20 million ppl in a big swamp

but americans are the ones that need to stop using plastic, amirite guys?

I would venture a guess that Damascus is infinitely better to live in than Lagos despite the civil war.

GREAT vid. I subbed!

The real polluters are clean canadian cities, not places like these. Didn't cha get the memo

I heard that Andrew Anglin lived here. ...imagine being so terrible of a nazi, you end up having to live in the capital of Africa... That guy was just pathetic from top to bottom.

❤

Because it's in Africa

Very informative commentary. Now, what are we going to do?

Nice nice content. Please, I sent you a mail. I look forward to your reply please.

Lagos is truly a shithole, everyday i go back i come back so exhausted. I can't wait to leave the place! Wonderful video, thank you for the information. Well done ❤

5:28 There's no way this is right. Those turreted ships did NOT exist in 1851.

At 8:21 how did we go from this to this, oshodi lagos does not look like that anymore, mumu.

Nigerians: make bad video about their country all day and put in on the internet for the world to see. also Nigerians: why is our passport weak and why does no one around the world respects us???? bunch of mumu.

people talk so poorly of colonialism but looks like that was the best period for this region.

like I needed a YT video to let me know not to go to Lagos

This is a really interesting, well researched and well put together video. Subscribed, looking forward to what you produce in the future!

Most of Africa is run by venal, incompetent, and fully corrupt "Leadership" supported by outside corporations and governments who thrive off this lack of accountability. Nothing will change.

The whole population of Zambia is in Lagos😅

In the four years I lived in Lagos, I spent an estimated six years stuck in traffic.

@cascade Respectfully, You are wrong about the History of Lagos. Please do not distort history. The Aworis did not come from Ife, and Ife was not the homeland of Yoruba people. This manufactured assertion is been forced on the Ijebus, Egbas, Aworis, Ondo, and so on. Do you know that the Aworis speak a dialect of mixture of Edo and Awori? There was no such thing as the Yoruba then. Yoruba is slur given to these people by the Hausas. Also, you conveniently omitted the fact that The Benin Kingdom founded Lagos and named it Eko. The first Oba of Lagos was King Ado, an edo prince and the son of Oba of Benin. History do not care about your population or tribal biases. History is sacrosanct. The Benins founded Eko, and the Aworis from the far in-land came and traded with the Benins. They were taxed and forwarded all the proceeds to Benin City. Please go back and read or get schooled on this topic from the owners of Lagos. When the Portuguese first arrived in this part of the world, the first people they encounter were the Benin people. The Oba of Lagos is descendant of the Benin people and that bloodline and lineage remains till this present day with Oba of Lagos. The Erelu Kuti of Lagos expanded on this on so many interviews. Lagos is an extension of Benin Kingdom. People like you are trying to twist and erase history that is well documented. The Benin did not invade that land, they founded it and named it Eko. The original owners of Lagos are the Benins (Edos) and the Aworis. They are the indigenous people of Lagos. It is sad that Obasanjo erased history from Nigeria school curriculum to suppress the true history of Nigeria. Thank God these things are well documented. Please do not be tribal when reporting on history. The present Oba of Lagos is direct descendant of the Benin Kingdom. Go ask them in the palace in Lagos.

Odd, no one mentioned runaway population growth asa contributing factor

Clearly socioeconomic conditions ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️people with those subsaharan genes despite being completely disconnected all cohencidentally yet consistently ruin places with people in them(it just is a cohencidence ok?)

very good video

Nice and informative video. However, you made it seem like those British devils came to do well and help us prosper, instead of loot us of our resources to enrich themselves. Thats information, that should be in the video as well.

i feel like the saddest thing about a lot of large African cities, Lagos included, that is immediately apparent just from looking at them on street view, is the number of giant, American-style suburban homes with gated walls around them directly fronted by unpaved and horribly managed streets. it seems to make it clear that the problem with countries like Nigeria now isn't even that they are poor, because it is clear that there are a lot of wealthy people and obviously a large GDP. Its that they have been forced, either by international business or by their own governments, to adopt a hyper-capitalist system that causes disgusting wealth disparity and very little investment in the public good. The fact that people can have so much wealth that they build a walled compound in the middle of a city with unpaved roads, spotty trash collection, and almost no metro line, is absolutely criminal.

People like that who cant even bother boiling their water rather than begging the west for money i have no sympathy for. They do have fire right?

How did Lagos get so big? A complete and utter lack of family planning. Dudes pumping out baby batter like there was no tomorrow.

13:11 A population the size of California in one city??? 😮

I was here. Talk to me when you’re famous?

Necessary quality content…thank you 🙏🏽

No excuse for this dire treatment of citizens…absolutely disgusting. May as well give it back to the colonizers

Hate them British!! Muscling in banning slavery and building quality civic buildings!! Grrr hate that imagine turning a city into a picturesque place oh man makes me so angry hate them British wish they would just go home

Great video, but the last 3 minutes in particular were phenomenal and can be their own piece in my opinion. I understand however that in that way everyone would scream at you "russian propaganda".

i see some Johnny Harris influence here ;)

Because it’s in Africa. Save your time.

Africa needs Russia

Finally not the CIA this time 😌

Keep making videos! I’ll watch them all❤️

More Please

Incredible video!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice video but you forgot neoliberalism. And Lagos is just like almost any city so there is a pattern slum historians should note

Adrican cities are Disgusting

Monrovia in Liberia looks worse

Brilliant video. I like your way of telling the story, efficient and precise yet natural. Great visuals. And you have a beautiful voice. Subscribing and hoping for more.

How do I participate in the resource looting session?

Good for Africa!
