fine. thank you 16. w. literature invites us to see people in particular. to see himself as the. stranger. might object to what. we've got on you to. a low end a while welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent show but expo was what might as well because young majority i mean a host wala thanks for joining me today. in today's program we've been looking at the population in nigeria and salaries for technique. and last but what you will be having to pull to make that call tell

giants what i think so which was all the wonders of the capital that you know me. as you can tell they were a lot on your agenda once again report takes us to west africa where the baath 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 5 years and farias health problems for women having several pregnancies in a row but family planning and contraceptive methods a state of war subject in many of the conservative with the majority countries of the region however in fact that goal 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 in going south goes door to door visiting family some

had the kind neighbor who she said but 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 the of the. 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 mother in law 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. have in media to such a grassroots level makes a big difference sophie put young to rate a midwife at him by the view health center 10 years ago the government launched

this outreach program to make family planning a party they hoped to decrease my turmoil and newly told that. according to the world bank the fertility rates dropped below for. children per woman in 2016 it was the 1st time in senegal is 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. 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 i do mean does 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. do care for.

this mother of 3 comes here regularly to get the pail she doesn't want any more children as she wants to make sure her kids get the best education possible. family planning i have peace of mind now i can do whatever i want without thinking of getting pregnant with her face. in synagogue our own mentor 5 percent of the population is muslim. society here is conservative most of all 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 the koran advocates breast feeding and space in our pregnancies. but when you read the deals of the words of the prophet you can clearly see that he was against both pregnancy

said they had terrible consequences for their newborns and for the mother. more and more mired couples are now using contraception but because sex outside marriage just consider top all single young people are often excluded from awareness campaigns on sexual and reproductive health. and. because of the priority is to educate the youth compounds. we 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. isn't lying. in a country like senegal must be a priority to. progress has been made but are still a long way to go health when. women. control decisions

can say many. women across africa don't always have the freedom to make decisions 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 wild bunk africa's population is likely to double by 2050 meanwhile resources are becoming. phosphate debate our reporter aided him mani visited 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 congo the most populous

state in the most populous country in africa to find out how exactly that future we look for africa is my 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 like you are putting into research and i think you have. to. it's something i have thought about because. the numbers might not be extremely precise but we know that africans are going to increase and i want to come to zeina 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 africa. are increasing in population where the rest of the world the trend seems like that decreasing when because there are some months not some regulations would be gazza population growth like population is booming and is increasing day

by day and we are not doing anything about it in precisely do not and be increased . grades given by that very young age and the booming of the population this is causing a lot of problem from access to health kiya. a so mr director general we're hearing that resources a stretched thin are you feeling it when you are governing indeed it is very it's true that facilities stretched at the moment we have 3000000 children in public primary schools which means a little forms are needed to my needs the education of these children under the government at the moment the snow a ton of these funds 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 zine i want to come back to you because i really want to get to the heart of

this why then are we not are we having $5.00 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 because we didn't access the parmalee plan and i think there are a productive health rights and we are growing presently without any relations like i said in the post place and also dieties some really just unconscionable proctors that is our picks in that also because of the deceased my rage and the prime least him on the not that's so. so weighs the balance between religion culture and really just being rational family for lenin islam is at. when there are problems but it is not allowed when it is intentionally mad to check the wheel the idea of let me help 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 they have a lot of say because i just had a baby 5 months ago so i was like my husband and i decided to space you know to birth and i like let's go and check out the child spacing unit. 5 to 6 women i think 3 of them came on their own but the hospital said they have to bring the husband or a written letter from him signed that he has agreed you know for them to do the spacing like i met a woman 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 are out there they are tired they are sick but the husbands which are

not even able to take care of them still wants them to keep giving birth why why is . when you talk about these issues never been one else because of the issue of gender i quite see it like it when they are talking about education because it goes i educated all these issues will go down they are not even making any approach to have a bill and decide it be right and so that it will address at least let these. educational ok let me come to the director general because you 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 murders 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 will a consequences if

a parent is found to have given their child out for marriage when they're too young of course they have their extant laws rabbi if you refused to take your girl child to education. process would be followed anything. about legal process. i'm not a lawyer so i really believe that if i thought it would be a 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 to begin nigeria and we now have to cap the number of children to one poem on what 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 it will not work somewhere. that. is in line with their culture and believe will are soft

and see it as negative will reject it won't we were able to do one thing that is empower and create awareness and late in the game give them education because these eyed people that are given but so if you give them a line is that if you need this is the point is that will happen if there is a population crisis in the country so. the type of the number of children that you are going to be given better you can talk to the husband look i'm not able to get married because of i'm not ready to go but because of my health condition because you can enlighten them even to people in the areas and once in the city that is my take so information for you is what would they mum 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 debate in d.c.

thanks and thanks to all the panelists now if you would like to watch the full version of this straight debate please have a local noir youtube 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 30 percent and more people means more and more cars trucks on the route will be it is a daily struggle for many with them because as we found out on the streets of my but innovation is on its way. each morning before sunrise thousands of commuters crammed into overcrowded mini buses on 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 or around they are but as

a teacher you have to take this route each day getting to work takes her 2 hours she has had enough of it. 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 it taught me put our lives in danger every day and that has not and which not only is public transport. it is also unsafe the number of motor vehicles registered in mozambique has grown by more than 50 percent in the past 5 years this has also resulted in increased bloodshed on the roads several 100 people are killed in traffic accidents to each. driver. has experienced many accidents. over the one where. the east is

a 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 for sure. but. 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 with software developer ejido body talk has been well . mobility designed to get you to work on time and without stress. on its name where i work and sort of useful. against barack because there. is a service that is going to help was on the cans to transport most people are suffering every morning waiting for taxes scrambling for my loves you there might

be a but here we are going to solve this problem i am very proud of my. son. connects motorists who have empty seats never vehicles with passing just wanting to catch a lift into town or back. payment is done by a mobile money platforms such as mtesa 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 quill i 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 for drivers taking part in the service and about 50 paying passengers. there's no money for publicity work. from home 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 which change to a different. will in kenya actually well known for its well in a letter but not necessarily it's actually it's not yet. with skateboarding kicking off in east africa in the lead up to its debut in the next olympics d.w. metz the children of nairobi were dreaming of becoming the world's best can't

botha's when they grow up. to me say again escaping helps me to be strong when i am on my schedule but i feel freeney 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. she gets the chance. to. be my role being. 100 children but a speech box is the best part of least the children think so. because i must get. the 24 team it's not just east africa's best

state but also it's largest for the children of self-confidence they've been able to express themselves they've been able to fulfil 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. she sees a brighter future for kenya. as often as i dream of going to the olympics one day and introducing women. showing them they shouldn't be afraid of skating because nothing is impossible you just have to have to move around and you feel like and have enough confidence confident enough. to make a living but skateboarding one day and when she wants to build a home for my obese underprivileged children. and i'm sure what

dream house well thought really be kate. now from if africa to west africa we're traveling to total it's time for our not my. today guy didn't go on. how to always keen to share his passion about the totally capital with us. i'm glad he's so sculptor of giants i'll introduce you to my beautiful city one of my sources of inspiration i hope you like it. at the so i was born into a capital ronnie which is home to more than 1700000 people. voted on the border with ghana of the coastal city horse 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 it as it is mainly used for transfer shipments the majority of the population live off from one tree. no

man is a police and these sense of transport it is also noticeable in a studio located in the neighborhood of the coming. war this is why i communicate with the would i like to bring new life to the dead my sculptures 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 wood from living trees one serving nature is very important to him the hands kutta also incorporates recycled materials into his act what's to make people aware of the importance of protecting the environment like many cities in west africa a man has a problem with it's with money it's made this interim i always feel shocked when i see people to rubbish on the street that is why i gather to waste to include it in

my work i even pay people to go to the. and collect trash for me here so. the so also nukes for inspiration beyond environmental issues he also gathers ideas from the local at attention and historical treasures such as rome is old pierre which was built by the german colonial regime in the early 20th century. 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 plans with more than acted like the peace monument located into this culture takes its inspiration from the castles piece down. this statue inspires me a lot it's

a great monument resents peace in the world there's also this moral project initiated by 2 goalies artist jimmy hope. maybe 2 police artists have worked on this mural. 8 review i.q. whenever i come here i feel like i am immersed in a world full of art around. to so often comes to the beach to share his act with everybody but on 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 laugh runs a great reach into the week and the path of sport to say goodbye to tell me it was a pleasure to show you around my city law me i hope you liked it come and discover
