Kolababe:
Most of you have heard different tales about the notorious Bariga. Here are photos from a part of the area. This side is the Araromi street side of Bariga which is dominated by the 'Ilajes' and the 'Eguns' and their most popular occupation there is fishing because the area faces the ocean around the Third Mainland Bridge.


Here, there is extreme poverty, as in E-X-T-R-E-M-E P-O-V-E-R-T-Y. Most of the women roast fish to survive, many of the ladies and guys take to all types of vices. There is only one school in the area(pictured below) provided by a white man who visited the area sometime ago. Yet, there are all sorts of talents in there. From rapping to dancing, the youths of the Barigahood possess them in abundants.

But it looks like government sees the people in this slum as outcasts because development is far away from that area, yet it's in a Mega City called Lagos. Past government rather than contributing to developing the area, visit some parts to destroy houses and render many homeless
Thus, the people have come to develop a deep hatred for the word 'government'.

Meanwhile, the guys and babes in this hood no dey smile at all O and their eyes dey red die! (if you know what we mean)

This type of ghetto is called "Banana Island"

darkenedrebel:
Olamide didn't grow up here jare. He grew up around Ladi-Lak/Shomolu(which is far from being a slum)
What's will all these ignorant Gonzo journalism.

Bariga is very large, and not all parts are slums. Stop misleading the public.

mart2k:
'Mosquitoes island'

Atlantian:
Lagos na dustbin.

grandstar:
Ladilak is a working class neighbourhood. I won't term it a slum per se but a run down neighbourhood with some dangerous driving because of, the curvyness of the road.

Kolababe:
this is not a street, but a large community inside Bariga with different zones and each one having a leader called "Baale"

GodMode:


The govt is meant to demolish the whole slum... Including makoko..
