Shocking! Explore the world's largest water slum.

I didn't plan to come to Makoko, Nigeria Because I heard it was very dirty and unsafe Finally, I rented a car temporarily Met a local guide to help call a boat With the driver, four people accompanied us into the village The whole process is shocking and there are no other adjectives There are floating objects and garbage everywhere on the water Local children play in such dirty water Wave to him and he will respond with a warm smile Some people are scavenging in the water, and some are selling goods on the boat Compared to the peaceful water village of Ganvie in Benin Makoko, the world's largest water slum in Nigeria The visual impact is a hundred times stronger... The Nigerian government wants to demolish this place and once set fire to the house But people left for a short time and then returned here Because I can't afford a house on land Africa is a microcosm of the world's oppression and exploitation To this day, the rich minerals and oil here are firmly controlled by foreign countries The roar of modern machines behind the shout Will anyone really listen...
