Introduction

According to Mike Davis author of planet of slums, nearly 80% of Nigeria's urban population, or some 41.6 million people, live in a slum. A slum is where people go to save money when they have very little money or no money. The slum is a very crowed place to live in. Slums can be very bad for people. Slums have a negative impact on humans because those who live in slums must drink dirty water, are prone to diseases, and live near to or in a sewage. Althought slums help people to save money but they also have a down side to live in a slum.
