The 77 Percent - The Magazine for Africa's Youth

July 31, 2024

This week's show explores the experiences of young Africans living on the continent and abroad. First, we delve into the factors compelling Nigerian youth to leave their country. Then, in our street debate, we engage with African expats in Hamburg, Germany to understand the requirements for success in a new country. African comedian Basketmouth shares his insights into the 'japa' debate.
