🇳🇬 Makoko: Inside the World's Largest Floating Slum
I almost skipped Nigeria’s Makoko—warned of chaos and danger. But curiosity won. Hired a car, found local guides, and embarked on a journey that left me speechless. 🌊 A City on Water, A Life on Edge • Floating trash islands – children play in murky water, waving with sunbeam smiles. • Scavengers dive for scraps, vendors paddle makeshift shops – survival as art. 🔥 The Fire That Couldn’t Erase Hope Govt once burned homes to force relocation. But people returned—where else can rent be paid with fish and grit? 💔 Africa’s Raw Paradox Behind Nigeria’s oil riches (controlled by foreign giants), Makoko floats as a monument to global inequality. The machines roar… but who hears the whispers of the water? #Makoko #UnfilteredTravel #AfricaUncensored
