danger for the people of. this little land of mines. in the fight. for. the for the future. for the major cities. in sight. enter. hello to you wherever you're watching from a welcome to the 77 percent that show for africa's you i added micah jr it's great to have you on board. so what's coming up on the show. we delve into the shady wealth of online fraud in god i want to respond because. of a crime. and how do you feel about this new poll in the uk as we travel to kenya to

discuss the sensitive topic. on the nigeria we meet a painter who uses an ancient right in the system to create a mess for rising up. now have you ever wondered where all those e-mails came in that you've won a $1000000.00 actually come from well that's happening a lot in gaza one of west africa's hotspots was cyber crime an internet fraud young people tried to make a living by scamming people online we met some of the for us this. here as night falls on the streets of a crowd the work day is just beginning for internet's comus like coffee that's not his real name he doesn't want to be identified which is understandable as a notorious credit card for stan who would face several years in prison meant if he got caught up large right now he tells us

a bit about his occupation even how he cooperates with russians. russian. troops. coffee pot hundreds of cards chat rooms or websites for about 5 years dollars each. but it's a gamble because he never knows how much credit is left on the cards. it's really a sample this. is one of the duty. as soon as coffee has a card he uses it to shop online but join the money from an a.t.m.

is too risky instead he gets collaborators in the u.s. and europe to buy laptops and send them to canada where in. this method it's called customer service everyone gets a share of the profits. up to $1000.00 euros a month doing this but in north it's time to stop. it's. so there are those of all of these on my list the digital within. slang for cyber crime is an increasingly common practice not just in ghana but also in nigeria and many other west african countries. youth activist abdul razak as well aware of the problems facing young people. in his neighborhood many teenagers and young adults involved in cyber crime out of necessity know

this are not hard core criminals decide just. young vulnerable and disadvantaged men who will need to who want idlis have a need to succeed in life not necessarily succeeding in building houses buying cars but to mix and meet. one of the most popular scams is called reminds young men pretend to be women on 18 sites to trick lonely hearts into sending them money and gifts most of the victims are white men from europe and america a good romance comma can make up to $400.00 euros a month. romance come a weapon who also wants to remain anonymous explains why many gun ians have no sympathy for these naive men. a day youth here think of their wife a man has taken

a lot of things our way from the game they are using this means. to. attack their rights and mine for leaving the ass for 5 days so oh and this thing is because of their white lie i fitted them for that's why they are also doing. these attitudes give the scum s. peace of mind about your crimes the outlook poof. images of attractive women and ask the assistants or girlfriends to record voice messages this worked well for a few years. but there would be victims are now more tech savvy and quickly wise up to possible scams like where who's last a victim sean. i trusted that you were solid you broke all that night far as i'm concerned you lied

to me i guess you really were just that black guy on there just trying to take me for everything you can get in for. but it's gotten harder for prosecutors as well in 2014 began a police service launched the cyber crime unit and trained about $1000.00 cyber crime investigators to try and combat discomfits but up to russia believes the police aren't tackling the root causes of the problem all i call on our leadership is that this is channel most of the airport in building the capacity of the youth get in there very concrete you fully see i think what we have that all this issues of crime using gaijin crimes and i'm the. social misfits i think you tube year 10 of the past for now identity fraud and cyber crime remain big business in

qana and while authorities keep trying to catch the frost this tricks. every day. now the frost this called sucker our boys psycho is a house at 10 which means to take back something that was taken from you and as you just head once a car boy justified his scam games westernesse by claiming that they have exploited africa for too long but hey there is no justification for committing a crime now how much is the west and china really exploiting africa at the moment some argue that a new wave of colonialism is sweeping the continent the phenomenon called new colonialism describes the indirect influence of foreign this. critics see foreign direct investment and aid from the west and china robs africa of its economic independence under the guise of development international corporations being allowed to lease big trucks of land or palm oil monocultures. to the detriment of

local farmers in senegal local fishermen been left with very little fish as international trawlers exploit the sea and chinese construction companies play in an ever increasing rule in many african countries the chinese build really line in kenya for example has left behind the mountain of debt. but how bad is it. chinese really to blame for all of these problems or should we instead be holding our own leaders to account our very own either command met with the young rest of the ins in the kenyan capital nairobi to find out what did think and boy oh boy was that a heated discussion. the 77 percent is in nairobi the capital of kenya and it is in this city that nearly 57

years ago the kenyan flag went up we were declared independent but how independent is kenya any indeed the rest of africa is the question that we're asking today on our subject neocolonialism why is it still a thing in africa and who is to blame but before we go too far let's come to who is a political analyst and a writer here in kenya how would you describe new colonialism what does it mean to you. i think that coming from a gave us the best to finish and for neocolonialism which is late stage imperialism what you have is in direct influence of political decision making of your nominee decision making ok so let me come to the farmer right here mr michael could be because your farm as you mentioned is over 100 years old suddenly older than the nation of kenya do you feel like you're beholden to the person who began this farm absolutely not you did and i believe we need to call mines on our hearts as the 6 years after independence we really shouldn't be complaining too much about. let me

come back to i want to challenge you basically based on what michael has said that it's been about 5 to 6 years we should be talking about new york on an assertion right now look at me and fairview farm we're doing it on our own we're talking about colonisation we're talking about imperialism we're not talking about individual experiences we're talking about a systemic issue yes you're able to grow your coffee and run your coffee tours but is the price for example that you're that you're selling your coffee at reflective of the labor that has gone into producing that coffee or is it reflective of political priorities that have been set elsewhere exploitation of power disparities for the profits of certain regions or certain parts of the world is the very definition of neocolonialism ok i'd like to come to because i just want to you know piggyback on what nigel a saying that it is a system and it is exploitative but where are the politicians the people who should be of those international tables making better deals for us saying this doesn't work for us anymore can a struggles with the concept of political leadership that is dysfunctional that is

exploitive that it's violent that's discriminator there's also this culture that stems from a neo colonial space of leadership that excludes people from their leaders which is putting the people into this vicious cycle of constantly saying we need better we need better but nothing ever changes because the bubble of and the shield of neocolonialism is so thick. so we're saying that oh my goodness that the neo colonialism once again is seeping into basically every single factor of our lives politically economically even how we think he has socially and i'm just wondering from tony in what ways does new colonialism still have an impact in the way we are governed and mention the french very briefly the french have never mentally left africa ever you can see what goes on in the congolese the highest glory of african evolution is to become a frenchman or a mademoiselle the french have never lost that mentality but one might argue that

kenyans have not lost that mentality we are after all having this conversation in english no but can is a very different country we may be confused but on to addressed immediately our political leadership all neocolonialism relies on somebody having the lead in their pocket in that case is your gripe then with your own government or with the colonial government that created structures in which we are governed as we are that is very lazy we only strain to blame the british in 2020 year old a strange all the time you keep complaining about white people by which you mean european people and the truth is these great men 20202020 february 20. then your column is that all right i'd like to get some more views on the site the problem with the philosophical foundations of this country like if we're talking about export we didn't center kenyans or the people who live in this land we're in

so what we're experiencing now is a result of what happened so the west is still to blame but we reproduce what we did but is it fair let me ask schaffer here is it fair to sort of lump the whole western world into you know their white savior as they're trying to come and save us we don't need their help is there room for collaboration or is it just going to be this bipolar dialogue that well i think i think room for collaboration that existed or that has assumed that have been assumed to exist has existed in their white terms so even as we collaborate we are collaborating within their own structures within their own arguments within their own indeed meant within their own requirements vary white people have always wanted to enforce and to carry forward their whiteness and their supremest we should be able to enforce and carry forward our blackness our black supremacy but it's never going to happen because we don't have the leadership that is capable to reimagine our own governance and their engagement out of the frame that is mostly a colonial council of what is necessary to lose out this way to sentiment this is

again we are playing here and sometimes i get tired of it or this is all i want to equate to grants that i want something specific to us your government never have won a lot of these scholarships and so on they'll lose weight but you tell your own story in your own way i feel like what's this weighty sentiment i never besides being colonized by the british of all the colonizers schools history and you know we have this please please please contextualize that i will never be side because that's the way real politics of the wheel of history has been colonized by the belgians didn't give a damn but i'm not going to go and keep painting about. yes yes yes yes and i'd like to give i'd like to give let me come to schaefer because she's so exhausted her hands are on her head i'm about to give up because the thing is this rate so the context is when we when i hear people talk about they don't have a problem with having the colonized i question how deep are you in this neocolonial

struggle that you've actually embraced your abuser and made them feel made her feel that she was right for doing what they did to you tony is saying that the facts can't be changed that the world order at the time was as it was the world order was white people stealing from black africans that was the word order i think sometimes when we speak very carelessly and very casually about very fundamental things that have was in the mess that we are and i really don't appreciate it ok tony do you agree with the charge that he was so deeply neo colonized yourself that you don't see why your utterances could have been that is absolute bollocks. language isn't people. that is. because we educated in this week yeah it's like those people who fail in life and keep talking about how their father was an alcoholic or their mother never loved him enough and be like that you must lose their victim mentality about the patient which we have in this country we started

with a very critical question neocolonialism why is it still in africa well the answer is in our history and who's to blame for it apparently we all are thank you for watching. very intense debates thank you to everyone who joined us in about the big smile some of you also shared your thoughts with us on facebook now let's go to barry joshua from nigeria you write i think we should 1st blame our presidents and politicians when they make promises and then fail to fulfill those promises ok now from care. and says if powerful countries focus more engineering trade to use fair competition and love we will all enjoy their resources abundantly ok now this world could definitely do with a lot more love many thanks for your comments and if you want to watch the longer

version of that debate nice check out you tube channel. now let's go way back to a time before the festival p.n. foot into africa. have you ever heard of incivility well it's a system of symbols used in southeastern nigeria long before the latin alphabet sadly instability has gone almost extinct but a young artist is we've by having these insane symbols given a new twist in his paintings. ever very controversial figure in nigeria's history major general chukwuemeka or the men that led the biafran war 50 years ago these portrayed is a reminder of the painful past that many people may not want to remember. but will be known as the artist behind the painting has chosen to tell the story in a unique way. by making use of an ancient writing system he did in the piece

a subtle messages of hope peace and unity if you look at the face you see signs he's seen both have been able to tweet east and get flu you know to create this there from official when you look at it you know this is. this signs and symbols are intention form of communication that was used by south eastern asia long before the colonization of africa they're called c.b.d. obinna says then c.b.d. is evidence for the fact that africans have been writing before the arrival of the rupee and he is part of a movement that is aimed at preserving the ancient african symbols. it's a movement that gained more attention after and c.p.g. writings were featured in the $28000.00 movie panther. and c.b.d. is one of the official written languages in the fictional country who are kind.

african art experts say the movie pays homage to the almost extinct language the train on the bottom to be ignorant of history is to be ignorant of life because it is who we are it is our culture it is a great heritage we need to protect it's with our lives we need to prove to preserve it with everything we have got. be not say always incorporated c.b.d. writing into his twix the symbols are stuck with him since he discovered them a number of years ago. i got screenshots from the internet you know and i so the thing embraced me too because i came to understand a way of being able to you know get through and give you video i know giving up with patients i make things get related and connect with themself in a particular piece so if i go into c.b.d.

and city goes into me to. be nice personal mission is to educate more people about the c.b.d. writing system and to inspire the world to embrace. now that it's beautiful and we should not forget our culture and history talking about history 25 years ago rwanda and its capital kigali was brought to its knees by the genocide a sense than gallery has rapidly developed into a truly modern city today the city is vibrant and boasts a dynamic startup seeing. young entrepreneurs found in the i.t. and fashion companies often with great success like. well founded shoe company they took us on the floor through the whole city and joy. i we all is old and given and where how does it take you on the top of. this video
