I know Kunle he stays there 60% there are Yoruba ,Ilaje, Egun and ijaw

Are you agreeing that the remaining 40% are those that dropped out of Primary School in the South East and ran to Lagos? Mind you, Eguns, Ilajes and Ijaws live permanently on Water, that is their natural habitat. So you cannot begin to shame them for living in their natural habitat while you abandoned your land locked natural habitat to contest the Waters with them

I wonder how young girls and women go about their hygiene in areas like this.. where do they dispose their 'you know what' and other sanitary items.
Lagos Government needs to model a place and relocate the residents of Makoko.

They don't want to relocate. LASG has tried in the past.
So unhealthy!

I often wonder about what the fishes around there consume. Still, many of us buy from their market. undecided

Some of them do not look poor.
Why did they choose to live there or ehy are they still there? Are the houses free?

Where do they get clean water for bathing or cooking?

Too many questions I wanna ask.




Thank you for this. I thought I was seeing wrong. They don't look poor!!!


you are seeing water and still asking where they get water from. Everything they need is there. Fish as food and water.

You need to stop thinking everybody's life is as miserable as yours. It's a serious mental infection.That you guys want to own Lagos and the owners will not let you have your way does not mean they are poor.

Yet, your people are dropping out of Primary school to come and Slave in the same Yoruba land, this should be a generationally inherited curse.

the problem with Yoruba is that they don't have quality education.....you can't support your postulation with evidences

Well....SOUTH WEST is the most educationally backward region in SOUTHERN NIGERIA even in Development...remove Lagos SW is shitty
