Center of the twitchel between kenyans and nigerians will get the lowdown on all correspondence the lagos stands by road. Hello im christine want to welcome to days of the news africa its good to have you along. The hope for a better life has ended in the Mediterranean Sea for thousands of african migrants trying to get to europe many of those who embark on the journey drown because the vessels that carry them are not fit for the purpose before they even reach the water these libya where people hope to set out from but for various reasons many dont make it out of the war torn country and remain stranded there now nigerians make up a sizeable number of those people and since 2017 a United NationsRepatriation Program has seen 14000 nigerians return home now office story isnt it all stays with a support program aims to stop people from leaving again. In the situation this desperate 27 year old tyke is a trying but he confines its up in 2017 us nigeria and wont up in the camp in libya he says that he could spare not after 9 months he chose to be repatriated when i was in libya are the most its myself im also glad it wasnt easy. Fast food you know if i go stay in the desert for 4 days without eating i toasted my poetry. For a while more thought we would need to do is more good stuff for me being better off in ones home country its also what gloria thinks now her dream to become a rino in Fashion Design that in europe vanished in the Libyan Desert she took to the road with 4 friends 3 died during the journey shes the only one who made it back. That just hard to believe that if i just would like to be able to do it for you too in a kid. Whos only human food on the phone with. Us and they are not it is normal she got a job through a Training Program hosted by 7 edo state and opportunity that evokes jealousy many young people think that return nice get preferential treatment is a priority for us to give returnees and young people there could be could be potentially my gritty of jobs and opportunities that theyre interested in things that they would like to do a lot of things i would like to do with the one that does indeed we want them to be able to see potential for growth since 2017 nearly 14000 young nigerians returned from libya and the United Nations a volunteer Repatriation Program but only a small number benefit from reintegration schemes like those in edo state my 1st guest today is heading up if its to give return nice Vocational Training weve just seen derry in the reports and she joins me now from it was state welcome to day to every africa so it does state that it also is the 1st and only if im not mistaken states in that area to be facilitating these programs why is it your local governments priority to reintegrate return is. Early yes so the government of the state the girl are really the key that you mentioned again the Human Trafficking and illegal immigration should be combated because we have some of the largest numbers of people by dissipating because of his passion for Youth Development so that it was important and theres a little bit for us to ensure that people are not migrating illegally now its important that we also. Help nice to get reintegrate rarely get back home so that it all gary traffic so we follow that when people go back home some people because of the stigma because they can get in a hole but you need to try to do the all over again and thats how the state governments set up the and the trafficking has forced to combat this right so the idea is to stop people from trying to leave again how is it working are you successful in doing that. Yes so in terms of the programs the Training Programs because ive been implemented by this and this is good as well of my agency we work we have a couple 100000 efficiencies and many of the married to nice what we found that the programs are much more effective for the return knees when he gets a b. In groups with young people in the state so we could call it quits and shy away grants because they would have been at risk of officer if they were looking for he engaged so we had a lot of success is because a little bit was that the business is to go ask you straining so and to get funding to study a business is yes we have those well and friendship programs because theyre still learning skills but this assessment has been high where we could return these with other young people and you know get them into jobs or help them sort of come back when you know yeah ok one more see it we know that thousands of nigerians are still in libya as we speak you have interacted in engage databases with those who have returned just give us a sense of what kind of conditions those who are still in there might be nothing and. Then even really terrible conditions so many of them did report that they are come back home with a lot of trauma because theyve been through torture so who will have been raped so many of them have been raped they have a son with terrible injuries because of what the police at the concentration camps but its impossible for us while we reintegrate the returning to ensure that loyal people are getting caught caught up in the in the problem of getting into such situations of the match ive given legal migration and thats. Really really passionate about expanding our work in the area of job creation ask is development. Thats. There is a barricade are saved thank you thank you. Next story is on twitter where kenyans and nigerians are having a serious go at each other over a little piece on young girls latest role the kenyan actress will play the lead character in a 10 episode screen adaption of the novel Americanah Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is 2013 best seller follows a love story of 2 nigerian teenage is separated in their journeys to pursue an education in the west the girl goes to america and the boy goes to the u. K. And they both have to deal with being black abroad or find out why some nigerians think lupita wont live up to the character but 1st lets listen to him and then go talking to d. W. About how the book america changed her life. I think it freed me. I think because america is a book. Its a book i wanted to write and i didnt want to follow convention and in some ways i had actually seen anything like it which is to say the story of immigrants from africa but who are not escaping war or poverty but simply want who have dreams you know in the way that i think human beings have had for centuries that we sometimes we call them we think we want to see whats there because whats here isnt it not. And i wanted to tell that story because its a story i know thats a kind of irritation that im familiar with and its not to see the other kinds of african stories are not important but simply to see that we can have a wider range of african stories that are told and so i wrote american. Not even sure that anybody would want to read because it can be. Kind of recognizable. For months for an immigrant story so the facts of the controversy on my colleagues give money in their own view and in. Going to unpack that for us its good to see you ladies fresh ill start with you why am i jerry and having a hard time accepting an oscar winning actress to play the lead character if im a Little Indian merrick on a series. Well this is clearly because if women knew even the series. First of all the book was written by a manger and so were trying to you know proudly and they believe that there are so many talented actresses in hollywood that could have been picked to play this role but this is really about many people having this ideology that africa is seen as a country and so. As long as its an african rule it has to be which people are trying to fight against ok so you know coming to you youve read the book you know is what do you think anyone playing this role needs to bring out and why do you think lupita is right for the job. Well i guess because of the obvious reason she is the best person for the job shes an oscar winning actress after all and has a story like that and many other africans reads like you doesnt the book an african who is removed from her continent and has to battle with her identity when she finds herself in an alien place is this what you pretend to be thinking about if you ask lori she might tell you that its that you go x. And she needs to be really worried about ok so talking about that. Thats right many nigerians are worried about whether shell be able to pull it off so i guess youre going to have to stand in for your girl right now and convince nigerians like flourish that lupita will nail the evil acts and give us your best shot at it. Just for the record i am not nigerian im not an actress i dont know how to do accents but moreish me big you lets all go into the pot should go the natives and shes african i personally dont think its a big deal but then again im not nigerian and it might be a different case if it was a kind of rule being cast. Ok if so i would judging that i would give you a straight up you are not getting a role in any dollywood film but im going to leave that to florida to do you be the judge of that how did the the do with that hopeless in my opinion evil acts and. Im not going to im going to try most to be too harsh because. That book you know i worked because it is what he wrote is definitely not get to me and i hope for you peter does a better job than that computer as a great actress and i resell the best right well you know this could have all been sold if people cost as involved. All right so thats flourished right in lagos and it can money in nairobi were all looking forward to that america series film and will be interested to see how the pieces as all told girls thank you.
