Lagos, Nigeria Worlds largest slum,Makoko is home to the world's biggest village. The population of over 220,000, Makoko is a unique community that has been built on water. The people of Makoko use the sea water as sewage Makoko is the world's largest water village.
Makoko is a community that faces many challenges. The people of Makoko live in poverty, and they lack access to basic amenities such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. The community is also at risk of flooding, and the houses are built on stilts to protect them from rising water levels. Despite these challenges, Makoko is a vibrant community that has a lot to offer.
One of the opportunities that exist in Makoko is tourism. Makoko is often referred to as the Venice of Africa, and it has become a popular destination for tourists who want to experience the unique culture and way of life in the community. Tourists can take boat rides through the canals of Makoko, visit the local markets, and learn about the history and traditions of the community.

You really kept your word and traveled to Africa... Respect
He's been to Europe and outer rim of the Mid-East so I dont there was any doubt of Africa. You need to question some of the other so called travelers who rotate through the same locations.
SHOW MORE ABOUT NIGERIAS GOOD AREAS TOO MY GUY. ITS THIER FLOAGHTING CITY DONT CALL IT SOME SLUM. .
@@wisdoma4860it's a bloody slum don't try beautify it say floating city. Would u live there? Why would any government allow their citizens to live in such horrible condition.
@@africanstar5814 yes its a bladifwaking slum.
@@wisdoma4860 Lol, a floating city surrounded by sewage, that is a slum. It's not intended to be disrespectful but we cannot ignore the facts. For what it's worth I was impressed by the cleanliness of many of the people, many looked well groomed with clean clothing. Where do they get their water from for cooking, laundry etc?
This is my favorite video i watched from this channel. Despite the conditions they continue to be happy and show love. 💯💪🏾🖤🙏🏾
Qqqqqqqq
That kid is strong as heck. Just the fact he rowed/pushed them for that long, pushing all that extra weight, and going that speed. Unbelievable honestly.
And he don't appreciate the kid hard work, he complained instead of appreciate, I don't like this video because of how he talk about the people
@@shawniepirie8719 complaining is the American way. 😊
Americans at a Mcdonalds' drive- thru, is a good example.
@@richradtylr4 complaining about Americans complaining. Ironic
Although we clearly see poverty with our privileged eyes, I clearly noticed people socializing with their neighbors and kids laughing and playing with their friends.
This is the life they've never shown the western world..we've been censored forever.. now dangerous places are the ones we grew up in.. keep on keeping on folks!
Hello laray I take a guess and say you’re black american. There’s been a lot of understanding between African community and African American community but I’ll the the one to tell you to tell your friends to come back to Africa, bring your ideas and you’ll make alot of money and we will build a society where we don’t see race because we’re all the same
Dirty is dirty. Wtf being privileged have to do about anything?
@@clockwork9825 if that is suppose to be a response to my comment, wtf is your point? So you're stating the obvious. Many people grow up in horrible situations but that doesn't mean life is horrible. They make the best of what cards they are delt. Obviously there are still smiles and laughter as I'm sure there is hurt and pain. Many of us probably complain more than they do while possessing much more.
@@laraywilliams6627 they can’t clean the place up?? Aren’t we told this shit everyday as black Americans?? Get it together etc
Mr Czech that place you went to is really dangerous place, I can't go there myself as a Nigerian, you are a brave man
its not really dangerous. its just dirty, i wouldnt go there myself, no point
@@mrlij6534 Not true!
@@visiow2691 Really...You all should put a little more effort to clean it up and keep it clean...It costs nothing to keep it clean...
The. Nigerian Government. Obviously Needs To. Create. An. Education. System. For. Low. Income. Families. And. More Environmentally friendly jobs. For. The. Locals. To. Clean. Up. Communities. Like. This.
@@Barbara-tw2pb
You have no idea how corrupted african and asian politicians are.
They care people only when election is closer
As unorthodox and chaotic as these videos tend to be, it truly gives me an authentic interpretation of what I’d probably be experiencing in the exact same scenario. The “guide” is clueless (somewhat) & so is Shek to an extent and it makes it all the more genuine because we’re all sharing in the experience together. I low key be worried for you sometimes bro, but you’re an authentic guy and it showcases itself in how you engage with em.
Some of them are not from Nigeria brother
@@promiseamaamaco2286 no argument there my friend
nigeria so huge thats why
@@promiseamaamaco2286where they from?
I notice you are very good with people Czech. People really seem to like you. You shouldn't worry about your safety so much. You will be good all over Africa bro. Stop worrying. Peace and blessings from the states.
This is survival I haven't seen many adults a lot of children, teenagers and young adults. The conditions in which they live are deplorable. We are truly a resilient people on so many different levels.
Wow... amazing how strong our ppl are!!!
These kids look healthy despite the surroundings.I bet they are immune.
Czech you explore what other TH-camrs won't and bring it to the world much respect to you ...be safe in your travels my brother and continue to give us great content and live your best life 😊
The worst part of Africa is plastered all over the world.
@@Frank-Bediko62 your a fool if you think africa is the only country where human conditions are of such
@@melvingreene7936 Nitwit. Reading comprehension is not your forte. Your statement that youtubers don't highlight these conditions is patently false.. Many popular youtube vloggers like Sabbitical and including Nigeria's own, Tayo Aina and Steve Ndokwu have done extensive vlogs on Makoko. Ignorance is a bliss: cursory internet search will reveal that Makoko is one the most exposed communities in Africa. Practically Every global media organization has covered it. Learn a little about an issue before you make unstantiated facts.
My work makes me travel around Africa and other developing countries. I have the good and the bad. I am very aware of these communities, and I am happy that Czech is drawing attention. My point is that these are what will most read or watch about Africa instead of a more balanced approach. Some popular youtubers like wode Maya Aina and Ndokwu take a wholistic and corrective approach.
You're a brave man Czech. I would not want to be on the canoe for fear of falling into that water; brilliant vlog👍🏽
Me neither
I love my people we live in any condition still move forward with what we got !!!!
Respect to the African continent and to Nigeria.
Why respect a country that refuses to develop?
@@JackKemet exactly .
Respect to floating on shit water and garbage
They’d rather come here and bitch about racism
@@JackKemet Wrong answer. The country and the people in it die and breathe like u and me. A better answer is why respect the gov. for not doing more to develop places like this.
At the end Czech was seated and another guy took the camera. The last few seconds were the most powerful of the 1 hour video. He noticed the sun. Czech only saw the sewage. He spoke authenticity to that little boy in the yellow shirt. Czech spoke to the people as a protective defense. The camera man came across as genuine. He got close, focused and made a connection. His words to the lad were positive, inspirational and encouraging. I felt that moment. 💛💙
yeah czech was annoying as a camerman. too much recording his own face and loudly laughing all the time for literally no reason. the other guy was cool.
Omg did someone steal his camera
Czech when you put on your African accent it has me in tears 😂😂😂😂 keep at it even when you travel to other parts of the world and you vlog 😂😂😂
🤣😂
Despite the living conditions these people are living in, they are doing whatever it takes to make it with very little Resources . Thanks for showing this video bro definitely enjoyed it stay safe be bless😏😏🙏🙏.
You welcome
The kids and their pool game 😂!
As a "Middle Class White Man from the Midwest U. S. A." ....I admire your work. Thank you for the risk that you take, and the respect you show others. I am a committed fa. Keep up the good work!!!!
Heading to the video now. I’ve been saving money for a year now to take my family to South Africa this summer
Czech you are fearless for going into that neighborhood. thanks for posting. For we don't know how blessed we are over here.
My new favorite channel. The motherland is unknown to us from the U.S.Wish there was a way to link out to these people!
Had to come and watch again after watching Nzulezo in Ghana.
Thanks for making this happen. I have seen this village several times before but I really wanted to see how well your experience went and so far it's an awesome adventure. ❤👍🏼
Have you been to Lagos Nigeria 🇳🇬 before my sister. My name is Terry from Los Angeles California America. I have been to binine and Togo 🇹🇬 and Ghana 🇬🇭 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Tanzania in. Nigeria is on my list for next year my dear.are you in America or Africa my sister????
🇧🇷 gostei do seu comentário 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤
It's fake news don't believe it
Czech in effect I've been watch your videos for some time I enjoy your content I'm from Nigeria but I was raised in America since I was 3yrs old. Still live here. I'm happy you came to Nigeria and happy you see what my people go thru on a daily basis! It's a shame that we are a oil rich nation but none of that wealth gets passed down to the common people. We have some very nice areas throughout Nigeria I'm sure you will show them as well. We need more of our African American brothers like you to come home and show our good and bad also share the knowledge we gain here in America to help Africa become a better place God bless you!
Black Americans can visit Africa if they so choose but it isn't our home. America is our home, Nigeria is your home
@@kas3583 🫢😴😗😊🙄
@@angelicakweku5293 Sorry if the truth hurts 🤷🏾♂️
Those poor people have to live in slum like that, in yet they are very happy and friendly god bless them all like this video way of life
Czech In Effect- you are a gallant man navigating that slum water milieu by boat. Another content creator had surveyed this slum. It sad that Nigerians have to reside in such horrible conditions. Can the government help these folks to relocate to better living conditions. What I noticed is the Nigerians residing there have community and culture. They made lemonade out of lemons.
Wow! Very very good content, thank you czech, this another hit you made on the charts.
Terry from Los Angeles California. Really good video check-in effects. You're doing a fantastic job with showing us The Good The Bad and The Ugly. You are bringing out a lot of really good information about Lagos Nigeria. Thank you for sharing your content with us. I am learning a lot from your video. May the most high god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob protect you and be with you. All praises to the most high
He finally went to Africa. This vid was great.
1:01:23 this was a very wholesome moment that kid needed to hear this encouragement 👏🏿 I respect what you doing Czech but you have a good friend also
Thank you
I swear that part touched me
You connect well with the people, the locals will protect you because of your personality, you have nothing to fear in Naija. I wish you a memorable stay. Please visit my city . Benin City
Thanks and bless up
Hey Czecho! Just a note of encouragement. My fellow American, you are going places!
You are a heavy hitter who's slowly and methodically rising to the top! Carry on fine Sir!
Well said ,thanks my brother
@@Czechineffect Anytime!
This is the realest video on TH-cam.... Thank you.....
Truly amazing content. Keep up the good work.
Its hard to watch people living in this awful conditions
Love your videos man you show it like it is Nigeria has some great people just trying to survive i have many friends their that i have helped and i dont regret it one bit watching from Las Vegas USA
@czechineffect I'm proud of you bro. Your documentary should make s record. Keep pushing... Oneday our own community will recognize you. Meanwhile I must join to support this course. You'll doing a great job like never before. May the ancestors keep inspiring you. You're one of a kind
Thanks for showing us the reality of many people. I have to say though this was tough to watch. Maybe the most depressing place I've ever seen.
You did a good job going there. Congratulations Czech!!
Thank you Bera
More fantastic video from Czech in Effect. Stay safe, my friend
If it had not been for this channel I would not had EVER known about this. If they as a people can do this, imagine what they can do when we as a people come back into power.
Dude... I've seen many TH-camrs and tourists go to this slum, including Sabbatical, Arab, Indigo Traveler, Best Ever Food Review, and Miss Josey. Yours is entertaining, but those people have seen many tourists
@Czech in effect, you keep breaking records of videos out there, I swear! Well done.
WOW!! This video was very insightful to watch! My heart goes out to these people. 😔 I wished their government would care more about them. They seemed so resilient! Much love to them.❤️ Respect to you, brother, for this video.❤️
Thanks
Resilient people, they are so industrious and not even complaining. Great vlog!
For sure.
Ya…… real industrious😂
Czech Effect you are too much very down to earth laughing and joking with everyone, eating the good not minding the environment, a good heart Godbless you bro
Children the future respect it !!!!
Ok
I am 78 years old and I love to look at at what's going on other places love peace and soul I am you watching
I really want to say THANK YOU for this incredible content - you have shown the reality of how it truly looks like in a different part of this world.
Watching the replay my brother, I missed this one too!
Nice people . No matter your life situation there is always a positive way to look at things. These people are awesome. Thank you for these videos.
Great one, bro. I'd appreciate you going to the high-end areas as well as Lagos . Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Banana Island, etc...
For what? Just to make you feel good, eh? FYI, those so-called "high end areas" don't really look good in videos due to the mediocre standard of the access roads, pavements, etc. Yes, the houses may look magnificent, but the high walls, security barbed wire, and (as mentioned earlier) the mediocre standard of the roads and pavements make those places look "somehow." Of course, for people living in Nigeria or someone visiting Nigeria who has spent time visiting other substandard areas in Nigeria, those so called high end areas will look like a different class above the rest. Please watch other videos here showing dangerous/rough areas in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica etc and observe how the roads, pavements and public amenities in those dangerous areas are far far better than those in the high end areas that you mentioned.
@Deep Probe I concur with you on that as I live overseas. The issue is that the Nigerian government hasn't delivered on its own share of the bargain envers its citizens. Poor infrastructural planning and development is one factor that requires tackling.
@archibongeyo it's because there is no one to hold them to account. Nigerian presidents act as if they are beyond reproach. They are surrounded by sycophants who are only interested in making money. This same pattern is replicated by ministers, governors, and LG chairmen.
Great upload
I love this kind of content I love Africa ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Salute to the work you do Czech 🔥 great content man
Thanks for sharing.
The boat driver was good bro, them lil kids are ruling in that river neighborhood
Czech this is really courageous and insightful content. Kudos bro.
Salute General
Thanks Big bro Czech for all u do ❤
Great content as always Czech
Wow:)! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video log like this video. Great work and dedication to going places that many avoid! Thank you…
welcome to my country. i have been away for 5 years now and i am missing home so badly. i hope you enjoyed Lagos, Nigeria
make sure check out my other Nigeria vids .I showed some really cool interesting areas
Keep up the Excellent work and content salute to you !
Great Video Czech this is why we in North America should be Grateful and if we could help places and people like this we should from we could because with the world leaders they should be helping places like these all over the world just imagine if everyone in this 🌎 WORLD can live okay then the Economy and Crime Rate and senseless killings wouldn't take place.....God Bless everyone in need
Why's everyone in the comments acting scared since he landed in Nigeria? Brazil is more dangerous than this. But i don't see the fear mongering because of the women y'all love to see 😂
Brazil is not more dangerous than Nigeria please.
@@user-cn7hi9mk8r Oh? teenage kids and young adults in drug gangs running the favelas, armed with assault rifles? That if you step in the wrong territory without "checking in", you could get popped? Not to mention, you can get pick pocketed at any moment? Extorted by the police around the bordered areas to the point of even issuing threats?
Color me surprised sir
@@user-cn7hi9mk8r BTW, one of your TH-cam heroes said he's not feeling Rio. So...what does that imply?
Bro seeing this I’m ashamed and your government should now it’s head In shame. Terrible government makes it people live like this
Such a sweet message to the little boy at the end. He will never forget it.
Czech bro! You are good in what you do keep it up,I know all that area very well 👌
Great video
Mr Czech I love your content I love traveling with you sweetheart kept up 🆙 the good work ❤❤from Utica New York I tell my family and friends about you good work ❤❤
I really enjoy your videos. I feel like I'm actually there traveling the world and interacting with the locals when I'm watching your channel.
That is awesome ❤
fire bro this was insane im thankful for everything ihave after watching this
Hey Mr. Czech good video, interesting. I just found your vids today, watched a couple so far. On this one i might be off but years ago seen a documentary where people living on water like this had to because another group or tribe owned the land section. They would let them cut wood for their houses and boats but could not live on that land. Again maybe this is not the same country of that story. Good job on your documenting this for us to see and learn. Thanks.
Enjoying your journey in Nigeria,so glad you visited "Makoko" what you called the water city, my other fav. vlogger, Sabbatical went there a while ago. They charged him before letting him leave 😂 then again he's a Mzungu( white man)lol Great job Czech🔥🤗✌🏽💕
It's called "EXTORTION and KIDNAPPING"...Life in prison sentences in America...😂🤣😂
Honestly,Is embarrassing as an African to see our people living like this while the leaders are flourishing and acting as if everything is fine.Shame on Nigerian Government 😢😭😭👎
From what I notice is the people choose to live here they been living there over 50 years and didn’t want to leave .they only come to land to shop when on land they want to go back towards the water .. this what I have been told
@@Czechineffect "choose to live " -- hmmm . . .
at the end the little boy in the yellow shirt says he wants to be a doctor . . .
I imagine if we asked the future generations what would they say ?
@@cynthiakelly8156 yes they are drawn to the water . They are so used to it that don’t want to leave
Makoko could be a fine place but the water is polluted. If the water was cleaner (no litter, oil from up river) then Makoko might get better press.
@@Czechineffectyo, stop saying ppl choose to live there,no one wants to live in abject poverty
Czech man keep doing your thing bro! Love your content. This video i don't remember you mentioning not once about your camera/phone being jacked!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good for you
Dope video.
Well done to you I have been watching your videos i am watching from the Uk. Proudly Nigerian.
Go back home makoko needs you
New subscriber here. Look forward to watching your videos
💯
very educational
Salute!!!!
GREAT EXPERIENCE!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, BROTHER... WOULD YOU ALSO VISIT OTHER MODERN PLACES, ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURES, MALLS, AND OTHER AREAS AND CITIES IN NIGERIA OR ANY PART OF AFRICA THAT'S NOT REALLY SHOWN IN THE WEST?
Dope video bro.
Respect bro. You bring the world to us, the real world.
Watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 . Do visit my country someday.
Czech bringing that Raw footage..✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
This was amazing to watch👌🏾
Great work here Chzeck in Effect! :)
To Czech you has captured the inner beauty of the hidden treasures of this place name Makoka in Nigeria. you have visited. The beautiful people there are full of life and vibrancy. The food, the schools and the churches there are similar to the U.S. except that they have a lot less of the rich resources there. The gentleman there in the video was very warmed were opened to showing you how the people live on the water. The water is their life source. I was touched how the people there are so beautiful and they are sharing with you the fish. I love the scenery of the gentleman who were playing pool, and the little children were also playing pool. Most of all l love how the young boy showing of his artwork of the people he painted. He is as good as l am as an artist. It would be nice to help him go to college to study art. And to have his work in museum as well to sell his work. I have visted Kenya in Africa and like the people in Kenya, the people in Makoka are very nice and show warm hospitality. God bless the people there. They are blessed with a richness of life there. The people may not have a lot of money and possessions of materialistic things like here U.S. but what they do have is a zest of life, a sense of community. Also the love of family and unity within their community. Most the all kid in the video who says he wants to become a doctor when he grows up. That was touching to me because he has dreams. That goes to show that people there in Makoka do have dreams dispite of their life circumstances. Makoka is kind of like Italy. The people live on the water is their life's line of survival. Thank you so much for posting your video for us to see. I love your videos and some of the places you visited l also visted and like you l like to see and be among the locales, you learn so much more. You get to see the real people and have an oped mind much more. Czech, may Godbless you as you continue to venture on your journey to the beautiful places you go.💙 ❤️ 😊
Thank you bless
Thank you for sharing your video brother. The kids have fun in the waters. We have the same too our Badjiao people in the Philippine islands.
I’m getting a big kick from the fact that you both are drinking rum while touring Makoko. I guess it helps process the situation better. Great video.
Dang!!! U went to makoko.. i have only seen this place from away .. never actually been
Yea you saw it going over mainland bridge
hi Czech kudos!!! to your tireless and fearless exploits in tourism ..God is with you to help you bruuu ... I am following your world program.. but just to make it clearer most people on makoko on this water migrated from neighbouring french country, some to find how to survive in Nigeria and some on asylum cos' of maybe tribal disputes or land problems where they were.. back in there country or community so they made way to settle there with few less privileges that settle on that area already from Nig to find a living ....
I watching video you travel in Slum Makoko ,From kota kinabalu ,Sabah ,Malaysia North Borneo.
Bro you are amazing. That reminded me of the Philippines.
Amazing video bro. You should get an award for that. Amazing brother !
It's kind of weird you go to Nigeria and go to the floating slum and start complaining about how these people are living kind of sad
Wow I have never seen anything like this!
I love Nigeria from morocco
we don't care
@@ethanquenum4778 I do care!
@@youme1414 Then go get your hug then. You'll see how you will be treated over there.
