- The vast majority of Sierran Leoneans - 80 percent in fact - are under 35. But is the government doing enough to empower this young generation? DW's Edith Kimani asks young Sierra Leoneans if they feel powerful enough to make their mark on the global stage.

I THINK I'M BLESSED BECAUSE IF NOT I WOULDN'T HAVE MET SOMEONE WHO IS AS SPECTACULAR AS EXPERT AVA LIO
I THINK SHE IS THE BEST BROKER EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROUD OFF
Yes I'm also a living testimony of expert mrs ava.
Crypto currency and NFTs will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. Already making over 85% money online with her.
Often times we just look for what to invest in and usually encounter this problem it's either the money is too huge for he/she have to invest or it could required more than expected. Cheers!!
@@kevinbrian9332 People are scared of investing because of the high rate of scammers.
@@mavelldenis307 I remember friends calling me crazy when i started trading with ava but right now i shut them down with my four figure weekly returned.
God bless Sierra Leone and entire African, love from Ghana
These are very brilliant set of people, I must say the speeches are well delivered very clear, confident and straight to the point. I want to believe there are many more brilliant minds down there in Sierra Leone. I am a Nigerian and believe with great minds like the people I have listened to in this session, then there is hope for the future of the continent as a whole. Much love from Nigeria!!!

I love the debates hosted in your country The Gambia. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you @DW for hosting me on this platform. I definitely will rephrase some of my answers if I had the opportunity to do it again today, bringing to light burning and urgent issues. However, my convictions remain the same. There’s so much that can be done to accelerate progress among youth in our country. We are yet to match global standards.
You held your own very well young Queen. I appreciated and was uplifted by your passionate conviction and eloquent delivery of it. Hold your head high and continue to persevere. I see you as one of the brightest stars salone can produce. A beautiful diamond taking form. Your potential can be limitless and your success is destined to be. Let me know if I can assist you in anyway. Much love and respect from the diaspora, "USA, North Carolina". Sincerely: Abu Bakarr Jalloh(ABJ), a son of Mama Salone 🇸🇱. God Bless. 🙏🏿
Yap haja I'm personally proud of you, I pray you Excell more
Proud of you I wish the programme was for you alone 🇸🇱🥰😘
Haja I am so in respect and awe of your thought process. Yes we need to compete locally first. The misguided arrogance of always comparing our situation and productivity to UK and Europe or America is like a feather weight wanna be boxer who doesn't even understand the rules of boxing, challenging a heavyweight champion. It's suicidal at best.
We must learn to have a sense of grandeur from within first.
I feel really encouraged by you all. I look forward to engaging you all in my projects. Bless
Haja, she's a smart lady. I believe there is hope for Sierra Leone. Lekan, from Nigeria
This is how you build a better future Africans talking to fellow Africans about solution ! Well done!
Absolutely the way to go.
That's my Educaidian speaking Mohamed, good initiative 👏 keep it up guys much love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕
I love the moderator’s energy
Mind-blowing conversation. Thank you, DW for the platform.
Grt discussions ❤️ from Ghana 🇬🇭
This was lovely to see and hear. A educated bunch of people, Definitely the speeches of al these individuals were delivered good. Proud Sierra Leonean her 🇸🇱🙏🏿
Very important questions, great host. I'm so proud of these youth. Our Africa has a bright future as long as we remain united and have the will to take matters into our own hands, and implement change.
You are right. Africa is the only home we genuinely have.
Watching this as a young South African , it gives me lots of confidence about my continent , we just need to get rid of these old leaders who last had an idea when Abraham was a baby
So proud of you Haja🥰🥰
I can see the frustration of Haja .... government officials need to invest on the young talented people
@@seibril I noticed that myself, she is an advocate others
I really appreciate DW for make a move like this, there is no empowerment for the youth in Sierra Leone i am in france but this is not my goal when i was young my plan is to become a journalist but look at me now how can i achieve my goals when i have been frustrated by our own government please i hope other international channel will make a move like you guys so the world will know more about us because what the other lady said she said it all, free education when the involvement is modern a school fees i wish i have the opportunity to be interview in this channel about my country Sierra Leone, there is no way they can tell people that there is provision for the young’s ones in that country please DW i am in France i will like to have this apportunity to speak about my country please thanks DW
Keep dreaming and pushing in your free time you will achieve your goal just keep going
I'm greatful to be part of this DW, The problem is the government always talked about empowerment we never see anything going forward. African leadership need to learn more from another country like Europe countries
Loving the conversation! We have to start getting into these uncomfortable discussions to drive change! Well done Edith. We are watching and understand that this is an issue affecting many African countries
Great conversation for us all to be part of as Africans, proud Africans at that. Much love from Kenya
I am from Sierra Leone🇸🇱 listening to this gives me hope.
Really impressive speech from this young people keep it up guys 👍👍👍👍
Haja is amazing 🤩
Thank you DW for this program. we need more of these platforms in our country to sensitive people and is so empowering. To all the people who too part you all have done well. Wo are so proud you
Proud of you Haja❤
A very big thank to you all, you guys are really amazing. Hope to have you here in one of the city in sierra leone @KENEMA. GOD bless you all
I'm in EU I want to go back home for good to work but I need a team I'm a construction worker
Very intelligent conversation.
Thank you guys for sharing your opinion and @dw you are doing amazing job
Thank you @DW 77.... It is a great street debate. Very educative and inspiring. Hope to watch more
This platform is some how good, and it relay created impact in we the young african
Thank you Haja Isata Bah, I love your thought and enthusiasm, Ohhh how I hope and pray you succeed and I know you will dear
I love this DW programme. It is practically truer than words can explain.
I agree.
Very educating. More of these please.
Loving this discussion!
What a great conversation!
African is blessed with the 77th percent, and this percent is faced with numerous challenges due to lack of access/the wheel to achieve our dreams.
We are mostly left with accepting the opportunities societies through at us.
Our life is not by design but by chance for the majority of the 77th Percent.
Thanks to DW and those young people with those great ideas who represents the rest of us.
What a good representation.
It so amazing how the deliver their experiences. May The Good lord bless your country sierra Leone
This is a good conversation. DW should be doing more of these.
Thank you! More is to come!
Smart discussion. We need a boost in the e-commerce system in Sierra Leone. It’s growing at a snail’s pace. More need to be done.
Absolutely love this discussion.
Thank you @ DW 77 for the good work and tired less effort you are doing to see the youths lives get positive change by providing such platform. I am for ever greateful for giving me the opportunity to reveal my inner burning issues and the youth out there, and there are more of it still in the country and street as a whole I will never forget such gesture thanks.
Thank you DW
Great to see the determination of these young minds to make the difference. I'm wishing them the very best in achieving their dreams that will surely bring the needed transformation in the country
What a program. I will love to be part one day 💕💕
Sierra Leone has more problems than solutions. Congrats my boy Kawa, Haja that’s awesome
Thank you boss.
We must first learn to build a sense of grandeur from within us. We have all it takes to experience a better standard of life. You young minds have really brought a ray of sunshine to my day. Thank you ❤️😊
Congratulations 👏👏👏 I wish I could be part of this conversation
Love this reporter and show and that they came to my Country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in a difficult time ❤️ Thank you!
The reporter is rude. She keeps cutting them off before they're able to explain their points.
@@tru_710 she needs to manage the time in order to cover the important points
Great programme alway look forward to THE 77%. But nothing like your debates in The Gambia 🇬🇲
Another excellent program.
Quite an interesting program here. Generally, I'm impressed. As a young Sierra Leonean, myself, I'd say there's still hope for things to change for the better in this country if we work as empowered young people to support impoverished or less fortunate youths to come on board. Inclusive development is the only way out. Everyone can be useful in their own way. Discrimination should never be part of our vocabulary as young people in development.
Wonderful! Such promise and innovation from the youth. There is hope!
Very excited and educative
Proud of u Mohamed keep up the good job.
Things and mind set will change
Nice job. I remember commenting on 77 percent in 2020 to visit Sierra Leone.
I like this platform, it's awesome and important to other people who think they are left out.
I don't think we set to compete globally,the reason being our governments are not in support to innovation.
An excellent discussion thanks to an outstanding interviewer!
Congratulations guys very educative
Hope what I heard , seen and learned could be echoed in the valleys, plains and hills of the land that we love. Kudos to the presentation.
Excellent conversation
Wow!! This is really sophisticated message passing round the whole of Africa continent for purpose. Especially for you our leaders, stop ignoring positivity.
Impressive suggestions and determinations.
This programme is educative and essential to a much wider community. I'm highly impressed
Thank u I like this program
This is very interesting and informative,seeing this gives me hope for Sierra Leone .
Look at that fulish government worker talking about free quality education and school feeding programs, where are they? She's just there to protect her job and not saying the truth coz, she knowns very well that if she says anything that's against the government her job is gone. God's bless u Haja and the others.
You can't even write better English then you are calling her foolish
Respect and love.may God bless Africa like how he blessed America.i am originally from Sierra Leone but i left there in April 2000.i only know Sierra Leone in 1990's during the war era
Never ever give up… can see bright future for all Africa… ❤️
I love this program ❤❤
Isatu Bah u are doing great 😘
I love this program. We need more of this in our country... Thank you all for this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was a good idea. I hope their ideas will be taken into consideration by leaders. Open minded and no hidden agenda. Great!
We're proud of you all👏👏👏Esp Eric😊😊😄
Thank you 🤗
Thank you very much for this kinds of Programs not only Politik to Diskussion but good innovative isseus
I have a primary school in Lungi. My students from class 1 to class 3 have a mandatory 1 hour computer software class daily.
Catching them while they are young
Hi DW The 77 percent I love this show, I hope to see you my country Liberia 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Amen this student are so talented I hope Mr Samura will this youth in Sierra Leone 🙏😭🙏🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Well done Haja, well said
I am a data analyst from Sierra Leone, how can I come to Sierra leone and work ? Where we don't have good Internet and electricity .
They say Sierra Leone educational system is called Free and Quality Education. My question is, is Sierra Leone Educational System a quality system?
It's the best speech that the president can boosted of free education but himself don't have the confidence to send his children to Sierra Leone school and college, what a shame to our so called government.
Please how can the Sierra Leone diaspora help? There's so much that can be done the young minds are amazing there are future so we should all invest in them.
Thanks to DW for creating such a platform. Great speakers! The doctor was simply using big words and speaking theory, a bit disappointing. As what she is saying is not reflective in the country. The other speakers are great; the likes of Haja, Josephine, the innovator etc.well done guys. Please continue to work hard and hope for a better Sierra Leone sometime soon.
Great 👍👍
This documentary should be viewed by students in tertiary institutions
Good 👍 job guys ❤❤❤
Am really enjoying and learning from this program.
I want the cust of Mohamed's product
I love this mission
Great discussion from Young youth,bt i hope the president and it's leaders will take consideration of important issues affecting the youth,Am Warioomar from kenya
Haja, you hit the nail on the head
Wake up and start organizing and mobilizing yourselves African youth to physically question and take matters into your own hands, we have to be the change we wanna see.
We in Sierra Leone needs to buy made in Sierra Leone, full support to locally oriented businesses.
Brilliant
Great 👍 @W
It’s a great discussion but I hope the president and its leaders will take considerations of those points mentioned.
Great
Very good.
Africans we are one
Great point. Our continent had no 1st, 2nd or 3rd industrial revolution, yet we are busy talking about the 4th industrial revolution. The entrepreneurship and innovations of Telsa, Microsoft etc. couldn't exist without the prior industrial revolutions. We can't ignore the basics before we reach for the stars. We tend to focus on the top 20% of the population and neglect the 80% majority. Focusing on a few major cities and ignoring 90% of our countries. Access to education and basic infrastructure/services for all will take tour countries a very long way, and open up loads more opportunities for innovation even in rural areas.
I hope they become very successful, especially the 4 that are standing in the middle. They seem to be very studious, hard-working and knowledgeable.
My country man’s 🥰It’ll be well sooner 🙏🏾
My best wishes to the people of Sierra Leone
Welldone
