Day after Day Play under has online classes according to a set sure joel hes actually a good student but with homeschooling he finds it hard to keep up. Have missed them look when theyre under so much pressure the whole day my head is full of deadlines for example i need to work on things that are due on wednesday or thursday but i know i wont be able to meet the deadlines because i still have so much to do and other subjects and for as an expense and as sheila and sometimes you just reach your limit says a student were not adults yet were still kids or teens. And we must make decisions do i do this subject now or the other one i dont because it has to be done by 8 pm and then on Thursday Morning you get in trouble with the teacher because instead of sending it at 8 at night you sent it at 7 the next morning. On this matter that really gets you down it really does. So how does the Corona Generation view their future. When students like Felix Culpa wanted to find out and conducted a survey thousands of people took part in the results were clear almost 3 quarters of the children and Adolescents Poll expressed anxiety about their prospects. Confronted numbers surprised me. That there were so many pupils who shared their problems with us. And that the trouble seemed to be so big and widespread overall it surprised me quite a bit. Its absent in english caught. For. Peace he. He a. Little brothers he gets on my nerves sometimes. But not all the time lets little siblings for you know hes my little brother of course it can be annoying. How can you ask. Dave read. As a. Sentence. Could. The siblings a home alone the.

To divest iris was right just with he she and it you need to add an as to the verb endings as this had been the last month its true that often you dont want to do any more on subjects you dont like so much. Done this is just the way it is. So ill take a short break sometimes some last few months my own daughter a lie down in bed and just give my head the rest of my cup for last and then get 11 and then ill go back and look things over again read through the story not a lifetime as a foreign Minister Amateur sometimes miss my mama had help me straight off if she were here half a can when they had here every her but weve gotten used to it. And Theres Nothing that can be done about it now anyway im not im she has to work and philip and i are here and were doing our assignments and trying to manage everything as best we can as i did so shuffle. The numbers in the Student Survey revealed that the pandemic has been especially hard on children and adolescents theyre getting less exercise too much screen time and too little Sleep Homeschooling seems to have had a predominantly negative effect more than 3 courses of the students polled in berlin describe their Learning Environment as poor. Thats especially true for students who have no space to call their own who live in tiny apartments without gardens in families who are stuck together in lockdown 247. Play and those Mother Paolo booked off isnt just a teacher she also acts as a Counselor And Confidant fast student. A stiff a little clearer cases of children who live only with their mother but the mother drinks. Are local or we have a boy who doesnt get along with his father at all and because they now have to work together at home all the time because its the father works from home the boy has Home Schooling Home often there are constant conflict is conflicted on this and as soon as something happens the kids call me because theyre in need of support while i want to start sort since the 1st Lockdown began over a year ago more students are seeking help than ever before domestic violence is on the rise and schools once safe havens are largely shot paolo booked off even gets emergency calls and we cant go steps on base clearly i will file. For instance there was a case of a pupil who had problems not just once it was a whole chain of events got sworn in on the mend and then the end he felt so hopeless that at 5 pm he decided to pack up his things his pajamas and so on and wanted to come here to the school and spend the night in this office all boys to hear in the school a comment on here in this and we have all that because for the kids at my school this office feels like home were all i can so house and. The majority of students have difficulties learning at home and miss in Person Instruction but a minority really like homeschooling. Says shes always been well organized and likes working on her own next year will be her final year of high school its bound to be stressful with the all important school leaving exams but shes not worried about it. She finds she can concentrate so much better at home. And. In school im more likely to get away without doing the work or to drag things out because i know when the lessons over im done on country often but this way i have specific assignments to complete and if they also when i see ok i must submit as in 2 hours then i have to do the work. Compared to a classroom with 32 people at best go home office few Distractions Life now plays out on a computer screen. My it hasnt been so good for my eyes during the 1st Lockdown i became short sighted over. There i get a lot more sleep because i dont have to travel back and forth all get up as early anymore so it has advantages and disadvantages of tyler. Mine in the. Old months mike and sometimes my mom comes home from work really annoyed or stressed and then she has no desire to do schoolwork but otherwise everythings good. Comes home she helps her live and i can do my work and if i ask shell help me to. Occasionally i have a guilty conscience for leaving my children alone for such a long time each day and i know that leaving them to their own devices and doesnt every day its such a huge Balancing Act to reconcile working life with being a mother and a teacher or and not always being able to be there for them. It. Is the commonest i dont dare ask my teachers questions anymore because theyll say we did that 2 months ago you werent paying attention thats the wrong response i should say yes this is such and such and explain it again because its so easy to look out the window but do that once and your last thought on. Man made it shown that i notice he seems much more tired than when he had normal classes in Person Instruction is mocking me and at the least sure im concerned my husband is to have been b. And thats why our family has a set routine a little bit i mean for example he has to take the dog out every day that was the only thing the home that i was. Skip class was over i suppose there are some evenings where i question my very existence but whats the point of getting up again in the morning what should i do tomorrow. There was always a more matter i sit here at the computer for another 79 hours. Should i have another 9 Hour School Day so either more noise to listen once again to how the teachers are trying to stuff me full of facts like theres no tomorrow in it and really they stuff ahead with fact till theyre full then ask you to regurgitate them in an exam in school and a Class Business my dear i dont know who doesnt that ive got stuck. I mean those are kind of those notes and its you dont want to do anything anymore it almost makes you feel a bit depressed yeah depression is a big word but its close its sick youre sad and dont want to do anything your body is telling you you spent too much time at the computer and theyre under too much pressure that expresses that by making you sad and that thats how they. She stood up against human trafficking i will never have no regrets that. The jury in journalist to Bora Bora when an undercover Resistance Morning she made a big impact with her research.

Alive another war for my own good and everyone was laid a hold on every step get it are you ready to meet the germans and join me right just do it under a w. Welcome to the 77 percent the show for africa. If you enjoyed last Weeks Edition you will like this even more my name is Michael Duty. In this Weeks Edition we bring you an exciting reports and a very special guest. We delve into the well off. With guest elder nathan. We meet. An investigative journalist who exposed the Sex Trafficking in nigeria. To meet and to pronounce who gave up a prestigious job in New York to stop their own company in nairobi. We start off in zimbabwe in had a Comedy Group called my gum but t. V. Produces such attention to the Floor Soda Pop as well us other parts of society. Which is meant to inspire the youth is followed by millions online but not everyone finds them funny correspondent how to look behind the scenes. How much money. This set of my comeback t. V. Actor they are shooting its such a skit on the countrys police. It woman reports an incident of corruption but she is a repeat minded 40 porting influential government official. Aim of the video is to motivate young people to participate in political process. Pushing for positive change that would really make fun of you with a with the top office only the top and what if we are not just doing it so that we fight were doing it so that you look at yourself and see we can approve of we do things better for the general public the time for a duty they might come back t. V. Team includes 6 production members and up to 12 comedians the group such it in 2012 and produces over 24 such their productions in money that creeps up all the fictional guzzling Police Station amongst their most popular videos. Weve been told it is the times and can stay we also need that who awfully just not want to sit down and be passive who only has one tool to get to what ever we feel is an injustice but zimbabwe isnt an easy place to be a such a recent Comedy Series often are tracked their oath of state authorities weve had our present office arrested charged with Treason Organization also. Treason charges. Since. I think my premise is they did they say they reach at least 1000000 people in month one social media but despite their success they have to find creative means of navigating threats. From. A very polarized population where its very hard to define on. Such matters on the maasdam back to the same freedom of expression is when challenge. Gaining enough money is another. And the comedians are hoping to make a name for themselves internationally. On the night who actually go in more so to what extent we want to go its all do we all do. This try to all the challenges the f. E. C. In zimbabwe they still have the power in their enthusiasm. Wants to go all the way as sort of us our Guest Today talking to nigerian satirist john but 1st lets find out. Allison john is an award winning satirist noir and novelist he grew up in come to nigeria but now lives in germany. The writing is a satire to lay open and criticize all sorts of power structures and nigerian society. He was only a means to an end. And he might self is not the goal and so. The humor is meant to transport people into a sort of if you like false sense of safety so the by the time the laughter be realized oh gosh im probably implicated in all of this its like being a very bitter pill with. John regularly writes for newspapers and he has written several books one titled becoming nigerian complications to pastors to turn left no one is spared from the Writers Wit not even he himself. Thanks for joining us on the 77 my pleasure you trained as a lawyer why did you leave the Profession Isnt because. Of him. It was my intention to go into a space that was more challenging mentally for me and lord did not hold that prospect any more i was getting bored and i thought that my skills might be put to better use as a writer which i quite enjoy doing youve written several books and one of that my absolute favorites is become in nigeria and in the book you could size social and political power structures and manchuria for example you targets to rich also targets to famous so why didnt your book if i want to be famous in nigeria what are the things that i need to do. Well you must pander to the crowd thats at least one thing and its interesting that you ask that question because. Guides like this a very common means to to to do satire to transmit critique of social vices or of social behavior in so i quite like this medium of of the how to the guide. To doing things so how to box or how to what do i need to do how do i become the famous guy in the whole of of which are. Well you need to start a Paki Theyd be deeper a few. Sandals in the caftan i need to borrow your friends or save ok whats with the perfume and in the mysterious of these importance because you need to you need to be you need to be perceived a mile away. Long before you arrive i get it i get it and in this book you say that you have an abusive relationship with nigeria and we put it on our Facebook Page we asked people what sort of relationship they had with the country and lots of people sent in comments in want to set for instance that this relationship is the no love no relationship at all and opium assess that. Has gone very very sad so many people agree with you but youve left nigeria and youve been away for the last 5 yes some people would argue that you have no right to criticize a country because you left what would you say to people like that well well like i understand the argument its not valid because niger happens you wherever you go you know you leave relatives behind if you get if your father gets kidnapped you certainly involved you have a long chain for example that ties you economically to the country you have. Social ties you also have. Emotional ties the country. Does not leave you because you leave and while the bad is green passport we will always be nigerians wherever we go no one will let us forget that a lot of the things that you have spoken about talk about in nigeria i am from ghana and i can easily relate to them and its also the same across many african countries now lets Watch Escape from zimbabwe on the abuse of power and government. I am the minister of your project. Is a dubious character hello. You might be right but id like to find a country as well to count what you plan to date how the minister. As you know i have embraced social media i have no on it facebook account i am no need to jump in on this should never change. Just so that i can get more in touch with the populace at least thats what im telling the. Media by giving me getting in touch with. Who are all who are they to me why should i get into your lives who cares about them. Out of sight not security i want to know can we turn the internet on or it will end if we cant do that can mideast 10 dont. Because there are a lot of people want very loudly do all social media and we need just to turn a little girl just a bit or even move them gold lately and. Many african creatives use humor in the Elec L. Nathan is there a difference between Comedy And Satta one employs the other but theyre not the same for uses among other Things Wit Humor Irony And Exaggeration while for for for comedy the goal might be laughter for satire the goal certainly is not laughter the goal is a certain level of discomfort that provokes or that pushes people to be introspective for Satire Humor is a means to an end the not an End Self and so its not entertainment and its not meant to just titillate people its meant to provoke people to action is that to suggest that was set out people shouldnt laugh well the kind of laughter that satire hopes to provoke is an uncomfortable laughter a laughter where a soon as it ends there is there is deep thought that follows or at least the Discomfort And Engagement with the issues that arise must follow so whats the End Goal of your subtle for me the subtle right seeks to move people to to think to ask where they are in the very various hierarchies of power and how they use or abuse power now all of that is interesting but in many places across africa space for free expression as shrinking is there a use for political satire in situations like this where Press Freedom is more of a level for everyone its important that people are able to critique their government and not lose their freedom in the process. And where this happens is also the such as job to point this out because you there is no subtle way theres no Press Freedom one is one needs to be able to at least have this or that after critiquing Government One does not end up dead. Its important not just for journalists but for society at large that that these individual freedoms are not taken away that journalists and and people like such are is able to shine a light on what people in power do thank you very much l. Nathan john and remember his book become in nigeria and its out you should definitely read that book respond. Thanks for coming in and thanks for joining us on the 77 percent but ill go on to the next report. On next report its also about a writer nigerian Journalist Border she is an investigative journalist best known for her undercover investigation into Sex Work and nigerias human Trafficking Mafia last year the story of her undercover work was made into the netflix film. And has given her international rule. Of worry has been writing since she was a little girl inspired by her dad she became an investigative journalist. Of worry has made it her lifes work to shed light on the injustices in her society. By a copy of the faith by just to go through this particular life story. How it had mapped out its story and see how it delves into in so doing so redemptive pari what its a go for the flesh it is what comes to my mind. Of worry going further sometimes involves her changing her identity. Of all her Stories None has impacted her life as strongly as a 2013 investigation into nigerias human Trafficking Mafia the traffickers promise women a better future and send them on a dangerous journey with smugglers to europe. Then they become sex slaves and the forced to work until they pay off a debt for the cost of their journey sometimes up to 60000. 00 euros. Started turned best occasion on the street for 7 months she went undercover as a Sex Worker. Right every way looking so being in the. Line for the. Many days of this tree. Very young was. A young dogs it would much. Too boy overbore herself lost close friends who disappeared and died as a result of trafficking she wanted to find out how trafficking works. Unfortunately she also encountered things that she didnt expect. She was raped abused and witnessed to people being beheaded in front of her leaving. I see that its a depression that was the trauma that posttraumatic stress disorder. Thats hucks at some points its great. I didnt know that i was already badly affected. Her Report Lead to criminal investigations but there were no consequences. Young nigerian women are still worth by the traffickers promises of gold my Friend Europe they are often raped on their journey their families are threatened and this happens to spite the public knowledge about it. Today legs his red Light Area seem more busy than ever. I dont really think. So much has changed i didnt really expect its so see. During young girls on the streets. But to live tough saying the very your posts and the jazz on the streets. A Mix Messiah was was to have a lot smarter. In the ovaries most recent investigation looks into how officials and embassies on volved in the trafficking networks its dangerous but she believes its worth the while. Palin not for devoiced list giving voice to them so i have no regrets ive never had any regrets i will never have any regrets that i did the. Story was the inspiration behind the Netflix Movie although today which was released in 2020. While the work has inspired many more investigations into the topic of worry for self says shes not stopping anytime soon. And this year to a boy over he has been chosen for the freedom of Speech Award the award and this generalist who have done outstanding work to promote freedom of expression from all of us here at the w. B. C. Quddus from one strong woman to the next Number Or Symbol is the founder of and that Sports Way they design gear that fits the tarion of africa kenya is famous for the prowess of its long distance runners who have dominated truck events one scores of medals and broken world records but the us for skia is typically not made in kenya or even africa never lie all assemble wants to change that. Mannys not the layout of symbols but anybody close enough us. Cofounder and chief executive officer of the sportswear. And i was created with a mission to bring them benefits over running back to kenya. I was actually born made to be made i was in the Air Force i got my fathers national developments from that im school of economics and the one thing that is really blew me away was just how people who thought about africa you know like in the Case Study to africa if youre talking about dictatorship africa youre talking about Tagore Africa so coming out of that i felt i needed to change Something Lake Dave so much Abuse Weve been watching g. s so much beautiful things happening in africa that too im not sure if i may be selected in development i. D. s and either if i ever did something it would be something thats definitely interesting development and at the same time using sports. I have to make kenya with other potential with all the famous athletes coming from china surely we can do much more than just a few of us being there 50. 00 and 4. 00 of our lads phrases or to be used in racking how can there come she benefits as a whole. And thats when i got the job with the united nations and then i moved to New York i was like so fully also like joy and those of deafness the meaning of life here i am im going to change it was like i mean deceased or poignancy and they were out like youre inside me thats the kind of just get there and you stay there until you retire and it would make a day to retire and all. You have a dream make group us meet them get a golden handcuffs that was a vest much more than i. There was an event in South Africa i think obama went to that event but he just basically said if you want to change africa you have to come to the ground you kind of need from of the them at that point to actually simply cures working to me so i basically left the united nations and decided to hand over everything and to just basically take a chance im full of my dreams. We had just been just up what does but equally there are a litter of people who are laying a guy youre making a mistake you kind of make taking these for granted some of the challenges of moving back and if maybe you thought you went youve seen if you can see if you had to go back you know i mean had to go back and this is when you knew and that wait and see just to reiterate what does make me a lot of concerns in terms of right i mean back then you know the police expect the economy even the dry lead that late there isnt just a matter of that but i dont know see. If we pivot you see between the eye of the beholder where these drugs do on mondays if youre sweating either and i think if you do what you need to. Now lets head to West Africa Ivory coast is well known on the international reggae scene thanks to multi award winning. Ticket. No generations of trying to succeed him like all the kids. But its not easy finding produce this and promoting. The Kingston Gang Star Band has been on the Ivory Coasts reggae seen since 2002 reggae is popular but this galaxy of stars does not include many women i know stu wants to change that. They were women before they may have had a hard time showing themselves they may have had a hard time revealing with within their hot but today women say what they want. Despite their Commitment And Popularity Reggae Musician Struggle to survive off their music for a concert the Kingston Gang star sometimes paid as little as 45 year olds per member. So recording an album is a big dream depending on the artists ambitions for this kind of cost 3000 to 10000 year old. Also keeping Ones Voice is not a given according to reggae man. Music to fly to vegas its more music to see whats wrong to put your finger why it hurts was a sin from that angle when we had a little bit in the sights of all those who have the minutes and put away. The Kingston Gang Starr Band has been working on the album for 4 years now they are entirely self i know it writing the songs gathering the musicians booking the studios. And what i would. I like to see young people wanting to settle into a kind of. You that doesnt exist they mustnt get a drum. Only has been a musical for some fullness. In a music of people who make with what they have. And some people in the reggae scene have made it both nationally and internationally and become icons undoubtedly the reggae star of the Ivory Coast is. He started his career in 1901 and today he has been awarded gold discs and is known for his committed songs even on other continents. But it is a good performance you have to keep hope theres no Reason Someone committed. You can have a hit and the french radio stations will be forced to play it because the hit is good because everyone to sing in it it can happen i really think its not over yet with. Some musicians wish to return to the essential rastafari and face the. Association that was launched to bring the Ivory Coasts rust does together. Fairy Unism Worship God or jar and strives for political Consciousness And Unity amongst africans it is one of the roots of reggae music. To convey my message to tell truth. To the words that. Gives me strength. Its one thing that all reggae artists have in common they hope that reggae can continue to shine.
