Obama in Africa

President Barack Obama began his first speech in Africa as US president at Cairo university.

The fifty minute address ranged from religion to Middle East politics and from democracy to women's rights. The key message was one of reconciliation between the West and the muslim world.

So this is America reaching out to the Muslim world, but how are Muslims reacting? Nigeria has one of the largest Mulsim populations in Africa - so what's the view from there?

Peter Okwoche spoke to Ustaz Husaini Zakaria, a Nigerian Islamic scholar in Abuja.
