Why do so many people live there? Humans are strange. Wouldn't it be better to settle in a forest or the desert? I'm baffled by people's choices.

YOU ARE NOT A TREE SO MOVE!

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.
there are slums in UAE and United States, there is no argument that indeed Asiwaju transformed Lagos from what he met and his proteges are toeing that same line.

Good afternoon, well-meaning Nigerians; I am typing this post amidst severe pain and serious hunger.

With the current hardship in our dear country, how will a poor but hardworking person like me survive?

I am confused and in trauma.

I am 30 years old and an O.LEVEL holder. I had a car accident last month and got bedridden as a result of a broken leg that I suffered in the accident.

The car accident threw me into trauma and hunger, as I am unable to go out to hustle for my daily bread as I used to do before.

As I am typing this, I have yet to eat food since yesterday morning other than the water that I have been drinking to gain some strength. This is due to the fact that I am totally broke now. I spent the last #60,000 I have on me on medication. I am in Lagos, but my parents are far back in Kwara State, Ilorin, my hometown. I am thinking of relocating back home to get better treatment, but the issue is, I still do not have the transportation fare.

Please, daddies, mummies, and my brothers and sisters on Nairaland forum, please help me; hunger is doing a very deadly work in my body.

I live at No. 26, Araromi Street, Eleko Town, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.



Below are my bank details; please have mercy on me.

Bank: OPay
Account Number:
Name: Babatunde Sikiru Yisa

May God bless you more and grant you all your heart desires as you help me.

May God turn our situation in Nigeria from its current state to a better state that will bring joy, happiness, and riches to you, me, and all Nigerians. Ameen
You were here this exact same story a year ago! So many people helped you and sent you money! So many of your monikers have been band! Is begging a job for people on NL? What a shame

There is a cultural attachment people have about a particular place and not even the promise of settling them in a well developed place will change their decision .
Get a book titled "environmental perception and human behavior by Prof. Maurice O. Ebong to learn more.

Then maybe they should stop complaining! It makes no sense to cry and tell others to fix your problems. If they love that place then they should stop disturbing people with the tears.

she might be there due to financial constraint but I was referring to the people who have lived there for ages.
There was a Governor , I think Lateef Jakande who attempted to resettle them but was resisted .
Re: VeryDarkMan Visits Makoko Community After Lady Cried Out Over Living Conditions by Hushpuppy20(m): 4:58pm On May 01, 2025
The outcry will only lead to demolition of the remaining part of the slum.

I understand, she is not the only one complaining though. I've seen so many reports on how bad people are living there. I've seen it on the BBC, Al Jazera, many international platforms. There is no land. Its a disaster waiting to happen. With global warming living in shanty house on open water is madness. I bet if they were offered asylum in the UK they'd forget about their cultural attachment 😂. Humans are weird.

You are only going to Remind LASG that they wanted to demolish the place long ago
because of the unhealthy environment

This is not a good idea

The Lagos Sanwo Olu & BAT don't want the world to see & know upon all the trillions of dollars Lagos has been earning? No workings.
