Hidden at the back of one of the biggest business districts of Ikeja in the Mega-City Lagos, is a little-known shanty - commonly called "Monkey Village" by those who live there.

"Monkey's do come out from the canal to visit us - that's why this place is called Monkey Village," explains our narrator - who preferred not to give his name but described himself as a "Ghetto King-Pin".

"The reason I put 'ghetto' in the name is because this place is like you are living in the street - it's a ghetto," he says.

"There's no work and there's no money!" shouts his friend in the background.

Check out "Monkey Village" in Ikeja, Lagos here.

Ikeja district in Lagos sits close to the Lagos Government offices in Alausa and also the business street Allen Avenue. At the back of these thriving areas, over-looking the Ikeja canal is the shanty or slum where people from all varieties of backgrounds live in wooden shacks with corrugated roofs.

"I call it a 'Global Ghetto'," explains King-Pin. "We have the Cotonous living here, the Togolese, the Ghanaians, the South Africans."

And it's not just monkeys that come to the village as King-Pin describes seeing Bush-Pig, Crocodiles and snakes:

"We've even killed a python right here!"
