Women use a boat as they go to church in Makoko slums in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, October 11th, 2009. Houses in this slum are built on top of the sea using wood and iron sheets. The slum is inhibited mostly by immigrants from the neighbouring countries such as Ghana and Benin. The mode of movement is mainly by use of boats and canoes, while fishing is the main economic activity that takes place here, afew kilometres from the City centre in Lagos. PHOTO/STEPHEN MUDIARI
