I Became a Lagos Street Sweeper for 24 Hours… The Pay Shocked Me

Imagine becoming a Lagos street sweeper for 24 hours to experience the real life of sanitation workers in Nigeria — and what I discovered shocked me.

Many people assume Lagos sweepers don’t earn much money, but very few people have actually tried the job themselves. In this video, I decided to work as a Lagos street sweeper for a full day, cleaning roads, sidewalks, and public spaces to understand the daily struggles, salary, working conditions, and reality of sweepers in Lagos State.

This is not a documentary from the outside — this is a real-life social experiment. I show what it’s like to work long hours under the hot sun, wake up early, deal with traffic, and survive on the low wages paid to sanitation workers in Lagos. You’ll see the physical stress, emotional toll, and the respect these workers deserve but rarely get.

If you’ve ever wondered:

This video also highlights poverty in Nigeria, cost of living in Lagos, blue-collar jobs in Africa, unseen workers, and the importance of dignity in labor. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every clean street is a human being working hard to survive.
