Lekki is a posh neighbourhood in Lagos' south-eastern region. It's located beneath the Lagos Lagoon and above the Atlantic Ocean. Lekki, now one of the most expensive places to live, was once a slum known as Maroko. 

Residents of the former Maroko slum faced extremely limited economic opportunities and slum-related diseases in the 1990s. They were unable to save themselves and continued to live in a dangerous environment. 

Colonel Raji Rasaki, the then-military State Governor of Lagos, intervened by evicting them in order to rebuild. While the government's actions have been questioned, Lekki is now a high-end residential and commercial district.
