6:34 am
passports in the world. as a result, many young luxuriance have resorted to using travel agents to assist them and their visa process. why best people need those claims for me? we need to consult on this because we sound like, let's say that immigration lawyer like the they have to go to the spots that you are travelling, those low, meaning all of the requirements of really the go on the website to check their companies. yes. believe those are still the we, we of consultants know the extra documents to provide to make sure that the uses a 100 percent of them given to them. yes. or we also prepare them what they have to say in front of because a lot or why some visa agents might have their client's best interest at heart. agents have also been known to scan applicants take the money and not deliver the promise visa. others make clients the large sums of money over several years for the visa services. as a result,

6:36 am
money. make my boy i hope that's next. serious. what's my know back on have the opportunity to to bring them over and be called be some good. i get out of funding . yes. you know, if there's a be just for very long time it says look, somehow dog selling us. it is this again, victor will soon be boarding a plane to start a new life in canada. yes, wireless future has planned out. many youngsters like him are struggling to find a promising jeff or route for themselves. and so what are you seeing in your country? do you know any people who left? actually, you might be a person who decided to explore a job or a business opportunities in a foreign country. we wanted to find out how the situation differs from country to country. so we sent out our team of correspondence to find some answers. here's what they brought back from. gonna uganda. and can you brain going to have
6:37 am
a mixed impact in kenya? i'm the one hand, it takes highly skilled workers outside the country. on the other hand, they sent the large amounts of money back home in 2022. remittances from canyons living abroad became the largest source of for an exchange, amounting to $4300000000.00 us dollars. in fact, can use present the amount that he hopes to double list number and exports. even more canyon work of kenyan data shows that migration increases with the level of education, health care records of some of the main professionals leaving can yes, but, but adults all further education. in fact, kenyon, health care. what? because when to the st complaining about, the lack of good and stable jobs, even though hospitals here and the stuff being 2022 gun is youth unemployment rates to 7 point one full sustains. a millions of young guardians are closed on the list, searching for new jobs. many of them, sadly,
6:38 am
including those within central skills, only see themselves green, better outside gonna waste that one police. like you have killing your tire, you don't mind shooting down there. boosted, move in from go from floods in an inspection. now it's looking at a country like gemini, and he said, plays for the future. well, what excites me all by the carrier. we can see is that you get 2 lane between views from i've asked if we get to a new ideas, think technology new though, we just didn't know if that's the key destination has been in europe in the america . in fact, the gemini is 2nd only to the united kingdom, are stop destination use for the game unity ashbrook populations. but then i use also one of the countries that you have quotes, frankly targeted with this migration reforms that foreclose was totally by and migration se, into the office counseling the young people sick into trouble has also been a prisoner for some time now. but i key for close now is providing the advisory
6:39 am
services for come use who have the expertise and how willing to work abroad with gun are still struggling economically and not being able to create opportunities for many young people migrating outside has become in this society, write that down and loves re for millions, including professionals. and you've gotten the problem of brain drain because of poor documents issues. it's hard to appreciate the real impact of this problem. many proficient us tried seek employment outside the country, mainly because of unemployment. and for a pick model, so troubling outside your gun, that is not an easy attempt. mainly because of visa, i'm shovel restrictions, but since you were lucky to find jobs outside your gun when they need some don't even want to come about. hm. that's an interesting point. and dried people who
6:40 am
leave don't wants to come back. but what do you think? do africans who move abroad have an obligation to later return to their home countries? or would you say they shouldn't even leave in the 1st place? well, here's prove that this is a very controversial topic by calling 8 of the money was in league, goes to find out what people there think. and here's our street debate, the hello and welcome back to this going to 7 percent. this week. we are back in the julia and before we continue, i'd like you to pick to something. imagine living in a country where you feel completely frustrated by your government's efforts and feel absolutely no way out. what do you do? well for most nigerians they decide to jeff the yorba would for run. and so huge is this problem that recently elected president to bu, asked people in the diaspora in the us to come back home and forget the
6:41 am
frustrations of the previous government. but is this enough to allow the young people here to remain? that's the question we have to day. and i'm going to begin with some soon. now you a, one of the people who we thing, but look, this country is not really watching out for me and given the chance i am taking the 1st flights out of here and never coming back. why? this is so i meant to just the entropy. no, i think about me having solutions, so many problems. and then still trying to box will be the 1st struck to thinking about pa thinking up our main center thinking of buying a plastic or that will help me do many things. i won't want to do that. i've had several of challenges like these where i'm trying to do something bored. mean i gave to the environment, there is no wi fi like i make me do stuff. there's no infrastructure like i give me an idea of what i want to do is very frustrating. ok, so let me hear from other people here, just the state of affairs and i do at the moment. how would you describe it's only value? so this gets a little mentor. i yeah, i might see things on on walking,
6:42 am
right. but it's not going to be to, i'm sure i try is going to be a better place if we will contribute all thoughts to make it. okay. so you say it's going to be a better place, but what is the situation present? and um, yes, that's the reason why we are developing issue on the rights we have multiple posit west on what he it splits, nobody lives up because i've got some data. okay, so i want to talk to dr. fuller for a 2nd because you are a doctor practicing pediatrician. and also interestingly a visual artist. i've no idea how you manage those 2 schedules. i can barely keep mine up. so um your industry picked up medicine is one of the west affected by joppa. actually just from the reports that we're hearing, tell us a little bit about that. are you seeing an impact almost 90 percent of the people? i went to school, we'd have left the country. they something about being a medical doctor. that nature is really feeling that if you go to other countries, western countries, date is the huge amount of respect. and you know, there's a, a chair it is given to medical doctors that we do not have here the fees, very bad,
6:43 am
leaving conditions very bad. and you know, we, if you break down what's the government's is given to the doctors in the country here, it's really bad. i have a lot of hope for the new, the new um, then your routine, hoping that things would change for sure. i'm also hoping that my, my colleagues will also come back to the country when they have developed themselves and the most people of just one to run. if you a doctor. there's no reason for you to be major if that is what everybody's saying . okay, let me come back to own desire here for a 2nd because you and you said that, you know things are bad, but there's no reason to go when you hear dr. follow speaking. i mean, surely those to wells don't belong together. i'm so i'm not saying there's no reason to go right. boys are going was going to insure if i will, but he lives venture also venture. that's the truth. we will have to go. yes, you can go get to know that you have come back, come through the manager, come up close the structure that you just as a problem price. when you 1st of problem, when you saw the public, you create what, but you need to talk to a manager. i get to know that you'd like to come back and create opportunities in
6:44 am
and you mention it, but it's okay. i do, i do i do. i agree. i agree because all these nice truck is you don't want to keep open for 62 years. we have to print it out. what? no question about the people that close on that body of fucking imagine me get out of the country, go to knowledge, come back and i'm be several times. have been cute, just because i need to strike a deal with someone and government to make my dear come to reality. i mean, are we talking about a country where you can literally, you know, see what we happened in this time? no secure, but you know, your spot structure that they me that i should go? no, no, no, no, i'm not saying that all the countries. i know like that i'm saying that the settings are things that i should be set to know about the things that should be not for me, provided by the government. that should be able to do what we have talking about. gimme a 2nd because we mean yes, and i also think that you kind of discount the fact that the programs and that you have very institutional people leave this country. i have friends who have left this country. i mean, 3 years they have houses because as mortgage systems,
6:45 am
we don't have documents here. we do lots of docs and that you need to do is accessible. i don't need a recall for me, please. so i think that we're coming from the political privilege. let's. let's listen to i think i can somebody please of privilege if you think that you know, my pressing can access the things that you said i no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is, this is the pro, but i just oftentimes because we have access to social media, we think everyone's life is perfect. it's not like that even in the abroad. you have to have a certain kind of salary to get certain kind of mortgage to get a certain kind of house every way has its own kind of strategies or rules. he says something about a doctor. and i know even when i was trying to study medicine, doctor was supposed to have some kind of ingrained reason to want to help people to sort of the fact that people are running away because of money. it's a problem to me. you took an oath to save lives, but don't tell her the me there. hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. let's just come back to center for a 2nd. you said something about the medical profession and questioned what is
6:46 am
driving the duct of desires and what their motivation is. yes, and the media is trying to explain the difference. the is a sense of belonging never beyond credit by the level of being green misstep that comes with a professional. you know, that's another country i won't be. i feel like will be the solution. if you say that we don't speeds, but it's just, yeah, it might have called the 9. yeah. am i correct now? yeah, the, i'm not, you know, your life into caring for people. it's a catch me for the point. you're making sure that people are life, then you should do that by level of respect from the government. okay? no problem, because because we've invoked the name of the duct of here, let's reintroduce him to the discussion. if you don't state who then gets to fix the system, you're trying to downplay the, the importance of p. and that is very, very, but these doctors and the machines, do you understand? most people come from families where the mother, the father, everybody's boring money to send this boy to school. you get, they become a medical doctor going heavily at home because you have
6:47 am
a lot of shift. so many patients to see 1st before because in a drug we have about 4000 patients to one doctor a. so i don't mind, you know, i'm ok. we've seen as many as i want to see. you understand what happens to me? where do i go to of, to seeing everybody? where am i sleeping? what am i it's, there's something interesting which i discovered as i was doing research on this topic, which is where exactly nigerians are going. and not surprisingly, the countries, the top, the list, the kind of the us euro, and only one african country featured on that list and that's was gone. so if the idea is to bet your lives not really to leave in the abroad, as we are saying, why not move to follow african countries? why not go to send a go? can anybody help me with that, i'm send a big country. i mean, sure, i'm sure do you know what is up and commenting gonna, you know, just, just aren't gonna correctly. is it developing countries? yes, true. but i mean, i'm feeling good deal. and if you're telling me that the problem is infrastructure, internet access to health care, the many african countries which can support you in those few. okay. so tell me one
6:48 am
or 2 of the codes. can i use one of those? okay. yeah, i agree with you. so i must say that, you know, you remember that the minutes i'm just trying to figure out if it's a fun to see about living in a west on wells, or if it's about truly improving your life. we have a system of shame when people are dropped off and they don't make enough money to come back home and people are laughing at them. the shame is that it is and saw me leave. it is in every system, every you need from the family. so please have your confidence as a start from the family. so we're going to change that with this generation. all right? oh, we've never had clapping me debates because that's not the yes you can look to follow something. i wanted to think about solutions, right? i completely agree with what she said, you understand, having the shame is low, just only about if you leave your 1st to come back. if you feeling names area to you will have yourself. so nobody wants to fail. there's also the,
6:49 am
the issue of the glamour. you mention, why don't people go to other african countries true and what he wants to do with white people. i don't know what, i don't understand it, but i would say these lastly, right? if you want to move, you move it publish, you have a skill, you have the reason, you know, you apply, you know what you're going to do. okay? so the question is, how do we make sure, but not the people don't leave? there's nothing intrinsically wrong with people wanting to emigrate to leave, but the people want to come back and build this country. how does that happen? any ideas? i'm 1st i think is very important that we look within, like we've been talking about purpose, i think is also very key that we need to be honest with ourselves and do research. i know many people are speaking from the points of frustration and anger. so i want people to realize that we do have some of the envelopes that we won't want because we speak for many points of anger that we kind of just dismiss things. we'll just have to absolutely look within. all right, so you're giving me a solution of how to stay and do you want to be? yeah, i think is that by you,
6:50 am
because i mean the value pay are in wherever you find yourself. i think you're by, you're thinking about the fact that you are the assets through the country and not a liability thinking about the fact that you guys have the phone provider. okay. so that purpose for living that you were talking about. so uh, yeah, at the beginning of this debate, we did have a very simple question. last so many nigerians leaving and drugs, i think we've had very many visas. should they stay? should they go, i think they will continue to go. and whether or not they come back is something that we only have to wait and see. well, something we don't have to wait to see is you next time for a show. thank you for watching the all right, i don't know about you, but i would have loved to be on that rooftop. i mean that discussion was on fire. now if you wants to see you before the debates go take it out on our youtube channel. so europe is a popular destination among nigerians who wants to jump high. in fact,
6:51 am
if you meet an african in berlin, chances are pretty high that they are from nigeria. but german capital is full of job opportunities and that's exactly what attracted to a mecca. it can, so i've been living in berlin for a few years now. and so far things are going pretty well. of 29 german sees wants to jump off, like i just want to like, leave the country and go to a new country like you've been behind france on loved wants to explore new opportunities to see how life is outside of major and then get to grow into a korea on every other aspects of life has been moved around the time that a lot of my friends mostly felt like we all decided please, i'll find some way so far as the fortunate fits soon, leaving nigeria that is with thousands of young's professionals,
6:52 am
are planning to do some of these and search off greener pastures, toddlers, to experience new places and where culture or broaden the horizon for jim county. it was the less the young software engineer from a number of days left nigeria in 2021 and came to burnett a very long time and a volunteer to leave like how france and billing offerings across the, jamie, i'm in other countries. now i've been telling me to leave the country, so i felt so comfortable because i in for to any major as a, i could actually rent an apartment in. now one of the best places boards i take points in time, i just have to leave voice in the income easy because that means leaving my family behind, leaving the cultural dom already used to live in the foot behind. and so i was like, coming to an entirely different coincidence almost every 2nd nigerian asked in 20. 19, by the pew research center said they planned to move abroad to search for better word opportunities. european cities like berlin,
6:53 am
attract many nigerian professionals like gemma, other spots to jump her to are the united states, canada or great britain. but was a new place come new challenges the they had us back to being in tell me. i think the language on the call cultural, i would say the germans, i be reserved. so on the bureau cursing, germany is actually a lot like unlike many of her peers, jim aka has a good job back in 2022. every 2nd youth in the area was unemployed, according to the national row of youth, also struggling with insecurity that governance and unfair working conditions. double put chances is really like what makes a lot of nigerians wants to leave. unlike a big top, you know,
6:54 am
environment to interface, cuz like jimmy is really like cool, configured like strong economy, lots of job opportunities please. and then the last b telling to do this work as a mentor, as habits. so and insurance just wants to go out of their way to been so tough to where they will be really paid well for doing defense and i did to endanger. but as tempting as moving a brock may sound, it also means leaving a lots behind me. so my family to use my friends, i means the food. i miss the people in general. yeah. and also the one. so i have a tropical countries, so definitely the i'm is the ones because it has to do with them. and all right now, jim, i said grab the opportunity to work in germany and does not redirect to cheat is ready for whatever the future brings. be it in germany, nigeria,
