Their leader is a great person, my heart melted when he said Education is what they needed. Once they get an education it's ok with him if they will leave. Thinking for his community to have a better life than thinking of power. He is so selfless he's amazing! I hope one day Makoko will be a better community.

i love how humble that young man is especially when he said he was ok with the kids finding opportunity else where, that is love for his people.

"Once they get education and they are educated, none of them wants to stay here." -Taiwo this man is better than all the politicians who just visited Makoko for their votes, he cares about his people, the future of its people, and I can see he is very well respected in the community as a leader.

The fact the future head of the village wants the children to go be educated and take on better lives and jobs is very touching. To have love for his home and want to keep its culture alive while also wanting change for the better for those who seek it is very unique. I hope the kids do travel and spread aspects of their culture to other areas of the world

All I can say is, I feel soo humbled. I am Nigerian and I know things could be better but it's the fact that 'suffering and smiling' has become the norm. Looking at the bright side of things, it shows how resilient we are as a people, we thrive in whatever situation we find ourselves in. But still, things can be a lot better. By the way...loved this episode!

​HOODOO DAUGHTER ... (SussexStan) Because of xenophobia. Ideally, Nigeria is richer than South Africa (the richest in the continent, with the richest Black men in the world), but the level of corruption is the reason people want to get away. It's disheartening having the richest and poorest people in Africa in the same nation.

you can see the joy in the childrens eyes. they dont know hardship they only know they are alive and regardless of their circumstance they are happy. its so beautiful to see how they persevere. these people are all so strong!! and beautiful as well, their complexions are perfect and their eyes are so full of power like he said.

My God the people there have the purest sound when they sing, it's like getting a first hand glimpse of the celebration songs of their ancestors for a moment. These people are worth helping specifically because they are so spiritually strong as a people and the community even though their own government has abandoned them

When the chief-to-be said that he's okay with the children getting education and leaving the community behind, I cried a little. That's a quality leader in the midst of poverty and oppression. May Life provide you and the village prosperity and may the Universe grant you powers to be better than your oppressors. Can't believe I'm crying watching a food show on KZread.

I am from Lagos!I lives at the neighbouring city to this makoko for 11 years.in my life, untill i left for italy 2016.i usually pass through this makoko with canoe to reach my house every day. It was very tough, but there's always smile😊 in our face. Because we never realise we are poor.

You are eating, helping each other, protecting each other, uplifting each other. You are not poor. Poor people have no resources and no love. This is simply a community that is not materialistic, which is GOOD! Once you are shown greed, materialism, selfishness, you realize the better life was this one....all that is needed is trash removal, little bit of hygiene upgrade. When i got my first house, i wondered why my mother's house never had the inch thick gray dust on the baseboards that mine did...it's cuz she scrubbed them every other week! I never saw that part. So the upkeep of surroundings is just a valuable as the procurement!!

@@ayomidebright6052 I think we all try to make our lives better and there is nothing wrong with doing that. But we should also remember to appreciate what we have in our present lives. I think our definition of success needs to be based on the good we have done to help our fellow man, and not hurt him. I try to always be nice to others, and smile, and say hi to others. I think the problem is that people in the world today see being nice as a vulnerability, or as trying to compensate for something, or as someone that can be pushed around or taken advantage of. I try to live my life like I believe God wants me to, and to cherish relationships, support people and help others. I want to be that one person who smiled and said something nice to someone who really needed it, even if a hundred don't.

And when he said " that's okay " my heart broke cause he is the father to them all their protector and a great man in this floating village.

Well it sounds like that's what they want to make it,but without the people. Seems like they are doing everything to make it look bad,so they can have an excuse to tear it down and remove the people. Then they can bring in some rich bloke to buy it and make money off it.

The music they have in this series just fits the mood so perfectly. Music can have such an impact without being the main focus and they really just do it beautifully.
