This is a BBC documentary about living in Lagos Nigeria. It was recommended by a colleague. It is a documentary over 3 episodes, the first episode focuses and follows the lives of a struggling musician/rapper and a father taking care of his family. Both work in a rubbish dump collecting and selling items they find.

It also briefly come across different people and how they make a living in this unbelievable place. How order is maintained, how problems are solved, daily issues.

It is so amazing, how people live in such conditions and manage to keep smiling, if one finds clothes in the dump, they say, “GOD has blessed me today!”. I was very touched and felt blessed beyond words.

So many different dialects, cultures and religion, yet they work side by side, communicating in English, and manage to go on living.
