6:31 am
over the past decade sports betting has become a huge business across africa many young people hope to make a quick buck and so they are willing to risk their last cent sometimes you hear the wildest stories just like this one from dennis in our upcoming reports you know you did the funniest thing i have sold was bought girlfriend and it was the only one i had for betting against. well here's the whole story. the only other one done more that was a gun but also a professional let me know. that that's the sweetest and always sweet especially when you receive the message you want what you feel like you want to pawn how you know my skin and who will lend you what end. and there is nothing wrong like winning the bid because that makes you know if that's because you've got to get 5 and then you feel like they will get more but they're known as and betty something
6:32 am
else that to. me later little my name is the loan or denison guy i was born in ireland raised in . and i am going. i was. really cool myself a bit an addict it's hard because to me that's like a job let's say it's a job i do but i not do without a list i get an option seriously as he watches. t.v. i have even sort of make a living cell phone but the funniest thing i have sort of was important to
6:33 am
a friend and it was the only one i had for putting a gun if i had to lie to him but it was a name like issue i wanted to so just so i could give 200 ceilings for getting to know it is life. even sold his last cooking pot. i have never placed a sports bed or any other kind of bet involving money but it seems that the whole betting game has a very strong grip on those who play regularly we asked people in west africa what they think about gambling. and have been disposed what's he told was just. before you. bet it was. a good set of bitterness you get to get money you don't know what you can use to cities and in 500 cities
6:34 am
and the bad side is if you use the money you are supposed to use for something. to bits and then you lose easy you may not get on when you when you do it you encourage you doing things because you feel if you win then you continue doing doing so you become addictive seen several people. have their own side of whatever business they buy hugely into battle because they rob if i want to do this morning by screen i didn't know the money for ice cream and i would have won i won that i want to lose i'm elated that i do well you see but i think most people don't play so well when i buy they want to bet. bettin has changed a lot of life it's already destroyed
6:35 am
a lot of life because some people does not have jobs they depend on it now which is very wrong or right and some people play due to the love of sports you get better now i think is becoming addicted because of the way you hear hardly speak or what our job trying to do or means you are trying to say or kluge to play the game or you are trying to say you want to play the game we are trying to. say your best not belong just to you know it is all about my sex if you want to make you play for you don't to me it's your choice and i won't force anybody to play a game of. what anyone or to me. is all about your mindset whatever i choose to do . making the choice to gamble has become a lot easier now that sports betting has shifted to digital platforms you don't even have to leave the house you can just place
6:36 am
a bet using your phone many young africans who are unemployed have fallen into the temptation of earning money over night simply by gambling but let's be honest who is the big winner in the end the gambler or the sports betting company. canonically market is the one in 5 of us. that i'm going to market has always been aged between 18 and the 2 for 2 that are 5 around there and their lives comprises over close to 80 percent of the gambling market and the reason why we go with a population of less than most of the countries it's the internet penetration mid and the more wealth in attrition. another factor that has made the kenyan market grow very fast is impressive so there embezzlement more than he's able to make 1000 . and 3. the reason why 76 percent of
6:37 am
this country is because over 80 percent of the option in this country isn't in progress and they're the majority so if i met you for an employer and then you see a bitch and i got a thing that if i bet i'm going to make some money and become rich but then even the few people who use them probably end up with bigger issues that makes me very very worried when i see a project that was done by a government company in mind they say it's not our last i don't think we need betting money in anything in this country and then the government that's been in companies 4050 percent now that money go to a particular cause can go back to we have beautiful record digital bet him the money can go towards that the sports they give them when they should do is stop stealing from the community by encouraging betting among young people don't even have jobs. and the government should not bun bit in companies without giving us an alternative
6:38 am
of getting provides some sort of hope you can win that money if you win you not need to still be bonded more people would result because only one is money and the government doesn't provide such opportunities out with you all in all though. it is that you that what i am. the biggest amount i have lost i went 211-4000 shillings in withdrew 7000 and left a balance of 6700 in the my account so that's the only amount that trust me when i lost that day drunk all the money i had because i was angry. in never suddenly. and you know niger. many lyden. that is
6:39 am
a lot of money before you hustle and such money done a lot for instance i spent 100 shillings a day for my mil's so 100 time started that is 2000 what 6700 shillings that translates to 2 months and some days this is me eating well so losing this money hard to the point i decided i was done with betting but you know how you used to put my then too. and you knew and as i cycle repeats itself. like that with just phone or sylvia there's nothing to do so what remains is that when you are brought up in the ghetto if you cannot depend on talent it is crime if it's not crime then you will have to start a business in the business not picking up is the only option that remains and all of this fails when the reality of drinking because you cannot be sober when you're
6:40 am
poor and. if it's on betting is big enough in a company that want to invest in betting in africa this is the extent because countries countries are ending up in terms of internet and mobile that they are or believe that betting creates jobs a lie what would betting does create false hope if you're going to win some money and so you think because you're betting your walk you know what you actually allowed someone to steal money from you for knowing me betting companies going faster which to everyone that betting is harmful is going to rest. in a kind of oregon mission now to make it safe for everyone. seriously i would never risk playing with my hard earned money what about you send me your opinion into a 77 x. the w dot com. and now on to
6:41 am
a young man who is also playing with money but only because it's a vital part of a machine he has built. a few weeks ago we at the 77 percent received a message from a professor in by men northwest and cameroon here's what the message said i'm going to read it out for you derek and good sam a level 2 student of polytechnic university by men that manufactures an a.t.m. from scratch could you come and report about it well that really made us curious so we sent our reporter on to a long journey from. manda here's the 1st report in our new series called. this is the prototype of an a.t.m. made income of an african made cash machine while it exceeds rates of capital inside ease tension on entreaties were all made by 23 year old engineering student
6:42 am
derek. the house from the bank what are we doing morning because the machine was the machines were limited and also the mission that was there at a time wasn't really functioning with and so i saw it as a problem and i decided to try to do something it comes from north western companies like many of the cities in the country droving cashier can become a nightmare because a.t.m.'s are so sky he built his own prototype do you think scratch material and simple electronics he's actually right is delighted the 1st time you thought you told me what you wanted to manufacture and it's a machine i said between young mind i know something to play a bit but if you're really serious produce something let me see the prototype. even to see the prototype i see in him somebody was like very willing to. live it if possible. but derek's a missions did not stop at the simple put. one day he hopes to build up his own
6:43 am
company producing a.t.m. made in canada. looks like the a.t.m. still needs a bit of work but it definitely shows engineering potential actually derek is not the only one using innovation and creativity to create jobs now when you think of a farm you probably don't think of a place like this well some young entrepreneurs in nigeria taking agricultural business to the next level with a concept that i wasn't familiar with soil less farming we visited their farm in in the southwestern part of the country it's a place where other young farmers are getting a glimpse of what the future of agriculture could look like. sounds on a bull is sees agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head strain at farm that in

6:45 am
agriculture without being properly trained if not they would waste money time with the resources so i figure out front i am setting up more farms what if i give people the opportunity to walk. at the same time so instead of looking for money to pay for your lesson fee for your land if you had all of that. for free and actually set up a farm farmers like gloria oil lobby you hope to scale up their agribusiness using the hydroponic method this uses water rich in nutrients instead of soil this makes planting and harvesting possible regardless of season. why because it is less than us and till. it. almost as quickly not accurately will almost accurately. call only if the ice and
