Makoko is cleared again, and the legislature stops it

node

Lagos State demolition teams removed more than three thousand structures at Makoko from late December 2025, with UN figures reported at the time putting displacement above forty thousand people. The state cited proximity to a power line; residents and advocates described clearance for waterfront redevelopment. The Lagos State House of Assembly ordered the operation halted in February 2026.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
