Kai!
ReplyDeleteGod abeg!! See that woman with an infant living under a bridge, this just made me feel sad. Imagine the kind of life that baby will be exposed to.🥹
DeleteI Saw the video yesterday on fbk.
ReplyDeletee really 🫨 me, lagos nawa.
Come to 🤔 of it who is their landlord ?
I kept watching the video and I am thinking 🤔 could these people be ok mentally? 🤔 Like under bridge? Or just to belong among those living in the island? God have mercy😮
ReplyDeleteHow will they even be ok when vehicles are running on their heads .
DeleteI thought that too at first but I realised they probably work nearby
Deleteno be small thing
ReplyDeletethey are not even afraid
Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIt's well
250k for a space under the bridge? Is there anyone in Lagos that is normal?
ReplyDeleteMadness escalated. Unless they are daily beggars or doing other kinds of street work to make their income. Better they return to their village or a mid level town and start over.
DeleteSo you believe that 250k story? Do these people look like they have 250k? 250k that can get you a decent self-con is what someone will pay to live in a tiny space under the bridge. When the person is not ment.
DeleteThe story is not impossible. Are there not some places where gangs claim control and you have to a pay head tax to enter or exit, many places around the world. Perhaps a gang has claimed control of the location and folks have to pay. But the story could very well be false.
Delete18:22, decent self con ke? Where in Lagos, it can get them one room self con in the hinterlands like a new site in ikorodu but not a decent one.
DeleteHouses are pricey in Lagos but it is not by force that they should live in Lagos if they cannot go to areas where their pockets can carry.
I think they are not ok upstairs cos how do they sleep with all the vehicles that pass day and night?
Anon 18:22, it is very very very possible. It has been happening for ages in lagos.
DeleteSome people in isale Eko even pay per day to sleep in spaces within a house.
Have you not seen those agberos collecting money from street hawkers who have no apportioned spaces to sell in the market? Like you pay to drop your wares on some tiny space on the ground.
That money can get them a room,in that same lagos. This to show you that, some people are not normal.
ReplyDeleteA room comes with rules and someone telling them when they can come and go, so it may not work for them. Mental illness is a major component of homelessness, mental healthcare and social transition must be a part of any rehousing effort for those who are living rough. Without address these aspects they cannot adjust successfully to a structured living environment and the social demands of the society, especially if addiction is part of the equation.
DeleteYou Sabi. It can get them one room but not in the island or even decent part of mainland, they have to go to okokomaiko, ikorodu, ijegun, ajegunle,etc
DeleteOf course the money can get them a decent room in a face me,I slap you in most places in lagos with commission and agreement included.
DeleteI don't want to believe they pay that much only if they are into illegal business or mentally unfit.
1room for 250k? You guys are really suffering in that state honestly. So house rent is this expensive over there? Here it's 150k for good self contained.
DeleteThat same hustling that people do in Lagos can also be done in other states naaaa?
@ Slim, I had some cousins born and raised in the city who were going through some real rough times and they refused to come to their family land in the village. I think many of them are under some kind of mesmerism with the hustle and bustle of city life and living in the countryside just seems too boring for them. They preferred to stay and endure whatever they were going through. Others are ashamed of returning with nothing, and having not made anything of themselves. The spirit of shame is a shackle that keeps many in bad situations of life. We need to be kinder and more loving to each other, especially those who have been battered by life.
DeleteI thought they were crazy at first but thinking about it changed my mind. How much will they spend on transport to and fro if they work on the island and use the 250k to rent a self-contained on the outskirts? How many hours will it take them to commute to work? I've seen a documentary about such accommodation somewhere in Japan. However, It was built with soundproof materials to reduce the noise.
DeleteMe am normal o.
ReplyDeleteSeems you are one of the occupants.
DeleteDo you stay there?
DeleteMust they stay in Lagos?
ReplyDeleteBut who is the landlord there, who collects the 250k rent?
Exactly my question oo
DeleteVery sickening 😒😒😒
ReplyDeleteHow do they even sleep at night?
ReplyDeleteLagos roads that are busy 24/7, vehicles will be passing over their heads day and night, are they normal?
See that one with small baby, so they are even gbenshing and giving birth there. Madness!
They should check other bridges in that Lagos o. There may be more.
You don't know the condition that led them into taking such decision. Wait until you be in their shoes. At least BV Vicky J has explained something meaningful
DeleteSlim when run into hard times in the city where you live currently, go and live u der a bridge, you hear?
DeleteSome of the may have small work on the island, even though the money can get them a room self contained else where by the time they add transportation fare to work daily they will be in debt. Hence they pay rent to live there. It is well with them oo.
ReplyDeleteStill doesn't make sense abeg
DeleteIt does not make sense still. Must they work on the island?
DeleteMy mouth literally hung open when I saw that video yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHow do you sleep under a bridge for a while 250k per annum?? I wasn't very shocked though.
My mum told me of how as far back as the 70s, people would pay monthly rent to sleep on those long passages of face me I slap you apartments located within isale Eko/idumota in the name of proximity to their place of work. Like people are just paying for a place to sleep overnight and they do that for years (they get in very late and wake up before 5am to take their baths outside and vamoose before the main/legit occupants of the rooms in the house wake up).
Lagos State is wilddddd.
They still do that in major markets in Lagos.In most cases,they also pay to bath in the morning.
DeleteNa hustle ooooo
There was a time they allegedly did “rotational” sleeping in some parts of the island…. You sleep for 5 or so hours, then another person takes over to sleep.
DeleteI am old enough to remember the days when you needed both odd and even numbered cars in Lagos as traffic was so bad (before third mainland bridge) that only even numbered cars were permitted on some days and odd numbered cars on the next etc.
Some could be the “I must live in Lagos types”, while some could be in trouble mentally. Yet another group are the working poor domestic staff of unreasonable rich Nigerians who pay low wages not minding what it can get their staff. I have a relative with no real good source of income that I tried to persuade to move out of Lagos about fifteen years ago, she refused. I helped pay high rent for years and got tired of her stubborn irrational decision making when she could have done more with the money elsewhere. Now she lives on the outskirts.
These folks may be the drivers to some big men who unreasonably ask their driver to resume at 6am with 40k salary not minding the distance the money can house them and the cost of transporting themselves to VI to drive madam and oga. It may also be street food sellers as the woman breastfeeding “appeared” normal though addiction could be a factor.
