is average nigeria and you'd store kim, we're lucky the country is not really, really conducive. forced to even stay or want to go back. he has since found a new group of friends when, when, when we got here, when i met people, we like people go it in my condition, even worse. i mean, we're running from ukraine together. so you only make sense that people that they see like maint attracts and then people are you experiencing the same thing. adapting movement is easier for you to connect follow. well, if next step is registering at a university and another, i want to get my status here legalized 1st. unless you can let me know. we'll keep this is my stay here. this is my status. so from there i can look towards some universities. i've been doing that he wants to continue his medical studies, but also hopes to follow his dream of becoming an actor. yeah,

i believe something good is coming very, very soon. and yeah, come with goodness, i'm headed for you know, beautiful achievement and beautiful. i say, ah, very interesting story. we're back in the studio with collins xavion now. and i, i do as government officially, you know, gave a statement the see, the a welcoming all. and i do and stuff, let the war write that they're going to put you back in school, you know, back or but you're, you just have to accept to go. you decided not to go. why is nigeria not an option for you? or is it is one thing for a government select still your citizens to come back and, and he's on and i think for them to tell them to come up and then give them a path for them to continue on. right. so like if you're telling students to come back to major a, come up to what actually there's been once of university strike like michigan since

the war started or universal federal universe in the, in driving on stripe. that is one. so students go on, go to school to economy is getting worse by day, even with the, with the, with the war happening. it's not just affecting just print is also it has a global impact, right? it has a good man, friends with russia and ukraine and even africa. so the, the things keep going up and it's was a fair enough point. but i mean, the economies is bad everywhere. i mean, you feeling it here in germany. you're not in school anyway. so sound would feel why wouldn't you want to be in the comfort of your home with your family surrounded by love, eating the food that you like and why would you just want to remain here hustling? exactly. so beam surrounded by love doesn't really it doesn't really. yeah, exactly. he doesn't be there on the doesn't put food in the amount of 8 people

living in one house, right. so like, i feel i feel me going back is just going to be like an extra bird. i when see cream to study, right. i went to like i, she something going back with actually what i went to do doesn't make sense to me. so why do it? okay, yeah, she could also avoid houses to try something else. okay, new. okay. i wish we had all the time to dig into all the questions that i have, but i think we'll leave it here by letting you give a message to the young guy for consolidate, particularly those that fled back. why and ukraine, and maybe hearing from someone like you officially, 1st thing in a while, what, what is your message to them right now? you, i think let's, let's make you look into this and this way and it seems like everything is actually on shore. everything is totally out of out of blind split. if you, if you can just look for something,

something that you feel like would would give you that hope or revitalize your like energy to like, keep going on. restarting is never easy, but you've got to do it. i mean, and everybody who like explains the way, i like part of the, like really few who have explained both upon them. it under war at the same time, not me to save you surviving. so why not just keep going, you know, thank very much calling for that, and i wish you all the best obviously, and how things go. it's a long wait, but i hope things turn out good for you. thank you. thank you. wow. some people decide to remain abroad. others returned home like at lien alba. she left sally onto the u. k. i. the age of 17. i stay in the u. k. was prolonged by the civil war in her home country, and eventually so returned home and is using her new found skills to help young people jumpstart the korea. s. as much as you know, we have major gaps and it would be nice for everybody to come home and feeling

those gaps and everything. some people actually create more value from being out there. everybody doesn't need to come home and live at home. i'm i'm, i'm the managing director of job search job search is a human resources fan. so we do recruits man skills development and just general human resources management services. i'm so employee is i was wanting free town. so at 17 i left home and went to the u. k. when i left i thought i was going for a year now to do my fema and i'll be back. but unfortunately, the war prolonged my day and i was there for 7 and a half years. i learned a lot. it was a good experience to me. it made me grow up. it made me see things differently. but

i also found studying quite difficult because i just couldn't picture the, the environment that we're talking about. when i tell my parents that i was moving back, my dad didn't want me to come back before completing my studies. but i promised him that i would complete my studies, but i needed to come back fast, mentally. really. i needed to be out in the okay. i needed to be here. when i was moving back, i had to my tv to my mom and she said it should my aunt and be away from accounting firms accounting, dropping my tv. oh. so i have that in mind. you know, when i moved back and thought about how i could help are the people who wanted to come back to, you know, find the jobs. my friend had a website called you and i used to look through the newspapers and post the job ads from the newspaper onto the website. so some people would send it to me

. could you please print this and send it off for me? so when i come home in the evening, i send off the application. so that's how you started me to my vision for job search is for us to be the, the goal to win one. you require challenge. but then on the job seeker side, when the looking for job or when they're trying to acquire skills in order for them to get the right job. i want job such to be the place that the to the best advice that i have received is to me to slow down and recognize stance icons do everything that i want to do. my advice to people moving back would be come with an open mind. come with an attitude of to learn, right?

but then also to teach for me, i'd like everybody to have a connection. i'd like them to have their children have connection. i don't want them to lose lose africa. and when you make sure you, you do things for your kids, not the police right. don't complain too much about the power and the water and all of that. don't get the kids into that zone. just enjoy and get them to enjoy. so they want to come back, but then let them also see their issues that they would want to help fix as well in the future. do it just have a nice balance. yeah, i really like the whole thing about balance, right? very good advice fast she gave there. too much complaint. sometimes. let's let the people buckle. now feel like all hell this lose out there. so yeah, i hope you also got that advice. now let's move to quite a different topic. how many talents can you boast off?

i can sing and tell stories, but that's about it. but i would never rob showed up with africa could ne paul, she's a dancer for jo grappa, d g and the soon to be olympic athlete. this all try to leonard woman is reason the baffle artist, an athletes in her home country. she gave us a glimpse into a day in the life of a rising star, jauntily and emotional, practical things on one side to my job, and the living. on the other hand is the thing that keeps me saying, it's a thing that allows me to be creative to be myself, to concentrate, challenge myself. dancer, choreographer, d g and olympic athlete. courtney, paul, list of talents are hard to feed into a schedule. it's actually surprising how much she gets done in a day. fiancee is her biggest supporter. i've known my partner for over 10 years. you just took another sample that in a couple months ago. it's quite

a new house. i'm like in the happy newspaper, probably been as good i got into dancing around 11 or 12 years old by the time i've been a generic many years. so i finally found like something that was a combination of skills to get that. and we just guys do all these cooler things that goes with a goods and like the back to like, i don't know the back. and that's why it's like minneapolis exercising takes up a big chunk of courtney's day, especially as she gets up to the present house. african idea takes i have to be serious stops throughout the year to employees to qualify for the olympics. last year was our 1st run. i can 1st on the, on the continent under the female. so i'm on my way to women who came many of the other countries have facilities in place, have uniforms of coaches. assistant coaches have program and we kind of was

fighting along everything with breaking seen it changing the mel. this is female in terms of numbers here. it's growing. for the 1st time, we just had a females in the south african final, you know, where previously it was to go at a time. courtney is also on track to reach new heights in south africa. the music industry latest really has and half south african people, a wide nomination day of the year i with this is where my career not being able to get on stage the going through your body than when would you get the 1st part and then everything suddenly like, disappears, you know, it's, it's really like, you know, of its own without any local success. stories to inspire her career caught me in forging her only

a head. and he's setting the bar incredibly high for brake done for across south africa. being a female in the space, it gets tricky. the system wasn't set up to me in any way. so you constantly forcing your foot through a draw and it wasn't made with you in mind. but i think the harder you pushed through it, you able to see that actually better than a lot of the guys and i shouldn't be waiting for permission to somebody to open a door for my old to tell me it. okay, to be there. i need to be okay with you know what? she's right in life. you have to push for what you want. don't just wait for it to be handed to you. i can't wait to see her break dancing audio olympics. fingers crossed there. now i hope you enjoyed every bit of this. sure, because i definitely did that. it's time to wrap it all up. let's keep the conversation going on facebook, instagram or youtube. you can also email us at 77, d, w dot com. now will play you out of the show with a truck titled africa, one of a kind by angelica quito,
