we had to lagos nigeria and asked me for why there is such a big gap between the rich and and then we meet occasion sartorius. we uses you want to tackle social problems later on in somali land, i'll introduce you to the country for the mill naval captain. mm . welcome back. former t in africa is reducing. yes, all financial reforms and opening economies have led to businesses and money. but his wealth is not evenly distributed. now get this africa as 3 wealthy as below ness have more money than the bottom. 50 percent of africans combined. and nowhere is this disparity more evident than in legos herron night. u. s. commercial capital poverty is 15 minutes. a week from extreme wealth.

well come to me, go ask because the biggest city many believe that's hard was just anyone come make it here. that's why thousands of young people are migrating here from west africa and around i. jerry asked with dreams the he's the big, the result i'm floating population on the screen. economy was 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 live here on legal. there is limited access to salutation services, electricity schools or even clean water. i'm just looking at this one 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 yeah, please. what came they shameed. he was born and raised in mexico. he has agreed to sure around his home this is actually i slept, i slipped with my breast. busy furniture is like, this is just, this is really big, but this is, this is the good news for what to take a what i say in this community. we believe you know, believe my money. but every, every minute from the hud and i to 11 through them will be live also the all one is good. one might be successful. so we don't have anything disney anymore. that's not a government. i'll do this for 60 percent of legal ocean leave in slums. and course

our communities, many informal settlements, also risk demolition as the government expands the city. but just a 15 minute drive from micro legal island. most nigeria and celebrities, and 1000000000 is called the school for the vast majority of young 9 areas which all living here is about as unimaginable touching the sky. yet that doesn't stop the sky. high purpose, the prices illegal score lead poverty and only imaginable will exist. we've been driving defense. what's economists worry, the bubble of wealth and ready c, p cannot last. such inequality could was seen insecurity and leave 1000 inefficient cycle of poverty. when people are poor, to pull them out of that 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 to your heads above water. what, how long this dynamic will last? if anyone's guess, they're going to stay in michael for a little longer. this informal settlement started a sufficient 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 1st 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 came on you find out. and this week's version of our street debate. ah,

hello and welcome back to the 7 to 7 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 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 swap 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 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, in 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 say it's a privilege. yeah, it's

a privilege in the sense that i had to, you know, try as much as was you linda, by the do yes. going with parents difference. i to get that and definitely do really want to push you to do more, more in, in a scenario by your appearance to are normally very dictated on even the environment . you find yourself. people are not pushing dots, a level of education. and i told you the other you have thousands of children. bremner understood which no going to school. yeah. so i'm just up what, you know, my parents, i get that and the fight. he knew the la fight for me to make sure that i degrees. vindication. 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 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 least 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 our 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 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, 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 able to for government are supposed to get there for the needs of people living is going to speak for to take care of their dear you so much greeting so much. are 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 luck. all right, one me,

it had something to say to me and then henry all gets, and what's daniel, i say this is like this. i'm going to go of not because the government goes on with that issue developing my because the government and society, the got, the government is bent on commercializing. this is like this. so this is like these items slide by to government and from right that they have sold disappears to some government officials on that in 2 years this, this is 115 going to be more loose. and then if that up once in 5 years, you're going to see it fancy sta, pierre. that is going to be sold them rich people that are buying the sim assets that we have in nigeria. okay. let me ask henry, because having 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, now to go my just corman take all of us who is 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 he, what, okay, what has social life with, how did you want to keep surviving?

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 richest person ellen mosque was born. many of africa below nasa live in the country. the 77 percent takes you to the impoverished ta shifts of sweat all, and the medicines in the upper class there been. we 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. a black middle class however, is 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, my name is bria. 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 who she has lots of plans for her life. and i'm 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 as i color just and this other thing. i'm so privilege to get these nice troops velasco into mo, these for free, all expenses paid. and the previous year was in l. a. the trouble of a walk rewards but times one not only to 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 devon in pennsville. so rico, go to how old neighborhood to meet someone who has the same dream of living. the township behind my name is adam or something goes wrong. so i'm here to show and tell you more about myself. so i end up with the fact 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 it's back helping out his mother's tavern, a diploma, and a well paid job. i've now farther away than ever i saw my boys mud like the kid to be of a kid damaged in the subject to school. he was the number one so i think he can do

is not fit to be given a chance that he can, you know, because doing it become what, what he wants to become intrinsic and make up is is there a younger lives in a room behind the tavern, 10 percent of south africans on more than 80 percent of the country as well. when i under here this numbers, he feel sick. the row we, i grew up then i feel like more 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 slee book in dublin. lucy takes her daughter to the beach. a year ago, lucy fulfilled a life dream and what 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 after it, it is livery. ah ah. so i feel like this in the never. and i'm less than years back to will start seeing ourselves 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 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 team ought 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 bear break more comment. boundaries and focus assures and skiffs on social issues affecting kenyans. yeah. c c commendable need good. one of the 2 greatest emotional that human beings have that he's crying and laugh. i yeah. so i think committee for me because it's all good to meet someone. how he may be kimani was born to entertain. numerous and you, by his adoring funds, the 30 year old son of a clergyman, new racing. the state was his life calling. i thought to arizona after 1st making a name for himself and tv, be jewish, migrated to social media. and boy, is he successful? with more than 500000 youtube subscribers and an estimated to when 3000000

instagram followers, it's easy to see why most of his content was viral. just close your eyes. ok. with much off of auto q. you're funny. just close your eyes and meditates. but that doesn't mean he's above making jokes about the social media, korea. me. the comedian also doubled in satire from the high cost of living to power cuts to poorly run hospitals. nothing is off limits for the versatile showman. my government is willing to take this joke too far to make you see the primary affordable. often his characters are ordinary canyons who draw a light hearted look on his. the issues on is the key victim. he is the form to love persona, your to butter. garvey cannon, attend canyon's at tad. it's about 10. somebody started talking. it starts with one person. if it's jonah, who's going to sat with it, let's do it. we need to hear this thing. come, i mean,
