*Orphanage Update:* We surpassed our goal for the money raised for the orphanage plus enough to keep it running for the foreseeable future in less than 24 hours ($80,000 USD). Orphanage building costs and materials, daily food for 50-60 children, clean drinking water, school fees etc. will now all be taken care of thanks to your overwhelming generosity and response to this campaign. Thanks to all who donated! I personally will be involved in fund transfer instalments, project monitoring and general overseeing of this project to ensure it is carried out in an efficient manner. If you want to see updates of the project in the future, you can stay up to date on my instagram: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ Your generosity has blown us away and now many children have a better chance at life because of your support. Much love, Nick 🖤

Helping and affecting the world around you isn't Rocket Science and Nick you've just proven that. Thank you so much for contributing your quota to the betterment of these lives and I really hope that one day Makoko would get the right doze of love and attention it deserves. A sane and responsible Government would have turned this large community into an international tourist attraction by now but whatever demon that cursed our leaders must have gone an extra mile. Once again, stay blessed Nick.

I live in Lagos, I was born and raised here. We all know Makoko, everyone has driven past this community at least a thousand times. This video makes me feel guilty that it took someone from another continent to show me how life goes 1 hour away from me. It’s a wake up call to help your neighbor in whatever little way you can, you really don’t need to be a millionaire to care for those who are unable to care for themselves

The children are happy because when you're born into a place every experience you have is built there; everything is normal. If you're a child outside playing with friend you're going to be happy anywhere. The man being interviewed is the chief's son, in comparison to those around him he is in luxury, so he will be in higher spirit. Other people smile when they see clear outsiders (white) because they're a very rare sight, especially in their neighborhood. It's like having a guest over as a kid, except the guest is a celebrity. It's sometimes true that people in these places can often times be happier, but you should keep these things in mind for greater perspective to recognize that you're never truly seeing an unfiltered picture of life.

I lived in Mali as an expat kid, the poverty i saw was worse than anything I’ve seen even by Indian standards. Yet, the poorest ppl I met seemed to be the happiest. There was one guy named Moussa who would give me peaches every morning for free that he sold. So on my way back from school everyday, I’d buy lunch for him. He kept a lookout for me and never let the others bother me. He was the sweetest man, Africans have hearts made of gold. The next generation will change the future for the better I’m sure!

Who is involved : US/UK/United nation. Imagine UN: helping the Terrorist import weapons instead of food. There you have it. Wake up Nigeria! Fix your problem NOW!

Developed countries never last because they all eventually become feminist ideology infested. Essentially causing many men to check out of society. They compensate by bringing in immigrants to offset losses in brithrate but it's a temporary fix because mixing cultures is not as easy as they make it out to be.

you are endlessly naive. there are quite a few red flags troughout the video. the guy never translated what people have said. the boy said 5 words and homie is talking 5 minutes how this boy only wants a school and then pushes him away. on top said his father the EXACT same words. mhh. then.. these CHEIF type guys are mostly schaman type priests that sell magic water and stuff to there community (3 playstations). the way he said.. if you give us money god will give you even more money in the future. this is "prosperity gospel" bullshit and came total natural to his mind. never in 10.000 years human history someone became powerfull bcs he was nice. this whole thing was planned from start to finish to give a certain expression. nigeria is quite popular for there clever ways of scamming people. he even called cheifs son the next nigerian prince rofl.. like an email scam, you cant make this up rofl.. africas main problem is that most of the money never ends in the places it was given for. bcs corrupt politics/cheifs. you only buyed this guy his new PS5 and they take the next homeless boy to impress the next naive westerners. the no gym or no training stuff was already a lie. he does at least pushups and stuff. his whole family was there you could see there genetics (normal, no one was muscular).. lol! PLUS, you dont buy money for other exchange rates on the streets. this video host bought most likely counterfeit money at the start. money has a fixed value. this whole video is so fucking NAIVE! you totally understimate how clever/creative these people are. it never came to your mind that these uneducated people could fool you highly educated "adult childs" with no real life experience. i coudl not even blame the africans.. i would do exactly the same. so.. no hate for them.. have fun with your new ps5!

You do realise that the slum is super tiny compared to Lagos? You realise that there are skyscrapers & luxury homes for thousands of kilometers in Lagos but he only chose to show you the tiny slums??? You do realise that the wealthiest black people on earth are Nigerians but he chose to avoid all the luxury but instead chose to show you where illegal immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers live an off-grid slum life??? Unfortunately, most of them who live in the tiny slum started off as refugees, illegal immigrants and asylum seekers living off-grid. The Nigerian government cannot be responsible for their wellbeing and welfare because they are stateless people. Secondly, poverty can never be eradicated on earth. This reminds me of all the poor homeless people i saw in streets of America. There were many people who had no clean water, food, heating, electricity & healthcare? Sadly, poverty is everywhere... It's the same here in the UK as well.

Don't get me wrong, I love my country and I'm thankful that I was born in a developed nation, but I feel there's an inherent downside that comes with it in the form of huge social repercussions. My relationship with my neighbours starts and ends with me saying hello to them in the morning, and there's no way I could rely on any of them for help. I asked my neighbours if they would file a police statement for me after they had witnessed someone scrape up against my car. Unfortunately I never saw it so I couldn't say who it was, although two of my neighbours saw it and told me they knew who was driving the other car. They said they would, so I called the police about it and told them my neighbours saw it - Police returned after a few minutes of talking to them with the bad news that they allegedly never saw anything. Very common behaviour here because no one wants to give a few hours to a courtroom for someone else, although the story would be different if it was them or their family that needed it.

Great comment . I don’t think that Ben Stiller will watch this but I agree it was nice and tactful the way the Chief reminded Ben Stiller . It’s rather sad when extremely wealthy people make promises to a poor community and don’t fulfil that promise . And Ben Stiller wouldn’t have to pay a penny. He could get his PA to organise a charity dinner , tickets sold to Uber wealthy people including his A lister friends . It could easily be sponsored , with raffle tickets , an auction and open donations . Btw , not to be rude but it was a school Ben Stiller said he’d build .

That child broke my heart. :( This little community on the water is pretty positive it seems. I like their system if someone commits a crime to expose them to the community and then make them leave. If their is a fight then they make them make up and make peace with each other. I hope they get the orphanage built an the children get education, food to eat, and a nice place to sleep. That way they won’t have to keep moving around sleeping and eating where and when ever they get the opportunity to. I’m going to donate to the community🤞

Kinda hoping the guy that showed you around started a daily vlog type of thing of life in the slums. He has a great personality/soul and I think he can really take off with it and Create change, not only in his life but the whole community. It would give people a more in depth look on how their surviving every day and hopefully get more people to understand the sharp contrast of how people are living outside of their own little bubble. Where do I donate to get this man a laptop and camera lol.

I can relate so much with this feeling. I've lived too in cities with very big inequality gaps and it is surreal to think about how in a less than 100 km radius someone in the same city would be living in wildly different circumstances in a slum. And while yes, I want everyone to see the nicer side of the places I love, it is so important too to shed light into the problems and show them as they are, with shades of beauty, sadness, joy and more.
