Have you heard of Nigeria’s Kidnapping dilemma?
Kidnapping is a brutal reality for thousands in northern Nigeria, yet it’s often reduced to mere numbers. But each abduction is a nightmare that ruins lives especially for those living through it.

Makoko: Life in the World’s Largest Floating Slum
As Lagos’ economy soars, the disparity grows wider, and the living conditions in Makoko are a stark reminder of Nigeria’s deep-rooted inequality. The slum, built on stilts over murky waters is home to thousands of families living in hazardous and unsanitary conditions, with little hope for improvement. Economists worry that if this inequality persists, it could fuel greater insecurity in Lagos and beyond. Watch our recent report here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04uzN...

Watch the full report here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdvg6...
