The water has already turned black, showing it has been in that dormant state for a long time.
How Aminat survives in the slum
When quizzed, Aminat, a 300 level biology education student, revealed that her mum is late and her father is not buoyant, making her solely responsible for her upkeep.
According to Aminat, she earns N40k as a private lesson teacher, which she uses to support her school and other needs. She has lived in the water-logged slum for over 10 years.
Aminat positioned crates in the slum house to provide a platform on which she could stand and place other household items.
@ositapopcorn made a video of where Aminat lives and promised to help her get better accommodation. @ositapopcorn offered her N50k for the time being.
