Video Living in Lagos is not a walk in the park. The insecurity is as real as the nightlife. Lagos is one the most populated cities in the world and prides itself as a land of opportunities. It is a common saying that once you can get by in Lagos, you can get by anywhere in the world.
While many issues bedevil Lagosians, the residents are famous for their resilience in the face of challenges that would have led to chaos in other cities. The one challenge that seems to have disarmed Lagosians is the flood.
For the first time, Lagosians are truly worried and can't seem to come up with a way around this. The government has listed areas to vacate to avoid been swept away by flood, but unlike their counterpart countries, Lagos State has not provided a temporary shelter for the people asked to evacuate.
You see, I was born in Lagos and raised in various parts of Nigeria, so the spirit of constantly moving forward is inbuilt . Like some would say, if you can survive in Lagos, you are good for any other location. This is because where others would give up or fought back, Lagosians focus on the goal.
So as we move forward we ask for your help towards ensuring displaced students are not denied access to education and basic healthcare needs. You can support by vising the MENITOS project website. You can choose to make a lump donation or select what you want to specifically sponsor.
