The people look contented to me. Survival is the key word. I hear the laughter of children. The children in our land of plenty are probably not as happy without their video games and tv. The problem is the government wants their village destroyed but will not provide them another place to live nor jobs to feed their families. No one looked hungry. Leave them alone.

My stomach dropped every time I saw a young child perched on the end of a boat or in some improvised floating device. I would imagine teaching kids to swim would be a priority, but if it's at the risk of a staff infection or something, they are probably more likely to teach them to stay out the water than to swim in it. Honestly, it's a tough call.

What the hell is this place 😱😱😱😱😱? Oh my God

Another experience I was curious about. Makoko is special in many ways. The people have created an unbelievable city on water and the government does not see the benefits of this- instead, they want to ear it down. SMH- you wonder who do they serve? The lack of infrastructure is frightening and I wonder what is the statistic for deaths by drowning, disease by contamination and natural disasters What about the stench of the water? Has the government done any test of the water to see the types of bacteria that exist? What about sanitation? You mentioned the communal bathhouse but how clean and safe is that? What about Covid rate in Makoko? There are many kids and no surprise the fertility rate is high but it is clear that the lack of medical facilities is dire as no one cares chief of which is the government. Disappointed in the lack of care and attention but not surprised. People living on the water is not a novel idea. People living like how they live in Makoko is criminal and the government is to blame for the total don't care attitude of its people.

Have you ever visited really poor countries? Have you ever BEEN in Africa? Not every part of Africa is the same. And history shows, places have been extremely rich and healthy! Or poor and happy and healthy. What we see now, is just our times. Crowded cities are always at risk of deadly diseases. That is a rule of thumb. And, finally GO THERE and see for yourselves. Maybe you will start fighting your kapitalist moron politicians, that would help a lot. Thank you.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you for this interesting but sad lifestyle of hundreds of people in a blessed country called Nigeria. It's a shame that they have to live in such slum despite the vast natural gifts of God in my country. Yes , I enjoyed watching and smiling as the beautiful faces of the people and children shows contentment, peace and joy as they ho about daily business. I wonder how they sleep daily in those sheds on the water and yet strife with joyful faces. I wonder how they cope daily , when some of us live in better places and yet complains daily. May God continue to protect them and pray some of the children gets head way in life to become a point of reckoning in the society .Amen. Thank you Liu 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

It is far from beautiful, it is the opposite .. you must be stupid. Ludo did a great job, his quest was to show how polluted the floating city is and how government's in 3rd world countries fail the people that have to live in such places. Jan Jan you're a fool.

Despite the poverty in this slum area, the people are happy, especially the children. Now the need is great. My ❤️ goes out for the poor.

While there is poverty here, the world has a lot to learn from the conservation culture. These people have used the most basic of items to survive in a very difficult environment. Maybe our engineers can learn a thing or two. No steel, no plastics, no cement, yet the houses are standing firm and strong.

@@hephaestus198 Thank you. Sensible comment. Africa is bursting with natural resources. Why African leaders (men) for the most part allow this extreme poverty to continue in their nation is mind-boggling. They are so incompentent. I am not afraid to say that if Europeans came to Makoko, they certainly would not allow a community like this to even exist amongst their own. I.e, South Africa, Namibia, Rhodesia, Kenya Please don't make an argument that I am racist. I am Black woman and simply stating facts.

There's a beauty to this floating slum....like Fallout 4 beauty.

White Single men and women.....whilst the councils are not building any new housing. Crime is on the rise and human trafficking and the rest underneath the mismash of so called polite society a complete contradiction. Please Britain is definitely not rich but alot of stolen goods has hype up its presence in the world. As a Brit........well if dogs need a passport even the dogs can be a Brit. Nothing unique about that.......only the most high will interven in this case. Not everyone in Britain is Rich and greed is prevalent but still are some good people.
