discover. the a. documentary on. the by. as for mr dives it does i have to close with my job means working through dad and what dying means to us humans but through this i've come to understand so much more about the life out there she is. and then my mom. being good scheffler is an undertaker she sends people off on their final journey and offers comfort to the ones they've left behind as the corona pandemic drags on she tries to accomplish this seemingly impossible to be close to strangers in their most
3:17 pm
difficult hour while staying at a safe distance. candlelight helps create a subject to the atmosphere the mask is a precaution to get scheffler and her coworkers are right to give or prepare the body to be laid out in the casket in germany this is the undertakers task. haven't learned such long hair amazing isn't it after suffering else i miss for years this woman passed on aged 95 in a nursing home in berlin in the full freshener up a bit for her final journey. sana and i always washed the body often together with family members but under the evidence of them. didn't open up my then it's
3:18 pm
like giving them one final loving caress or one final loving gesture on. the let them leave before i give up on my we clean and dress the body. and give them a farewell touch there have been times when the family lives behind did so much when we just stand back and provide little assistance. it's always so touching when that happens. but the coronavirus pandemic robbed many people of this opportunity in many cases those left behind were only allowed a final glimpse. then here i'm not i'm at one of if she had died awful with covert 19 and of course we would have to take more precautions. then we put on smallpox and where not only masks but also some protective devices. and then we'd have to take extra care when moving the body. being the primary danger comes from the air
3:19 pm
that might still be in her lungs that could escape of life in the long flight of life and there's really quite a lot to consider. for this to go off on in march. of the deceased's they've prepared this winter big it says one in 5 had the coronavirus the 3rd it's quite rare that we trace the body in undergarments but that's all she had from wearing suits to suck which is east we've seen everything out of in the form. i often wonder when she's satisfied with her life if you were to ask her now was she happy. much she'd done something differently she could decide all over again my insight and current. not long ago to get made a life changing decision she gave up her position on the board of the media outlets and went into business for herself. safe
3:20 pm
travels. and there. the change came as quite a surprise to bigot's family. the 1st thing i did was tell my husband. and his initial reaction was very calm and collected but today looking back he admitted he thought nothing would ever come of it that he thought i'd forget about it in a few weeks like a crazy thought that never lasts. but he was wrong. 6 year old me to see her mum's profession as a normal job like any other death is no to do with the family. i was a letter to my daughter nice but i day she knows i'm an undertaker. and she also knows the most part what that may that's what it's not the main topic of conversation at home. it's completely normal just like with any other profession
3:21 pm
sometimes we talk about it and sometimes we don't it always comes up when she sees that atlanta move that started a little bug in her prescribe. for just food then she'll say i want to come and bury it. and now i know the others i'll restrain the others say. that i know you're only an undertaker for people ok good. when being good was 27 her mother died suddenly without any previous illness she was. 60 years old her death and big it's experience with the undertaker back then do effect be a good in her work today that might i'm for these i saw for myself what it was like back then when from one day to the next without any warning you find yourself having to part with someone very close to you. and your guns guns and there are no mention of cops at the time we got run through process more or less passively.
3:22 pm
out of any capacity if there's nobody really actually was there to help us. it was all quiet run of the mill and. that time should have been more comforting for us. and that's why i'm trying to do things differently now. not so much bigot and sorrow started a funeral parlor in the midst of the pandemic a relatively uncomplicated process in germany to share house or fairy house office custom funeral concepts tailored to individual requirements the 2 women often accompanied the family members for several weeks doing what they can to help them through difficult farewells that's not customary for the business and be a good service is cost a bit more but morning family member any car appreciates or he does. can i get that for you but you certainly any costs mother passed away a few months ago after a long illness if this is what i think it turned out beautifully we had it brand.
3:23 pm
new think it's so beautiful. and he's mother was cremated like most to see is germans any design to earn herself. everything here with some much love and care they really think about how to make this process as bearable as possible how can they bring a little joy to the mourners how can we connect better it's a good feeling. to place it in a. perfect perfect. when it's an all but what if i weren't such an environmentalist i would have made one last cigarette in there. but i couldn't do that to the environment. and his mother did not die of covert still even at her farewell the pandemic makes itself felt the big wake won't be taking place for
3:24 pm
henny it just makes the burden harder to bear i've invited. so sad that i have to call all my mom's family and friends before the funeral and tell each and every one of them that we can tug at the cemetery and that we'll all have to wear masks we'll have to postpone that for when it's safe to gather again sometime in the summer i hope that makes me so sad and embrace what bring us closer together and to be able to take someone in your arms and receive comfort yourself it's such a shame to have to miss out on that that's a tough shot of. the funerals to be held the following day. since the mourners won't be able to eat together she packed lunches for everyone. in cafeteria at a cafe we could've just reserved a table and taken everyone there it would have been easier because we could have spent more time together that way but a lot of love has gone into this dance can anybody but not every problem caused by the pandemic can be solved as creatively as the can such simple things as shaking
3:25 pm
hands or even just reaching out a hand sometimes i take my hand in both of mine when i see that someone is struggling and i have them really tight and deep in their eyes i miss that i long for the day when that's possible again. but nobody knows when that day will arrive be good has to take things as they come that too was something her profession has taught her. to dive it up to me my job means working through death and what dying means to us humans that hoard for inspection but always true that i've come to appreciate so much more about life and i think i'm much more able to enjoy life my and i guess that's leaving that's leading to me since so there are so many things about life i couldn't truly grasp until now 3rd. that this truly is not just a profession to me it's a calling. from italy myth of job. and her life's work begins where another
3:26 pm
life ends the day has come when his mother is to be buried. now it is today is another corona situation some 50 people watched the battle of burial and at the wake of 2 words that only around 20 are allowed into the chapel will open the door was will have loudspeakers outside and a microphone set up inside so the ones who have to stand outside probably i was listening. just let me take a quick look up front to see the command list is there i'm sure must be the social distancing rules allow no more than 20 people in the chapel at a time the other mourners will have to live. and to the ceremony over loudspeakers i reckon i'm excited it's just about to start and we've had to set up quite a lot in a relatively short time and it's a live situation so everything that works works and everything that doesn't doesn't we can't repeat anything. out that's mass our. i would say.
3:27 pm
789. 2 chairs. chairs i need chairs once everything set up i'll come down. they had just half an hour to decorate the chapel sarra and to get have some helpers to make sure it all goes without a hitch hennie gets to see the results 1st. thank you it looks great doesn't it now well not if you can tell so it's even better if it's so wonderful to see how many people have sent flowers it's so incredibly beautiful. in between the speeches music by the total whores and the beatles blasts through the loudspeakers it's a memorial service that's not just sad just the way henny wanted it.
3:28 pm
hurt. her. and you can take fitting leave of a muppet and big it is glad that everyone is happy attention is going on and now i can breathe a sigh of relief and happiness that haven't even left out so well and the feedback was so positive many people said that's exactly how she was in life and she would have loved the service and that's great that's the nicest feedback you could ask for. be a good chef look i'm to take mc friend in need and shining light in times of darkness. quite.
3:29 pm
fast much to the great fortune. it can be so simple and it can also go so terribly wrong. many young africans missed a lot in sports betting. far too many of them. are totally. no change comes to the happy. meanest isn't banksy crime. the country has gnomes to give the forces the clothesline sation the modern history can a new. business ideas and very new dreams with.
3:30 pm
what secrets lie behind. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore. heritage sites. world heritage 360. now. hello and welcome to a brand new edition of the 77 percent my name is liz show and i'm excited to be your host today. here's what's coming up. we shed light on the shady world of sports betting in africa. young nigerian entrepreneurs take agriculture to the next level. and choreograph i give moveable belief and those shows us some dance moves in the hometown boy.
3:31 pm
over the past decade sports betting has become a huge business across africa many young people hope to make a quick buck and sold they are willing to risk their last cent sometimes you hear the wildest stories just like this one from dennis in our upcoming report. the funniest thing i have sold was bought a girlfriend and it was the only one i had bought a betting again. well here's the whole story. i'm betting the only. one of you know there's no super money than that that's the sweetest especially when you receive the message you've worn you feel like your newborn. and there is nothing wrong like winning your fast because that makes you you know if that's because you've got to get 5 and then you feel like they might get more but they're
3:32 pm
known as i'm betting so neither are the 2. related little my name is dave or denise and guy. i was born in co and raised in co and i am going what. 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 cannot do without a list i get all the options and yes even as he watches. shouts at me i have even so to make a living cell phone but the funniest thing i have sold was important to
3:33 pm
a friend and it was the only one i had for preparing a galley i had to lie to him but it was a name i guess the issue i wanted to so just so i could give 20 shillings for getting to know it is life. wow he 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. would have been do you suppose what i'm told was just. before you leave your. bets what. a good set of bitterness you get to get money you don't know what you can use to cities and in 500 cities
3:34 pm
and the bad side is if you use the money you are supposed to use for something good for 2 bits and then you lose easy you may not get on when you when you do it you encourage you doing it because you feel if you try again you win then you continue doing you become addictive seen several people. have their own side of whatever business by investing hugely into bets of course they rob if i want to do this morning by screen i didn't know that money for ice cream and i would have one of the one that i want to use i'm pleased that i do much well and see what i think most people don't play so well when i do want to bet . bettin has changed a lot of life it's already destroyed
3:35 pm
a lot of life because some people does not have jobs they depend on it now which is very wrong all right and some people play due to the love of sports you get that's now i think is becoming addicted because of the way you hear how many people without jobs trying to do or meet you are trying to say oh to play the game or you are trying to say you want to play the game you are trying to. say your best not belong just to you know it is all of our mindsets if you want to play you play for you don't to me it's your choice and i will force anybody to play a game of i would. not believe this is all about your mindset what i used 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
3:36 pm
a bet using your phone many young africans who are unemployed have fallen into the temptation of earning money overnight 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 of $1500000000.00 in i the time it market has always been between 18 and the 4 to that 5 i don't there and then these comprises over close to 80 percent of the gambling market and the reason why we grow with a population less than most of the countries it's the internet penetration and the more wealth in attrition. another factor that has made the kenyan market to grow very fast is impressive so there embezzlement model is able to make 1000 people that have recently. the reason why 76 percent of the
3:37 pm
betting in this country is because over 80 percent of the option of this country isn't in progress and that the majority so if i met you for an employer and then you see a better night budgeting 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 what it companies 4050 percent of that money go to a particular cause going to we have beautiful boy get it to bet him the money can go towards that the sports that goes the money should do stop stealing from the community by encouraging betting among young people don't even have jobs. and the government should not been beating companies without giving us an alternative of getting provides some sort of hope you can win that money if you win
3:38 pm
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 of the. opportunities that you that what i am. elastic over. the biggest amount i have lost i went 211-4000 shillings in with drew 7000 and left a balance of 6700 in my account so that's the only amount of that trust me when i lost that day drunk all the money i had because i was angry. in never suddenly. and you know i don't like. many lyden. that is
3:39 pm
a lot of money before you hustle and such money done a lot for instance i spent 100 shillings a day for my meals so 100 times started that is 300-6700 shillings that translates to 2 months in something this is me eating well so losing this money hard to the point i decided i was done with getting but you know how you used up at night. and you knew and the cycle repeats itself. 6 that we just don't know 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 it is not crime we'll have to start a business in the business not picking up is the only option that remains and this fails when the reality is to drinking because you cannot be sober when you're.
3:40 pm
the future and betting is big enough any company that want to invest in betting in africa is that it's time because countries countries are opening up in terms of internet and mobile that to them or believe that betting a lie what would betting does creates force hope that 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 and betting is harmful is going to rest between q then you can talk about regulation 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 to 77 at your dot com and now on to
3:41 pm
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 many northwestern cameroon here's what the message said i'm going to read it out for you they're 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. amanda here's the 1st report in our new series called. this is the prototype of an a.t.m. made in chemical and african made cash machine while it exceeds rates of cardboard if in fact it is function and brady 2 were all made by 23 year old engineering
3:42 pm
student and very close to. the house from the bank without we drew a morning because the mission was the machines were limited and also the mission that was at a time wasn't really functioning with and so i saw it as a problem and i decided to try to do something he comes from northwestern coming like many of the cities in the country drawing cash here can become a nightmare because a.t.m.'s are so scott he built his own prototype using scratch materials and simple electronics he's a lecturer is delighted the 1st time you thought you told me how you wanted to manufacture on its emission i simply told him young man that not something to play a bit but if you're really serious go on produce something let me see the prototype even to see the prototype i see in him somebody was like very willing to. go to the most liberal if possible. but then week's edition do not stop at the simple prototype one day he hopes to build up his own company producing a.t.m.
3:43 pm
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. some sort of bullish sees agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head strain at farm that you know good states southwest and nigeria believes
3:44 pm
agriculture must be business minded technology driven and climate smart the 38 year old is also keen to pass on his knowledge to others. remember that if you practice like record show you before practice i agree business you're on the on the road to wealth so what is your i recall choice that you know a grandfather and as a student you should ask yourself how rich was your grandpa. how rich you are no more from eyes that you know if they are not well how can the poor system make you rich. over the past 7 years bully has trained over 10000 young nigerians for him agriculture is no way to make a quick buck and requires a hands on approach. a lot of people retire and they realize not everybody has the amounts to pay for training now you don't want it with you going
3:45 pm
to 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 don't all of that. for free and actually set up a form 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 quickly know how quickly it will almost. all if an ice and other.
3:46 pm
students built this growing patch during a one week program they learn how to set up a soil or scare a planet from nutrients laden mist nourishes the plants which makes maximum use of area and fertilizer. so less from an opposite principle farming if you follow the principle you can apply to many plants you want to develop on your farm so for the trough system you where you want to set up the trail for the plant. and you create a pathway for workers to pass through for obviously. some sign of the boy and his family have team are convinced soulless farming could be a blueprint for sub-saharan african countries to feed themselves sustainably and profitably. with the number of students increasing daily. plans to grow his training programme across nigeria. we stay in west africa
