in social 5 minutes on the w, these places in europe, a smashing, hold the rank who stepped into a bold adventure the treasure map for modern clo, discover some of us wriggled, bragging sites on youtube and also the hello and welcome to another edition of the 77 percent. this is a program where we do the platform to offer guests used to talk about a things that are important to them. i'm your host, my polity. now all over the world, economies on not doing that great. but especially on the continent. we are still dealing with the aftershocks of the covered and 19 pandemic, as well as the will in ukraine. the house disrupted global supply chains, not missed all of these shots. young people are showing

a mass resilience and that's what's today's program. it's all about coming up on the show. we discover how the high cost of living in kenya is wilson young entrepreneurs to miss huff choices. illegals, young, my g, u. s. assess the performance of the governments in our speech basic. and we close off with a trip designs to buy the best place of tablets and city cmc curve and 19 locked downs, had a severe impact on offer kind of caught on these. lots of people lost their livelihoods because of locked down. it was not just the low balance, but also the month for boots globally dropped, meaning that most economies that depend on exports were also affect us. as a result, many businesses are struggling, but as

a tough times make tough people less that's attain, yeah, well my colleague is kamani, find solace from into openness. how the surviving these hot ties on a cold morning and the outskirts of ne ruby, laptop slots. the apartments, the trends, melody 10, i got and move to the share, the 3 creative onto printouts take the time to catch up as the prepare breakfast. and of course, the record, the experience for social media. just over a year ago, the 20 something year olds chose to relocate outside the capital as a way to save money in dispute, the seeking skills. however, the country we simply doubled, the tax and fuel increased health insurance and introduced to housing levy. these changes have thrown the house switch plans, of course, and now they're making some tough decisions. and then when he gets like a really good gig of it gets really good income, we supplemented things in bulk. maybe it's just bits of

a bone size and move back today will be the increased cost of living is also affecting the interactions with $1.00 another. i can't express how we have got and that's a better space. that's communicating whether we a fight, seeing whether it's at work, whether someone has done something wrong. we've gotten to a place, we can have a discussion about each and the points it wants to make. one of us wants to move with the next month. the financial pressure for young people in the country is being felt beyond this apartment, latest government, because we view that the highest number of those unemployed in kenya of between 20 to 24 years old. for those, it's limited options on to government. protests have become a critical way to get the voices heard for tgm eliza. however, the response to the toughening economic times has been to get tough with the couple of photographer and they come out just having to dig deeper to keep their business afloat. has that changed? are you having to put in more capital just to keep the business funding?

definitely because that's some cheap mika products. sure. like over the counter products that you get to select, essentially worse how you want to make up to look, you know, just thinking about how you have to save you money and moving around. now you really don't want to look at the luxury things and say, oh, i'm going to do this and then come back home and worry about rental you bought food . cuz obviously the money is not enough to do both at times. the couple has now decided to go into retail opening an online shop that sells jewelry as a way to supplement that income. so there we have, it's the story of tv, and he's the one that came out have been able to retain that own home and live independently right now. but i'm going to speak to a young person who tells me he also has to move cities as well. as houses and move back to his mom's house because of how, how does things have gotten economically for them? we meet much longer just as he arrives actually is real estate office. he's been working here for a few months since he moved back to

a ruby of to his contract job in another 50 came to an end. i'm trying to establish myself getting over here on the rental space. i used to have the price was almost one and a half times higher. and now i'm trying to establish my self. i'm gaining day that the real estate space and hopefully make enough clients to, you know, keep my plans on track. you also have to make some tough decisions regarding your housing. tell me about that when you are leaving under your, your partner and through these notes. there's a little much new way to do what you want. so, you know, in terms of like relationships and, you know, friendships and, and situations of this. so it's kind of helps, you know, create your own space and your own nice, why you don't have to, you know, be looking heads of your findings as we leave. it's apparent, but despite the stories of hardship, the commitment from young people to do one thing, somebody, it's talking about tough decisions. the nigerian government in june this year decided to en, for subsidies. subsidize in full cost,

the country $10000000000.00 entering between 2 and the government says, well, it's simply cannot afford it anymore. that decision coupled with high unemployment, it squeeze in money out of pocket. the 77 percent. the trouble to live goes where it is to money met young. my 2 n's will told her how they viewed the country's attends out of columbia recovery hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in nigeria, and this country is president when he was elected the 29th may of 2023, and having to an economy in dire straits in the months since he's been in power. well that's in google has tried to take measures to uplift or re substitutes that economy. but the young people of this country are saying that their pockets are still not able to sustain what the country is demanding us. so today we are asking, is a government able to come to that a dwindling crisis?

so let me start this conversation by introducing 20 unders, who is an economist. uh, can you just paint a picture of what the economy looks like right now? inflation is really high of a dollar to the now or is um, is now close to a 1000. are it used to be uh, 200 and uh, maybe another 6 years ago. so you can just imagine what it is, the effects on the average every day person's pocket. so it's, it's, it is a situation where a lot of people are really going through it and it doesn't look like there is any hope on the rise. and because of the government and trying to, you know, get the funds to be able to fix the issues are also removing things like subsidies on petrol subsidies on gas subsidies on their electricity. so it's making it more difficult for my dress actually exist. okay, one of the reports i read said the 12 percent of the population living in to absolute poverty is you're in a jury and that really surprised me. you told me, are you seeing a difference since, you know,

as life of getting tougher for people and your generally send you a covering these issues? what is changing in the, in the society? no, that's for subsidy. as we remove these ethics and the cost of production, and then to pre know the needs that has lead to capitana can cannot even come up to it's not even enough to do his business. so it gets worse. now. people the, the gap between the poor and the reach is why didn't people that used to be in the middle class. i've gone now to, to know what class, because of this change. the soul could change. something that was supposed to help us has made everything was let me hear from the people in the audience. how has your life changed in the last couple of years? are you feeling the economic button? these are pretty tough to me. everything like when you go to the market to get any pay one, everything is just just too expensive. the house rate has increased. we as a, i used to pay a 1.5 on the islands, but now do we increase the to, to 1000000?

look the chip because the don't kid the own need to survive to understand the apart . but then we had to, we get those money from have a son. i have to feed my son. i have to, i have to just pick up 3 jobs to be able to meet. all right, to be so you wanted to say something to me. we just come mazda, of covey nights in, and we hole on this ton of what's happened during the that's the standing, the men do as the last job. you know, lots of, um, then they say shooting dates was closed on because the, the coupons continuing to operate. but then all the sweat knots can see that a told what the government puts in place without a system government puts in place to be able you know, what? so how do must said, do i do time like this? but then that is not to say nothing has been done. yeah, i'd like you to answer this for me because you already politics i. the reality is that the government must 1st i'd meet that each political parties miss management

of the economy has created a situation which has led to the for subsidy removal. the argument that they have made is that it is driven by 5th and the fact that they cannot fund projects. but unfortunately, you haven't seen this criminals who have been stealing from a commonwealth. and it has hardly been any prosecution of the so called criminals. so leaving expenses have skyrocketed because the big yes, price stock that any economy can take its energy. right? if, if the cost of energy continues to hit, the roof will continue to create poverty to a point poverty. right? so uh, but you've said something really interesting, which is that the knock on effects of this, it's driving people into desperation, into serious, serious poverty. but 20, i'm coming back to you with the same question i started with. why is this happening in nigeria? you know, we, how is it possible that we're still talking again, subsidizing fuel in an oil rich country. those 2 things don't seem to belong at the

same sentence. but general context is when an economy is in a bad state, like the one niger is in, uh, from years and decades of, you know, bad mismanagement, you know, policy mismatch, you know, raisins theft it's, we'll need to take some hard, hard decisions major as glossing here not by one decision, no by one bad president is getting here by several bad actors come bringing us here continuously. so the question is, what do we do to fix it if we're really as excited all really as passion is about making niger at best, i think the real job is in holding government accountable level. let me actually ask the person who is in a position, how do you hold the government accountable? you're relaxing here with you. i mean, we're joe, can you kind of hold these people to account to what's the, what's the point? so the people shouting does will goodman a comfortable actual singing songs,

you can hold them to account. you have to driving the long s u v. 's with the outcome for his dusty flying 1st class. definitely not pointing hundreds of eats and flying them across the world for meetings. so we're choking. so if it's really a joke, why you in a position in politics, if you really think nothing can change just my argument is we need to begin to think, you know, own self interest that citizens because the politicians take care of themselves every time, 7 days, a week twice on sunday. we have to think sofi city 5 selves. i don't understand with our own self interest lives. that's why i'm excited about the young people who are fighting for low school fees. yeah. pursuing their own self interest because the politicians would always take care of themselves. let me hear from give me a 2nd. let me just give me a 2nd to, to hear from martin because you mentioned self interest in marketing has actually been arrested for criticizing the government. correct? um, so correct. that's correct, but i, i wanted to really decide do it's iowa because um, when you talk about accounts. okay, is it been removed?

his glasses are serious, not very talk about so it didn't governments like counseling who we've seen a lot of progress in terms of who didn't governments, how comfortable. so for example, what we are doing here and expressing ourselves governmentally since we also who's in governments are comfortable saying, listen, the subsidy. you removed your, your digits in the very, but on hogwash we use with the fixed refineries festival. so that's, we come through just but you can so i like that because it brings us really nicely into some solutions, right. if you had the chance to be in those top offices today, what would you do to change things around? it's giving gen z. let's hear what you have to say. you know, there's something that's constructive criticism and i feel like we, a citizen should be allowed to constructively, could decided to go from the government without being condemned. busy what's, what's the, the default blake, you say you should because see that us need a notion because we'll be seeing that's tricked the 3rd. and finally, the people which, which is the most important factor in this entire conversation,

needs to realize that the people, why government are no gods they came up from us. they need to be held accountable. okay, i think that is a beautiful place to wind up. it was a very complex question that i asked, but i think to, and she has tried to sum it up really nicely and i don't the, at anything the for you for watching. i thank you always. and so you next time the listening to those young people, i feel really inspired because they are willing to take on the government and hold them accountable. thank you very much. it is and the entire panel because that's what this is all about. just remember that if you want to see the full version of that street debate, you can go onto our youtube channel. now we've had from the young people in legals, bought this income, paula, johannes,

back and across the continents future this. and they have ideas on how to improve the current economic situation. so let's see of them. how would you consider government to to not tax the small businesses until a specific time when they have grown and being able to employ a big number of what cousins in the congress, the taxes, the government could use on the costs of the education. so as or they need to get access to education their minds when the minds are due by that, that they are different. it to get to be was they don't want to, you know, on a v. i think the longer ins plan can be for different students that complex for testing different things. if it could be made available for them in different 6 of you know, to the professions at this setting, to attend fellowships or trainings and the different germs that they're doing to do after studying all countries suffering from

a lot of craziness. so the people who have like high powers politicians and the government, they're not opening up spaces and channels and giving the youth jobs, they think coming. indexing students really for the thought to see some changes. south africa. huge changes are the advocates just hoping for the best there's money in the country. there is no money where i didn't get to that money to travel outside country while buying new cars. everybody's getting that money from the economy. so, but at the moment, and so ms. my me is anymore maintained at this and nothing seems to infuse right. so i don't think that's gonna get changed at the moment. maybe some america or something. i guess perhaps we don't really need a miracle. because a while ago i interviewed interpreters of the african gym on young lead us and business. all i dial for them here in bell. and this is a collection of young ceos who run small and medium sized enterprises or assemblies

. and according to the world bank estimates account for most of the businesses created world wide be crucial for creating jobs us, and it's showing economic development. so what do they make of the current economic situation on the continent and how the situation can be turned around, be cut off with 2 business leaders. and here are the thoughts. what we could be doing is transmit the middle part, which is the 2nd 3, and that's as a manufacturing. and if you connect that to the importance of, for example, food items. and so you notice that manufacturing, it's something i mean developed countries, how invest that it is actually, but so we need that stick, touch african governments, you, most of cities you can do this may be

a very unpopular political decision. the reason is the subsidies often distilled to market and kind of leads to in the future in africa wanting. that is the only days that the subsidies most likely beneficially to reach, for example, subsidies on the floor bill having a repeated kind of effect on the economy may not directly benefit the poor who do not close you. besides subsidies, car results in overall clothes auction of setting who's leading to resource nissan location. so you're moving subsidies, country up resources for more criticality. there's like huge occasion healthcare and infrastructure that last point is quite controversial, but also listening to gully. he's opened up a new perspective on subsidies, but what do you think now away from the economy? i want you to meet my are you, i'm silly. my. she is a self thought, the visual office based in one box that who creates fun in one dallas,

join on the cultural and artistic melting port of his why he closed it for the 7 year old now come buses, the cities most visited vineyards, but wait, what on dallas, let's find out together. i mean, secret circle in ancient sense, greek via popular across asia. but this month like it's getting an african me callback and the touch of local swahili sleep. but the one thing is the, the exit. i get these a plus a this we, me 5 the, it's the guys that done this and no outcome one side yet in wasa. so it's all, is it this beneath the creative mind behind the stunning drawings is 27 year old mary, i'm superman. she's a soft talk. mandela artist, from the coastal city of mombasa and kenya. maria, i'm learned about the asian artful in 2015. as an interior design student at china,
