english: Welcome to Bayeku, a riverine community in Ikorodu, Lagos -- a vivid representation of several riverine communities across Nigeria, communities whose waterways have been infested by an invasive aquatic weed; communities where economic livelihoods have been hampered: fishing, marine transportation and trading; communities where fish yields have diminished; communities where schoolchildren are unable to go to school for days, sometimes weeks, on end.
non_english: Dobrodošli u Bajeku, rečnu zajednicu u Ikoroduu, u Lagosu - živopisni prikaz nekoliko rečnih zajednica širom Nigerije, zajednica čije je vodene tokove zahvatila invazivna vodena trava. To su zajednice u kojima je bila otežana ekonomska egzistencija - ribolov, pomorski saobraćaj i trgovina; zajednice gde su prinosi ribe smanjeni; zajednice gde su đaci sprečeni da idu u školu danima, ponekad i nedeljama uzastopno.
