Most of you have heard different tales about the notorious Bariga. Here are photos from a part of the area.
This side is the Araromi street side of Bariga which is dominated by the ‘Ilajes’ and the ‘Eguns’ and their most popular occupation there is fishing because the area faces the ocean around the Third Mainland Bridge.
Here, there is extreme poverty, as in E-X-T-R-E-M-E P-O-V-E-R-T-Y. Most of the women roast fish to survive, many of the ladies and guys take to all types of vices.
There is only one school in the area(pictured below) provided by a white man who visited the area sometime ago.
Yet, there are all sorts of talents in there. From rapping to dancing, the youths of the Barigahood possess them in abundants.
But it looks like government sees the people in this slum as outcasts because development is far away from that area, yet it’s in a Mega City called Lagos.
Past government rather than contributing to developing the area, visit some parts to destroy houses and render many homeless.
Thus, the people have come to develop a deep hatred for the word ‘government’.
Meanwhile, the guys and babes in this hood no dey smile at all O and their eyes dey red die! (if you know what we mean)
