BBC World Service - Weekend, Young Nigerians and British colonial rule

Why are young Nigerians favourable to colonial rule? $27M payout for the Floyd family

Why young Nigerians today may have a more positive view of British colonial rule than their grandparents.

Also, the American city of Minneapolis is to pay $27M to the family of George Floyd to settle a civil rights case.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Samira Rafaele, a Dutch Member of the European Parliament for the social-liberal political party, D66; and Helen Scales, a British marine biologist and writer.
