Lagos is a city in the country of Nigeria what are home to 12 to 20 million people. Lagos is one of the fastest production for people moving into this city, most of which live in slums. In the world there over 1 billion people living in slums so Lagos might not seem like much but estimated in 2015 there will be another 3 million people and over the years this population will keep on rising. One of the main problems of Lagos is that the slums are built on sewage water therefore making it dirty. Another issue is that there are no rubbish bins making litter to be scattered in the drains or on the ground they walk on. A critical issue is that mosquitoes are attracted to there waste and therefore spreads malaria across the land. One of the Fascinating things about Lagos is how there they are still there and people misjudge their capabilities because they live poorly. The electricity is hacked in the slums and this is partly why they are still here. There are rules in the slum and some of which cost money like if you want a bridge it will cost you this is a way of how some people live on. Most people living in the poor parts of Lagos tend to do whatever they can to gain money due to the lack of jobs Most people sell whatever they can on the passers by but normally with people in cars. Traffic is another main issue in Lagos and the traffic drives at a crawling pace. This is were the poorer people sense an opportunity and they sell to people while walking with the cars this is call ‘roaming markets’ but there’s is a down side to this poverty some of the more unintelligent people try there approach a little different. These people instead of selling stuff rob people these are known as the ‘area boys’. Even though Lagos is a dirty place they do try to keep it clean so once a year they has what’s known as an environmental day on this day everyone has to go round the city collecting litter also there is not aloud any traffic so everyone does not work. Most people come to start a new life off some people do enjoy it while others don’t I do think if Lagos sorted its 3 main problems what are hygiene population and crime it would be a new city.
