Lagos, Nigeria is the fastest growing city in the world… starting at 300,000 in 1950 to an estimated 23,000,000 by 2015…
Even smaller cities are forming inside the city, which are run by local “Big Men” who you have to bribe to do things like film their section of the city… Interestingly enough, there is no sanitation system BUT on the last Saturday (?) of the month.. from 7AM till 10AM, NO cars can be on the road and you are mandated by the government to go outside and clean up… “Sanitation is a way of life.” The “Area Boys” stealing $40 from the camera crew cause they run a certain section of the city…
They don’t have enough police, so they have Vigilante guards who do Black Magic…
Amazing…
