Have you ever heard of the “Venice of Africa”? Join me on a fascinating journey to Makoko, Nigeria, one of the world’s largest floating slums located in Lagos. This vibrant and resilient community is a sight to behold, with homes built on stilts over the lagoon, reminiscent of the famous Italian city.
In this eye-opening video, we delve into the local culture, food, and daily life of Makoko. Meeting with local residents, we gain insight into their challenges, resilience, and traditions, all while indulging in authentic Nigerian street food along the way. From navigating the waterways by canoe to learning about innovative ways locals adapt to life on the water, this experience is one you won’t want to miss.
Makoko is not just a slum, but a place of rich culture, strength, and untold stories. Come with me as we shed light on this overlooked community in Africa and discover the beauty and complexity that lies within.
