    I can appreciate no judgement in doing this documentary. Given a society is not suffering from war, starvation, violence, etc. this is an example of, “You are only as happy as you decide to be.”

      Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
      2 Timothy 3:13 KJV
      But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
      lets analyse the lies through which are we daily deceived:
      lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
      lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
      lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
      lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
      lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
      lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
      lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones! - who said it be worthy to forget?)
      lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
      to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
      Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
      lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
      lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
      lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
      lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
      lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
      Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
      lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
      I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
      to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
      lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
      lie: TV watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
      half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
      lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
      Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
      lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves).
      Lie: love is low standard and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
      John 15:13
      Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
      Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
      lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
      lie: BIBLE is man written and a fairytale (fact: BIBLE is written by GOD, through man, bible is not fairytale.
      BIBLE IS:
      BASIC
      INFORMATION/instruction
      BEFORE
      LEAVING
      EARTH
      = BIBLE. A book - yes, book which we all need as it is only one filled with information and instructions we all need for life on earth.
      Lie: Miss beauty contests around the world is about beauty of FEMALES (fact: these contests are about beauty of MALES IN DRAG)
      lie: Medical “virus” known as COVID 19 (facts: real VIRUSES are in Hollywood and kept secret:
      - THE TTM virus = being tare, trans, mason.
      Lie: There is no truth, no right nor wrong and all is allowed as long as you are happy. (fact: truth is easy to find, search: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY and expose masons in masonry).
      28 lies, should i go on?
      Proverbs 20:1KJV
      Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

      Have lived in Lagos and used to drive past this slum. Shocking comment on applauding degradation and humanity at its worse. Nigerians think that the baby factories must fill every nook and corner. Even the leaders Buhari two wives ten children is the norm. The men just cannot keep their trousers on and the women should be stitched up. Depressing for hold this community with any respect.

    My husband is Nigerian an he took me to Lagos in 2022 and I honestly am more grateful for the opportunity we have because most of them can’t enjoy the things that we complain about. We have electricity 24/7 they have to consume energy and water ran by generators. So me complaining about my bills piling up but they can’t even eat as much as we can, every Nigerian I saw that came up to me I gave 5000 Naira and they appreciated it. They don’t have the luxury of receiving government assistance, access to hospitals because they can’t afford to pay the hospital bill of $3000 Naira approximately $4 usd everything is paid for by cash money Naira. Me seeing the disabled street beggars hurt my heart …. Having no limbs crawling on stomach because of the diseases they have due to not being able to afford polio vaccine or hepatitis 😩🙏🏽lord have mercy ….. so shouldn’t no one in the United States of America complain about struggling if u have never seen someone else life in another country. God bless these people for having a strong mindset to make a way and survive.

      you're allowed to complain about bills piling up. Two different cultures with their own cultural issues. While our issues seem awful to complain about, they're still very real and sometimes debilitating as well. Most americans dont receive government assistance and have a crap ton of medical bills. You're also allowed to recognise the troubles of another country without calling yourself selfish

    I'm sorry but having 18 kids you can't provide for is the highest form of irresponsibility. It's bad for everyone,kids are denied somewhat of a decent living notwithstanding existing in a floating slum. You put stress on yourself to provide for them and on the community by occupying/taking up the limited resources.

    It is good to show the diverse and dynamic nature of humans, this documentary is highly insightful and i remember watching it the first time, when it came out initially in 2013 or so. However, as a Nigerian i believe it is unfortunate that an average unlearned or ignorant person will believe the whole of Lagos is in this state of Makoko.
