Members of the UNHomes Team, a leading International Social Housing Enterprise with a mission to convert world numerous slums to eco-friendly communities recently paid a visit to Makoko- one of the numerous slums in Lagos which happens to be very close to Onike, Yaba, Akoka and shares borders with the Lagos Lagoon from one would easily sight the Third Mainland Bridge.
Here are some exclusive pictures I was able to get from the crew on their visit:

Hmmm, I never knew there were places like this in Lagos - close to Yaba for that matter. What do you think? Are there places like this? What do you think the Government, Social Enterprises, Foundations, NGO's or private bodies can do to alleviate the sufferings of these people or create better facilities to help them? I would love to hear from you!
