 After more than a year on air on Sheger FM 102.1, the long awaited exciting youth show has finally made it to the web.
DAGU takes its name from the highly acclaimed Afari information exchange system- where whenever two or more Afari people coming from different places meet; they would share information with each other about everything that is new to their respective villages. DAGU, translated as “what is new?”, is a very efficient way to convey information.
Likewise, DAGU Addis opens the floor for young people to share their new experiences, adventures and information with their peers. As our tagline goes “there’s nothing that won’t be talked about” on DAGU. So what do you want to talk about?... Life styles?, relationships?, communication?, HIV/AIDS/RH?, gender? DAGU has got it all!! With its captivating stories, engaging discussions and current info, DAGU provides you with the full package to help you stay safe and healthy. Not only that, our liberal and witty approach will make you feel as if you are talking to your best friend.
So we invite you to listen to DAGU Addis episodes at your own convenience. Once again welcome and enjoy your stay with us!

A lot of adolescents know very little about sex and the negative consequences it may have if one is not prepared for it. So many get into it because of peer pressure and others out of curiosity, very little, however, make a conscious effort to be prepared before becoming sexually active. Although many have heard about HIV/AIDS, not many consider to make the appropriate preparations in order to avoid undesirable outcomes. There are certain things adolescents and young adults should consider before starting to have physical intimacies and sex.

Genet's Award Winning Story on Dagu |
|
"It was during the summer break that I met this taxi driver. I really liked him and shortly afterwards we started dating. One day we went out for lunch, had a couple of drinks and he asked me to spend some time at a private place, a hotel bedroom. I was too drunk to think and decide…It’s only when I woke up from my drunken state after a couple of hours that I realized I had sex and lost my virginity. Couple of weeks later I went for HIV and pregnancy testing. I was HIV negative but pregnant."
Genet Nigussie

Genet had to quit school, leave town and give birth to her baby at a relative’s place in a rural area.
Miscommunication with parents and peers, pregnancy, HIV, quitting school, break up, love, infatuation… these are stories often discussed around youth. Most of us have either experienced them or at least we know someone, like Genet, who has gone through one of these circumstances. But how many of us discuss these issues out in the open? How many of us have adequate information about the things we encounter in our day-to-day life? What is really taboo?
After more than a year on air on Sheger FM102.1 and school mini media around Addis, DAGU has now joined to the web community around the globe. DAGU offers us the opportunity to break the ice and discuss about various issues like communication, sex, relationships, life style, HIV/RH and other stuff. You can find all of the episodes broadcast so far and listen at your own convenience. You can also find other exciting stuff like blogs and links to related websites.
