Afro-Cool-Jazz sound-documentary depicting the trails and tribulation of the poor and homeless people of Maroko - Listen to their cries for compensation and quest for survival in the grimy gutters and under the bridge ... a place were these many call home....

On October 15th 1990, with less than one week to quit notice announced over the radio, government bulldozers backed by military armoured vehicles, armed soldiers and police personnel demolished Maroko, Nigeria’s largest single slum community, leaving an estimated 300,000 without shelter. Homes, schools, hospitals and businesses were destroyed and over twenty cases of rape were recorded during the evictions while hundreds of others were beaten, tortured, shot or detained by the security forces. The government ruled out any prospect for compensation or resettlement of the displaced families.

A decade later, less than 3% of the Maroko evictees had been resettled. The vast majority of them remained homeless with no hope of redress for their material losses and psychological pain and suffering. Worse still, during this period, no less than 25 other slum communities were wholly or partially evicted without compensation, resettlement or rehabilitation.
