Is this d reason why most people abroad think we live on trees?

This Makoko on the edge of the port city of Lagos much of it rests on structures constructed on stilts above Lagos Lagoon. Residents travel through the neighborhood by canoe, boat or over a few wooden bridges and walkways. Small children as young as 6years can be seen rowing through the canals to and from home. The area was established in the 18th century as a fishing village.

Do u think we can’t get world swimmers from ds village, if only d local governments of each state can have a training camp yearly to discover d talents of ds dwellers (inborn swimmers due 2 d nature of their environment), nurture them & equip them to challenge d international world swimming competition. Don’t u think d youths will wake up & see d beauty around them? That despite their circumstances something good can evolve from it? How long are the leaders going to play with d nation’s emotions? Send us ur comments.
