What has never been discussed is the impact of these memories, the persisting scars they left in people's minds long after the war was over, and so last week, I finally asked.
Nigerian student Collins Xavier went to Ukraine with the hope that it would catapult his career. But then the war changed everything. Since escaping Ukraine, Collins is now trying to restart his studies in Berlin and get his future back on track.
We meet two Nigerian students who escaped the war in Ukraine and are now trying to chart a new course for their futures in Europe. We find out why Ukraine was such a hotspot for African students in the first place. Plus, we meet a young woman who returned to Sierra Leona to help fresh grads kickstart their careers and we hit the dancefloor with South African break-dancer and DJ, Courtnae Paul.
