we had to lagos nigeria and asked me for why there is such a big gap between the rate and then we meet the canyon southwest. we use, if you want to tackle social problems with later on in somali land, i'll introduce you to the country for the mil naval cup. mm . welcome back. former tea in africa, it's reducing. yes. all financial reforms and opening economies have led to businesses and money. but his wealth is not evenly distributed. now get this african green wealthy as below ness have more money than the bottom. 50 percent of africans combined. and nowhere is this disparity more evidence done in legos herron, my jewish commercial capital, poverty is 15 minutes away from extreme wealth. well

come to me, go ask because the biggest city many believe that's the hard walk. just anyone come make it here. that's why thousands of young people, i'm migrating here from west africa and around the area with dreams to hit the big the results. i'm a lot a population, an economy. what as the economy boom for them. 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 leave here on legal. there is limited access to patient services, electricity schools or even clean water. i'm just looking at the walk around and he has a very strong smell of yes. need to be decades of law should

now just you mean it's that we've been leave? what came they show me the was born and raised in michael. he has agreed to sure around his home this is actually i slept, i slipped with my breast. busy furniture is like, this is the 3rd, which is, this is where we pick up, but this is, this is the good news for what to take away in this coming. if you would believe, you know, believe my money. but every, every minute from the hud and i to 11 to them would be live also. you all one isn't. one might be successful. so we don't have anything disney anymore. that's not government. i'll do this for 60 percent of legal 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 who sits legals island. most nigeria and celebrities, and 1000000000 is called the school for the vast majority of young niger areas, which all living here is about as only imaginable watching the sky. yet that doesn't stop the sky high property prices, illegal score lead poverty and only imaginable will exist within driving defense. what economists worry the bubble of wealth and ready c, p cannot last. such inequality could was seen insecurity and leave 1000 initial cycle of poverty. when people are poor, poor them out of poverty, you need the right level of access for this is accessing 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 to your heads above water. what, how long this dynamic will last? if anyone's guess, they're going to stay in market for a little longer. this informal settlement started as efficient village years ago, but today it has grown into a metropolis on stilts. the legacy states government has threatened to demolish it several times. but us 1st resistance from people who call it whom nigeria has some of the wealthiest people on the african continent. so why does a place like mckoko still exist? that is what my colleague it command finds out. and this week's version of our street debate

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 to those people who live in extreme poverty, live side by side with some of the richest on the continent. and what does that disparity does to us 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 works for oxfam. this is the 1st time that you're here, michael, could just give me your views. oh, 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 how some scene 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 local 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 difference. i to get that indefinitely. you really want to push you to do more, more in a scenario by your parents to on know really dedicated on even the environment. you find yourself. people are not pushing dots, a level of education. can i tell you the other you have thousands of children. bremner under st. snow, going to school. yeah. to bore. i'm just up what, you know, my parents, i did that on the fight. he knew the la fight for me to make sure that i degree education. right. so what you're describing jay's, what academics would say is a cycle of poverty j. daniel, is it something that you also experience? no, you didn't grow up in mexico, but as an informal settlement as well. well, it was the experience similar to what we observing minus similar, but not this extreme. because, i mean, coming from a place where you have to constantly spawn, provide for yourself. you have to constantly do things for yourself, just like,

or might try to police, said that the government or 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 you'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 are a bit before before we, before we get to the 2 of you, let me invite to the other daniel. yes, we have to daniel's, and to henry's i hope you can keep up where the gobs every year when the budget is read out, there is 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 get offered in these are people leaving this going to speech, but to take care of their dear you so much greedy so much or, 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,

i mean it had something to say to me and then henry, i guess what, daniel, i say this is like, this are more developed, not because the government goes on with that they should develop it because the government and society, the got the government is bent on co, much allies in places like this. so this is like the identified by the government and found right that they are sold, disappears to some government officials on that in 2 years. this, this is 150 going to the more use. and then if that happens in 5 years, you are going to see a fancy sta pierre. that is going to be sold them rich people that are buying the sim assets that we have in here. okay, let me ask henry, because having in this community was that a fear that you had because i've had it said that young people don't know if tomorrow they're going to wake up and their house is going to be under water. some of them don't really want to ruin a video house because you're scheduled here by tomorrow. not gonna just come on, take all of us. we. so why am i doing this for the morning when i'm looking at it? if governments want him to, if i could just this, what that, what, okay, what as social life with, how did you want to keep surviving?

because this with washer ment, okay. then each official letter, either going to take them out, or what is the way i did to them treat. let me, let me, let me ask for you 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 bought what i know right now d d, d, present got know we have in lucas did is a fairly very, as in plots you. gov know like, you know, it'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 is not just an automatic thing. are you getting me? it's it's, it's b, 6 got dropped process. so for me i have when we are getting rid of these ready, 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 exist on just having the idea to do. okay, daniel, ah, 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 no sustainable plan or government that he gently on how to make this blues. what is supposed to be the only don't get to your government in the news? iran is just like, this is where, ok, we need to demolishes police what we need to find it police or maybe move even in, in, in moving to people there is no sustainable plump henry henry. okay. okay. what was the time? of course you got rentals are all listed as queues is trust me. and he asked yog, given all about on your business, cuz they're down here a while ago. but again, you say you see a committee like this is, is, is similar to the court area where we had last lie with the payment project,

lance lance, we again from the see from to what's asked why can begin this land from this water? and i handed over back to the people and i give them access to the see when they come fish, because it's not goldman piracy. it's because the power to that we're getting for them safe and use it for their own good. pick up the big names in danger, all the 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 that chelsea yeah. gotcha. and what yes area was gonna see on sooner. if you want change, there is consequences for change or you got to me. so it's not like nearby i am defending the government or whatsoever. if they're going to develop these very please, it is not sonton or to yes. because this place is what a lot. are you getting resort is something i would take years. i did him time. i didn't. it depends on the kind of dilemma latinos, are we talking about, different medicines i do want to demolish. if they're looking at, of course,

if they're gonna develop these very place, it's has to got done because there's not to for utility nor video. 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 nigerian government can do, what african governments 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 1st. the need to be in part, definitely when you talk about the people from this place, the only perceived them to be streets, kids to cause vow list of course, news as and these things aren't intentional. so for the government to see change for the government to see progress, the need to bring this people into the system. fantastic. daniel, let's hear from you. okay, so i think governance for sure, some searching on commitments. make sure people you at 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 measured with deliberate about it? god bless you, the instrument of tax to redistribute that cannot 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 a spot. well, most likely never objected 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 thank the crew to day falls when during the same and to you our day of us. thank you for watching. ah,

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 in south africa. this is where the world's richest person ellen mosque was born. many of africa below nath live in that country. the 77 percent takes you to the impoverished ta shifts of sweat all, and the medicines in upper class. there been, we show you how young people navigate this deeply divided society where social class and ways 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 who made it hello, hello. my name is bruce c. we a welcome to my home. you 2 months ago, lucy moved into her new apartment with her daughter. besides running her own small interior decor company, she works as a marketing manager for the acknowledge company. if you have lots of plans for her life, i am saving money towards my tuition. i really want to study psychology up to a level where i obtain 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 so sweet today will she 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 devon in pennsville. so rico to go to her old neighbourhood to meet someone who has the same dream of living, the township behind oh, my name is adam or something i'm used to show and tell you more about my size. so i end up with the fast in his family to go to university, but 2 months ago he was kicked out. family could not pay the tuition anymore. now i and its back helping out as his mother's tavern, a diploma and a well paid job. now farther away than ever, i saw my boys mud like the kid to be a kid in the subject to school. he was the number one. so i think he can do it's

not fit to be given a chin so that he can, you know, because he's become what, what he wants to become and change it because of his family and makeup. is there a younger lives in a room behind the tavern? 10 percent of south africans on more than 80 percent of the country's wealth. when i under he is this numbers, he feel sick, the ro we, i grew up then i feel like like it's a press a lot for parents. they didn't get a chance to fully become who they wanted to become. reason why the environment we circle 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 can make it. ah, it's unbelievable. like it go from. people 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 will never and unless done years back to you will start seeing ourselves as people 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 hot, offer hus improved, but still big gaps remain all around a continent. the government's own continents 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 the more to kimani is screwed up into. bush asked is widely known and gulf leaves
