當政府建立百萬人大城市時，窮人通常都是最先被迫離開的。在這場感人如詩般的演說中，烏魯提美亨艾德貝耶細節說明了政府唆使之不合法土地霸佔，如何摧毀奈及利亞拉哥斯延岸社區中數以千計人的生活，來為「新杜拜」做準備。她請求我們要讓我們的政府和我們自己負責，為每個人保持城市的安全。她說：「唯一值得建造的城市，更確切說，唯一值得夢想的未來，是要包含我們所有人的，不論我們是什麼人、不論我們如何為自己建立家園。」

Sometimes I think postcolonial cities

when they were just waist-high wild grass.
54
155969
2242
及腰野草叢生的時候就將之規劃好。
02:51
He died when I was nine.
55
159353

他過世時我才九歲。
02:52
And by that time, my family,
like the families of those fisherpeople,

56
160783
3787
那時，我的家人就已經
和那些漁民的家人一樣，
和那些漁民的家人一樣，
02:56

57
164594
1546
把拉哥斯視為家鄉。
03:00
Among the Yoruba, we have a saying,
58
168133
2231
我們約魯巴人有一句諺語：
03:02
"Èkó gb’olè, ó gb’ọ̀lẹ,"
59
170388
2470
「Èkó gb’olè, ó gb’ọ̀lẹ,」
03:04
which can be translated to mean
that Lagos will welcome anyone.
that Lagos will welcome anyone.
60
172882
3715
可以翻譯為：拉哥斯歡迎任何人。
03:09
But that saying is becoming
less and less true.
less and less true.
61
177517

但那句諺語越來越沒有真實性了。

Many Lagosians, including

186509
1714
現在正在被趕出去，
03:20
to make room for an emergent city
65
188247
1703
就為了替一個被描述成
03:21
that has been described
as "the new Dubai."

66
189974

03:25
You see, Lagos inspires big dreams,
even in its leaders,

你們知道，拉哥斯能鼓舞大夢想，
甚至能鼓舞到它的領導者，

不幸的是，重心並沒有

Young children enthusiastically helped

大約五千名居民沒有地方可以去，
05:00
simply stayed put.
98

1423
就只留在原處。
05:02
And then in April,

接著，在四月，

國家安全人員回來了。
05:08
This time, they cleared
the community out completely,

這次，他們完全把社區給清除，
05:11
with beatings, bullets and fire.

Forced evictions are incredibly violent

106
318388

強迫驅逐非常暴力，
當然，也非常違反憲法。

05:35
And yet, they happen so often
in so many of our cities,
in so many of our cities,
107
323303
3293
但這種事卻經常在我們
許多的城市中發生，
許多的城市中發生，
05:38
because the first thing we are taught
to forget about poor people
to forget about poor people
108
326620
3745
因為我們被教導，關於窮人，
要忘掉的第一件事，
要忘掉的第一件事，
05:42
is that they are people.
109
330389
1423
就是他們也是人。
05:44
We believe that a home is a thing
a person absolutely has a right to,

以特定方式建立的。
05:52
But there is no single definition
of the word "home."

但對於「家」這個字，
並沒有單一的定義。

After all, what is a slum
besides an organic response

06:04
And what is a shanty if not a person
making a home for themselves

如果不是人們克服一切困難
來為自己打造的家，
來為自己打造的家，
06:08
against all odds?
117
356018
1566
那麼小屋還能是什麼？
06:11
Slums are an imperfect housing solution,
118
359195
2512
貧民窟是不完美的住房解決方案，
06:13
but they are also prime examples
of the innovation, adaptability

但它們也是創新、適應、

從心來看亦是如此，

1665
對每個功能性城市皆是。
06:24
You don't need to be the new Dubai
123
372483
2351
如果你已經是拉哥斯了，
06:26
when you're already Lagos.
124

你不需要成為新杜拜。

so now troublemakers are more likely

08:22
Rather, we must remind them

1865
在為拉哥斯畫出新邊界時，
10:20
was trying to open it up

10:22
to make room for other people

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
OluTimehin Adegbeye - Writer, activistWriting on urban development, sexual and reproductive rights, gender and queerness, OluTimehin Adegbeye resists marginalization by reminding her audiences of the validity of every human experience.
Why you should listen
OluTimehin Adegbeye is a writer and speaker who does rights-based work in the areas of urban development, gender, sexualities and sexualized violence. Her social commentary takes the form of non-fiction, auto-fiction and poetry -- as well as sometimes quite strongly worded Twitter threads. A firm believer in lived experience as a legitimate source of knowledge, she often draws her broader political analyses from personal stories.
Adegbeye identifies as a de-colonial feminist, with a political praxis rooted in Womanist and Black Feminist thought. In deconstructing how power, social services, housing, capital and other resources are distributed and/or denied within globalized societies, her ultimate goal is to reinscribe the intrinsic value of human life.
