Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria and the most populous state in Nigeria. It is congested. The Nigerian government should send them to their various states. These people don't even care about their condition, yet they have more children than rich people.

The government can be creative with this place and make it better. This is not the only floating town n the world but they are not this terrible. Even Benin republic has a floating town which looks way better than this. Lagos is not creative when it comes to town planning.

This oyinbo man left his comfortable home in the USA came to this place to do all he can to help the people of markoko. Meanwhile the Nigerian senators just bought 2023 model SUVs worth over 100 million Naira each for themselves, whereas these kids in Markoko don't have chairs and desks they seat on the floor to learn. Imagine how far such money will go in solving the problems facing this community and the likes of it in the country. Selfish Nigerian politicians without compassion, patriotism, or capacity to do good for Nigerians. Very heart breaking 💔 situation in our country. May God bless this American man, bless him and his family greatly. May God shine His face upon him and be gracious to him and his generations to come. In Jesus name I pray.

You just need to understand the history of that place, it's not the normal kinda slum that spring up within the city. This is an old settlement long before the Europeans arrived the place known as Nigeria today. Most of the resident of that place are origins of Benin Republic & Togo, there's a similar place in Benin Republic called Ganvie. French & Britain only came to create colonial borders that divided them. The Lagos state Govt have been trying to remove them but they claim it's their ancestral land, hence the loggerhead and stalemate on the community.

Second, thank you for this content and can we start a debate on the whole birth rate in Makoko? How can it make sense to them who are already poor to have so many children who aren't even all able to go to school? Lastly, can you ask Africhange to come to Angola because western union in Angola is a true hustle the way it is organised through some banks (really no one likes going to those banks to get their money of remittance and Western Union does nothing about it). Maybe having competitors it will help change the way customers are treated.

Sorry but its not just the goverment. In west (europe) people pay tax and there is limitations on wealth. Africa doesn't have that, its clear when you look at the gap between the rich and poor areas in the video. Basically Europe and Asia limit the market to create security but Africa is run by the market. In regards to fighting poverty, its wasn't just goverments that started regulating the markets there where Unions and the labor movements. Countries like Nigeria, lvory Coast and other hard-core neoliberal countries need a more critical approach to gab between rich and poor.

The American has concepts that are simple and can be implemented if materials are availed. Rainharvesting, solar, hydroponics etc. Creating order in the chaos can reduce the diseases(the most dire issue), donating in kind by say transforming a house at a time to starndards like the american's can be a start. Saddest for me is all the potential locked in all the young people because they lack options. Great video. Thanks.

@@okerebenjamin1951, exactly, but he didn’t do proper research about the people residing there but has made Nigeria look bad. There places like this elsewhere in Africa but you’ll never see their Nationals uploading videos like this to de-market their country. Some Nigerians are not patriotic at all. We are the architect of our own demise. I’ve unsubscribed his channel just because of this nonsense he uploaded…

The way the guy explained the loss of life which happened that year is funny, as if the Govt just came there and started shooting at people. There are hoodlums and bad guys there as well who engaged the law enforcement agents and that led to the fracas. Anyway i hope the Govt and the Makoko people find a middle ground in resolving this issue. The Govt should just accept the fact that Makoko is a city that has come to stay and older than many cities wihin the Lagos metropolis. Its a bone in the neck. Good job Steve

I'm really impressed with what the American is doing. If only more Africans or Black people could think like they do. Makoko can be so much more, the American already has a vision of what's possible. There's so much more we can do as a people.
