🇳🇬 Makoko: Inside the World's Largest Floating Slum

A Venice of corrugated iron and resilience – where joy floats above poverty. ⚠️ Survival Guide 1️⃣ Never go alone – Hire a local guide + MoPol escort (25,000 Naira/~¥120 per person covers "security fees"). 2️⃣ Mosquito armor – Sunscreen + repellent (no boat roofs = bug buffet). 3️⃣ Shakedowns happen – Let your guide negotiate. 4️⃣ Wobbly canoes – Panic = more sway! 🚣💨 5️⃣ Sunday magic – Best day for vibrant church attire and cultural immersion. 6️⃣ Wear closed-toes – Flooded walkways + floating... things. 🤢 7️⃣ Masks + perfume – The stench? Next-level. 📸 The Paradox Kids laughing in sewage water, women cooking on floating planks – hardship meets happiness. #MakokoUnfiltered #HumanResilience #LagosRaw
