This is what happens when immigrants transported by Ekene Dili Chukwu keep coming to a small state like Lagos.

They come penniless and end up living in horrible conditions like those shown on this thread.

It is time that these immigrants start ensuring that they develop their own villages, towns and cities so that it can become habitable.

To be fair, I dont think these immigrants care, they have it better living in squalor in Lekki than living in their horrible land across the east

Op the whole of Lekki was once full off ghettos & slumps not until the military administration of colonel Raji Rasaki btw 1988 to 1991 which embarked on massive demolition of illegal structures to rid the area of shanties.

For a lot of Nigerians Lagos is the epicentre of
perfection. For Lagosians their imagination
revolves around affluent neighbourhoods like Ikoyi
and Lekki, the places they consider as a paradise.
Within Lekki, however, there is a slum so horrible
it is hard to believe it can exist in a modern
metropolis.
Lekki is a top class neighbourhood no doubt. The
gargantuan houses and the serene neighbourhood
is a testament to the lifestyle you will expect
from the crème de la crème of the society. The
roads are tarred with manicured greenery by the
side. The exclusiveness of the neighbourhood is
typified by the seemingly individualistic lifestyle.
You can literally hear a pin drop as people keep
to the comfort of their fortress houses.
Ordinarily, one would assume that is what the
expensive neighbourhood of Lekki is all about
until you step into the dirt road that leads to the
other world inside Lekki. At first, one is likely to
think it is a short cut to Ajegunle, a
neighbourhood that is used as a representation of
low-class living.

The slum inside Lekki, like every low-class
environment is a crowded settlement that is a
sharp contrast to what Lekki supposedly
represents. In the slum, there is a place for
everyone who is interested in ‘’managing’’. Houses
are hastily-built constructions that represent
necessity rather than comfort.
Few of the houses have doors and the ones that
do have little assets to protect. One person’s
backyard leads to the front of another occupant’s
apartment. There is a close knitted relationship
among the dwellers that a visitor automatically
stands out like a sore thumb.
It is difficult to consider the Lekki slum a
makeshift place as there are basic facilities that
one will find in a normal settlement. There are
shops that cater for people’s needs. You’ll also
find canteens constructed with wood that look
more like storage cabins.
Hygiene is probably the last they think about
when it comes to feeding and living. There is
even a white garment church for believers. Its
proximity to the ocean is not an accident as
members of this type of churches also consider
the water and its environment worship grounds.
There is also a brothel that also doubles as a bar
that has a small banner that boasts of girls who
are good at dancing naked. Somewhere in the
place is even an innovative spring ball-like board
game named “Ogun lowo wa”, which literally
means “In Ogun, you will find money”, Ogun being
the Yoruba God of iron.
A betting game for two people, one needs to
score the highest point by clinching a higher
number than one’s opponent to win. It’s a past
time activity for the slum dwellers. There is a
reckless abandonment that permeates through
the slum. If something does not satisfy a
utilitarian purpose, it is given little or no
attention.
Survival and living through each day is the key
which is why weeds are allowed to grow
unattended to unlike the manicured flowers that
surround the affluent part of Lekki. There is no
proper drainage system so the roads serve as
waste disposal and commuting. The obvious
thought on their mind will likely be: “Of what use
is a beautiful environment when the inhabitants
are hungry?”
It is difficult to imagine what goes through the
mind of the slum dwellers knowing that their
immediate neighbours roll in abundant wealth and
live exotic lives. Whether they perceive their
neighbours with envy or resentment is unknown
or perhaps they are contented in their own small
unexciting world.
ducation”.
Unlike the slum, however, the school compound is
in a fairly good shape. According to report, the
fortune of the school changed after a Chinese
company decided to rebuild it. Now it has a
compound that can stomach any rain with its
interlocking stone. Perhaps one day when the
students reap the reward of education, they will
return to change the fortune of their humble slum
that for now, rots in the middle of plenty.
