WBR: Nigeria Decides, 27 Mar¹ 15

Fri, 27 Mar 15

As Nigerians get ready to vote, we ask how badly Africa's biggest economy has been affected² by the Boko Haram insurgency³, and whether the next president will be able to restore international investor⁴ confidence. We speak to the boss of a mobile payments company in the capital, Lagos, and also a textile businessman in the northern city of Kano about their election hopes. The US state of Indiana is threatened with a trade boycott⁵ over a new law that many see as a way to allow businesses to discriminate⁶ against gay people. We hear from those trying to promote the state capital for conventions and tourism. In the era of digital downloads, how do modern musicians make their money - we have a special report.
