I visited MAKOKO for the first time a few days ago and it was an eye opener.

Makoko is a community in ya area of Lagos state and a third of the community is made up of a floating slum where mainly Egun people from Badagry and Benin Republic live.

20 countries in Africa

10 in Europe

10 in Asia

8 in south America

2 in north America

Wow what a great adventure here.

Wow what a great adventure here.

It was a great adventure indeed.

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.

This is beautiful?


A Slum?


Houses literally built on top Gutters?


They literally live where people defecate.



A normal human can't spend a night in that pit of hell located in Lagos without developing permanent disease.

And governments is wasting money on Eko Atlantic city. Makoko should be reclaimed.

Makoko is lagoon. Atlantic city is ocean. People pay premium for ocean view and not lagoon view. It's strictly investor driven initiatives.

Why venice is so beautiful. Government should pay attention to makoko. It can actually be a beautifully place. It is not far from atlantic ocean in lagos as well

If Lagos state govt was serious Shey be they will clear this slum once and for all, instead they are pulling down structures worth billions of naira all in the name of blocking drainage, meanwhile makoko is an eyesore, environmental hazard and what not

I remember this place it's around yaba. I once had a spiritual center there, but locals almost wrecked me with begging. Women would send their teenage daughters to my house around 10pm to come and beg for money.

If not that I left, I would have been very wretched by now.

Anyways I see the Lagos State government demolishing all the shanties there and building an expensive world class estate.

This I have seen.

All I see is extreme poverty, cholera, malaria, zero health care! Nigerians are extremely poor but politicians are sharing Billions of dollars amongst themselves...

Good of you Sister.

That's good of you.

Those clowns screaming "go back to your state", na here most of them dey live

I can imagine the smell 🤮
