In this powerful video, VDM takes a heartfelt trip to Makoko, one of Nigeria's most underprivileged communities, following a passionate plea from a concerned lady who cried out for help. What we witnessed was beyond words — a stark reminder of the harsh realities many face daily. 🏚️ Makoko, often referred to as the “Venice of Africa,” is a floating slum in Lagos where thousands live without access to clean water, proper sanitation, or basic infrastructure. 💔 The emotional outcry from a local woman moved VDM to action — and this visit sheds light on the community's struggles, resilience, and hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUoTB1mejCk 3 Likes

Lies from the pit of South East hell. This makoko is not in Lagos but in Vietnam. Tilimbu has built Lagos kpochim and sand-filled the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific ocean. How dare you say this is in Lagos. 126 Likes 7 Shares |

The emotional outcry only calls for demolition of the place Lagos already begins sand filling that will eventually leads to removal of the slum 13 Likes 2 Shares |

This place has been like this since I was born...! So many regimes and administrations, yet none cared to look into that shameful display and anomaly. If they won't turn that place around, they should demolish it and relocate everyone from there. 10 Likes |

Do not always feel sorry for the poor. You can but not always. Not until you proper observe them. Dont worry many of them are not dieing as you think they rather well adapted. What will break you may make them laugh. They may be scarily well fortifield by suffering. Some can read you in a heartbeat and easily manipulate you if they sense you easily move by compassion. If you really want to help them you will first have to spend time with them and watch their development. Some have dark habits they just can't break away from and its holding them back. Other lack opportunity even with talents. The environment you may say limites them, ..only then can you really know when or how to approach help. Any other money donations are blind help. It may lead nowhere. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

COMRADES are speechless, not long ago with their usual propaganda, they told us that Lagos is worth billions of dollars, then why that part of the state is dirtier than any part of Nigeria? Also this is the same Lagos that they lied to us that Tinubu turned into Dubai overnight What a shame! 2 Likes |

Biodun556:Oh yes let’s sand-fill it to hide the problem so it doesn’t embarrass us. No need to relocate and resettle the inhabitants. Let’s not address the root problem being poverty and housing deficit. Let’s reclaim the land so we can sell it as lagoon view for 100m each. 2 Likes |
