Netizens react to the video of the slum

Several netizens were bothered about the residents' plight and took to the comments to share their thoughts. YEN.com.gh samples some reactions below.

Nate Jones said:

That guy in the green sweater was seriously so down to earth. Truly puts your life into perspective when you see someone like him being so positive even under the circumstances. I mean they don’t know much difference. But just the fact these people are alive is enough for them to have a smile on their faces. Take notes people.

G B commented:

No matter how many times I've watched your videos I'm still shocked at just how hard a lot of people are living

I’m Ghanaian and I would be scared to death to visit some of these places, love every bit of your videos. I’m praying and hoping that our governments see the aftermath of their self-centred and corrupt practices through your lens.

Zach K remarked:

As a Canadian, I hope that man gets all his dreams and wishes fulfilled. Seems like a very bright positive man and one that just wants to work hard and do honest work.
