What people from else where don't understand about Africans is that we always make the best out of every situation , we are happy with the little that we have . Why would you expect sad faces in that place ?
I grew up in a similar society , though no floating houses on lake Victoria , I still reminisce about eating all the fish I wanted for free 🤣 and swimming freely all day long .
But when other people come , they make that life seem like it's for poor people but simple life is the best , it's gold!
I used to go to Makoko every month to volunteer when I lived in Lagos. I miss it honestly. It's difficult to describe but the people are warm and honestly so beautiful There's joy there and I love the fact that a lot of local organizations are contributing to the lives of people through art, healthcare and so much.
Unfortunately, as a Nigerian, it's always felt to me like our own government is against us. It's frustrating, but the pride and joy we Nigerians have will always persevere.
I love you guys too much ❤️❤️❤️ 🇳🇬.
Come home abeg 🙏🎉🎊
Thanks for the love!
In my next world I will still choose Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 as my country #GIANTOFAFRICA
Same here bruh 👍❤️
Me too.I've thanked God quite a few times that he made me of Nigerian heritage. I can quantify the positive impact in my life because of it.
6:08 Kolkata is a city in West Bengal, India. That sweet snack is called 'Badam Patali' or Peanut/Nuts with Natural Organic Sugar.
It is a common desert snack here in West Bengal.
Surprised to see that this city has it and in our own city's name lol.
How weirdly cultures interact.
We have that in South Africa too probably from the Indians here
Thank you guys so much for shinning a light on Makoko! I’m crying literal tears 😭
Always dropping them hot! You guy's are Nigerians facially, try to get your ancestory done and you will be amazed that your Nigeria heritage will be the highest. Come visit the mother land.
I swear my country NIGERIA 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 has the most happiest people in the world 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 I love my country so muccccccccccch and I love your video thanks for always reminding we NIGERIANS that we are BLESSED
I'm speechless and amazed.Simple life full of joy and alot to learn
The difference between mokoko and vernice is branding
Happiness doesn’t lie in riches ❤❤❤❤
Exactly,
I told you, you are lucky woman. U have respected Man.... Look his Eyes. I love it 😍. Together respect ... My English 🤣🤫✊🏾🇪🇷✊🏾🦁👑✍🏾🔥
This is so heartwarming for me 😘😘😘, for the fact that kids have to get education and move on. He would like to see their lives change 😭😭
The thing with nuts it’s like butterfingers candy
I always love you guys reactions❤
There are very smart people there, a young chess player was found in makoko.
We can even get someone to swim for us in the Olympics.
The only thing that brings true happiness is contentment... God bless 🇳🇬
There’s a similar one in Ghana too
Its not a competition Ghana people rest .u guys have gone to copy us again
@@joyuyoke4999I swear 😅😅😅

The history is slavery. The Tofinu people were trying to evade the Dahomey kingdom's raids and they started building their houses on lagoons because they know Dahomey treated large water bodies as ominous and would not go near them. The water houses culture spread to Lagos as Ganvie is connected to Lagos by river which boats can sail over :)
As a Nigerian I believe i speak for most of us when i say our, politicians/ government are our nemesis. we do not have natural disasters and the likes just very dubious, self centered people at the helms of affair.
Would you believe there is hospital in that village that i got very good medicine from and survived and did not get on land? I do love Makoko,this may be the reason why some people say we are the most happy people in the world.
As a Nigerian I know makoko is a like a city on water and is not developed but I didn't expect it to be that bad
Liousiana and south nigerian culture hmmmm
Interesting 🤔
Facts
Great video
Quite a few of them were living there 80s into 90s but as time goes, development pushes more into Makoko. As the money bags buy lands they push them further into the water. It’s grown into a big community now and will keep growing.
In some ways this life is probably has some upsides. Humans are made to be active and have a sense of community and cooperation. They are probably more supportive of their neighbours as well.
The government is planning to build great standard houses to convene those in makoko island without interrupting it's natural habitat
Won't believe it until they actually do it.
Very useless government
Best food review’s hadza tribe series is a really good watch. I hope you watch it
Dispute the struggles we still go smile on our faces and I wish to change this place some day 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Progress is being made by the government to develop the place without interfering with its natural habitat. most of those that live in makoko are not Nigerian but neighbouring West African countries. To them it's a home and they prefer to stay there because their occupation are into fishing 🎣
Maybe they don't want it changed that much. Maybe they only want improvement. We that do not live on water won't understand that. Maybe they've grown to love living on water.
They should fight hard to keep this community going and find way to elect, say their own mayor and others position I mean people to represent them in all angles to make things work better. One love my people and don't forget it will be one day.
Makoko, the biggest town with a unique style of living, struggle and brewing enough talents for NIGERIA...
@thedemouchetsreact Makoko residents are mostly Ilaje. The Ilaje are a subset of the Yoruba tribe and live on water, whether on the coast of Lagos or on rivers inland.
I would like the Lagos State Government to help clean the water.
Can u react to this is somalia a rich heritage and bright future ...thank u ..I enjoy ur videos thanks
Looking through the comments hoping that ppl will explain
The indigenes are not originally Nigerian, they migrated years back from Republic of Benin and Togo and they have been living in the water,but now the Lagos state government is planning to remove them from the water
I WAS WAITING TO SEE THIS COMMENT! THIS IS SO TRUE AND THIS IS WHY THE WANT THEM OUT
Hopefully things will change soon in Makoko 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. We will get a government with empathy very soon
So Nigerians how do Makoko slum manage the sewage system
I believe that if the government invest in that community very popular tourist attraction and which in turn can be another source of income for them.
It’s an old impoverished fishing community that has thrived by itself. Neglected by the government, the sprawling water settlement lives in very deplorable conditions at least to the outside observer, they clearly don’t give a F**k as you can tell from the video. Probably some of the happiest people you’d meet.
The narrator says it started as a fishing zone ..but I have seen other documentaries say it was a ReFUGE for people fleeing from the colonisor...... please look for that story and react🙏🏿
I agree to guy that said “ the only time the government need us is the time of election “
So bad
Hope that this people can be helped....no kid should grow in this kind of situation... where there is will there is a way.
It is water, but they just built houses there because they have no where to live.
This is hearbreaking😢
90% of those living on that water wil lnever moveto land. They will tell you this is where they were born. Besides, 88% of those peole living in that water are from Togo, Benin repulbic and maybe few Ghanaians. Most of them prefer there because they evade tax and the government do not go there. I heard the lagos state government is planning to move them cos they are really polluting the water.
Ofcourse, Nigeria do have people that live on water too but not in lagos, can only find them in ondo, delta, bayelsa etc
makoko is a natural swamp
You're on spot bruh,most of those that live in makoko are not Nigerian but neighbouring West African countries. To them it's a home and they prefer to stay there because their occupation are into fishing 🎣
Appaarently. It's actually the Lagos government that are polluting Makoko or causing it.
Are you giving your wife a tip about more kids? 😀 or making her to understand that daddy need more time to get busy with mummy ?😜😝
Just rocking the table a lill bit but I sure do not want to legs to break.
I'm sorry for this question am about to ask u guys. I noticed you two always wear black, can you shed some light about it please!!!
No worries. We wanted a better look for our videos.
makoko people are not nigerians , they speak french and all
