- During one of my visits to Nigeria, I was opportune to visit MAKOKO, an infamous slum settlement in Lagos. In this video I take you into the lives, living conditions and the story of the Makoko people.

It’s truly crazy how much we endure as Nigerians. People are born and live their whole lives in situations like this with no hope for a better future. I truly pray help comes soon.
In the way of birth control.
I pray too. Beautiful people, beautiful land...wishing your country all the best. 🌹
There Government should help them
Help isnt coming, either people help themselfs or will not be helped
They are not interested to change their life they should protest and fight with govt rather than expanding their whole life like that.
Even in the worst of places you can still find beauty. Watching the children play and laugh and the colorful clothing was such a stark contrast to the environment.
Oh my goodness where do they shower, where do they go if they are in labor, what do the women do when it's that time of the month? So many questions. Watching this is very humbling . so many things that we take for granted like running water or being able to go buy bottled water. A stove a refrigerator... There are so many things. I need to be more thankful for the things that I have that I don't even recognize or acknowledge at times
I have seen slums but never seen such desolate and destitute place no where.
With all due respect, this is an utter shame to all those folks who are calling
themselves educated ones. Take care of these people at once: relocate all of them
and have better place.
Love and prayers all.
I appreciated seeing the homogeneous community and the people being self sufficient. My sympathy for the one community leader killed by the government. Thank you for sharing and informing about this Nigerian community.
The children looks happy
Man! I am a black man from living in the southern part of Pacific Ocean. I will follow this since this video is one out of the best in this century
This need to go viral. There are so many communities in Nigeria that needs development
Development on water,which kind of development do u think government can apply here
Who doesn't know about the situation in Africa? I don't think you can solve this problem by throwing money at it. People live like this in many countries and it would cost more than we have to even attempt to help. I think the only fix will come from Africa itself if they ever find good leadership.
@@okgroomer1966 if we don’t start helping ourselves no one will. Our leaders our puppets
Your work is important. Thank you for your portraits of courage. I hope you continue this.
This is a great job UK! You are truly the UKGreat. Keep it up
I watched all your videos and they are great. I strongly believe you should create more content especially the ones around Nigeria/Africa. It's different from others I have seen and your approach is refreshing especially at the end asking for what the challenges are & also being solution driven at the same time. I hope it inspires Africans & friends of Africa to come together and actually implement those changes. Well done again and keep up the good work. (PS: I believe this is the first time I am ever commenting on a video on TH-cam). This particular video touched me different considering I have even visited Makoko myself.
This is so insightful ❤
This is beautiful ❤
Kudos great job
I was broke down in new York and had to stay in motel. The manager was 7 ft tall man from Nigeria ! He was so kind and doin very well not rich but to be manager at young age it's nice motel he even gave me a ride to get food 1 day !
This is beautiful. The voice though. Great work Uk 👌🏼👍🏼
Wowwww amazing video !
This population deserves to be invested in and cleaned up. It’s a great investment and many people would benefit ❤❤
Many would like to visit here telepathically. Its possible to experience smell of fish, waves of water and taste of food telepathically. These types of videos have been in use of secret services since 2008, and soon they will be available for everyone.
Excellent film. Thanks so much for opening my eyes.
Amazing video. .👐👐👐👐
Great content. Thanks
Amazing work UK. Keep it up 👌🏾
Thank you! Will do!
@@ukgreat As so many believe in “voting”:
Masons are their father the devil, ans their deeds are to steal, to destroy , to kill:
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
masons created the schools and the teaching systems, time to come out from these all and search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY.
Teaching for a test or educating our students? In our time? - nether the 1st not the 2nd.
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
There are no countries nor any reason to vote.
We all say, NO LYING, then why lairs you all go and vote for?
One lie needed, to be unable to trust. Politics lie, for it is their job. So, why you all still trust those who lie? A laying family member won´t be trusted, a lying friend won`t be trusted (example from real life) why the politics are?
Politics = masons.
new sub! cool video!
I was really intrigued by this. I didn’t know a place like this existed till now. Great job really
Hey there, I appreciate what you do and really enjoyed the video. And you are right.. through all their adversity they continue to smile and make the best of their situation. Special people!
God bless you! 🙏💕

The quality of this video is so good I was shocked to see you have less than a thousand followers. If you keep this up, you have good things ahead of you. I look forward to your next documentary film on TH-cam.
Thank you 🙏
Great video!
Thanks!
This slum is the shrimp capital of Nigeria. The industry is doing very well.
Heart breaking. Makes you understand why so many do anything they can to get out, even dishonestly
Hello beautiful
This is super insightful. Thanks for sharing and bringing It all to limelight.
You do a good work brother please keep it up God-bless you and yours Then be from the USA
Thank you
Weldone ❤️❤️
very inspiring
Awesome👍🏽
Thank you! Cheers!
Симпатичный народ, трудолюбивый, как могут выживают, тяжёлая жизнь у них, но не падают духом.Желаю им крепости духа, пусть дети будут счастливее родителей🙏🙏🙏
Great
This is nice
excellent
This is soo inspiring…you did well, I hope they get the help they deserve to atleast better their standard of living 😒
Thank you. I hope so too
Yes his work is in itself is very inspiring ,but slums are not inspiring.
Wow this is really nice o
I'm glad you like it
This is beautiful! Kudos to you, UK!!
Thank you so much!
Overwhelmed by the production of the film and its intriguing message. Excellent display!
Thank you 😊
You have to notice, how scrupulously clean, each dwelling is. No piles of garbage, litering, so normally common in slum areas...
If the revenue they gain from the timber production, salt, and fishes are put into developing the infrastructure using materials suitable for their living situation, this place can be turned into a resort-like heaven that the children will enjoy. May God touch the hearts of our politicians so that they abandon their corrupt ways, ameen.
Amen 🌹
From all indications the govt is very much aware of the existence of this community and it’s people but have vehemently refused to anything rather than inflict pain on its people. It’s rather unfortunate. Great job man ✌️
Nice one
Thanks for watching
While Africa's slummy Venice is unique....I personally invite Makoko here to Philly
❤️❤️

Oga go to nyanya in Abuja..u will get a very good documentary...
Government has failed these people, and the little that is provided to them is minimal at best. It is hard to tell people that they need to start taking more personal responsibility in how they live. I'm torn when I say that, but part of me feels that their situation can be improved with changes that don't come directly from a corrupt and useless government. They are strong and smart and can make things better. They seem like beautiful people. If it is one thing that I have learned in life, it's that you need to start doing for yourself when no one will do for you.
❤
This makes me hungry for fish 🐟
This is them. Great culture, eh? Little kids show how they will be when older....
Amazing. They all seem healthy but you know they are swimming in sewage
Where do they get drinking water
This is like a horizontal Kowloon City. The smell from the sewage alone, must be god awful. Weirdly enough, there seems to be little garbage, so common, usually in slums. I would assume, like Victorian England, every scrap of ANYTHING, is reused.
Where do they go to the bathroom
This is very sad to see. We hope that the government can intervene soon.
Nigeria's population has almost quindrupled in the past 60 years, from 45 million to 220 million. My God, this will be disaster if it goes on like that!
You see my friend Collins ubani tell him Chrissy says hi

It’s a shame that the people that are so rich in the world with so much money that could do so much good don’t do it 😢
The simple things need fixed: a basic health facility preventive medical care and hospital. A land based free of charge freshwater facility and litter and sewer collection and treatment facility.
Hi mate from Sydney nsw, im just wondering like do many ppl or lets say children drown living heir on top of the water plz? just wondering that's all. cheers. "Ps n also do they pay rent or have to buy there house or just build it with out any ones permission plz??
Oh n also im just wondering do the piss n shit straight into the water, no disrespect but it is wat it is my friend as there's no need to glorify it anyway bc like i said it is wat it is, anyway im wondering where do i subscribe to your channel plz? just cant find the subscribe button that's all. cheers.
You wonder why they live ontop of each other when Arica or lets say Ghana is such a large place, is it bc there r only a few spots to get water n food or?>
My first assumption is because because of ethnic groups. There are many ethnic groups and over 250 languages and so that community factor is there. Also the government in Nigeria is very corrupt it is easier said than than done to relocate, the is a chance they could be exploited somewhere else is not impossible.
What they do to dead bodies?
Man cover finding a group of people working to find a solution to the problems the people are facing. It can't wait. At this rate all it takes is one form of disease, weather or act mankind to destroy it.
do u know nick from indigo traveller did go fund year and half ago along with others $80000 was raised to build an orphanage.
nick has not updated us as he promised.
Their government is despicable for allowing these people to live in poverty while they live in nice homes. This way of life is unacceptable. I appreciate everything that i have and compared to them I'm considered rich smh God bless
nice one ,,but why are they refusing to relocate ?
Most of them have no where else to go
Oh. Relocating is easy to you
African Badjaos
Tell Joey to bring ‘‘em all to the USA. All their needs will be met😊. Points out the benefits of ridding Kenya of the colonizers
Trust in Jesus Christ 🙏 he will see you through
Five thousand years and this is the best they can do .
Your ignorance is stunning
Wish i had a Billion to Spare. Would get rid of this & Build Real houses 4 these Folks!! Makes No sense 2 Live like this in the 2000's especially now 2023!!
This is tinubus mega city
Ukraine gets All the help
Tinubu’s Lagos
Nobody should live like this
The curse of overpopulation.
The only videos I have seen so far, is you guys going to this community to do videos in order to get more views and likes without helping the communities. What is the essence of visiting a poor community just to do videos without having the mindset to help them with little. 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Why do this to Nigerians? and Black Nigerians at that...
Who rules the Nigeria? insentient?
Do they have toilets
They dump into the water directly
