our cars funds is on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trends doesn't matter to you. mm hm. 60 minutes on dw, ah, what people have to say matters to us, or that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d. w. hi there rogue love you up and if this is your 1st time, welcome to the 77 percent. sure. here on this program we tackle important issues affecting the lives of office youth. my name is michael ot and i am glad to have you here with in today's program,

we had to lagos nigeria and asked people why there is such a big gap between the rate and then we meet the canyon south. her wrist uses you all to tackle social problems with later on in. so molly land, i'll introduce you to the country with the mill naval captain, with welcome back. for the t in africa is reducing yes or financial reforms and open economies have led to businesses and money. but his wealth is not evenly distributed. now get this africa as 3 wealthy as balloonists have more money than the bottom, 50 percent of africans combined. and nor where is this disparity more evident, done in legos, herron nigeria, commercial capital, poverty, if 15 minutes away from extreme wealth.

well come to me, go ask because the biggest city many believe that's hard was just anyone can make it here. that's why thousands of young people are migrating here from west africa and around the area with dreams to hit the big. the result, i'm exploring population an economy. what as the economy boom for the gap between the rich and the poor gifts whiter. this is michael cook, probably the biggest, floating slum in the world. about 250000 people live here on legal. there is limited access to solicitation services, electricity schools or even clean water. i'm just looking at this walk around and he's he has a very strong smell of yes. need to be decades of law. should

just you mean it's that we've been li, the was cain, they show me the was born and raised in michael. he has agreed to sure around his home this is actually i slept with i slip with my breath. busy furniture is like, this is the 3rd is just this is where pick up, but this is, this is the good news for what to take. what i say in this coming. we believe, you know, believe my money. but every, every minute. so 11 through that would be live also. your one isn't one might be successful. so we don't have anything disney anymore. that's all that governments. i'll do this for 60 percent of league oceans leave in

slums and what's our communities? many informal settlements, also risk demolition as the government expands the city. but just a 15 minute drive from michael city, legal island, most nigeria and celebrities and billionaires called the school for the vast majority of young nigeria, which all living here is about as unimaginable watching the sky. yet that doesn't stop the sky high purpose, the prices illegal score lead poverty and only imaginable will exist within driving dispense. what economists worry, the bubble of wealth and reading cannot last such inequality could was seen insecurity and leave a 1000 in a vicious cycle of poverty. what before poor, poor them out of poverty, you need the right level of access for this access in several dimensions. number

one is access to finance. it won't education, health care. while the reach the sheltered lives on legal island, insulated by their mansions and wealth communities like michael, just about keep your heads above water. what. how long this dynamic will last? if anyones get they're going to stay in michael cool for a little longer. this informal settlement started as efficient village years ago, but today it has grown into a metropolis on stilts. the local state government has threatened to demolish it several times, but us faced resistance from people who call it home. madry, a hoss, some of the wealthiest people on the african continent. so why does it please like mckoko still exist? that is what my colleague it, it command you find salt. and this week version of asked you to beat ah,

hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are in lagos, nigeria, more specifically, where in muckle and informal area in this place. and so we're wondering how do those people who live in extreme poverty lives side by side with some of the richest on the continent, and what does that disparity to society? well, i've got here a panel of very good looking people who are ready to speak to me, and i'm gonna start with henry who, what's what oxfam. this is the 1st time, but you're here michael, could just give me your views so far. what, what do you think? i haven't quite seen if people are impoverished as i'm seeing here today, i will say in an environment asa visited has some seen here today. i will quite seen lack of government present like i'm seeing here today is, is quite disheartening. i must say, all right, let me speak to henry because i wanted to ask him, having grown up, you grew up in michael korea and what growing up there was light, so green of him. okay. for me out seeds a privilege year to privilege and it says that i had to, you know,

try as much as was you linda by the through yes. going with parents, your parents. i to get that and definitely do really want to push you to do more, more in a scenario by your parents to are normally very dictated on even the environment you find yourself are people are not pushing dots, a level of education. can i tell you the other? yeah. tall is also true. gent. criminal, understood snow. going to school? yeah. to bore. i'm just up. what's your dad? my parents. i did that on the fight. he knew duff la fight for me to make sure that i attended degree of education. right. so what you're describing hayes, what academics would say is a cycle of poverty j. daniel, is it something that you also experienced? no, you didn't grow up in local, but as an informal settlement as well. well, it was the experience similar to what we're observing minus similar, but not this extreme. because i mean coming from a place where you have to constantly provide for yourself. you have to constantly do things for yourself, just like, oh,

my kind of colleague said that the governments are not really interested in our well being. we've seen on government organizations come down to these communities just to take pictures because they want to post on social media. they want to make it look like they're doing something. so i think what is the real problem? it's not that we don't have the resources, but the problem is they really don't see this people us are a bit before before we, before we get to the 2 of you, let me invite sir the other daniel? yes, we have to daniel's and to henry, as i hope you can keep up where the gobs every year when the budget is read out, these a lot of money being pumped into the country. why isn't it getting here? it's been a systemic issue for people not to be a butcher for government are supposed to kid before the needs of people living is going to speak, but to take care of their dear you so much greeting so much or problem of people not on a sunday funding there is need for people to be to be taken care of. so leadership is a major problem and that is all your local. all right. one, me, it had something to say to me and then henry all gets and what, daniel,

i say this is like this. i'm not developed, not because the government goes on with that issue developing well because the government and society, the got, the government is bent on commercializing. this is like this. so this is like a identified by the government and found right that they are sold, disappears to some government officials on that in 2 years. this, this is 115 going to be more used. and then if that apple is inside, yes, you are going to see a fancy sta that is going to be sold for the sam rich people that are buying the sim assets that we have in nigeria. okay, let me ask henry, because having lived in this community, was that a fear that you had because i've had it said that, yeah, people don't know if tomorrow they went to wake up and their house is going to be under water. some of them though, really once you're in a video house, because you're scared of him by tomorrow, not to go my just corman take all of us. he we so why am i doing this for the morning when i'm looking at it? if governments want him to have up with this, what that what, okay, what has social life you would, how did you want to keep surviving? because this with washer ment, okay. then it's

a fish on water. if you're going to take them out of weight is the weight added to them tree. let me, let me, let me ask fortune for a 2nd here because based on this, on the, in the rooms you sit with is the plan to get rid of informal settlements. like mccorkle, i'm not telling you that some of this is, are not happening. are you getting me? but we, what i know right now d, d, d, present. gov. know we have in lucas states is a very, very, as the proxy governor, like, you know, he's very emphatic. but the question is, why hasn't that governor brought schools, hospitals, police stations to this place if you think so highly of it, okay. when we talk about developments, when we talk about said goods, it's just not just on automatic. when you get to me it's, it's, it's the text got dropped process. so for me, i have been getting rid of these very please, because i know data sometimes in the future. anything can come more or you go to me . i know i don't, i don't understand that. so you don't develop it because of what might happen in

the future. no, no, no, i'm not saying it's not going to be different loops. i don't even know that the police ladies does as i'm just having the idea to do. okay, daniel. oh, let me, let me, let me come to henry a. daniel, you're itching, talk to me, talk to me, daniel. so it is obvious that there is mussels to nibble plant where government, she gently on. oh, to miss please. what is supposed to be? the only don't get to your government and the news iran is just like this is were ok we need to demolish is police what we need to find it police or me to move even in, in, in moving to people, there is no sustainable plan. henry henry, what is it? okay, what was the time i was gonna post our list off as queues is trust me. and he asked kathy, i'll give you an all day and thought, i'm not doing this because it all here while ago. but again, you see, you see a committee like this is, is, is similar to the core area where we had like regular plain project,

lance lance we again from to see from to what's as, why can begin this land from this water. and i handed over back to the people and i give them access to the sea when they come fish, because not boatman piracy is because the power to that we're getting for them said under the, for the on good. think of the big names in danger already already 5 big below now that the comfortable spend your wealth in the lifetime and did a community existing like this so, so would it the good kind of wanted to hello to heaven for that out that a yeah. question, what yes area was gonna say something or if you want change, that is consequences for change or you got to me. so it's not like maybe i am defending the government or whatsoever. if they're going to develop these ready, please, it is not sonton of to yes. because this place is what are lot. are you getting me saw is something i would take years. i just am time i listen to it depends on the kind of dilemma latinos, are we talking about diploma in the sense that you want to demolish if they're looking at of course, if they're gonna develop did very place it has to go done because there's not to

for you told in a bit. yeah. okay, so i'm sorry we have to wrap up and so i'm, i've got to ask for solutions. i need to know what the ne julian government can do, what african government can do to close the gap between the rich and the poor. let's hear from you daniel. we need to festival. the government needs to calm down into this, please, and make them feel loved fresh. he needs to be in part. definitely when you talk about people from this place, the only perceived them to be streets, kids to cause vowel list of course nuisance. and these things aren't intentional. so for the government to see change for the government to see our progress, the need to bring this people into the system. fantastic. daniel, let's hear from you. okay, so i think going to show some search commitments. mitchell, people, you are, the moment is levy before them. the resources that are meant for them, please let it gets or do make them feel like they belong to the larger society. okay. henry, you said something earlier about the richest man not being able to spend his wealth

in a lifetime, but should he give it up to god mentioned with deliberate about it. god bless you, the instrument of tax to redistribute that come of resources here, such data, the chorus of person can actually have access to the the most basic of facilities and amenities. what, okay, for me, do you have any ideas of what we can do to end? well, see the quality, the government needs to stop listening to people from community such as the us up stop listening to just while you see spots well, most likely never stepped our feet into this community. so coming to such as this should be listened to. half the all me since, and get to with them. why i good with them. i mean, you seem to them, you know exactly what feeds for between each community. okay. thank you. to our panelists, who have braved the boards to come here who have braved the weather to stay. and as i speak to us, and also i have to take the crew to day falls when during the same until you our day of us. thank you for watching i'm interested to know what the legal state government is actually doing for the

people of michael. that is why i'll be watching a longer version of this debate on our youtube channel. you can also do the same. what we have just seen in mccorkle is by no means isolated. it is happening in several african countries. but perhaps this problem is much more visible inside pickup. this is where the world richest person ellen mosque was born. many of africa below ness lived in the country. the 77 percent takes you to the impoverished ta shifts of. so went all and the motions in upper class. there been me show you how young people navigate this deeply divided society where social class and race are the most defining factor of once future. south africa is one of the most unequal societies of black middle class. however, it's katie, lead rising in the past 30 years for 1000000 black south african household left dia, poverty for a life of wealth and comfort not known before. in the city of dublin,

we met one of the lucky few formated hello, hello, my name is bria. welcome to my home 2 months ago because he moved into her new apartment with her daughter. besides running her own small interior decor company, she works as a marketing manager for technology company, who she has lots of plans for her life. and i'm saving money to my tuition. i really want to study psychology up to a level where i attain a ph. d, and pursue psychology. so this lovely lady, she's a cyclist, and this other thing, i'm so privilege to get these nice troops. the last go into me all these for free, all expenses paid. and the previous year was in l. a. the trouble of a walk, the board, but times will not only sweet today because he lives in another world. it's different because i'm able to do the things that i like at my own time at my own

pace and for lack of a better word, i'm free to see 500 kilometers and also devlin in pins. so rico go to her old neighborhood to meet someone who have the same dream of living. the township behind i, my name is adam, are from taylor long to show home off on my so i and i was the fast in his family to go to university. but 2 months ago he was kicked out. he's timely, could not pay the tuition any more. now i and that he's back helping out as his mother's tavern at diploma and a well paid job. i now farther away than ever oh my boys mud lake leaves my kid. maybe eat central bees of academics in all the subjects is good. he was the number one. so i think he can do his not fit to be given

a chance so that he can, you know, pursue his bed and become what, what he wants to become. and seems to be kind of his family and make a better life. rancho voice is, sir. i yonder lives in a room behind the tavern, 10 percent of south africans, on more than 80 percent of the country's wealth. when i am the, he is this numbers he filled thick. though we out grub than i for like go small like it'll pass a law the fall like parents. they didn't get a chance to fully become who they wanted to become. reason why the environment we settle in, we can the console free book in dublin. lucy takes her daughter to the beach a year ago, lucy fulfilled a life dream and bought a big cup. she believes that no matter where you come from, you could make it. ah, it's unbelievable. like it go from the way to driving and you bring in

for me. that's like that's power. if you put your mind to anything that you want and you do it and you go off there it's it is livery. ah ah. so i feel like this never and unless done years back to will start senior sells of people who can, who also mean something out there because i feel like most of the people we feel like we don't value ourselves that much. i. over the years, the situation is sort of like a house improved. but still big goths remain all around a continent. the government's own continent appear to be undertaken policies that fee by the rich. so sometimes it needs to be reminded of its duty to its less privileged population. and that is what seems to kimani is screwed up into goose ascii is widely known and gulf leaves a brunt of comedy canyons love his success on social media and tv has helped him
