- Ajegunle is a neighbourhood located in the heart of Lagos Nigeria. It is a community within the Ajeromi- Ifelodun local government area of Lagos. In Yoruba Ajegunle means ‘wealth has landed here. On community report this week we are going into the community to see first-hand what the community looks like. And what the government needs to do to improve this community.

when i see nigeria, i just see so much potential. if we had intellectuals in power, a commitment to development, and a vision. we can turn that country into a powerhouse.
Wow! This is very shameful. I was born in that very city, AJ city. I played football on that very feild they showed. Did both my pry and secondary school there. It was very bad then. And now in 2020 its even in a worse shape siting from this documentary. In 2013, I visited Nigeria and took a trip to AJ city and wept. The conditions were beyond repair. Felt like Lagos state governor and the federal government of Nigeria have abandoned my city. This is terrible. My heart breaks for my beloved city, Ajegunle. AKA AJ City. 😢😢
It's no more a city but slum.I went to Police Barrack in Apapa in 2006 when I visited Nigeria and I could not believe the smell, it horrendous. I was asking people how could live and trade here. It was very filthy and you can see pockets of gutter everywhere. It's just ashame that there are many towns and localities in Lagos like this. I used to stay with my uncle is Olowo Ira. It's not a bad area though but the toilet and bathroom is yawk (extreemely unpleasant), I remember this as I am watching this documentary.
Damn, this feels like we are in 1910, I am still trying to understand what is happening here honestly. It feels like the community is wore torn. Nigeria should divide and stop clowning. The country is in a big mess, people living and shitting in swamp. Even that clown is still talking of palace, you don't have a community anymore and you're talking of palace.
This is where i grow up, very sad after almost 32 years of my stay in AJ no development, anyway i thank God for life.
If we really want to solve all the problems in Nigeria, every Nigerian will get a job and we will even ask foreign/guest workers to come in due to shortage of workers. It is sad that the country has not been lucky with a good leader till now. All hope is not lost. Good that they are now bringing it to national light through this television channel. Thanks for mentioning that great people have also come out of this place despite its current state.
When Trump says "shit 🕳", hmmm, this is what comes to my mind,... I'll rather stay in my village and farm than live like this.
Damn, nostalgic, the humble beginning 😊 My family used to live here in 44 Adekeye street between 1975 to 77 before we moved to Ikate Surulere. I am rooting for these school children, they'll pull through and becoming part of Ajegunle Success story. My siblings and i are professionals in different academic discipline.
It's a shame that AJ has become worst version of itself. It was far much better, cleaner albeit rundown when we lived there.
Daddy worked so hard in Apapa Wharf where he was doing clearing & forwarding to get us out of there in 2 years. Thank you, miss you, daddy RIP.
Wow! This is madness. And kids everywhere. Shouldn’t the people take a break from making babies and tidy up the place a little bit?
you need healing in your brains.....how is your suggestion in the subject matter
Nwoke Godswill kids need a better environment so yes this suggestion is valid
Yes very true, they need to stop breeding!
AJEGUNLE hast to be demolished there is no way to maintain that environment any longer, everything needs to go down and new structures built. All this fix fix and patching will not solve anything
I agree 👍
God bless Ajegunle City Lagos State
Thanks for this. Currently working on Abidemi Sanusi's Eyo, partly set in AJ , and also Chika Unigwe's On Black Sisters' Street where AJ commands an interesting aura too.
All those leaders dat put Nigeria in this situation,it will never be well with your family,all your family will go for pain to pain,calamity will fall on your family all the evil leaders in Nigeria ijn amen 😭🚶♂️
Didio Wizzy Amen...Amen...This is so painful 😢😭
Hahahahaha all those people are there enjoying big with their families ooh in good house drive good cars children going good schools
Allahuma Aameen 🤲🏽🥲
Ajegunle according to the reporter means “ wealth has landed here” What an ironic meaning to describe probably the worst ghetto in Nigeria. Ajegunle is the global shame of the federal republic of Nigeria.
The "worst" ghetto in terms of what, if I may ask?
Nigeria, and Africa is our home black people let love our people and develop our countries. No matter wherever you go your country will always be your country. Nothing can change that. To those politicians who are hampering black Africa development, please desist and repent. Your selfish interest will not be tolerated in this new Africa. This new generation of Africans are development minded. Any of my black brothers and sisters that see corruption call it out. We are not going to die in silence. Not again!!!
Nice documentary....this is n ot about only AJ City ..there r slums in almost every part of Lagos and Nigeria....
just that AJ is well known from way back as one of the oldest slums in Lagos.....
well there have been improvement...around the L.G...not everywhere in Ajegunle...is that bad...there are good houses and streets there but its not adequate enough...
The Lagos state need to do so many things for residents in Lagos as a whole...not only Ajegunle
Ajegunle and all similar slums is a crime against humanity by present and all past Nigerian governments
Clearly wealth has NOT landed there, on the contrary!
What a country is this boasting to be giants Africa my foot, may God bring good govement that will rember u guy love u guys
Ekene Udeugeu but there are ghettos even in America every nation has theirs so what are you spewing tho but government can involve on what’s on ground
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 man not like the conditions we see here. This is beyond human habitation
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 I live in London no getto here o, even the so called poor area here is far better than the towns in Lagos
@ay1ism You lie. There ghettos all over London just not to this magnitude.
Lagos state government is not ashame of puting ajegunle on internet.
This is Dgirl Ajegunle.. Born in Ajegunle many years ago.. In Lagos State Nigeria 🇳🇬 living in untied States of America.. I love Ajegunle and new York, NY MANHATTAN U.S.A.
Lagos state government really need to think on how to improve the community, Ajegunle have been abandoned for a long time.
Wow, this is indeed very useful update, thanks to channels TV team , for taking out time to acknowledge the people opinions, if you know, you know;Nigeria is occupied with a lot of deep challenges, I am indeed privileged to migrate after my high school, a proud Apapa high school student,people are often elected to sever the people not the other way around, we end up, acknowledging those our local governments chairmen, without holding them accountable for not achieving their goals and objectives for the year, forgetting that, they are our closest Buhari..
This is an indictment on the Government of Lagos State. Given the revenue being realised monthly in the State, there should be no justification for the existence of this horrendous squalor.
This belittles the worth of a State that advertises itself as "Center of Excellence.
Ajegunle is not the only one such condition in the state.
The State should live up to the claim of excellence by seriously attending to the many such places. Lagos can afford the means to do so. No matter how much money the leaders may individually have, as long as the intolerable squalor exists, their achievement is nothing but ridicule in the greater world of true development
Wow!
Ajegunle remains a fond sometimes mythical slum in my head till I saw this doc. But gov't will still send in her personnel to collect tax.
Very useless government. What a shame to a Rich country Nigeria
But there is a governor in Lagos.
Calling on all the super stars that hailed from ajegunle, please go back and help your people, the govt has failed but you can't afford to neglect your people in this deplorable state. Please wake up oh u fortunate ones from Ajegunle!! Wake up Lagos State Govt!!
Stop it.
While your politicians loot Lagos state funds. How can private citizens develop this place just because they were born there.
Nigerians need to stop running to stand up and hold their leaders accountable.
Where is the governors of Lagos State, Tinubu, Fashola and Sanwu-Olu
Their local chairman Don chop all d money in well organized countries this is where the EFCC comes in.
I’m in genuine shock. I was born and bred in Lagos and this is still baffling. I have heard and seen Makoko but this. This is different 🥺
chukwurah excel what baffles u again when u born there ,,.. igbos with hypocrisy when ur aba town looks just like this
Chris Oghenetega Maloney hmm, I don’t know what to say to you. I grew up in Lagos, never been to AJ city. Never knew it was a slum area. The only slum area I knew of prior to this video was makoko. About Aba, I haven’t been there cos I’m from delta state. Don’t be a narrow minded tribalistic bigot, all I said was that I haven’t seen AJ city like this before.
If Aba or PH, Lagos or Sokoto is bad, instead of segmenting it by tribe like you just did, instead act like a grown up and understand that we are one Nigeria.
Chris Oghenetega Maloney You are a tribalistic fool, please go away.
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799
Why bringing Igbos into this conversation..??? You can't even hide your hatred towards Igbos..This hatred/resentment towards Igbos is the main reason why Igbos want to go...The hatred is too much...
A community in which I was born into as well as raised in. It seems nothing changed. It brings to limelight the issues of poverty, bad governance, and sadly, the masses settling for less.
Why can't the government clean and sort the place out by now?! Why?!
The truth is we do not hold our local government chairman accountable. what is he doing with all the allocations given to him? the answer is nothing. he is busy buying cars with the money. it is until we rise up to make him accountable that is when we would progress.
Exactly 💯
AJ city ilu awon eniyan nla.
The city of the rugged.
Lovely Day I grew up b4
This is so unappealing and pathetic!!
Why is the Lagos State government not investing money and resources in this area? What are the basic principles of building a Mega-City when the areas that need urgent attention have been neglected for more than 3 decades?
I just imagine the stress, hardship and misery the people experience in their daily lives but the structures and roads are so bad that it is seen clearly.
Where are the Local Government and state governments intervention?
Lagos Megacity projects is a big propaganda machine to deceive investors.
Why building skyscraper large development along the Atlantic Ocean when the areas that need attention are neglected.
Who did this to Nigeria?
What about the threat of disease in the neighbourhood.
No health care facilities, bad freeways poor quality of life is clearly seen.
Just see the dirty canal and the pollution 🏭 in the area.
Flooding and crimes are visible
This is sad nigeria 2020 like time has stood still in agegunle lagos state goverment should be ashamed
God Bless all Ajegunle in Jesus name.Amen.
This environment is scaring is this actually Lagos State
So is this a part of the so call mega city!
I tire my brother
Every mega city has a slum bro, I understand how you feel but the government has failed us, this place is even better than makoko
How can those baale say government is trying?
Only the money that Lagos state govt collects from Danfo drivers and Okada by Tax force is enough to rebuild Ajegunle.Tinubu & Co👹
In another country this area would have been developed into a tourist attraction. But Nigerian leadership do not seem to understand the concept of making investments by spending money to make more money. Clean the canal, install waste management systems, build good transit systems and roads, put good hotels along the canal and turn this place into a paradise. Why build new cities around decadence?
Dgirl Ajegunle agogor.. Lovely place. I was born.. Many years ago..
Relocation and redevelopment is the way forward ,but how?
Did I just hear the news reader say 57 thousand people?
Oh channels TV why?.. for your info AJ city has more than a million people staying in it
This is a very dis-hearting and unhuman environment to humans,it is very rear for someone to progress in this type of environment; take a look of the dirty water full of lavas .it is a pity and I think Lagos state Govt should help.
After 50years of independence,look at Ajegunle in Nigeria?
It could have been better to remained under colonial master!
yearly allocation goes to their accounts?
Everything’s will end in six feet!
Who is going to change Nigeria from all these mess?
When?
Nigeria the giant of Africa!
Bless Nigeria with good leaders oh LORD,Amin
The whole country is in dire need of help.
Thanks 👍
when doing a story about AJ, u do a story that covers a large part of it, just one area... ajegunle is massive ..
is this what Nigeria has reached to at this stage?
Global 1 Federal express kenya has five slums in one city so what are u saying every big city has one or two slums like is not the truth..
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 not every city oga. Stop defending the indefensible. The conditions here is not even suitable for pigs talk more of human beings
Life goes on
GOD death is better than some conditions in that place, look at environment where humans are staying, like animals.
diweri ere we want to go to heaven with this kind of behaviour
That wasn’t necessary, we pray help gets to These people..
Government has failed them woefully! But certainly those stars that made it out of there could help fix one or two things there. After seeing this, I beg to agree with Trump without apology.
I just couldnt watch this, i wasnt born with a silver spoon, but this is realy bad. Nigerians are strong. this same people will still vote for more suffering after 4 years, how gullible... may GOD forgive these politicians
Expired country living on borrowed time. I do not see any way forward. Listen to the leaders here, they are talking about security, not even how to make the community clean and fit for humans. What do you want to secure again inside this kind of dilapidation? People will be dieng everyday because of infections and they will be calling village people. I feel so sad viewing this.
Lagos expired not entire Nigeria 😑 Have you seen the development in Enugu, Uyo, Alex Otti total rehabilitation of Abia State, ebonyi, Port Harcourt etc.
Any yet this is the Lagos Tinubu developed that we won't word for one second.
PITIFUL. Shame on Black Governments.
Compensate people, Government should sell the Lands to Property investors for development.
Alexboateng Boateng if investors develop the area, the current occupants won’t be able to afford the rent. They would simply go else where to create another slum and the cycle of poverty continues.
The authority should put this country on the auction market. I will want to use the land for plantation and employ the Zoo population
Did you hear when they mentioned all the good people that have come out of this place despite it shortcomings? I believe they also mentioned someone from your region that has come out positively from AJ. Maroko, Lagos was once like this and the government improved it in the 1990s. Unlike Maroko, it will be nice they relocate the current inhabitants to another well designed area and then redevelop AJ.
When will SanwoOlu visit Ajegunle with his development plan? Is Ajegunle not part of Lagos State? All throughout Tinubu’s 8 years as the governor of Lagos State, what did he do to better the lives of the residents of Ajegunle?
The individuals have to also come together & put hands together.Always blame Goverment, we knw they dont help.but this ppl also make kids without plans.Nigerians dont help ,everyone in their own.Divided ppl...Country without no focus,fake Rulers ✌
Mr olaiwola spoke very well
I dont understand all the praises Lagos state governors recieve for their so called good works. Is this not part of Lagos?
very sad look at their street
It's was work in progress, when the female house of rep was there, but after magogo to get her out.... Lo this is the result 😔
Una Dey call government now abi? When them go come scatter una house, una go understand.
OSZE, it's not about demolishing the houses of the poor, it's about providing them with affordable housing and a truly humane living condition, after all, who is the government? For your information, the people make the government. You and your neighbors make up the government, there will be no government without you, your families, neighbors, and their families.
@@truthfiction8408👌 💯
@@truthfiction8408if you can't afford a particular city, there's nothing wrong with moving to where you can afford. Even the US government can't provide housing for it's poor let alone Nigeria.
For their own health and life they need to move and the place demolished.
Come here because odian become a Manchester United player

Why will you invite the ministry of environment to come and arrest people. They should provide an area and a better way of disposing waste first.
Gosh people live here
Madam Idowu it’s not located in the heart of LAGOS
it's mam...there is no place in Lagos, that you can't get easily from there
Fat lies...Emmanuel Amunike isn't Ajegule brought up please.. Emma is from my street in Sari Igamu... This is a terrible journalism
Who cares that some footballer is from some place? When there is a shithole like Ajengunle.
No body is about light in Nigeria
All this baale make una help with the money una Dey get too. What a shame
Ajegunle produced so many celebrities who just took their bags and RUN away to Victoria Island or VGC after Ajegunle made them. Absolutely, nothing like social responsibility or giving back to the community who made them. To Nigerians is ALWAYS govt responsibility to fix everything. Shame.
Most celebrities made their fame through aristo-prostitution , they do not have as much as they are claiming and the little they have is for their dresses, shoes and bags in other to take their workshop to the next level and for better marketing.
It's not their responsibility to fix Ajegunle. What's wrong with Nigerians being so afraid to stand up to their criminal leaders but instead expect private citizens rich or poor to pick up their slacks.
If you're one of those celebrities, would you invest all of your hard earned money rehabilitating this place? People just regurgitating rubbish.
Private citizens can pick up one charity to sponsor may be school lunch, clean water, textbooks, scholarships in their former elementary or secondary schools to support the current students, but in no way would they have the capability to engage in massive reconstruction of Ajegunle.
nothing will help those lost souls, if any other place in the world, had the natural resources they have, they would rule the world. saudi, kuwait, uae, Iran is a world force, even with u.s. lead sanctions
It saddens me to know that all these great ex footballers and stars who have made it out of the said ghetto can't come seem to do something to elevate the community, hence "AJEGUNLE TO THE WORLD"
Randy Osad it costs billions to resucitate an entire town,where will these footballers get the billions from? to transform Ajegunle.
It's not the private citizens' responsibility to develop any part of the state. It's governmental responsibilities. In your theory, you're OK for the politicians to loot public funds while private citizen do the development with their hard earned money? How many places have you developed?
Sad
The environment is very bad
The so called giant of Africa
rainy zeazon is bad：)

Still the same aj
Crime comes from UNMET BASIC NEEDS...Get- it??????
Let me guess: Thats in Nigeria. Haha next level Buhari. Enjoy
This Baale is greatly misinformed. STOP WRITING LETTERS!!!! TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR AREA!!! CLEAN IT YOURSELF!!!
Why would a govt official living in Lekki care about what is going on here? They are less concerned. You live there!!! Clean it!!
Ajegunle-jungle city.
Government will soon take over it as it took over Maroko and sold it to the rich !
this is long ago.....thing have improved a bit...but its still a slum
😖🇳🇬
Too much cement
They lacking insights.......fools
hope the world is not looking at this documentary.
It's not a secret that Nigeria has been bastardised by our gullbl leaders. The world knows they've raped the country of good governance an the world is watching.
Global 1 Federal express na today how about Kenyans five slums
Asia has super slums too
Lets Kenyans worry about their slams you worry and work on yours
Chris Oghenetega Maloney I’ve been to Kenya and it’s 1000% times better than Nigeria. FYI they do have constant power, decent roads and very affordable WiFi. I can’t say the same about Nigeria.
Only capitalism can develop Nigeria.
nigeria is very poor oh my god
For my understanding here majority of the population here is yolubas , you and I knows that yolubas enjoys living in this kind of environment nothing can be done in the situation than govt to take over the environment with compensation
Na yoruba occupy those pako area with opc group
Fool has switched switched to tribe calling, go there and see Ur tribes men and women living there I mass. Fool
overpopulation is Nigeria's problem but they Bragg about it. thinking its something to brag about. hahahahaha
Tee X and that too.
Tee X overpopulation is more of a problem. We simply don’t have enough resources to cater for the rapidly growing population even if the funds are properly managed.
