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’.
