the w we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner check hot spot and some great culture memorial w. travel off we go, the. this is dw news in africa coming up on the program. as many canyons trade the personal data for money. their fears, they being digitally exploited kind of government steps into stuff, a mass data gathering exercise, run by a us crypto currency company. african specifically look a sounds from critics has been crypto colonialism. a phrase used to describe the use of the most vulnerable people in the wells as guinea pigs for emerging technologies. and systems. also coming up on the show with zimbabwe selections just

days away. well, president emerson went on god. well, once again, friend of the challenge from his rival nelson to me, so we explore the state of democracy in the country. and nigeria is shortage of doctors, wesson's more of them head overseas. we look at why they leaving and find out whether the grass is showing the green on. on the other side, we mentioned in nigeria so way it was we way pouring into a really getting anything back in terms of re murray. the kind of i'm told me on logical welcome to the program. kenya's government has opened a criminal investigation into the activities of a digital company that had members of the public flocking sign up for its project

world coins as it's building a kind of digital identity network. and to do that it needs people's biometric information with critics of raise questions over the safety and protection of the dates of being harvested. and frankly, whether this isn't simply something dodgy. dw correspondent edith kamani has visited well coins. biometric exercise in nairobi, a sense of this report. when world cleaned launched activities in kenya, the response seemed incomplete. sensible. long queues formed death to death registration points. a 1000 suite to, to have the irises scanned a wait to offend, to keep the identity and enable them to use the digital currency of some confidence on some part of that is good. that seems to be some level of management from the windows on the screen. you see everyone who is being given to queen standard my chatting at the center at the same time is when they, when they much at the same time. everyone says, i'm not going to slide it into market, reducing its value. however,

most of those we spoke to what he is simply for money. in kenya, the tech company was offering free digital tool can suit everyone who registered and those 2 kids could then quickly be exchanged for $49.00 at the block market. right outside the registration point. a saving grace for many will not pass. there's no money, that's the 1st thing. there's no, what people are struggling out here. the cost of living has gone up. whatever you make is just not enough. the predicts of res, concerns about the money in which consumer consent was obtained questioning, where they bought at an inducement, something well, clean denies. they use that has full control, full access to the data and full ownership of the data. and while the actually enables 0, i've tracking it to interest that to you. there's no data leakage in that you're not being trucked across multiple applications as you browse through the internet to african. specifically,

the concerns from critics has been crypto colonialism. a phrase used to describe the use of the most vulnerable people in the world of guinea pig for emerging technologies and systems. indeed, most of the people we spoke to do not understand look, changed technology or even what the data they were sharing could be used for. world grant responded to the suspension in kenya saying it would take the time to work with the authorities to boost understanding of privacy measures this event as legislators called for strong good implementation of data laws in the country that speak to bryce come any mode or a kenyan based cyber security specialist currently with myra wallet, which is also in the crypto space you joins us from nairobi, bryan, good job, you on the program. and there's been a lot of criticism of this world kline issue, but also the, we've seen the, the long queues. is this something people should be concerned about? in my own opinion,

i think people should be concerned about it because there's so many of questions that we tried to add. so when it comes to was the claim for us the fall, we only hear about was going right now by the if you get to know, like in kenya wallack or, and have the right. if i bought more than a year and a half right now, the privacy concerns i come in and this when now was going, is trying to update people on that. and it's still not clear exactly what they're trying to do with this kind of iris or the facial recognition details. the composition is saying that they want to actually have it was digital id. by the thing is we're going to use it. what are you, what are the use cases in which countries are they be great to be able to have a digital id to be used? is a government aware that'd be good to have such a digital id, how they acted as section always have to be accepted to be able to have to collect such details. those are the concerns that we have of when it comes to a lot of point in addition to that is happening. right. the, some people about friends, you know, the ones we've heard about who to and you know that doing this because they'll get

some money, treat benefit out of this, the other, some people, even among those or, or generally other people who would just say, you know, the to insignificant in the global spare itself, things and don't have to worry about the personal data because you know what, what does it matter if someone takes the data? yeah, i mean it's also look at this, this a lot of awareness that we don't have. majority of the country, let me say more than have that kind of done and that's about what privacy means or what is why the practice missed them. but you see if, if a go the right direction, if you take a fingerprint, for example, for the airport, you are actually using that because you do need those details and they have been approved by the government to be able to actually collect that detail. why? because you could be a terrorist, you could be flying to another country where you still need that fingerprints authenticate to know is you not here. if somebody is giving you could ask you to

$7000.00, we just left $40.00. nobody actually get to understand the like, look, i don't really care. look at it for me to read every have right now. look at the people who are going to lice. q for, for, was going, is not the typical person who is due to $9.00 to $5.00 is people who don't have the means on and, and, and, and given them above $4045.00 is free money. like wait, you would have ticket breach of my face or my irish just for that money. i mean, why not? i would do it so that, that became it kind of controversial allows for those things where people are not sure because dad is started privacy problem because they're not aware. and we haven't got that enough awareness on privacy issues in the country or the continental say, actually do, do we do things as a risk of this kind of thing? exploding and africa where more people's data is in mind and possibly exploited. yes, we have seen data being exploited in the past. they've had in mind in the past,

we've seen a lot of for cyber security issues where the data has been excelled, treated, we're seeing mobile networks being able to as well trade data to the countries that we're not supposed to do that i don't suppose to have the data we have seen, the organizations come and breach our data and i would data sobriety and, and be able to take our data that we don't even know what i did to with that data. we have no idea. now the thing is, this could be used for bigger projects, like for this i put this walk into the b 5 big our project that we had on our way off. that to me, they requested the anomalies. you see, it was very transparent from the very beginning. this what i've been as a thing that a year and the or 2 ago what i've been explain saying this is what you're trying to do. why is it that right now is why we trying to understand that this is for a load id? this was not the composition that was brought out at the beginning. well, kind of, as i mentioned is, is in the chris crypto sierra. i mean, you, you work with my or wallet as well as the,

the block chain and crypto theme seems to be budgeting low seems to be quite popular in, in africa, specifically why, why is that? i mean, there's so many benefits of grip. the courtesy and i think there's a lot of block chain solutions that can help to do with security. i mean, for example, right now, if i want to buy land, i have to go through so many lawyers have to go to so many people to sign a lot of documents. now with block chain, a computer code is able to actually fight for your fight. the details of my land title deed before out i'll be able to pass it up for web presence of the ada because a spot contract. if you look up payments right now, um, i mean if you go to another country like, uh, if you would be a for example, i have to swipe my, my, my debit card on almost 4 machines just to get to be able to like to make payments now if that doesn't work, it becomes very difficult to do business that it's across the payments and the like to be dealt with triple a courtesy is especially stable clients. uh, for example,

where they posted book where like to you as the see kind of help you and is regulated to the benefits of the trip the car is, is out there. they are so many other. com still, which are happening as well because a lot of awareness is not being done. and there's also a lot of people who are trying to just transition the transition of technology and, and knowledge base that you're trying to see right now. and that's something like murder, we try to do, we try to make it easier for people to be able to build on a block chain. very easy way to cause a software development at business is to be able to build on the block chain and wish you happy with to actually work with stable clients like circle you have to see to be able to make sure that transfer all assets across the of, of, of, of, of cars is, can be easy if you look at it come with this mastercard, visa, all of these people are jumping onto the block chain at technology right now. the file has to be connected to 2 um, um $2.00 to $2.00 triple courtesies. so as we can see, the financial effect, as all is really jumping on board and business dot com,

it's up to be about to raise. but we have to be really careful exactly. what we use it for. okay, brian to come anywhere with the cyber security specialist. thank you for speaking to us. a thank you so much. the zimbabwe will hold at the elections this coming wednesday up for grabs of the offices of president, members of parliament and local government counselors. there a dozen candidates vying for the top job. but the main contest is between the incumbent. president emerson and god of design. opiate party and nelson to me, so all the opposition citizens coalition for change. the run up to the vote has been defeated and a time even bloody will get some analysis in a moment. but 1st, here's the w, corresponding privilege, machinery with more on the leading presidential candidates for the day is cost for the winds diploma. the with policies will be the future from the

main to presidential candidate incumbent president. when i'm done, what presents himself is pro business and sees is government has created stability and economic opportunities the, the, the, the, a zone 70. so here's in 10 place to go. the corner we use corruption and viewed and inclusive. presumably they live soon has been described, is a divided between the old and the young generations. for the ellipse rates, it is a choice between maintaining this fits. that's cool. well embracing, they change in the off position, which they,

i'm not sure yet. many would want to see a government that was sitting around the corner. me create jobs, good health and inclusive imbecile mega is a 2 years old. he came to power of to it 2017 minutes headed quote, which tor poured a long time. who lot, rebecca will gabby? many see not what didn't change much though. and he's accused of pressing openings on the international stage. he's known for his close relationship with the russian president vladimir 14. he had recently attended, put in these after the assignments and accepted gifts, including a new presidential helicopter. no, so, and to me, so he's just 45. he's a lawyer in the pasta, but it has been politically active since he's use. he's credited with the reviving zimbabwe position of to me just please in the past few years. internationally,

some of the site is going to see that more western leaning then more non, god bless. the analysts say the lifting that is to didn't say of all the incumbents, jude, to support from staple guns like security and the judiciary, and many expect another disputed results. the contest, no. between pressed into non guard when you know, so in general, so it's likely going to be a disputed dispute is it comes or not getting will be on the opposition to prove that jim vi did not lose the election if the old position with but failed to prove it, that will mean more of the same question about was people. and many of them are struggling to say 5 in it, but we're not joined on the program by the octomom denny, and see mind from the university of johannesburg. thank you for joining us on the program. now they've been concerns in the past. over the electoral process in zimbabwe. one,

all the chances will see credible elections this time. just to full. we have the ccc, which is the citizens question of citizens condition, which is the opposition party not having access to the registration, this process, which makes me sick and leave me quite so much, you know, intimidation is special deals position for each the details, but uh uh, but, you know, across the country and even into additional uh, the 4 digit code. uh, for this post on 4 trips i'm, you know, we read this, this happened some time must be written, the most insurance i was addressing, you know, a lot of the machine and, you know, we had what he's coming through trying to chase. so we were just away from the, from the and even, you know, gus was actually drove. so you know, we have all these aspects coming up and it's to and she, yeah,

especially for them because soaks so. so what i'm getting from you is that we don't even need to, to, to look at what happens on, on wednesday to already see that the, the, the process has already skewed the state security itself by playing a major role in terms of g dates and a 5 digital participle does the reduce the radio sweet, these and much of each of the fortune. so, um, so you know, just this, this order is compatible. he's on a p as dna, which is a 5. it's in terms of intimidation. um, you know, to somebody stole touches with that in mind that has also been speculation that the incumbent m, as in non gaga, has left some some support since the last election. are we saying that that would not be enough to to present the major challenge to him in this vote in gigi is most support substitute list and this is because of, you know,

the size of the cost of reading and duration, right, continued, you know, conservation off of somebody to talk to each other and uh, you know, the basic intimidation of, uh, you know, i've talked to you this a 4 times. what was she parts the hotel? should we all see just same tactics that made it got to be quite, you know, popular individual be used by him as a m. s, and i'm not graduating this in this particular nixon to say it's a lot behind me. see you also often do visuals. only wants to occupy apollo diction, improving the life of the general population. all schools in baldwinsville. okay. talk to me, let me see mine got from the university of john his book. thank you very much. was speaking to us. nigeria is doc says a leaving the heading abroad in huge numbers in 2021. the world health organization

recorded major we, i had just for doctors for every 10000 people and already dire situation. but since then, things have lessened rapidly, and nigerian medical association now says they've only one doctor, put 10000 people and that's left hospitals. desperately short of staff, i'll say to one doctor who migrated to the u. k. in a moment, the 1st is dw flourish. bonnie who sent this report from lagos, gets the medical care in nigeria can be frustrating for everyone. as kenneth adelphia is doing the job he dreamed of. for 2 years after qualifying his thoughts abroad, where he hopes things will be better. what did he say? the son of live, you will have a you god, equally called for to solve yes, fine. at least i know i'm actually work, i'm giving up in society. but in some sites you have to really appreciate my efforts. and i see in the box, i'm being rewarded. the feeling that many medical professionals have of been over,

i walked on on the rewarded, is one of the things driving them to me in large numbers. they say the one to the system that not only pays them well, but also provides the right equipment. a sofa comes from a family of nurses and doctors. many of them leave and walk abroad. and she's planning to leave to. that had a say that's a very well, i think australia on us, somebody was crowding gets worse as health professionals leave. yes. most people seem to understand why the goal, why wouldn't they be able to get people also, you know, goals and such slides? what other we all will give you all feeling, but on the full key personality i will not want to be the people for me. um you pharmacies and yes i get into a dentist so many patients in time he's not diagnosed with at all. you don't really give your best. so your stripe goes to as much as you can board at the end of the

day is know, they appreciated, he's not the not. he's got that could be not in the environments to practice. nobody wants to leave shoals of this country to travel abroad for that. no, the country is the uh, it is hard to come by. even in private hospitals like this, we simply cons, keeps us stuff, dr. tune the o u b g was vis hospital f u p. 63, i'm says he'd like to walk less. but that a lot of stuff means he's these remain long. the size and very, very good advice on the board, you know, sees on the don't those i never when guy didn't know where to train down for a few months they are going to says the future looks bleak for young medics. in nigeria. i won't say this will come on stay. yeah,

i used to for them to go out because or decision or the country, but that should not be the case. that's even the price to 2 of his own children who are doctors. but rather than taking over from him are working in you i'm not joined by doctor or you cause a lot, samuel you, when a, a youtube influenza and a medical doctor based in the u. k. thanks for joining us on the w news africa. now can you tell us why did you decide to relocate from nigeria to the u. k? i was basically just looking for greener pastures because i believe that practice in medicine, in nature, i was just getting a bit more hostile and i just wanted to be able to write. so that was the reason i'd say to me that we've had stories from doctors and nigeria talking about long working as full pay poor working conditions. so i'm saying they even feel exploited . is that something you recognize?

show a 100 percent. um the products in mentioned in nigeria, so like it was we were pouring our hearts into it and we weren't really getting anything back in terms of renumeration or even recognition or basically just quality of life in the fall was an equal to the pool, i guess in their return, and that was just definitely a major problem. so for me, with deciding to and what's been your experience and then you can have you found that what you were looking for that i saw things as significant as the best i had. but like they said, the grass isn't always green on your side, coming to the u. k has its own problems. and when you have the pros and cons with nigeria, then this is significantly better than major. for one, i don't have to worry about my salary being teased because i know that at the end of every month,

i'm going to get my salary as long as i work. as opposed to nigeria, i was, 06 months i got the stretch which no one carrying how you're going to see your family for the 6 months and you're still supposed to show up our smile and be happy, well being hungry. and i knew that this was something i'm going to do within the u . j. so that alone is already well to pop. and that trend is still is still going on. people like yourself still leaving nigeria and heading abroad. but what would it take for someone like yourself who's, who's made this big move to go back to nigeria? what would convince you to, to make the move back as if i'm 1000 percent? sure. that when i get, when i work, i'm going to get paid as a, when do i find 1000? does it show that my salary is going to be the same salary that's going to afford me decent life?

and i'm also 1000 percent. sure that my life and my family's life and security is increased to jeopardize that i'm more than happy to move back home. because recently there was a story on the girl in the news was the medical doctor who died be because of negligence. she fell down a flight, so from destiny, so that wasn't working and she died. and that wouldn't typically happen in develop worlds. i'm sending a letter saying that i'm said, so when i see that my life and the life of my family is in a risk because nigeria has its way of doing things. so ultimately, i mean just puts everybody else that risk. oh, you talk about it and i do as a whole and you're even talking about 1000 percent of the needing to be to be convinced of that shows that you still have a lot of doubt what's what's it looking like? not just for doctors, but even for other people in other professions, do you,

do you see that other people making similar moves like yourself? so yeah, i have a friend who just looks kind of like 2 weeks ago and she's not a doctor. she's a lawyer. and she was doing pretty well in nigeria, but then again, you have to look at the whole thing just so small. just about money is also about security and what not just talking about google her. um, in terms of mentors and we're talking about data, data security, which is something that i seriously lagging nigeria. so that's why a lot of people, bessie jumped on movements at the moment that everyone's looking to move out of the country. visa factors that influence that decision, basic change. all right, let's good to hear your thoughts on this. very good to speak to you, doctor, or you can console out samuel, you one day. thanks for your time. thank you. or for that's it for now. be sure to check out the other story is got lots of content on d, w dot com,
