麻豆约拍

We鈥檙e off to space for this one, following the European Space Agency鈥檚 recent announcement of a new bunch of astronauts. Nearly 23,000 people applied but not one of the people who were chosen was a person of colour. De-Graft looks into why this was the case and hears from Dr Sheila Kanani, who applied for the job.

We鈥檙e also back on Earth for two stories about Nigeria. The first is about the government鈥檚 decision to teach young kids in native languages instead of English. But with more than 600 languages in Nigeria, how will this work? Ishaq Khalid, a 麻豆约拍 journalist in Abuja, joins De-Graft to explain.

And, a museum in the UK has signed over a collection of objects - that were looted from the historical Kingdom of Benin - back to Nigeria. Our very own, Paige Neal-Holder - was at the transfer event. She reveals what happened and the history behind it.
