Nigeria elections

We hear from our correspondent live in Nigeria ahead of Saturday's presidential poll.

This Saturday is presidential election day in Nigeria, and with more than 93 million registered voters, it鈥檚 Africa鈥檚 biggest election. Our correspondent Alan Kasujja is live in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, ahead of the elections this weekend, where voters will go to the polls to elect their next president. We also hear voice messages from Nigerians who have left the country on why they decided to move on and from our colleague in the Lagos newsroom.

We hear from Daryna, Ilona, Anastasiya - three students who had to flee their home country of Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion - and Sophie, who was already living in London at the time, about their experiences nearly one year on since the war began. They sit down to tell us what they remember of the 24th February 2022, in the Ukrainian restaurant in London called Mriya - which means "hopeful dream" in Ukrainian.

Meanwhile, our Ukraine Correspondent James Waterhouse speaks to us live from Kyiv, as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has paid tribute to all those who have died since the war with Russia began last February. He answers some of the questions listeners have sent in about the war. The 大象传媒'S Sophie Williams joins us to discuss why more than two hundred and thirty athletes and their support staff have lost their lives since the Russian invasion.
