Homeless in Lagos: Why I sleep under a bridge - BBC Africa

  • Under the bridges. In doorways. On street corners. You don't have to look too hard to see that homelessness is a big problem in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos.
    Amnesty International suggests that more than 30,000 have been forcibly evicted from settlements, and a further 300,000 are under threat.
    Many flee to Lagos after being displaced by Boko Haram in the north-east of the country.
    We spent a day with Godwin who came to Lagos to look for a better life, but found himself sleeping under a flyover in the city.
    Video Journalists: Joshua Akinyemi and Mariam Koné.

      Because most documentaries by foreign media are dramatized to capture the moment that best portray the agenda they want to propagate. It's not really to help those guys, it's to pass messages as instructed by their high ups.

      @@Relevance4life I do not believe thats always the case. BBC AFRICA also covers very positive things. you cannot only show one side of societies. the mistake here is they did not set up a way for viewers to donate if they choose. i feel very bad for the old man, if there were cameras and a way to hold the driver accountable like in the US laws against hit & runs, he would have disability income, some basic healthcare for the initial injuries received, and he'd qualify for senior/disabled housing, foodstamps etc. There would be a lawsuit for the man who hit him and was operating the transportation service and he'd be jailed. Things are unfair

      This is a dangerous way of thinking, tho, bc if you always have to claim you're doing fine & well only bc other people have it worse than you, then you'll never have 'license' to feel your own feelings if they're negative. And you do have a right to feel negative feelings, bc everyone does, no matter how fortunate. So, you can complain about your life when you need to, no worries.

    Housing in the country has become so expensive even for those earning monthly wages, 50K can't do anything these days. We urgently need creative and AFFORDABLE housing solutions for these people and they should be given priority. A bridge is no place for a person to sleep. With more than half of the country's population under 30 years of age the lack of job opportunities for self-sustenance is just so frustrating.

God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +23408112566927) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.......

    The first guy said he went to school yet no job. Many final year students think they're gonna find it easy getting a job not knowing whats happening. If you're still in school reading this, you should save money, after graduation you can start a small business to support urself instead of depending on government cus dem no go look ur face o.

      Berndy joseph difference is that in new York, a below average job can get you a decent living situation whereas in Lagos, below average income can’t get you decent bunking. The rents are accumulated and paid yearly and there’s tons of extra fees attached to the rent. Before you can get a place you should have worked a while year and saved up for it. That’s just not right, down here comfort or simple decency is a luxury.

We need to build infrastructure, we need to create jobs, we need to create social programs, we need to be wary of Chinese influence and unbalanced business deals and instead form strategic partnerships, we need to build Nigeria up as a great business destination for fin-tech/tech/medical-tech/tourism, and we need to radically improve the education system. Nigeria has the potential to be a major player, we just need to stop reverting to corrupt, familiar ways and focus on true progress.
