we had to lagos nigeria and asked people why there is such a big gap between the rich and then we meet the canyon. sartorius who uses he wants to tackle social problems later on in somali land, i'll introduce you to the country for the mil naval cup. mm . welcome back. former tea in africa is reducing. yes, all financial reforms and open economies have led to businesses and money. but his wealth is not even li distributed. now get this african 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 nigeria, commercial capital, poverty is 15 minutes a week from extreme wells. well,

come to me, go ask because the biggest city. many believe that hard walk. just anyone come make it here. that's why thousands of young people are migrating here from west africa. and around niger we asked with dreams to heat the big the result. i'm exploding population an a plus bring 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 leave here on legal. there is limited access to solicitation services, electricity, schools or even clean water. i'm just looking at this one and he has a very strong smell of you need to be decades of law now

just you mean it's that we've been seen kids leave. what came they shameed. he was born and raised in mexico. he has agreed to sure around his home this is actually i slip slip with my british. busy furniture is like, this is the this is really big, but this is, this is the gag we use for what? to take. 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 would be live also the all one is good. one might be successful. so we don't have anything disney anymore. that's not government up. did this 60 percent of legal ocean leaves in slums

and squat 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 niger areas, which all living here is about as only imaginable watching the sky. yes, that doesn't stop the sky high property 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 shell said lived on legal island, insulated by their mansions and wealth communities like michael, who just about to your heads above water. what, how long this dynamic will last? if anyone's guess, they're going to stay in muckle 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 my cuckoo 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 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 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 works for oxfam. this is the 1st time that you're here, michael. co. 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 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 through 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 parents to on know really day to keep it on even the environment . you find yourself. people are not pushing dots, a level of education in i told you the other you have thousands of children. bremner under st. snow. going to school. yeah. so i'm just up what, you know? my parents. i get that on the fight. hinuit duff la fight for me. to make sure that i degrees. vindication. right? so what you're describing, gaze, 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 mexico, but as an informal settlement as well. well, it was the experience similar to what, well, deserving 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, or might try to police 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's 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. 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 local. 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 they should develop it because the government and society, the got, the government is bent on commercializing. this is 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 $150.00, going to be more loose. and then if that upwards in 5 years you are 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 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, yeah, 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 answer in a video house because you're scared of him by tomorrow, not gonna just come on, take all of us. he so why am i doing this for the morning when i'm looking at it? if governments want him to, if i could just use what i need, what, okay, what else? social life you would. how did you want to keep surviving?

because this with washer ment. okay. then it's a fish on water. eat yet. going to take them out of where does the, where, addicted in 3. 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 but we what i know right now d, d, d, present. gov. know we have in lucas did is a very, 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's just not just an automatic thing or you get to me it's, it's, it's 6 got dropped process. so for me, i hobbled, we are 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, ah, let me, let me, let me come to henry and daniel, you're itching, talk to me, talk to me, daniel. so it is of yours that there is no sustainable plan or government that he gently on how to misplace 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 demolish, establish what we need to find a place or maybe move even in moving to people. there is no sustainable plump henry, henry, what is it? okay. what was the time? of course you got rentals are all listed as queues this trust me. and he asked y'all here, i'll give you a thought on your business cuz they're down here while ago. but again, you see, you see a committee like this is this is similar to the court area where we had like

regular plain project, lance lance, we again from the see from to what's as, why can begin this land from this what us and i handed over back to the people, and i give them access to the see when they come fish, because not boardman piracy. it becomes a power to that we're guinea for them. so i'm good for now on good. think of the big names in that you're already already 5 big below now that the comfortable spend your wealth in the lifetime and there's a community existing like this. so. so would it the good kind of wanted to hello to heaven for that out that chelsea. yeah. gotcha, gotcha. what jesse area was gonna see some sooner if you want to change that 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 ready, please, it is not sonton of to yes. because this place is what are lot. are you getting resort? is something i would take years. i just am time. isn't that it depends on the kind of dilemma latinos, are we talking about diploma in the sense that we want to demolish? if they're looking knots, if they're gonna develop these very place,

it has to go 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 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 last. first they need to be in part. definitely when you talk about the people from this place, the only perceived them to be treats 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 our progress, the need to bring this people into the system. fantastic. daniel, let's hear from you. okay, so i think women issue some search and 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 mentioned with deliberate about it. god bless you, the instrument of tax to redistribute that cannot resources. yeah. such data, the poorest 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 out into this community. so coming to such as this should be listened to, half, not all me since, and get to with them. why i good with them. i anything to them, you know exactly what feeds for between each community. okay, thank you. to our panelists, who have braved the board to come here who have braved the whether it's a stay and as 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, and it's 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 billionaires live in that country. the 77 percent takes you to the impoverished ta shifts of sweat all. and madison's 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. a black middle class however, is katie, lead rising in the past 30 years for millions, black south african household left dia, poverty for

a life of wealth and comfort notional. before in the city of dublin, we met one of the lucky few for made it hello. hello. my name is bria. welcome to my home. 2 months ago because we moved into her new apartment with her daughter. besides running her own small interior decor company, she works as a marketing manager for a technology 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 a cyclist, and this other thing, i'm for privilege to get these nice troops. the last go into my these for free while expenses paid and the previous year was in l. a. the trouble of a walk, the board, but times were 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 devon in pennsville for waco. go to her old neighborhood to meet someone who has the same dream of leaving 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, a diploma, and a well paid job. i now farther away than ever. oh, my boys, mud, legalese, i kid movie, 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 she has a big round of his family and make a better life. rancho voice is sir. i yonder lived in a room behind the tavern, 10 percent of south africans on more than 80 percent of the country as well. when i am the, he is this numbers. he filled thick. though we, i grew up and i feel like it's more 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. now we can the console fleet book and debbie and 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 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 after it. it is livery. ah ah. so i feel like this in the never and i'm less than years direct. you will start seeing ourselves as 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 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. goose ascii is widely known and gulf leaves
