competition rivalry marketing atmosphere powered by intuition love money. fans friends fun fans and friends. 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 like you're an entrepreneur take agriculture to the next level. and choreographed by. some north shows us some dance moves in a home town. 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 report. the funniest thing i have sold was a girlfriend and it was the only one. well here's the whole story. the only place. where there was a gun but also the professional. that's the sweetest and all those specially when you receive the message. you feel. scared and who are the only one. and there is nothing wrong like winning your 1st bid because that makes you know if that's because you've got 100 you get 500 and you feel like they will get more but

they're noticing betty 20000. me later little my name is the gnome or denise and i. i was born in ireland raised in. 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 i'm not do without a list i get options seriously as he watches. t.v. i have even sort of my television cell phone but the funniest thing i have sort of

was important to a friend and it was the only one i had for putting a gun if i had to lie to him that 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. 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. have been disclosed what you told me was still. good for you when you're. a good set of bits in this you get to get money you don't know what you can use to cities in india in 500

cities 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 do it again because you feel if you try again you will then you continue doing do it till you become addictive several people. have their own side of whatever business they buy hugely into battle. if i want to this morning by cream i didn't know that money for ice cream and i would have another one that i want to use i'm leaving i do much to listen well and see what i think most people don't play so well when i buy he wants a bit. bettin has changed a lot of life it's already destroyed

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 for that job trying to do it all means you are trying to say or clues to play the game or you are trying to say you want to play the game we are trying to you know say your best not be longer just to you know easy but i am i say if you want to play you play for you don't to me it's your choice and i won't force anybody to play a game of i want what anyone not to play. is all about your mindset what i used to do in. 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

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. cannot become big market is the one for us in the talent market has always been aged between 18 and that for 2 that i don't there and there are these comprises over 80 percent of the gambling market and the reason why we go with a population that's most of the countries it's the internet penetration of it and the more wealth in attributed another factor that has made they can market to grow very fast. so they embrace a payment model he's able to make 1000 people a little bit raise them 3. the reason why 76 percent of young

activists country is because over 80 percent of the option in this country isn't employed 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 i say it's not on last i don't think we need betting money in anything in this country and then the government that's putting companies which 50 percent now that money go to a particular cause is going to we have to bet him the money can go towards that the sports they give them what they should do is stop stealing from the community by encouraging betting among young people don't even have jobs. companies the governments are not done bidding companies without giving us an alternative of getting provides some sort of hope you can win that money if you win

you not need to still have 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 call you that what they are. elastic over. the biggest amount i have lost i want 114000 shillings in withdrew 7000 and left a balance of 6700 in the my account so that's the only amount of the trust me when i lost and that they drank all the money i had because i was angry. in never suddenly. nearly. and you know niger. many. that is 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 times started that is 300-6700 shillings that translates to 2 months and something this is. so losing this money hard to the point i decided i was done with betting but you know how you used up at night. and you knew and. the cycle repeats itself. 6 that we just phone or sylvia is 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 will have to start a business in the business not picking up the only option that remains and this fails when the reality is the drinking that because you cannot be sober. and.

the future of betting is big enough in a company that want to invest in betting in africa this is the extent because countries countries are opening up in terms of internet and mobile that they and or believe that betting creates jobs ally what would bet india's creates force hope if you're going to win some money and so you think because you're betting you're working out what you actually allowed someone to steal money from you for knowingly betting companies going faster which to everyone that betting is harmful is dangerous 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 a 77 x. the w dot com and now on to 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 mend northwestern cameroon here's what the message said i'm going to read it out for you derek 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. here is the 1st report in our new series called. this is the prototype of an a.t.m. made in cameroon an african made cash machine while you can see these rates of cardboard inside each time chanel and brady were all made by 23 year old engineering student 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 the time wasn't really functioning with and so i saw it as a problem and i decided to do something becomes 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 sky he built his own prototype do you think scratch material and simple electronics lecturer is delighted the 1st time you thought you told me how you wanted to manufacture and it's a machine i simply told him young man don't know something to believe it but if you're really serious want to do something let me see the prototype even to see the prototype i see in him somebody was like very. very nice to live in if possible. but derek's ambitions do not stop at the simple put right one day he hopes to build

up his own 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. some sort of bullish season agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head shrinker at farm lab you know good state southwestern nigeria believes

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 agree business you're on the on the road to wealth so what caught your eye because grandfather deeds 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 sister make you rich. both for 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 reach out and i realize not everybody has the amounts to pay for training now you don't want people to going 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 lengthy fee and 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 to. almost accurately not accurately almost accurately. call only if an ice and other.

students filter this growing patch during a one week program they learn how to set up a soil or scare a planet from nutrient 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 trial system you are where you want to set up the trial for the plan. i always great about the way for workers to pass through for obviously. some sort of. team convinced solace 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 program across nigeria. we stay in west africa

and move on to ghana over the years the capital city across has developed into a high fashion hub now the young designers in our next report wanted to produce fancy clothes for young customers clothes that stand out on top of that they wanted their creations to be a sustainable so they used trash but he designs my it's not everybody's tastes but they are definitely good for the environment. passion and fun certainly go hand in hand a crowd based design. bill is known for colorful eye catching and sustainable creations. and you show up for a bomb for and his brother calvin have been a part of ghana's fashion scene for some time now and the designing signature items from waste materials like plastics and broken are is our main goal was to create

this same effect the same jackets and stuff that people knew was we wanted to create the same thing with their rabbit ears and like to make them have the same feel and then scenes we learned about by a year and a half nice being going great planful and his team collect plastic waste littering that community and the 5 percent of $1000000.00 tonnes of plastic rubbish generated every year is recycled waste materials ok police sorted and prepared ready to be sewn. with the label the young designers lead the pack in creating clothes through up cycling they want on they insist on choosing their inspired sustainable fashion. to get to a point where you step in town and everybody's wearing your dress you know in town is. great for people i think that the bigger vision.

when the coronavirus pandemic made runway shows impossible bumpus crew didn't just hang around waiting for things to change in this small studio they put together a virtual fashion event. model showcased the latest creations before they hit the shelves. bumper believes mentorship is vital for the future generations of fashionistas. he visits schools like this to speak to children encouraging them to consider a career in fashion. i read sort of that i talk to them because i believe that eve they knew how to use to the markets was a holiday you can make a living not so. like most of them was proud to be. today's talk already seems to have motivated several kids.

but the spiral right what even said i i want to be a fashion designer but because what's very really. ghana is already home to a number of stylish fashion a bomb for his brother now hope to take it to the next level today opera tomorrow the world. and maybe that will soon be sold in neighboring booking a facile well this is a country that has some names that are pretty difficult for me as an east african to pronounce the capital is what i do today we want to take you to the 2nd largest city bobo do less so most people just call it bubble it's a vibrant city with lots of influences from neighboring countries we found a talented local to show us his favorite spots in the city. only to history i guess
