    You took us to another world. Very powerful! A disectomy of our reality. It's life. There is billion dollar Eko Atlantic and there is Makoko all within a twenty mile radius. Same State Revenue! Private sector vs Public sector. I would like to know if anyone from there left the community and became extremely successful .You know what I mean. I loved it. Just an amazing documentary vlog. ✔✔✔

I have studied too much about the Global economy, and systems to stand down. No! No! No! I know about the genocide in Africa. There's little morality, where lawlessness exists.

Just seeing the smile on these kids in spite of their circumstances is gut wrenching. Great work Tayo, keep it coming. It is my hope n prayer that some kind of a government implementation via infrastruture will be big boost and a tremedous upgrade to lives of makoko people and the economic impact to the state.

Full disclosure, i'm not Nigerian but from the Caribbean (one world, one love). I understand how difficult this must have been for you to personally experience this level of squalor. I believe this type of exposé can have a beneficial impact on the future of the people who live there. This is for them. This video needs to be on the T.V. with a follow-up of pictures in the newspapers. We have to shame our politicians to action, assuming they know shame.

    This reminds me of Bangkok Thailand, if things can be cleanded up, and certain things can be brought into the community, such as restrooms, a centralized floating market, even a live seafood market, lodging, cleaner air, with bigger spaces for food/snacks, and even the water ways cleaned up, even floating parks, and a way for the inhabitants to make a better living wage, it could draw so much tourism, and be a plus for Nigeria as a whole. Just saying. But there is much work to be done in Nigeria, so much potential! Could you imagine the possibilities!

I wouldn't want to change anything if the people want to keep it the same, but I honestly don't think it would take more than $5M to renovate the area. Give the area some structure, make it look uniformed. Make a water system/sewage, a trash system, and a little more solid housing that wouldn't cost the people much of anything (granted if they are paying something). And the school. ❤️❤️ Okay, maybe $10M

    • @africantruly8857

      Comparing won't solve anything. I'm sure whatever index used, may have suggested Kibera as the second largest. The people of Makoko are happy and declined change. Why? Already, its been redesigned and a master plan for green environment powered with renewable energy waiting for implementation by the government. The government tried a few times to kick start the project. But, the people protested refusing any government support. I don't blame the people, they've been burned before and lost a very large part of their lands and homes to private investors (criminals) protected by the same government who promised better living.

    One part of me is sad to see my brothers and sisters living like this. However, another part of me is impressed with how they make it work and can still smile. We have Soo much to be thankful for here in America and still complain. Big ups to the people of Makoko! Thanks for this video. I wish I could do something to help them. I'll definitely pray for them. Lord please bless them with a better experience of life. These are your people and they need you. Thank you for all you provide them with but I ask that you please transform their way of life and shine your glory on them. In the name of Yahshua

    Perhaps I see it differently but despite the good quality of production and content, I think that the quality of life of these people are not what most of us would want for ourselves if we are being honest.
    It looks “cool” when we watch from our devices in our more comfortable places and say that they are “happy” ;which is possible BUT educating them on how happier they might be if a genuine entity can work with them on reconstructing that place; health, hygiene, organized commerce, infrastructure etc all in place.
    There are other places in the world with such setting but more presentable, maybe if our government had the fore sight, turning this place into a lovely place to behold for its inhabitants, us and foreigners might just not be a terrible idea, considering it’s benefits like tourist attractions, better living condition for its inhabitants etc. Just saying.

We have more than enough to shoot up just like that IF WE WANT. We are inexcusable. We are holding ourselves down. It is bitter, but it is like medicine for the sick.

      Anichebe Amobi this is true but then with that will come unaffordable rents and the displacement of families (something similar to gentrification) if not a straight out saturation of people that feel this is the new “in thing”. How much more beneficial it would be to mobilize the wood workers and other brilliant souls in the community to rebuild themselves... from the inside out.

      C. Austin I get where you are coming from. Perhaps some subsidies, tax cuts or even good employment project could be offered to these people, meanwhile if the area is rebuilt in an attractive manner that attracts tourist, it could help with the maintenance of the area. One thing is certain, the present condition of this place is not good regardless of how the inhabitants feel about it; comfortable or not.
