seeing those children made me cry and the respect they have

Shorn. This video was rough to watch. It just give me a different perspective on life. I tell you I’m lost for words.

My God! Help these human beings out of this poverty, please! The government will not penalize you for exposing this inhumane lifestyle! God bless you, Shorn Arwa. Love ❤️ Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙏

I am jamaican and I thought I had a hard life but to these people I was living in paradise, and I mean when I was a child. God is good. 😮😊.

Hanti relax don't go about thanking God over someone else's misfortune "God's good" those residents choose to be there it's literally an illegal resident

Mama Doti is so humble,may you never lack in Jesus name 🥹am just in tears

I am so saddened by this video,it is quite a sharp contrast from the video you showed us of Banana Island 😢😢😢

Nobody has captured this village better than you. You are a rare Gem and evidently a blessing to humanity. Thank you Arwa and God bless you. To the people of Makoko, keep your head up and don't give up. Don't ever forget Roses 🌹 that grew up from concrete. Do not let this hard life stop you from seeing the stars. I love you all.

See this place let me of to ask why people not appreciate what we have because people out there living in terrible state 😒 god bless these people and children's living on the water 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Those children are so respectful 😢😢

They refused to be resettled. No one should blame government.

The lesson i learnt from this is every day give thanks and be very grateful for what you have, others are far worst off than you😢😢😢 . Blessings Shorn❤

Eeeh ati lying down....Kenyans let's gather here😂😂😂😢

Thanks for posting the so long awaited video of makoko 👍🎉

This video really touched my heart 💔 you did a great job narrating the story too..😢

Thanks Shorn for visiting this neighbourhood and your generosity is amazing, however if we as black people collectively do not clean and help each other, how do we expect us as a race of people to rise and shine, may god almighty bless us all with the spirit of ubuntu and wisdom 😇😇😇

The video is really nice, emotional and highly educational..I literally teared up watching this .. “ADOYO” here with much love ❤️❤️🥰.

Thank you, Shorn good to see you again. Hope the family is doing well.

It's funny but they don't fall sick or die any how. They are just like every normal person living on land. Everyone should know that there is no government provision for people to live on water. Those people decided never to leave the water. They say it's ancestral to them. Their forefathers founded the village before Nigeria was formed and they will never relocate. Thus, they are left on their own. There is no provision for government to build roads, pipe-born water, electricity, etc in such place.

I get so emotional 😢 and worried for these people on the water 💧 i don't even see life jackets and the boats

Makoko is not the largest slum in Africa though, Khayelitsha in Cape Town South Africa and Kibera in Kenya top the list, with about 700k population. Makoko should be around 8th with around 250k population, but it is the largest floating slum unlike others which are basically on land. Well done Shorn, you strong.. cos as a first time visitor to Makoko you were so composed💯😊😅

@@user-wc7mz8ud8yyou people are just silly, you can search on Google and understand that: 1) Those people are not Nigerians, yes their ancestors move that location from Togo and Benin( cotonou) some hundred years ago and prefer to settle on water. 2)The government on many times tried to resettle them to the land but they prefer that place because its their ancestral spot and because they are majorly fishermen. But the truth is when the government is ready, they will have to leave. 3) Another reason why most of them prefer the place is because all their lives they have been living on water. They do not even pay any taxes something they can never escape if they are on land. 4) Lastly, your country will probably have a bigger slum than Nigeria even with your very small population, isn't that shameful? Ruminate on that!

Good video keep going

Shoŕn I know what you will help them you are a good person God bless you tell ďèe to help them as well 🙏

Mayooo!!!life is so different over there

Bless up ❤

Watching this leaves me with so many questions😢...

I am glad to see you doing this video, we have been following Makoko for years now. So many documentaries even movies have been made about Makoko over the years, yet, there has not been much changes done here. This is very sad and heartbreaking. It only shows that human beings will learn to accept the worse of conditions, if it is what they are used to. There is so much that could be said, but there are forces operating behind this, that only God can change. These are the kind of places that really needs help, instead of so many people going after fame and fortune, and bigging up themselves. This is why the rich and famous will be judged by God for what they do with their riches.

Pont of correction. Makoko is not the biggest slum in Africa. The biggest slum in Africa is Kibera slum in Nairobi.

They don’t want to leave. They like it there in the water. They are fishermen and want to live in the water. It is an illegal occupation so the government is reluctant to develop the place to a better standard because they have been asked to relocate. My response is regarding “sad living in water”

Now I went there, cause Im nosy, but I drove on to the island, I approached it from 3rd main land bridge way.

I have seen a movie of Nancy and Ramsey acting from such a place

I wish to offer my teaching services for free but the distance has barred me But if there happens to be an organisation which can cater for my transport and accommodation can still offer the services free

They should have improved the standards not relocating them that is nt a solution

💃you are back. What happened?

Mr beast should see this

Hi, my African sister Big up from your sister in Canada. How can we get in touch with that teacher.

Wait... is that sewerage water mixing with garbage...😢😢... if I was the one living that place... I would get cholera and diarrhoea

Tell maraw to send some money to the people

Have nothing to say..total blackout... Is this real??

Shorn, please dont eat those mandazi, you saw the lady grabbing mandazi with her bear hands ,na ndio anashika hiyo kitu ya kusukuma maji! The fish are contaminated, everything is contaminated. I feel sorry for those beautiful children. These people can't be moved to somewhere? Does this country have government?? Shorn be very careful. Wash your hands thoroughly + wipe your phone,camera with chlorox wipes!!

They fish in the water that has the pooop? We thank God for the things we take for granted

People living in those inhumane condition and you want to tell me there's a God!

Makoko and the Lagos state Govt have been at logger heads since Governor Fashola era, cos they refused to leave and allow Govt regenerate the area claiming its their ancestral home for years. It's an illegal settlement actually with the residents originating from Nigeria, Benin, and Togo as well. Some of them also speak French and Egun language.

You have no compassion. “We should not just leave them and let live their lives in peace”. All this horror and sadness needs to be seen, heard exposed and addressed. So that the people can be helped. If it’s even just one person to be helped then the world is a better place without all this suffering and misery. Imagine if you were in their shoes. Would not your heart be troubled with the fear that there’s no hope? Therefore think twice before you make such comments. Greetings and blessings. I hope life finds you in a better place.
