The slum began as a fishing village over a hundred years ago when fishermen from Benin settled in the reclaimed lagoon from human debris at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, Makoko slum is home to more than 100,000 people, the majority of whom are migrant workers from Western Africa countries trying to make a living in Nigeria. Residents in Makoko depend mainly on fishing as the main economic activity.
I visited this place sometime last year and it was an amazing experience you can check @renzgold on IG
The living conditions are not alright but they are happy and content,too many reasons I was grateful they can’t afford the living standards but they’re content. I choose two girls to be mine and to sponsor them through school
