- That day, the boat broke down while we were in the heart of MAKOKO the world's largest floating slum on earth
It could have been a stressful situation, but it turned out to be quite folkloric in the end.
Welcome to Makoko, the largest floating slum in Africa, I hope you will appreciate this immersion in the heart of this district of LAGOS in NIGERIA.

HI thanks so much for being here ! without you these video would be meaningless
I 'd love to give a huge push to that video, it would be amazing if you could help me :
SHARE THAT VIDEO ON YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK
DROP A THUMB UP AND THOUSAND COMMENTS IF YOU CAN !
thanks a lot !
I wish you a great week ahead !
Take Care !
I will be more then happy too share
👍Likewise my friend 😍
@@53PiesC thanks so much !!!!!
Great work filming this bro 💪
@@boltd8801 thanks a lot boss !
I want to go and live and clean up the slum. Just because you are poor, does not mean you have to live in filth. I am 73 years and learned my Ancestry is Nigerian. I desire and feel obligated by watching this video to help my people. A million thanks. This has given me purpose and a mission.
thanks a lot for watching and for your warm comment !
@@chrissignal8857 u GENIUS
I have to agree wholeheartedly, one doesn’t have to be ashamed to be poor, but that filth they live in, is disgusting!
i also just want to get on a boat and start cleaning up and continue till all the garbage is gone. if everyone took a load it would be even faster. No one deserves to live like this. For this to be their 'normal' is bad.
@@myyuba You would be fighting a losing battle. When no one else gives a rats behind.
This video effected me. Seeing how happy the people are was awe inspiring. These people have so little but rich in happiness and peace.
thanks for that, yes this is a very BIG point !
just try to take the best of each day, whatever what it is made of
Rich in Happiness & Company...FANtastic! 👏
At least they think that. Unfortunately it's not true. This is a shyt hole.
I really think there's nothing to admire about these people.
One of the things that struck me the most about Makoko is, despite their rough environment, they seem to care greatly about their personal appearance and tend to dress beautifully when out and about.
i completly agree on that, i would say it is always like this in africa
Yea because it’s the only thing they can make look decent. They live in filth.
The worst crooks always own the most expensive clothes. Yeah, this is a Hugo Boss T-shit!
I noticed that as well! So much beauty and culture! That’s the African way!
Me too! I was just about to comment how clean and bright all their clothes are. And the Pride! When he rode by the woman in the gold with the little boy in the red shirt she stood so regal!
Onething I realized from your video, Nigerian ladies are more hardworking.
Kudos to them.
Yes they do !!! you are toatlly right !
Ladies are really always hard working here
Nigerian men are hard working too, tho.
Very much so in fact.
Not trying to be snarky at all or any disrespect, but hard-working more than? I'm just curious
Wow this is shocking. Not just the human factor but the environment. We sure have lots to be thankful for here in the us.
I just finished uploading and preparing today's video, hope to see you for the premiere in few hours th-cam.com/video/QGnkLhBhhvw/w-d-xo.html
@@sycomantz Yes we're not without our own issues. We need to clean up our own streets before someone else's.
yeah like Paedophilia, Mass shootings and Opioid addiction!
They are thankful, happy and contented with what they have. At least they don't have mass shootings like in the US.
@@bola6196 Given the choice to live in the US they would say no? Doubtful.
Am so glad that I live in Air Condition., with fresh clean water to drink from a refrigerator.
yeah this is a good lesson for us, comfortable in front of the computer in our flat
don't forget to mention we alsmot all people in the world have a sewage system, they?....well...
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.
thanks a lot for your warm comment !
Please, feel free to share this video on your social network and take a look at other videos on the channel
Happy ? Just think of one thing...sewage....
U all HEART.
Leave them alone ? The problem is no proper garbage disposal. They just throw the garbage in the water.
@@lizagurrea8286 no INCINERATORS IN any part of AFRICA. Sad
Lord, I will NEVER complain or get frustrated about my life no matter how bad it is after watching this nightmare😫
yes i did have the same feeling when i started travelling far from home, and see many places like this on earth.
thanks a lot for watching
Lord, I will NEVER complain
' Yea.. you will..
@@cpgone LOL, true that!!
Right?
I will bet on my life without any hesitation, that most of the people in Makoko are much happier than most European. I live in Europe and I know.
This video deserves 1million views, great job!
thank you so much, I really wish it can reach it ! I d love to share this beautiful experience
What a great job? Sitting in a motorboat with a local guide and driving the same laps over and over again and not realizing that people weren't laughing at him, they were laughing at him!
It sure does
That's insane...
So sad for the people living this kind of life.
thanks for your warm comment
It is sad indeed.
I bet their happier than the rich fucks!!
They choose it!
So sad the rich Europe, America and who else STILL do not pay a lot of money, for the things they buy in Africa. Think about chocolate, the farmers work hard and who is getting rich? Not them! Our trade is just not fair! Even "fair trade" is fake!
I watched for a few minutes and I started getting angry and tears flowing from my eyes seeing what these people are going through, especially the children. Take care.
i understand your feelings, but you don t need to be sad... people are not resinated or sad in Makoko... i guess for many it is the the only life they know... but for sure it has to change in a better way.
@@Ludo_Liu Thanks for your comment. Have a good evening and a great week.
@@tyy5557 you too ! cheers !
The so-called human civilization is a joke!
but did you also see a lot of the children were smiling i thought it was an amazing video and i feel very with lucky and grateful with what i have got.
Look how beautiful and full of life the children are! Should teach us all.
thanks a lot for your comment, and for watching the video
That is because you cannot see the ones that are dead from poor sanitation and healthcare. Talk about rose colored glasses
I thank God I live in Canada...and I pray for this people, specially the children that may God, change their life for the better.
thanks a lot for watching, and giving a feedback please feel free to share the link of that video on your social network
You people and ur country is underlying cause of their extreme poverty . U people r super super super rich and they r duper and duper and duper poor
It's not about where you live, like in all 1st World nations, there's some real poverty in Canada & in parts of Lagos you'll find great wealth.
Granted, no Health Ministry should allow a Makoko to exist. More incompetent government than anything else.
THESE ARE HIGH SPIRITS PEOPLES YET SOME OF US TAKES TOO MANY THINGS FOR GRANTED AND IS NOT THANKFUL !🙏🙏
yeah people here must have high spirit ! thanks a lot for watching
@@Ludo_Liu I agree It makes me feel more grateful and peacful
We should learn to be grateful
Agree, their hands are empty their heart is full
Thank u L. For these videos. Iam so greatful I live in USA, where I have roof over my head and can bathe everyday. Iam most greatful for what God has blessed me with.🙏🏿❤️
You are so welcome! thanks so much !
Good to see humanity's strength of community. You needed a paddle. Let's all remember to take a paddle when depending on a motor boat, every time.
yeah you are totally right ! thanks for watching
It’s hard to believe people really live their full lives like this slum on water. I must realize how fortunate I am with a home, car, and my belongings.
thanks a lot for watching and dropping a comment ! yes (we for most of us) seing this online with a good wifi on our sofa, are really fortunate !
This will be interesting to watch. Can't wait
I hope you will like this video !
cheers see you during the premiere !
Its amazing how happy some of the people are with big smiles like the boys selling fish and they're living in such tough conditions that many westerners have no idea even exists. I hope God protects them and convinces the rich people of the world to give money.
thanks a lot for your comment
Another interesting documentary vlog about the floating slum in Makoko. Tnx 4sharing my friend...+in full support.
Glad you enjoyed it, please help this video to travel even more and share it on your social networks!
I loved the information you included. When I watch documentaries like this, I have so many questions. But it would be better if someone narrated the facts so I could truly absorb the remarkable images you filmed.
thanks a lot for watching and for your feedback!
We're just tourists looking for excitement. No narrative or explanation necessary.
Glad you said it!! This is great footage of a world hardly ever seen. Like you, I too, have many questions! The garbage is overwhelming to say the least. It's the same in Mexico's rivers! Hugs from the states!!
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.
thanks a lot for your kind words,
please take a look at other videos on the channel, there are many things to be seen
Another amazing boat journey to Makoko . Enjoyed it so much
Happy to hear that! and so glad to see you back in the comment section !
thanks a lot !
Africa has all the worlds natural precious resources, and these conditions are in effect shame!
thanks a lot for sharing your feelings here !
i wish you a great day !
It is called ''the curse of the source''... when people that have most resources have least benefits from them. They lack infrastructure and ''know how''... common thing throughout the history. Sadly, huge part of Western civilization is built on theft, plunder, exploitation of ''third world'' countries. Take Belgium for example... how it is perceived in modern days - land of chocolate, beer, cheese... then take a look at what they did in Congo. Not to mention Spain, Britain, France, United States, Germany, Netherland, Italy... it is an unspeakable crime what they did to Africa.
@@psihostrumpf6233 Is it a crime that a lion eats a zebra that was slower than it? The world is eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest. Your idealistic ideology is not going to change that. Life is suffering, get use to it or check out. Its your choice.
@@williambrandondavis6897 How did i survive this long without your wisdom? Oh, boy! It hurts so much to think that i spent all of my life thinking: ''i have no choice...'' Thank you! Also - thank you for teaching me that stating historical facts and calling it crime is actually an ideology! I always wanted to have one! And i'm glad it is idealistic one! I wanna buy you an ice cream, Mr. Davis... you just made my day! Stay well!
@@williambrandondavis6897 the comnent above mine is being far too kind. I would just call you a fuxking idiot.
Oh and it is not 'survival of the fittest'
So scary if you fall in the water. There are lots of garbage.
Im so blessed in life , after watching this video.
that s true that this video can help to realize that we should not complain behind our phone or computer
My great grandfather lived over 40 years in a small shack in Iowa that was not much bigger than a walk in closet. Had a hand pump well and an outhouse. He was happy in his life and I loved visiting him. We would fish and hunt.
I lived in Iowa in CORALVILLE working as house keeping at americinn across from Kum&go now I live in🇮🇳 since one year!!!! u know what they say it's small world
Yes, the City is in a deplorable state; everyone can see that.
But did you notice how happy they are? They are wearing clothes made of the most beautiful and vibrant colours. On top of it, it"s peaceful and the children are happy.
Peace & love to them 🙏🏾🌹
Thanks so much for noticing what s important here.!!!
Sorry, I didn’t notice any happiness.
Excellent boat shape, amazing boat man skill.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for showing the other part of Africa. Life is a journey that each person makes his or her own choice till they go back to the ground. Love is the answer to the worlds problems!
thanks a lot for watching and for taking time to drop a warm comment!I really appreciate
Those people look healthier and happier then people in other countries
For happiness i would say definitively yes.
that is true somehow for health. However some important stats can be pointed out
life expectancy in Nigeria is around 53 years old.
Africa's Venice.
yes some people call it like this ! that s true
No! Hamburg, Germany in the year 2050
Eew no lol

What an incredible journey to Makoko, the driver was very patient and pleasant to the people.I was aghast that some of the homes have tarps for walls,I wondered how bad weather or storms affect them, I heard a lot of children, wish they knew what it’s like to run around on land. Lots of banana boats, women steering them, some selling foodstuff and merchandise. It’s amazing , the resilience and will power of a people to survive. The youth were out fishing, a young boy didn’t know the value of money. I lift my prayers for these floating villages and it’s people,
Thank you so much Alice for that warm and lovely comment !
I am happy you felt nice emotions watching at that video !
I wish you a great day

You couldn't pay me to go anywhere near this place,desease spreading atmosphere on steroids, even the air is toxic, they literally live in a sewer/garbage can! Probably smells worse than a 🦛 hippos ass! What a shithole! God bless these people!
What the hell is this place 😱😱😱😱😱? Oh my God
Thanks for sharing for a country rich for its oil its a shaming how most of the people live, just looking at the big long bridge I'm sure that's all those rich people in Nigeria are driving on everyday from politics to billionaires, while these people are suffering underneath living within the most polluted conditions, saddens me but they keep going with plenty of smiles on there faces even them cute kiddies singing along may god bless these people in the future and give them hope for a better environment and more caring government sending my thoughts from Australia god bless.
thanks a lot for watching and for sharing your feelings here ! I really appreciate !

You people and ur country is underlying cause of their extreme poverty . U people r super super super rich and they r duper and duper and duper poor
@@monicathomas5822 but but but THE WEST PAYS NIGERIA FOR ITS OIL...
Most Nigerians don’t live like this.
You must remember that Makoko is a fishing community. They actually chose to live like this, even though that decision owes partly to poverty. But to say, they live here because they are poor: that’s not entirely true.
This is sad😭 oh Africa ! How can human being live like this... I’m so sad 😭 😭😭
that s indeed some very bad condition for anyone to live.
thanks a lot for watching
@@Ludo_Liu everyone always talk about Africa but Italy it the same thing
You say that but they all seem very very happy. Maybe happier them most ppl who lives in houses, have jobs money etc.

@TUrd_immunity
Yet, you don't see these people shooting guns and creating havoc. That is a white man in that boat, filming this. No one bothered him.
I believe that this is one of your best videos ever! if is not the best one! because of many reasons: most people just don't realize the beauty and the historical importance of this place! but this is really one of the most beautiful and historic places in Lagos! and in Nigeria! yet it is rarely or never shown to the turists! for obvious reasons, but most of those are just prejudices and unjust judgements! because this is a very beautiful place! believe it or not! it is living miracle! and it has been that way for more than two centuries! and when you realize that this has lasted for so long you understand better that this is really a living miracle! and now it can be considered an even more impressive miracle! since for many decades people could live like this more easily because there was less people and plenty of fish and pure water around! but over the years as time has passsed now there is much more population, with much more polution, and obviously less puré water and fish to eat because of that! you can even see this problem in this video with those little kids trying to get at least a little fish to eat! so far away from their homes! therefore it almost made me cry that part of this video when you just give away a little bit of money to those little kids far away in that very polluted place just trying to get some little fish to eat!... you could tell by their surprised faces that no one had ever given them anything for free! in their whole lives! and their little and short lives have been very difficult and hard! as you can easily see here!... So it's very nice to hear one of them even tell you: "God bless you"!... and even dance a little bit in this little temporary blusa of happiness!.... This whole video is very beautiful, but this was the best part!.... but all in all it even gave me a new reason and hope to believe to believe more in miracles!... and to keep on believing more in God!
Hi Ramon. I know right? This place is so fascinating, although I won't ever want to live in a place like that. Ludo always does great videos! I am still in the midst of watching.
You should watch Ludo's other video about this slum as well. A beautiful aerial video. He called it "Makoko, My Beloved Slum". I love it so much! Here is the link.

@@JanJan-pq4im Even as a privileged American, I still remember the girl who worked at Circus World, a toy store in the mall, ordering my brother and me to open our bags, like we had stolen something, then throwing a bag of big league chew (shredded gum you could pretend was chewing tobacco 🙆🏽♀️) in each of our bags. For kids who are used to being mistreated everywhere they go or at best, just ignored, a random act of kindness means so much.
@@poutinedream5066 Yes, every single American, whether black or white, is privileged. And any wealthy blacks in Lagos, Nigeria are privileged also.
Thanks for posting.

water water everywhere and not a drop to drink
pollution is a huge problem here, yes....
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 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Nigeria has 🛢️oil enough to get the economy going for its people!!!! they're r still living in this conditions
Another great video.

Wow amazing
Thanks a lot 😊please feel free to share that video
Really informative and interesting video by boat instead of on two wheels as usual. It was brilliant to see the people going about there everyday life round about you. These are remarkable people who have adapted life to living on the water. Thanks for sharing this with us. It’s much appreciated! Brilliant work.
Glad you enjoyed it and really glad to read such feedback ! please feel free to help this video to travel more sharing it on your social medias
I found this a fascinating insight of the ability of humans to adapt and survive in even the most difficult locations. We are truly an amazing species. I saw smiles and kindness. The way they all navigated the water was so smooth. Someone in that area should gather that plastic and recycle it into a sellable product. Plenty there. Great resource.
thanks a lot for this comment !
That was great information. There is a lot of money in the plastic and recyclable items floating around them but are they being educated about it? Who knows but them
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.
@@poutinedream5066 Do you think America is okay? Trump people are worse than Henry the Eighth ever was. American rivers are poisoned, thanks to populist kapitalism. These fools don't care a damn! They have no brain what so ever! Good guys with a gun should shoot them! That would make a huge difference.
I would be so afraid of my child drowning
I saw a documentary about the area a few months ago. My heart goes out to them. Thank you for documenting this area.

how did you come to click on that video ?
my heart goes to the nature and what this people did to it. Imagine how this place could have looked without this people. This mess did not create itself.
of course the kids did not know any better so they are not at fault for what happens so much until the age of reasoning

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.
But…but…they’re a great contribution to society.
@@jungleno. They are human beings who have been shoved to the edge of society. I'm sure they make more of a contribution than leaving obnoxious comments on TH-cam
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.
Some of those houses are in pretty good shape and style. Impressive!
yes some house there are really lovely !!!

Some of these places are extremely hard to watch too see people live in such horrendous conditions..these videos help me teach my grandchildren what a blessed life they have a clean sanitary environment too live in. The stuff that makes whine and complain is just a spirit of spoiled and entitled..they have everything and so much more then these children will ever have..thank you for lessons my American grandchildren are learning.. I so admire the resilience of the people no matter I've seen they are hustling, the children are singing and playing that speaks volumes about the people they are as beautiful and colorful as the clothing they wear if the world could embrace...❤️✌️🇺🇸

Seeing this city at night with all the light's on would be nice to see.
yeah, i am planning to do some night trips, thanks a lot
They don't have electricity.
@@wanaraz I understand that, I thought that as well BUT I was talking about candles n fire n shit. God knows its not pitch black in that city at night. It would look relaxing to see the candles and firepits illuminate the buildings.
@@wanaraz see my vision!
Ola Ludo Liu muito bom o vídeo um abraço amgo Jundiaí sp Brazil
Obrigado Arnaldo !!!!
cheers from Africa!
This was just awesome to watch - what contrasts - thanks for showing us 👀
Glad you enjoyed it! See you at the end of the day for the new episode coming out today
Beautiful people living in harmony despite harsh conditions.
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.
thanks a lot for watching and taking time to write a warm and interesting comment
The houses are very beautiful too.
I HAVE F ALL TO LEARN
poverty HELL HOLE
HAVE ALOT TO LEARN
BREEDING TO GET OUT OF POVERTY IS VILE DISCUSSION FOR REBUTTAL. THIS IS THE PROBLEM .my god
When does economics & reality becomes normal
Learn from this ? really ? what about sewage...
the government of Nigeria should help this people, resettle, fast. This is totally inhumane....
@@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.
It's a bit like a Nigerian version of Venice. Thanks for showing everyday life and ordinary people in Nigeria. I'm glad I found your channel, very interesting to see Lagos and other stuff. Thanks and take care! 💜
Thanks for watching, i am glad you enjoy these videos, please feel free to share them
I.enjoy watching all..the video s..in..Nigeria, thanks
Venice ? Just think of one thing...sewage....
I live close to Venice, and it's more than "a bit" different.
@@pillina967 I know. Been to Venice 2 times. My point was that it's "a Nigerian version". Sure we all can see that it is a floating slum, nothing more, nothing less. I actually have a plan to visit Venice next spring and also Udine & Trieste. I've got a few Italian friends up there. L'Italia è un paese molto bello, mi piace tantissimo! Buona serata! 🌃
Very nice video. We appreciate all your outstanding videos. Please keep it up. Thanks Ludo Liu
Thank you very much! Sir Chuck Olu, i appreciate a lot the fact that you dropped a short message !
it is really helping and motivating as well !
I have seen it many time from the bridges, I've always wondered what it was like. Thanks for showing us.
Thanks so much for watching!
It's a shithole, that's why you never went there in the first place.
God, please just nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure......
🙂
Blessings 🙏That can’t be sanitary living in those conditions with all the trash and waste in that water .Lord
thanks so much for coming, taking time to comment and send your blessings !
I wish you a great weekend, i hope to see you for my next premiere tomorow
@@Ludo_Liu I Love your videos hopefully these people can get they Government to help but Kids are a Blessings because just the sounds of they lil voices gives me hope.
Blessings....
I lurched into this video. I loved it. So interesting to cruise through the village. Will look for more videos.

Awesome, thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it, and i hope you will like the others you'll see
Some of the best footage ever...💯
Thank you so much Vivian ! please feel free to share it to help the video to travel even more
I really loved this, the peace and quiet, slower pace. Its lovely, please go again with maybe a stick or paddle, instead of a motor
yeah i will for sure do it, with a different boat and on a sunny day !
thanks a lot A c for your support
@@Ludo_Liu I enjoyed the no sun for some reason. It didn't make it gloomy or anything.
Where's the worlds billionaires? These people deserve much better. Spending money on luxuries and war is cruel when situations like this could receive the help needed. Infinite Loving Blessings to these good people.
thanks a lot for that warm comment, that s true that the money spent during one day in war on earth could fix this place to make it look like heaven.
Their government gets their greedy hands on cash donations and food in these 3rd world countries.We send food to be distributed to the people, they grab it up to sell.Nigeria, Ethiopia, Bangladesh India,Honduras ect ect... CRIMINAL government.
Corrupt, greed. 😩
As a brit I will never think of myself as unfortunate again. I should count myself lucky. I'm very thankful for what I have and need to remind myself of what truly unfortunate people have to deal with just based on the luck of the draw of where you are born.
i completely agree on that Sir ! a French singer used to sing a song saying that life depends of what country's side walk you were born
Please give us a break The Homeless is overrunning the streets
Manchester, alone and many other similar homeless people are flooding the streets.
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.
There is still some good to there no hate.
