i know there were no. w. a low and a while welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent show but expose what might as well because young majority i mean host one thanks for joining me today. in today's program we've been looking at the population board in nigeria and salaries for ticket if you money take those 3 debates to conduct. you more than banks will be jumping on a so-called mike. and last but won't leave will be heading to

total to make that call tell giants who i think so who show us all the wonders of the capital if you know me. as you can tell the lot on your agenda once again report takes us to west africa where the ba'ath weight is one of the highest in the world this growing young population could drive the local economy i guess that's what many people think but how many children can cause a financial bottom for foggy and serious health problems for women having several pregnancies in a row but family planning and contraceptive methods a steered toward subject in many of the conservative with the majority countries of the region however in senegal seems like slowly be changing a growing number of young couples want to take control over how many children they will have and when every day. door to door just in families and head the

car neighborhood she said. the district godmother or until she wants to see change in her community. in the privacy of their homes she talks to women about sex and contraception in the of the. people so not every woman is able to go to the clinic and choose a contraceptive method. she needs her husband to agree and sometimes also how much i know some women come to the clinic and say my husband wants me to take this specific method even if it's not safe so we go and speak to the has meant to raise his awareness of our role is to media. as you will have an immediate aesthetic grassroot level makes a big difference says sophie. a midwife at him by the view health center

10 years ago the government launched this outreach program to make family planning a priority they hope to decrease my terminal and unit told that. according to the world bank the fatality rates dropped below for. children per woman in 2016 it was the 1st time is illegals history the better it is now $4.00 lower than other countries in the region such as new j. old nigeria and the queue outside sophie's practice is always growing them in the us. in 2009 when i started working here we had around 400 women a month we wanted contraceptives. now we have up to $2500.00 women a month so the growth has been exponential. and massimo. really well. i think it's because of all the awareness campaigns the media the funding's also women now realize the benefits of spacing out pregnancies for their

babies their husbands and for themselves. this mother of 3 comes here regularly to get the pale she doesn't want any more children she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. with family planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting pregnant. and silly go our own mental 5 percent of the population is muslim. society here is conservative awful as part of a growing young generation of religious leaders who promote family planning for house train more than 2500 moms across the country he insists that a koran advocates breast feeding and spacing out pregnancies. but when

you read her deals of the words of the professor you can clearly see that he was against good pregnancy because he said they had terrible consequences for the newborns and for the mother told me. more and more my couples are now using contraception but because sex outside marriage just consider toppled single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reproductive health. and. because of the priority is to educate the youth. you have to make them understand what is at stake when there is an unwanted pregnancy. what is at stake when they have an uncontrolled sexuality the reason why. in a country like some ago it must be a priority to. progress has been made but there's still a long way to go. more women in. positions

can say many. women across africa don't always have the freedom to make decisions all over their own bodies often because of social pressure and tradition but family planning will play an increasing role in years to come because according to the world bunk africa's population is likely to double by 2050 meanwhile the resources are becoming. far street debate our reporter aided him on t.v. said nigeria which is projected to become the most populous country in the world. africa's population is growing fast predictions say that by the year 2100 bill before point 5000000000 africans that's about

a 3rd of the entire global population so we're here in kano the most populous state in the most populous country in africa to find out how exactly that future we look for africa is my and i want to begin with you should we trust these numbers are they accurate and where do they even come from for me the numbers are accurate because when you look at the investment the agencies like unicef are putting into into interest such and that i think you have no other reason than to accept this that is what. it is you know it's something i have not got about because we all know most of them manipulate this number when it's going to be you know so the numbers might not be extremely precise but we know that africans are going to increase and i want to come to sign up because you're an advocate for children and adolescents and specifically against child marriage and i want to find out from you why do you think africans are increasing in population where the rest of the world the trend seems like they're decreasing where because there are some months not some regulations with the guts of population growth like population is booming and

is increasing day by day and we're not doing anything about it in main judea precisely do not and the increase of child marriage and a lot of child brides and given by that very young age and the booming of the population so this is causing a lot of problems from lack of access to health kiya. embury mental has a so mr director general we're hearing that resources are stretched thin are you feeling it when you're governing indeed it is very it's true that the facilities overstretched at the moment we have 3000000 children in public primary schools which means. a little forms needed to my needs the education of these children and the government of the movement this new type of these foods so if the government doesn't have money to take care of the people that it has right now how is nigeria going to take care of itself in the future sign up i want to come back

to you because i really want to get to the heart of this why then are we not we having 5.7 children that's the average age of number of births per woman in nigeria compared to one point something in europe why are we still having so many children if it's not working if we can't afford it yes because i think access to parmalee line and i think you are a productive health rights and we are growing please without any make i said in the post place and also undoubtedly some really just one question i pod does that is at picton that because of the busiest time of my rage and the prime least him of the not that's so imma so ways the balance between religion culture and really just being rational family friend in islam is allowed when there are problems but it is not allowed when it is intentionally. to check the will the

idea of let me how 2 people or 3 people like how other people are doing in their culture is prohibited i want to understand to what degree do women have the agency not necessary for family planning but even to space their children actually i do think to have a lot of see because i just had a baby 5 months ago so i was like my husband and i decided to space you know to birth like let's go and check out the child space and you need to be so like 5 to 6 women i think 3 of them came on their own but the hospital said be have to bring the husband or a written letter from you signed that he has agreed you know for them to do this piecing back i met. we've been at the child spacing unit she's 39 and she's just tired she has 8 children so she doesn't want to you know do it anymore but the husband is and is insistent that she has to do it again what is going to happen to this set of women because a lot of them out there they are tired they are sick but the husbands which are not

even able to take care of them still want them to keep giving birth why why is a. line and when you talk about these issues the most vulnerable ones i guess because of the issue of gender equality it's like when they're talking about education because it goes i educated all decisions when you go down they are not even making any approach to have a bill and even to sign a bill up 10 right and so that it's what i just said at least let this yes please the school education ok let me come to the director general because he spoke directly to him that the idea of free education is really incompatible with what's happening right now because you're not even addressing things like child marriage indeed we are addressing things like child marriage and we have this arrangement where we give monies to parents of goes to allow them to continue their education or to secondary school level let me find out what is that what it will

a consequence is if a parent is found to have given their child out for marriage when they're too young of course they're very extant laws whereby if you refused to take your girl child to education. process would be followed anything. about a legal process. i'm not a lawyer. and i thought it would be like a well known law but in a moment like to come back to you. allow me to ask what would happen if the government of nigeria today the federal government said that the problem of population growth is too big in nigeria and we now have to cap the number of children to one per woman well is is just an assumption the question is based on assumption yes of course but i'm asking you is this something that you think could work in nigeria in cannes or even in africa it will work somewhere and it will not work somewhere. that. people that is in line with their culture and

believe will accept and those that see it as negative would reject it. we were able to do one thing that is empower and create awareness and 1000 began to change them education because the side people that i give in but so if you want a light in them and give them a when is that if you need this is the point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so it's never led to the type of the the number of children that you are going to be given back to you can talk to the husband look i'm not able to get my to because of i'm not ready to go but because of my health condition because you can enlighten them even to people in new areas and ones and that is my take so information for you is what would they mom is refusing but i'm not going to stay there because i don't want to start a war i wonder what do you think it's been a very exciting debate here in cannes oh i'm edith kimani thank you for watching.

what i make fighting. thanks and thanks to all but. now if you would like to watch the full version of this straight debate please have a local no i you tube channel we can't wait to read all your comments. the rapidly growing population is also a challenge in mozambique where since 2005 the number of residents has increased by over 30 percent and more people means more and more cars and trucks on the road will be it is a daily struggle for many was unbecoming as we found out on the streets of my poodle but innovation is on its way. each morning before sunrise thousands of commuters cram into overcrowded mini buses in the outskirts of. the often have to wait for hours to get a free seat on one of these open trucks. known locally as my loves because the passengers on the crowded transporters have to hang on to each other in order not

to fall. in more and they are but as a teacher who has to take this week each day it's getting to work takes her 2 hours she has had enough of that you know. again this is not a witch transportation system but you don't have any other option available but today at least i'm lucky because i'm sitting in the front seat well spent most of the days and in the back this is not safe for talk or put our lives in danger every day but that was an argument not only as public transport my point was slow but it's also unsafe the number of motor vehicles registered in mozambique has grown by more than 50 percent in the past 5 years has also resulted in increased bloodshed on the roads several 100 people are killed in crappy accidents each here is my loved driver. has experienced many accidents. over the one where

i want to tell you the story that keeps running through my mind you know the roads here are not ok once one of the drivers had to hit the brakes abruptly and all the people fell on the street all of them all of them from the shipyard. in order to make the streets safe has tried to ban the use of open trucks in the past but the day they stopped operating tens of thousands of people failed to get to work bringing the city to a standstill authorities were forced to withdraw the decision. but safe alternatives are on their way software developer is your body talk has been well. immobility designed to get you to work on time and without stress. on its name where i work and interview so. this direction. is a service that is going to help was on beacons where to transport most people are

suffering every morning waiting for tuxes scrambling for my loves you never met you but we are going to solve this problem i am not my. own. connects motorists have empty seats never be a cold with passing just wanted to catch a lift into town for back. payment is done by a mobile money platforms such as antecedence one kilometer of the journey costs about $3.00 euro cents. this is not too expensive the public transport system costs around 20 louis and flat but it means that i have to go through so much trouble in the morning i have to fight for my place in the taxi so for me it's much better to pay a bit more for better and more reliable service this is much more efficient than the taxi speak of. the founders of want to revolutionize the private transport

sector and provide a more dignified mode of transportation however the service is still in its infancy so far the only 4 drivers taking part in the service and about 50 paying passengers . there's no money for publicity work. won't like all startups we are still a small enterprise we need to be patient for now and direct all our efforts into the right direction. is to keep growing we expect to be able to transport about 1000 people pay a day in diffuse. now we change to a different will in kenya actually well known for its well let thinks but not necessarily it's. not yet. with k 2 boarding taking off in east africa in the lead up to its debut in the next olympics. next the

children of nairobi were dreaming of becoming the world's the best. when they grow up. and say again skating helps me to be strong when i am on my schedule but i feel free when i'm moving on the board especially when i'm dropping into the ball and i come out i feel so good. 16 year old little. whenever she gets the chance. to. do ok out of children's home in my role being. shelter. for $100.00 children but a skate park is the best part at least the children think so. i like getting the cars out. the park opening 2014 it's not just the

stuff against fast speeds but also it's not just the feeling up in self-confidence the being able to express themselves they've been able to fulfill lives of people from outside their will to open up and appreciate them he says when she watches the children skate and she sees just troubled past form of neglect and abandonment fade away she sees a brighter future for kenya. is often the point i dream of going to the olympics one day and introducing other women. showing them they shouldn't be afraid of scared because nothing is impossible because you just have to have to move around and be fearless and have enough confidence confident to not let them hopes to make a living but skateboard. one thing and. she wants to build a home for underprivileged children. and i'm sure in the

dream house well thought only be a skatepark. now from east africa to west africa we're traveling to total it's time for our not my city today a guy did go on to ask how to see and to share his passion about the togas capital with us. i'm glad she's so sculptor of giants i'll introduce you to my beautiful city one of my sources of inspiration i hope you like it. a diesel was born in togo's capital romance which is home to more than 1700000 people. voted on the border with ghana the coastal city of course not only miles and miles of beaches but it's also home to the leading container port in west africa but the city does not profit much from the east as it is mainly used for transfer shipments the majority of the population

evolved from one tree. in a man is clean and these sense of trance is also noticeable in a studio located in the neighborhood of creek i mean. this is why it communicates with the would i like to bring new life to the dead mice cultures can be up to 4 metres tall i use my otway it's to talk about a feeling in my heart my goal is to give something new to the world. the 20 year old artist never picks up from living trees one serving nature is very important to him they and also incorporates recycled materials into what's to make people aware of the importance of protecting the environment like many cities in were. africa has a problem with its width management this room i always feel shocked when i see

people to rubbish on the street that is why i gathered the waste to include it in my work i even pay people to go to the rubbish dump and collect trash for me here so. i decide on some looks for inspiration beyond environmental issues he also gathers ideas from the local athletics and historical trajan's such as rome is old pierre which was built by the german colonial regime in the early 20th century what am i really so here i think the old port is like a giant sculpture it's like a museum where parents can tell their children about the colonial history of total new york. was a german colony and while one at which point it was taken over by britain and france in the commercial heart of la may this colonial heritage blends with more than attitudes like the peace monument located in 21 the sculpture takes its

inspiration from picasso is peace down. this statue inspires me a lot it's a great monument to the represents d.c. in the world there is also this moral project initiated by 2 goalies artist jimmy hope. you may need to build these artists have worked on this mural. 8 of your i.q. whenever i come here i feel like i am immersed in a world full of art on ramp really. often comes to the beach to share his act with everybody but in these occasions they usually made out of sand on sundays the beach of london becomes the city's main government please come here to eat and drink what and dance with your friends and to lie. runs a great reach into the week and the perfect sport to see goodbye to tell me it was
