I can’t imagine what and how it feels like living there😢 Markets on boats, school built on water, like how have they been surviving! This moved me to almost tearing up knowing how blessed I am and how I’m not thankful enough. This is content Tayo💛 thank you for all you do!!
Me too!😢😢😢😢😢
Its deep mehn. They don't have it easy at all. I'm humbled. Thanks a lot Dyna!
@@TayoAinaFilms tayo always remember to tell people to suscribe
Wow ,thank you Dyna Ekwueme you also made me realize i'm not thankful enough.Yes,these people's lives are tough yet some got smiles on their faces even with so little.
Mehn my question is even hoe did they build the residential huts on water??? This is makes us be grateful for what we have
Just look the way the kids are so happy, they’re happy regardless of the way they’re living. Honestly happiness is free
So true
Olamide Antonio And I have kids that have a beautiful home, clothes & plenty of food & to they are so damnnnn ungrateful 😤😤😤😤😭😭😭😭😭
@@ivoryfyall3548 I observed something weird, the more you posses the less you feel happy... Happiness is an inside job and material things give you many reasons to be worried
Olamide Antonio this is something the great human beings that walked the earth thousands of years ago, our spiritual teachers like Jesus, Buddha, ancient Egypt etc knew but modern world has forgotten 😪
Olamide Antonio Yes Na
That's actually their reality ...
This is sad. Africa has had crooked governments for too long. People DESERVE BETTER.
The west has alot to do with it too, USA, FRANCE, ISREAL, UK , IMF WORLD BANK AND MORE. Don't scapegoat the victims now.
Anarchy is ugly; tyrant tribal war lords putting guns into the hands of children? Come on... Get off it! These thugs hoard the aid given to them, and let their people starve. 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. I am not fond of third world strong man culture. #studyplease The only way out for any human is through education. This conversation is over.
They are getting somewhere. Go look at the riches of Africa. I know you guys don’t do that.
This is not sad to them, this is life and they are happy, its actually cool but need massive cleaning and modern plumbing the place would be wonderful to live
Lost my respect for this gov
Mehn watching this just humbled me totally. We have to be grateful for every lil thing we have mehnn good or bad . I have tears in my eyes
An Award-winning vlog .Africans telling their own story without being patronizing.
You just blow my mind, as you push the limits of your comfort zone all the time!
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. ✔✔✔
Doreen Onekalit thank you. I appreciate this !!
@@TayoAinaFilms You are welcome. When are you going to give us the Historic City of Kano Nigeria. I don't think anything has been done since colonial times. Onisha Market too would be nice.
@@kirstenjohnson_ Wow! Thanks. This video ranks in my top 3 Uploads published by Him. Phenomenal Guy.
That floating slum has so much potential if the government invests in it. It really could be a wonder.
If the government invests in cleaning it out and developing it, the cost of living would increase and the old residents won’t be able to afford it
@@somikellyomomia5359 your absolutely right unless they make a point to keep it affordable for the people staying their now .
Sorry to disagree but I see no potential in this ,with global warming I see a natural disaster waiting to happen
@@Veritas24 so you believe that we can travel to the bottom of the ocean, iss, . Live in deserts Antarctica, forest, build man made islands. But we can't innovate how to live in a existing town.
cesar brown I’m not saying it’s impossible but knowing how our african leaders are careless and no plan for the future I don’t see that happening in near future
How come this guy doesn't have 1 million subs AT LEAST.
The quality of these videos is Huuuuge!
Man sounds like he could do videos for documentary channels or something
Carlos DeRozan THANK YOU!
Carlos DeRozan Agreed. This guy has a natural voice that is a talent, a gift from God. You must be born with it. I hope he gets picked up by a major channel. The videos really are produced, and edited well.
I AGREE!!
It’s the first time I’m watching this channel and that’s exactly what i thought , he could make beautiful documentaries about African lives from an African perspective, not these propaganda documentaries that fit the narrative of the western world’s view of Africa.
I agree, it quality
Oh no not the “Venice” of Lagos😞 God bless the people. The whole of Africa deserves to have the flyest of everything given all its resources.
LadyMsThing Green if only leaders where not selling us out!
Bruh imagine fixing those houses, making them stronger and painting them with bright colors that they can be seen from the island. There's a big tourism potential for the community imo
We are on the same wavelength man. I just thought about this today! Awesome one man!
@@TayoAinaFilms yeah bro. I just pray it's done one day.
TayoAinaFilms discuss it with the new Governor. Get an architect and see what could be done to maintain the concept already there but making it cleaner and more colorful
That plan has already been done a prototype for the new green water houses was built by the UN but it will require gradual implementation but the question is are our leaders and are we the Nigerians ready to love ourselves do what is right aswell as the needful until we stop submerging ourselves Makoko isn’t changing anytime soon
The design was a self sustainable duplex floating house powered by renewable energy
I viewed Makoko from the bridge when I visited Lagos. I thought it was fascinating that an entire community could exist on water. Being careful not to take my American mindset and applying it to what I witnessed, help me to see the strength and tenacity of the people. Awesome video. Thank you for taking me inside Makoko.

Beautiful, love how captured it.
Is nobody going to talk about the sewage system....
My thoughts exactly. 👍👍👍
I'm thinking outhouse situation here
The point of placing housing over water is to utilize the hole in the floor system,it is not just to enjoy boating.
The sewage is right there Clutch. The water is the sewage
So disgusting, I was thinking the same thing.
you were born to be behind the lenses..the way you capture images and the way you let your subjects speak to the viewers is epic. I look forward to you making full length documentaries. Thanks for blessing us with your talent

Tourism can.come watch our cesspool is the answer
Indeed very pwerful documentary. As proud a nigerian that i am, just imagine the volume of economic impact it could make in lagos state given the right infrasructure with adequate sanitary system. Happiness has no price. 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.
💐”Venice” is famous for its floating city, it brings in millions of pounds and tourists. If the government helped the people invest in the area. The people living there could become very rich and have much better living conditions. 💐
The government???? 😂. That’s why they are in that mess. They need less government.
Who???? Who is that..... don't appear there is a go.v.....
I love these videos about Nigeria 🇳🇬 it’s so beautiful to see different faces of Nigeria. Your doing such a good Job showing us all these different parts to Nigeria, we appreciate it 😊
Send him money to his PayPal he already blessed.
Lagos...
Very dirty place.
Manuel Svensson what about if you were born there what will you do,remember you are lucky ,you can’t predict the future,be grateful
@@georgesings1235 I agree with you, but we also have to understand that is not soo much about being lucky, but what our ancestors did for us to have a this. I'm not blaming anyone, but it is more about a cultural problem. The worst part, is when people '' lucky'' enough to emigrate to improve their lives, just criticise and resent our countries.

Hey Phrankleen !
This is so wrong , people should not have to live like this anyhow .
you are pathetic if you think anything is WELL about this. and what's up with the brown hands? is that suppose to be like a black BARBIE OR GI JOE
LMAO where do you find those stupid little black hands? I can't find them. apparently yellow hands aren't good enough for a racist
The hustle & grind is so real... Life is multidimensional... From the silverware's of Banana Island to the murky waters of makoko... What a life... #a life of gratitude... Someone somewhere aspires to be like you.
I cannot imagine when it’s rains at mokoko.
I was thinking of mosquitoes
I have a passion for Engineering and I have always loved this Bridge because of its history and how it connects people. Thank you for this educational documentary.

Thanks you Tayo Aina, clearly you read your subscribers comments. I requested this exposé of Makoko, based on a photograph I saw of the area. 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.
There was a documentary of this place on CNN awhile ago.
What you are saying makes sense, but if the govt steps in they might chase the people away without helping them. They might end up in a worst predicament.
Representing South Africa: this is the third time I look at your channel and I have to be honest your content is legit on point every video you shot makes us feel like we are there experiencing the whole thing with you keep up the great work my brother let us tell our own story to the world and not the other way around all the way from South Africa I'm proud to have a Nigerian brother that tells the story of Africa to the world🇳🇬🇳🇬🇸🇳🇿🇦🇰🇪🇮🇳🇬🇭

This video is the purest form of “ truth” . The circumstances might not be beautiful but there’s something that’s unexplainably breathtaking about this place ....better yet serene .
You are indeed TayoAinaFilms. Beautifully shot!
GlobalCitizen113 ' yes I agree it was definitely beautifully shot at the purest form of truth.

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!
Hey Stopthat yes sure, but when you have no money and resources
People have 2 clean up their minds through proper education and only then can this be reflected in the environment. If they are already aware of the ramifications of having poor sanitary disposal then there is not much you or me can do to change them.
Bangkok is incredibly wealthy city. Very modern with a robust economy. Thailand is probably the top tourist destination in the world. No comparison im sorry
@@bretdouglas9407 were not comparing cities, we're speaking on the potential we see in our Nigeria. It may not be comparable in your perspective, but it could be. And maybe you guys dont see the potential, but I can. And there are resources, but the government is corrupt, theres plenty of money moving through it's just that the economy and Government need a major overhaul, but the foundation, the idea is there. Diggie B. The wet market isn't a slum, obviously you haven't visited Bangkok because if you have, you'd know it's a market. And you you have maybe you should get your nose out the air and actually see what is going on instead of being stuck up....or just not go. Apul Mahdeek Aoud it can happen but there needs to be some big changes. If you don't imagine, believe, and act then nothing can change.
Hey Stopthat I wish only the best for Nigeria.And much happiness and success in the future.
It’s quite amazing when you see a video like this and it dawns on you, no matter the situation you find yourself just live your life cause there’s a tendency you have it better than someone else.
Amidst the harsh conditions, I saw Love, Community and a Togetherness I don't see everday.
Peace. 😊

I have seen slums, i have visited some of them and I recently visited Kibera Slum in Nairobi which a lot of people say is the second biggest in Africa after Soweto. i can conclude that the people in Kibera are living a life that is 50 times better than this. There is a video i did there coming up on my channel soon. I never thought people could live this way. I guess the people of Makoko will still wake up and vote a leader who will promise to improve their lives.
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. Watch the video again, you will see tree loggers, these people have become powerful and they weren't included in the master plan, meaning they would have to move elsewhere.
@@africantruly8857 wow.. I thought it was a case of the government giving a blind eye. Actually there have been cases where the government gets better housing for slum dwellers but end up renting them and move to the slum again
@@AFRICANTIGRESS You completely right. Also, many governors of that state, have tried to improve living conditions and redesigned the slum but, implementation has been the biggest problem. The people don't want any change due to affordability and trust. The tree loggers have become too powerful and refuse to move their businesses elsewhere.
Having been to Lagos myself for all the poverty they have ,the people are great always smiling laughing and happy friendly. I loved it there this brought back memories x
Woow,the look on their faces is priceless ,😍😍😍😍 Makoko is a Swahili word too. So fascinating . Thank you Tayo for showing us around,Nigeria is a must to visit. Much love from Kenya
yes thnks
That is what the politician think, easy for them while they have a nice house
Watching this made me so emotional! There is such a high spirit there! I appreciate that soooo much! My God bless the people of Makoko! 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

Great content bro as a South African you have revealed the dire state of our fellow brothers and sisters across the continent not just in Nigeria, your vlogs are tools to spark change in our mindsets towards each other as African. Keep it up Tayo🇿🇦🇳🇬
I've been here as a child and it's very very similar to the slums of ajegunle water side called jmj. One thing for sure is you can find the most liveliest and kind hearted people here...its the part of Lagos that we see but dont want to see 😩😩
These are just videos you watch and wanna cry but can’t actually help it but shed tears. 😭
Very insightful and I enjoyed the content. Reminds me of my Boat ride in India. We need to realise and accept that some people prefer to live on water and enjoy it. Forget about the squalor. Living on water does not necessarily mean poverty😄 They earn their living, fishing or through Tourism and prefer to live on water.
I think you right. The government tried a few times to have it rebuilt, cleaned and planned. 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.
When you said the air was half full of smoke, and I saw all the little ones running around, oblivious to the poverty, I just started crying..these kids are the future 🙏🙏🙏God , I pray the selfishness of man wears off and that we ALL help our fellow man . Great documentary.

The village touched my heart years back, it's fascinating, heartbreaking but people there have big hearts, quite positive and surviving in that area. Went to attend Sunday fish market
You made me see the slum as a peaceful and happy place because of your creativity and shooting skills.
Beautiful documentary. I've been hearing a lot about this place, you did a great job as always.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate this!
I’m Cameroonian and i have been watching a lot of your videos and this one just left me in tears for a minute I had to pause the video and just say a little thank you prayer i look at how hard it could be for this people to live and yet they survive and I realize I have little or nothing to complain about
A good number of folks living in this makoko actually migrated from benin republic...forming a tribe known as "egun"..if I'm not mistaking...
I do know the Makoko people speak Egun but I don't know if they are from Benin Republic.
Wow this is wonderful. Hopefully now a more indepth video will be made of these people heritage and connections back to Benin and how they united to form Egun.
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
TayoAinaFilms You never fail to deliver. In ten short minutes, you managed to show the humanity, dignity and genius of the inhabitants of this so called slum. Somehow, even managing to romanticise the neighboorhood and leaving the viewer with a desire to pay a visit. How do you do it? Through your eyes I love Lagos, the city of my birth. ❤👌
Belinda Belinda thanks for watching. 🙏🏾Appreciate your comment !!!

I am in awe of words. Firstly, this video was shot beautifully! Every angle gave a perspective and told a snapshot of a story. Secondly, this really opened my eyes to see how truly blessed I am. This is a reminder to not take things for granted. Keep doing your thing, Mr. Tayo!
The cinematography and commentary on this are impressive. A lesson on how to present unique human experiences to the world.

Well done. You are serving the world by sharing what the more fortunate will never see, nor want to see.
There is great value in the human spirit in Makoko and there is a way to allow these people to prosper--it's time to find that way.
AHH THE COMMUNITY ON WATER! WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE GOING IN THERE! WE SHOULD DO A CHALLENGE IN THIS PLACE!!!

I’m in love ! I feel this place is calling me . It’s not about luxury living but quality of spirits living there .

You are such an amazing storyteller. This video gave me mixed feelings as I enjoyed the stabilized shots of you moving through the corridors, I was amused by how much people go through to earn a living through a floating market plus the effort the school made to put a playground for the children over water but I know that it's from such humble beginnings that we are built & molded to be greater people when we realize our potential.
Indeed life is full of dimensions and we can only witness what we have seen. Thanks for sharing this dimension.

Tayo s vloggs are goint to promote so much tourismn and positives for nigeria
Those people need help from us
We must stop 🛑 giving money 💰 to the pastor and the imam
Yu perfectly right bro let help them
..
Fakoli Kroma Amen.
Nigeria should do what Rwanda did with fraudulent Pastors And Imams, religious leaders should hold degrees, those 20yr old prophets need to be arrested, the poor would save $, and donations should be facilitated towards the extremely poor such as these people!
Pastors has nothing to do with this.there are pastors in u.s, in Canada, in Australia. If you want to help the needy, help bro. God bless you.
True! But guess what? These are the very people who give their little money to the so-called man-of-God, in hope that the fake miracles of the latter will help them out of godforsaken condition. Ironic, isn't It?
God!!!! all I can think about is the never ending mosquito 🦟 bites😢 the kids are the true definition of contentment!!! So happy yet so hopeful. This is the content we subscribed for!Tayo you’re amazing!!!!
This is amazing content Tayo. I mean i know of Makoko but i dont think i have really gotten any in depth view of the area like this. Thanks for all you do!
CRYSTAL MADUKA thanks for watching 😊
Makoko! This is Premium Documentary content right here. Great job man! The 6:24-6:50 shots were super amazing!!!
Amazing work Tayo. I have never been to Makoko but I've wondered what life was like there. Thanks for sharing this great piece of work. Your story telling was also on point. Keep the videos coming!
Love love love ❤️ thank you for taking the time to create this documentary 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Hi Brother ! My first reaction was ....OOOHHHH ..... Tayo did a video about makoko... let me see this, i was kind of shocked and so impatient to see...Well really nice one, you nailed it ! I liked the way you created that video about Makoko. You took inspiration from some existing work, I guess you saw the video i did few months earlier, then even went deeper to create a real doc well organized and well documented ! Congratulation for that very beautiful and interesting work !
Ludo Liu ,this is just like your own video of Makoko.
Ludo Liu thanks man. Yeah, I saw your video and a couple others. Nice shots you got there !Also read articles about the place and spoke to locals. Thanks again. Appreciate you watching!
This location is a goldmine, Nigeria is not ready for greatness.
Bro God bless you for this video. I’m doing my architecture thesis and I am researching thing settlement. And this video help me see a deeper view
Mannequin I’m happy about that. Thanks for watching!!
Fantastic Documentary, truly a humbling experience, especially what we take for granted, very few in the 🌍 know how privileged they truly are!
Tayo I'm impressed... All I can say is keep it up... We are waiting for National Geographic channel to call you for a documentary... Is it the iPhone 11 pro Max you used to take videos??
Haha. Thanks a lot for this. Appreciate you. I used an IPhone 7 Plus and a 5D mark 4
This video made me tear up. I pray the people that live here are safe and healthy 😔🙏🏾🙏🏾. Can’t even imagine staying here , living on water is so dangerous especially when the tides rise

Charleyyyy Ghana guy wey go talk say e dey hustle, I will tell that person to stay here for a week. Naija people! I hail una o. Na the real hustle be this...
I'm so fascinated by how they built those houses in water, the technical work is magnificent.
The resilience of those people remarkable .They have created an city out of most meager means ,with economic opportunity and schools. I wonder if there is a hospital and a police station .I would like for them to clean up thier community, maybe add a sanitation department. The people look confertable with thier surrounding, but can you imagine the kind of city this would be with the rite resources. Bless them all for what they have done with what they had to work with .

I can't tell you how many times I have watched this, as a former built-environment sector specialist in the informal economy! I am left in awe of human ingenuity and their will to not just survive but thrive!
A former practitioner than a specialist, the informal workers are of course the specialists' at thriving in spite of their misfortune!
Watching this got me teary and sad, how do they cope? My God the living condition here is sad. Tayo i must say a big thank you for this content, i have never seen makoko like this. OMG i am heart broken

Place just like Nzulenzu in Ghana. How I wish beneath those floating houses were no waste polythene bags. Great people. Much love from Ghana
Where do they use the toilet???😰 And where do they get drinking water😭😭😭My GOD it breaks my heart😭😭😭😭😭
Why bro
This is amazing, kind of surreal, great job documenting the Makoko life style. Lagos has so many faces, Jah know!
And then ppl are talking about kibera slums This is a very big documentary 💖

Not much has changed since four years ago🥺😢. Love and light to them all. Welldone, Tayo💯
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.
@S C
I agree , Black people deserve better . I am US born and it seems that we have been taught to struggle in some of the worst conditions and accept it as normal as human beings . Here , I have heard it described as 'making the best of a bad situation' ...
@@jacksonernie484 black people can only develop faster when they accept that they are not up to par in the world stage, learn from others and build without even having to hate on them. 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.
True, I don't like living in this kind of life, surrounded by garbage everywhere only because even cleaning the area can be difficult because water is everywhere, I think no happiness here
Very nicely shot. I loved long shots of canals and streets. Would love to see more of videos like this!
if were to shoot a film in Nigeria that would be a location I would choose - why ? its unique
its visually rich
to me this your best your work yet ........
I know you being sarcastic. Anyway, the government tried a few times to have it rebuilt, cleaned and planned. Already, there is a master plan to make the environment green and powered with renewable energy. Its on RUclips what the new plan would look like. 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. Also, watch the video again, you would see the tree loggers, these people have become powerful, they weren't included in the master plan and declined to move.
Wow! Thank you so much for this documentary! I did a "music video" a week ago on psalm 42 and used stock video footage of makoko to put it together. Needless to say the short video clips available aroused my curiosity about the community. your documentary does a great job of giving an objective view of the community.
Pls forgive me lord for the ways i have been ungrateful in my past yrs
I went there to volunteer and it was so beautiful, from the people, the food and their homes. We have to be grateful for what we have!!
Superb work. You are really moving great and keep it up
Thanks for watching. Appreciate this !
Its amazing the amount of work you put into this one video. Well done. May God bless your hustle
Great video, by chance were u the guide for the world traveler Drew Binsky?
Yes he was. I just watched that video of Drew in Lagos
Oh thank you for Sharing this part of Nigeria 💖☺️, they're truly creative and really making means for prosperity and success.
The only thing he didn’t do was to interview the locals which would have given an important piece of information to the activities around the place and not just from his perspective
It doesn't matter at this point...
Despite the advice they give, the system wouldn't do anything about it
Exactly what I thought 💭
That's a thoughtful advice
this was really good. A geography lesson brought me here and now i know about the hard struggle in my country
Why did you make me cry? as a grown up man 😢
Their sense of community looks so beautiful.
saw this place on harmonise song,was very curious where is this place exactly,thank you for the informative video,kenya here
Thanks for watching! Appreciate you!
4:36 men our boy is almost crying. It must be heart wrenching to be actually there and feel the pain
