Nobody has captured this village better than you. You are a rare Gem and evidently a blessing to humanity. Thank you Arwa and God bless you.

Oniranu.. so after the tour isonu.. while u both benefited in the content created as RUclipsrs.. what's those the community benefits from it? Osinwi.. coz she literally choose to make contents from the misery of those residents at makoko!! hope u did tell her that it's an illegal resident..
It's funny but they don't fall sick or die any how. They are just like every normal person living on land. Everyone should know that there is no government provision for people to live on water. Those people decided never to leave the water. They say it's ancestral to them. Their forefathers founded the village before Nigeria was formed and they will never relocate. Thus, they are left on their own. There is no provision for government to build roads, pipe-born water, electricity, etc in such place.
Omg!! I cant believe people are living like that. People are swimming in the water and releving themselves in the water. This condition bring tears to my eyes. What can be done to improve this situation? Smh a sad state of affair.😢
Arwa ...uweh! Mrembo uko strong ❤❤❤ You interacted with them soo well without being dramatic or judgemental. Especially the toilet and food / drink part. ❤❤
Hi Shorn. You are doing a great job. I love your videos. Your smile brings me back to watch your videos..... I never knew that kuna watu wanaishi hivi? So Kibera is much better. Following you from Kenya
Makoko is not the largest slum in Africa though, Khayelitsha in Cape Town South Africa and Kibera in Kenya top the list, with about 700k population. Makoko should be around 8th with around 250k population, but it is the largest floating slum unlike others which are basically on land. Well done Shorn, you strong.. cos as a first time visitor to Makoko you were so composed💯😊😅
@@user-wc7mz8ud8yYou obviously don't know what a failed state is. Are you justifying why some countries should have slums but Nigeria should be condemned for same?😅 Nigeria doesn't even have a slum in the top 10 list of world's largest slums, nor top 5 slums in Africa. Some of you Africans should just stop all this, we are all in same struggles in different ways
@@Media-zw5iy am Biafran and I know what am saying, compare infrastructures developments in countries like Kenya, South Africa, Namibia e,t,c and even Nigeria have bigger economy than anyvsub Sahara Africa region, but until Nigeria youths wake up demands better leadership, but for now Nigeria is failed state ,what makes a country failed state is breakdown of rules and laws. Nigeria are currently fighting wars within her territory, BokoHaram, Bandit e,t,c,no good inland roads,no electricity, unemployment at highest level, bunch of incompetent corrupted leadership. Am proud Biafran citizen.
@@user-wc7mz8ud8yyou people are just silly, you can search on Google and understand that: 1) Those people are not Nigerians, yes their ancestors move that location from Togo and Benin( cotonou) some hundred years ago and prefer to settle on water. 2)The government on many times tried to resettle them to the land but they prefer that place because its their ancestral spot and because they are majorly fishermen. But the truth is when the government is ready, they will have to leave. 3) Another reason why most of them prefer the place is because all their lives they have been living on water. They do not even pay any taxes something they can never escape if they are on land. 4) Lastly, your country will probably have a bigger slum than Nigeria even with your very small population, isn't that shameful? Ruminate on that!
Thanks Shorn for visiting this neighbourhood and your generosity is amazing, however if we as black people collectively do not clean and help each other, how do we expect us as a race of people to rise and shine, may god almighty bless us all with the spirit of ubuntu and wisdom 😇😇😇
This is the real Naija..and it should describe how Nigeria corrupt government and very rich politicians treat their citizens after collecting oil money
I am glad to see you doing this video, we have been following Makoko for years now. So many documentaries even movies have been made about Makoko over the years, yet, there has not been much changes done here. This is very sad and heartbreaking. It only shows that human beings will learn to accept the worse of conditions, if it is what they are used to. There is so much that could be said, but there are forces operating behind this, that only God can change. These are the kind of places that really needs help, instead of so many people going after fame and fortune, and bigging up themselves. This is why the rich and famous will be judged by God for what they do with their riches.

They don’t want to leave. They like it there in the water. They are fishermen and want to live in the water. It is an illegal occupation so the government is reluctant to develop the place to a better standard because they have been asked to relocate. My response is regarding “sad living in water”

Shorn, please dont eat those mandazi, you saw the lady grabbing mandazi with her bear hands ,na ndio anashika hiyo kitu ya kusukuma maji! The fish are contaminated, everything is contaminated. I feel sorry for those beautiful children. These people can't be moved to somewhere? Does this country have government?? Shorn be very careful. Wash your hands thoroughly + wipe your phone,camera with chlorox wipes!!
Sweetheart 😢😢 I grow up poor and I feel so bad about this and the kids😢😢 had me crying know way will I ever eat fish from that water are you kidding me wow wow that filthy dirty water there waste piss and everything else go in that water wow!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸💔💔😢😢😢
Shorn Arwa does president William BRUTE-O knows about this area? Tell him when he tries to raise tax next time to visit here first. Jamaicans are down with the Kenyan struggle. Love Kenya
You all just stop creating contents & exploring this makoko resident allow em live their lives in peace away from the public " there's no benefits & improvement that has directly comes to them before/after the videos" u all shoot .. have seen over a 100 different videos from contents creators btw January -june this year alone.. aside the one kai senat abi what's that his name again, it was only his that did contributeed to the residents there.. abeg this diz off me
I believe every content they make on any thing brings more awareness to the world. With time I hope soon the government will make a bold move to create a solution for this sorry problem.
@user-wc7mz8ud8y By your logic all countries that have a slum or more are failed states? cos you aren't making sense. India has the worlds largest slums, is it a failed state? Makoko and the Lagos state Govt have been at logger heads since Governor Fashola era, cos they refused to leave and allow Govt regenerate the area claiming its their ancestral home for years. It's an illegal settlement actually with the residents originating from Nigeria, Benin, and Togo as well. Some of them also speak French and Egun language.
@@Media-zw5iy Nigeria have all indicators that make her failed state ,fighting wars inside her territory with BokoHaram, fulani terrorist, no roads,no electricity, high unemployment,no public infrastructures, bunch of incompetent corrupted leadership. India may have slum,but India have much better public infrastructures. Travel around and be ashamed of Nigeria.
You have no compassion. “We should not just leave them and let live their lives in peace”. All this horror and sadness needs to be seen, heard exposed and addressed. So that the people can be helped. If it’s even just one person to be helped then the world is a better place without all this suffering and misery. Imagine if you were in their shoes. Would not your heart be troubled with the fear that there’s no hope? Therefore think twice before you make such comments. Greetings and blessings. I hope life finds you in a better place.
All you youtubers have through your lens focus on these people and nothing good has come for them. Please leave them alone. Your videos are watched all over the world. I am watching from the UK but i do not find it amusing at all. Once again leave the poor people of Makoko alone. These youtubers are very annoying.
I just lost the respect I had for her, following her family contents all these while and she chose to exploit em & gain traffic to her contents with such video.. I just unsubscribe from her page..
I dont understand why you people are mad about this video, every content creator has his or her own audience. This is the first time am coming across this slum. Our gal has no limits and we are here to travel the world together❤
seeing those children made me cry and the respect they have
Shorn. This video was rough to watch. It just give me a different perspective on life. I tell you I’m lost for words.
