the last check it out, the 77 percent in 60 minutes on d w. what our sports, all of our scoring we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on d w. the, this is the news africa coming up on the program reading nigeria cheap field. the president is defending his decision to spread the subsidy, though it is pausing paint at the country's spinning station. also coming up on the show, pennsylvania is more than to get into the presidency of submit how son she's bringing change, but we may feel positions because we say she must do more. lots of problems get

snapped up by germany's supper legend. lot, thomas hayes. what's in it for the gun and club? the hello, i'm christine. when do i? it's good to have your company. niger is president bull attainable has asked for patients as he defends his decision to stop subsidizing feel. the government stays the subsidy which has been in place since 1977 will officially be withdrawn from the end of june. it comes at a time when nigerians already struggling to cope with record high on employment and poverty. inflation in the country. is that an 18 year high? the cost of fuel and transport has already risen sharply since prism to know who made the announcement in his in alteration speech. and people are paying up to 3 times as much at the bottom. a closed petrol stations,

twos of people desperate to fill up a stations with as to open and skyrockets, and prizes. my germans have been accustomed to cheap fuse for decades, but now with the costs of subsidies, people here in the ghost say they can't afford the increase in causes. accordingly, the waste subsidy have really been had a notice for my lea at them, and then they'll give you if we talk 184 and i are both assets. yes. the i bought one detail for 100 for 435. now presently, why we look at transportation going to was east hi uh, maybe or any nights work. you know what you can watch the food. everything is expensive. so man is really affecting those, the gomez. you just have miss your named your and all of this. um salary has one

cruise, so you can imagine so one uh, a friend of mine is sub 700 from. so look at it to let you know if he is 10021005. easy understand it 2000. so it doesn't do much. there's lots in the niger runs on the field. it's not just cause the system trucks. people rely on generates as to popular homes and businesses. and surprise hike is having a knock on what prizes have reason to any nitrogen. so a red is struggling with both these extra bad. my java is oh, rich and one of the top 2 crew of expletives on the continent. but it cannot refine enough. so it has important, it's petrol and sold it to the public, to subsidize surprise, the res hope a new refinery might help. within the meantime,

should my insurance has stopped paying the real price of petrol, assumable ones, melting you is that the goldman should keep like pay for it. let's enjoy the country like, let's the poor risk lydia and roots. yeah, i thought you picked off people of quotes for you for a long time. might be beneficial for everybody. well, it's, you know, everybody's suffering. imagine the full by raleigh fix of these. so if you do remove out possible, there's only going to go home, you know, food prices every, i would have to not go no, i think i think we'll get it for some time after which is the refinery. so being constructed on them. so yeah, being close to what that i think the price of that will reduce law sometimes it will be just on i think $90.00 want to just j to something. it's not the 1st time this on popular move has been this caused previous administrations of sold

a back to way from seeing it's through. so cuts into feel subsidies will be major tests for tables administration. looking back, should nigeria have subsidize the building up refineries rather than the price of fuel? well, we put that question too. how one was stuff a, she's an economist based in a put you in the house for refiners do these for me between the sixty's normal function as we speak function 10 percent capacity. so which was right, which was the right thing to do when we need to finish

any foreign exchange for that. so the total key that didn't come cheap. refinery. importation crisis. right, well, so the bright meant to fire consumption . yeah. you list most of the instructors and, and while you're on the points, the world is now moving away from fossil fuels very quickly. does nigeria have a plan to transition from its oil dependency? or maybe the judge hasn't shown that you uh, especially how to get somebody to induction in the production

for the, for the 2013. and the target is to $265.00 . so we have that right. how how do i talk about trust you to come to see where it says, you know, we have the last 16 dollars oil more last week?

no, no no no, no sign into the image. so i don't think i have to become part of the, the, the straight edge which is good for so when we show, when we complete, when we cry, when we 1st, before we show that, you know, it's all entirely too much. all right. the thank you very much ma'am. well, it has to be, but they won't even say how them was stuff. so i took it to us and it was a thank you the in tanzania.

it's been more than 2 years since the mia has son took over the presidency of a inheriting power directly from her previously. so the latest john level for the career position. she's the 1st female president of the nation, that it's fair to say her time and office has seen her put tens in the out of pocket to transition opposition figures ostracized and imprisoned under member fully had been. welcome back into the fold and cheese relaxed restrictions on the press licensing position publications banned by who freed assessor taken us and to her directly addressing the press. my job is to work with journalists, communicating developments through the sustainable development goals. and i do, if we use the g, no one should be left behind to see, do journalists have a significant contribution to development? so why should i work alone and leave you tens of millions behind? it's not possible. if you have any problems, we should sit down,

talk and understand the government's challenges, and i can express your concerns so that we can build our country together. the whole point. so is her son now the in the country told grace and media freedom? does the reforms go far enough for here's the view from an award winning journalist on the front line of free speech as an investigative journalist and the founder of the permanent we so blowing website, jimmy forms max's mellow 5th to significant challenges and the previous regime for if using to name the names of the sources and possibly as i was a freeman at the previous administration and to let them of the freeze and instruction when i looked at incident been 16 and had that a number of cases in court, 3 cases, criminal cases and for not cooperating with the state on has to be via this will say is of content. and those cases came to an ending november printed print it

after appearing before the quote, a $159.00 times for more than 15 years. jimmy forums has provided a platform for open discussions in terms of the that has made each one of the most prominent socially picking sites in the country. despite the best efforts of the previous leadership of the late joining local fleet. and the wish it was subject to numerous obstacles and oppressive law enforcement back now may lucy's positive change in press freedoms and free speech. in townsend in prison, somebody, her son who took all facing pretty to, into one has broken a significantly from happy faces, policies. she has lifted the media button and advise the freedom of speech within the country. so if i look on pad, they contact me and said you are the president, especially if it comes to freedom of expression. and that is the number of cases.

what about option weight? uh, now the weight then by the media. they needed the platforms and that you're not going to be out of it as an for taking it to the public. because his come to the public and they list on previous the quote advice him for doing that. but at the moment they have to come and respond, which is what we need when it comes to governance. the miller's duty goes into a free press both of the times and google been in him. the 2019 press freedom award from the academy key to protect the june of these and several other accolades. but he remains skeptical about the current state of affairs in the country. those bundles to him. i think we need to amend all of these little make sure that, that according to what a the, the thing is besides proposing all the human rights we're proposing because we have

battles with infinity, people's rights and to that. and we can look at a light on and model of decision on that decision. we need to have, we can things with the beads of what we decide and how we way. because if it's not, the weight does not cost those issues over the constitutional reforms. that to the is it go by thomas told manual is expanding jimmy for runs st. jude and his pre do. the social media has the book pub, back to the people, and full on the stage of politics in pennsylvania. my next guest is the chair of the main opposition party, the center. i just had him at mr. freeman. bull, welcome to dw news africa in july 2021. you were arrested a hit for a ready you were charged with terrorism. and last year you were released from prison after 7 months. the charges were dropped and has the opposition. in times

they had now been free to do its work. i don't say the position is be feed my country, but what i can set the list is this position has improved from what it used to be right before my arrest. mm hm. yeah. so when we look at the current president, somebody has sense, right quick now, she took over from and all towards harry and atlanta. she now looks to be bringing change at that times it is can really believe and that makes your job as opposition hard. it doesn't, it, that's all not at all. she's bringing change us with the changes coming in to slow . and we believe that much more to be done. but one could argue that that would, is why she would pets need another time because she's opened up the civic space. she's allowing the position to operate. the world bank states that the private

sector as an engine of economic growth has been tapped into really what's not to like and why would intensity and give them more time to really get what she wants to do. going you see talking about the civic space and talking about the, you know, partly to call freedom that we think we enjoyed the country the so i, i will basic rights the don't have to be given by the discretion of the president this and intends on. yeah, for, for back my top, we have had a few feet or more space shrinking. right. political space shrinking. sabina writes, and you know, liberties shrinking is from does this thing that $16.00 she's, we investing quite slowly. you know, the freedom of the people needs to be guaranteed right of the selection, but not by that it by the discussion of a president seats when she came back to office, she says when she took the office,

nothing much has changed in terms of changes in the selection ok, she's given some presidential degree. we can author, it is political parties and other activities can also order that i didn't, has any yet. but this freedom of the media that is being, you know, like horrible that they had been given to, you know, the freedom of the media and whatever, but right, not just sense the same old press you've lowe's because that prohibit the freedom of expression and freedom of the media, that's the you there. okay. have you been changed? yeah, i don't see. she took a while. if it's, this is a 2nd e and now. right. i mean, some of these things do take time, but i, i want to understand what's going on with the messaging from, from your policy. because in, in the election in 2020 you 113 percent off of that was down from 40 percent in the previous election. as it seems you having to do

a lot of work to win back. the trust of times it is what is why is doing is resonating now we have a lot of support of design. yes, there was no election. a 2020 that goes together. this was one in the election. we had an election in 2015. yes. but the election seemed 2020. there was more election . what temporaries us that we're giving out to the public? well, to propagate the public aid it we had bottled paper, i mean, bottle of bulk says topped with fake a bottle of papers we had most of what, what candidates have these qualified, the very initial stage. so we can really say there is also the 2020 and let you know, reflect the aptitude, tuition on the ground now. so um, of course we know we have a moment that's best to do as a no pollution political button turns on. yeah. but our party's gone big credit, you know? okay, you to the bottom in memphis task. and the ccm the routing part to intense any of this is africa 2nd longest running party. they've been in pa,

for nearly 50 years now. what is that going to take? to make them history, to remove them from power. let me tell you what we've fee and fair election sees him, he's out of by tomorrow and they know these seats, who in the same, cannot win the government with dean transparent, say, election. they know that that's why they've been very difficult in accepting from the mental changes that will ensure that in the next election of a country, go into the elections with the independent and, you know, and look for commission. they don't want to go into the next election with the new inclusive constitution that we or i didn't forget. and in all these before, they know that in real says they have popularity among the masses of our country is really green dot. you're talking about the next election that's going to be in 2025 groups in testing for the presidency. before would you be running for president and

the next selection test we have to end off. he has to go weeks where it is. i'd have to cross the time we get by is to i'd like to talk about it now. all right, that's mr. freeman. bully chem and ultimate opposition pot to intense in the the center right to them. and we appreciate having you into the use africa. thank you. very much, i appreciate now the gentleman football legend and bundle when a low time attendance has become co, not off the gun in football club across lions, the form of buying music, pay a hoops. the club can serve as a pipeline to european clips and it needs to be gave to jim and magazine. he said, we want to bring young soccer players to europe legitimately and well trained. that's why we're investing it to the training facility here. now we've checked in with the cloud that one of the training sessions to yeah, how they feel about their new own is says these days there is

a bass around the training dates of the cra lisles. and again, it's a company called the collapse mission is identifying and developing yes of good times, helping them become professionals in ghana and beyond. it's in your old mit filled out for it because the drange dig cloud just over a year ago and already feels he has ripped the rewards. it's low on the, on the fluid that's ly owns and focuses on on inform deerfield personality as a whole. how we would fits into the society, especially when you are leaving please. when i know it's one to fluid. so my natural kids, these and all that stuff. so i do believe dr with time 5 to if i did dream way, i want to be lisles. we would, i study rates not going to be possible. founded in 2015 extra lie on so we're promoted to the premium leak in 2021 and half sales as published themselves in the

top division. the investment by a group around little so much. yes. will focus on improving facilities and training, as well as creating the past week for talents to transition to european football e. as through time out to us, a good month coming colors and making new dots day, something you can achieve. because the new things that to do new he, he has experience in the football. so he sees test and as that is why, maybe colleges to invest his money systems present in european football as to waltz or we buy to lie on sports. jims francis groups that much yes is presence will true down more interest for me if i sees with, with the investors coming on board. i'm hoping that other people will come in and hopefully have of develop go on a guy and football,

which is really important to me. and so the products and so everyone involved in equity lines that the whole would have gone to benefits from these kind of investments. yet football type thing, so boned in gonna more money quoted mean more young please realize the dreams of making a big in football us and to delve more into the business of soccer and africa, i'm joined by like they did we from dw sports? no, not a, it's good to have you in the studio. so the former captain off in germany's national football team, little time of days. he's both a club in gonna tell us more about the business model, the fees and visitors all pursuing here. well, so yeah, so the idea is to have a se, in where the parents come from, you know, i could rely on that. they were funded in 2015 by for my, again a block size leah from country and boom. so they've been growing ever since into

the, into the leak and then now playing the top division. so now this investment is to allow the, you know, have a, have an inroad for, again, young players to come to you. we'd love to, mateo says he's staying in the you of your market. he's a former basically guy legend on he. he has a little of impacting you so he can bring p as directly from from gun in to the top one. this is the clubs because some plans have already come from the club in the past, but now you can control who comes in and how the value you display as. but also the business with it is now also been turned around for can into, if you know, that now also owning clubs in europe. recently, the piece that found a finance tech entropy. no, and i just feel like, you know, i do both the club in denmark, another nigeria and of the condition. i mean already has

a club in impact to go. so you know, it's coming around which is interesting the way to explicitly. so the idea is they, they developed the african talent and, and then they expose it to your and, and that's the saying of the plays. it's been how the cubs generate. great, yes. so the trends, so income helps the close to grew and right. the shareholders also make money from the okay. and it goes wrong. so it's what you're saying. i think the shareholders make the money from this, but we'll, we'll know, colleagues in africa, benefits from for an invest is buying clubs like we're seeing with low mateus, with the aim of cleaning tenants to export it, to your full local tubs in africa. benefit from this it is, it is going to be good at least yes, it's going to be good for the leads because now you're going to have a higher level of competition with good type financing of these globes. and hopefully they grow their infrastructure also because that crown is going to play, especially actually allows to play in the, in,

in the national stadium in that class. but perhaps this investment from those of my sales is a group can help them build a stadium of their own. but also, you know, do it you, it will show for the rest of that is a potentially in the market space to buy i for control. and if you are a potential in face and you're looking around your shopping around for a time in africa, where is the best talent right now? well, the interest of the, the best airlines have come from west africa, down on nigeria increasingly sending uh, my lead book, you know, fossil so i would look at this piece has gotten a really looks like a very investment friendly place. but also nightdress growing. the business space, the we just recently passed the sports of business policy document that can help invest maintenance for. so these are countries where you talent on the investment from your own really, you know, bring returns into in those countries. well, interesting, let's say that they know what i, they, i do we as always, always good talking to you about sports and that is waived. we'll leave it for
