當政府要起大城市嘅時候，窮人經常最先被迫離開。OluTimehin Adegbeye 喺呢場令人感動嘅演講裡邊，詳細講明尼日利亞政府為咗起「新杜拜」而帶頭非法霸佔土地， 以致摧毀尼日利亞拉哥斯沿海社區數以千計居民嘅生活。佢認為一個城市嘅市民同政府都要為自己嘅城市負責。佢話：「無論每一個人點樣都好，第時建造嘅城市，或者未來行嘅路，都必須照顧到每一個人。」

About 60 years later, my grandfather,

將生滿野草嘅爛地
02:47

規劃成繁榮嘅市區
02:51
He died when I was nine.
55
159353
1406
佢過身嗰陣我先至九歲
02:52
And by that time, my family,
like the families of those fisherpeople,
like the families of those fisherpeople,
56
160783
3787
嗰時，我嘅屋企人
就好似當初嘅漁民一樣
就好似當初嘅漁民一樣
02:56
knew Lagos as home.
57
164594
1546
已經當拉哥斯係自己嘅家鄉
03:00
Among the Yoruba, we have a saying,
58
168133
2231
我哋約魯巴人有句話：
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

但係呢嗰句話越嚟越假
03:12
Many Lagosians, including
the descendants of those fisherpeople

1714
宜家正被趕走
03:20
to make room for an emergent city
65
188247
1703
因為一個就嚟成為「新杜拜」嘅城市
03:21
that has been described
as "the new Dubai."

66
189974

已經容唔落佢哋
03:25
You see, Lagos inspires big dreams,
even in its leaders,

Unfortunately, instead of focusing

70
204213
3553
唔好彩嘅係
政府嘅策略唔係幫窮人擺脫貧困
03:39
as you would expect,
71
207790
1503
03:41
the strategy of choice focuses
on eliminating the poor.

亦冇處可走
05:02
And then in April,

然後喺四月
05:04
state security personnel came back.
100

Forced evictions are incredibly violent

and, of course, unconstitutional.
106
318388

呢種強硬同暴力嘅手段當然違反憲法
05:35
And yet, they happen so often
in so many of our cities,
in so many of our cities,
107
323303
3293
但係呢種事件已經
喺太多嘅城市度發生
喺太多嘅城市度發生
05:38
because the first thing we are taught
to forget about poor people
to forget about poor people
108
326620
3745
因為我哋第一件被洗腦嘅事就係︰
05:42
is that they are people.
109
330389
1423
窮人唔係人
05:44
We believe that a home is a thing
a person absolutely has a right to,
a person absolutely has a right to,
110
332592
3383
我哋相信
除咗窮，或者起屋起得唔妥當之外
05:47
unless the person is poor
and the home is built a certain way
and the home is built a certain way
111
335999
2974
任何人都有權利擁有一間屋
05:50
in a certain neighborhood.
112
338997
1349
05:52
But there is no single definition
of the word "home."
of the word "home."
113
340891
3438
但係「屋」嘅定義唔淨得一個
05:57
After all, what is a slum
besides an organic response

其實，貧民窟係咪就係

115

And what is a shanty if not a person
making a home for themselves
making a home for themselves
116
352811
3183
簡陋乜唔係反映咗
窮人排除萬難幫自己起到間屋咩？
06:08
against all odds?
117
356018
1566
06:11
Slums are an imperfect housing solution,
118
359195
2512
貧民窟雖然唔係完美嘅住屋方案
06:13
but they are also prime examples
of the innovation, adaptability
of the innovation, adaptability
119
361731
3693
但係有創新、適應力同韌力
06:17
and resilience at the foundation --
120
365448
2726
呢三樣嘢
係每一個健全城市嘅核心
06:20
and the heart --
121
368198

06:21
of every functional city.
122
369609
1665
06:24
You don't need to be the new Dubai
123
372483
2351
我哋已經有拉哥斯嘞
所以就唔需要有第二個杜拜！
06:26
when you're already Lagos.

Without its poor, Lagos would not

冇咗呢班窮人，拉哥斯就唔會有
遠近聞名嘅音樂

441838
2754
07:36
They know every trick and every hideout,
147
444616
2126
因為飛仔最知壞人嘅路數
所以揾佢哋來捉賊最啱
07:38
so now troublemakers are more likely
to get caught and reported to police

同埋國家功能嘅喪失
08:09
When our governments
frame slums as threats

158
477386

但我哋嘅政府將貧民窟當成係威脅

in order to justify violent land grabs

159

08:14
they're counting on those of us
who live in formal housing

160
482946

政府會叫我哋默許佢哋嘅所作所為
08:17
to tacitly and ignorantly agree with them.
161
485935
3798
08:22
Rather, we must remind them
162
490635
2018
反之，我哋要提醒政府
08:24
that governments exist to serve
not only those who build

163
492677
2621
唔應該只為起豪宅同住豪宅嘅人服務

495322
1503
08:28
but also those who clean and guard them.

The Lagos state government,

拉哥斯州政府就好似非洲太多嘅政府噉
08:45
like far too many on our continent,
171
513818

08:47
pays lip service to ideas of inclusion,
172

口口聲聲話包容
08:50
while acting as though
progress can only be achieved

577931
2727
09:53
We are all already here,
193
581435
3437
我哋嘅存在足以講明邊個屬於呢度
09:56
and that answers the question
194
584896
2239
09:59
of whether or not we belong.

it could not have occurred to them

佢哋可能都諗唔到
10:10
that the city that would
rise up around them

呢個城市發展之後
會唔再認佢哋屬於呢度

I like to believe that my grandfather,
201

2192
我諗我爺爺喺度劃定拉哥斯嘅新邊界時
10:19
in mapping new frontiers for Lagos,
202
607041
1865
10:20
was trying to open it up
203
608930
1911
佢係想將個城市開放
10:22
to make room for other people
to be welcomed by the city
to be welcomed by the city
204
610865
3014
來歡迎其他人來遷入
10:25
in the same way that he was.
205
613903
1659
就好似佢曾經俾歡迎佢咁
10:28
On my way here, my grandma called me
206
616728
2845
喺我嚟呢度嘅路上
我嘅嫲嫲打電話畀我
10:31
to remind me how proud she was,
207
619597
2737
同我講佢以我為傲
10:34
how proud [my grandfather]
and my mother would have been.
and my mother would have been.
208
622358

話如果我爺爺同媽咪仲在世嘅話
佢哋亦會以我為榮
佢哋亦會以我為榮
10:37
I am their dreams come true.
209
625735
2577
因為我實現咗佢哋嘅夢想
10:41
But there is no reason why their dreams --
or mine, for that matter --
or mine, for that matter --
210
629463
4994
但係冇理由
佢哋同我可以實現夢想
而其他人嘅夢想就變成噩夢
10:46
are allowed to come true
211
634481
1372
10:47
while those of others
are turned to nightmares.

212
635877
2434
10:51
And lest we forget:
213
639300
1517
我哋冇忘記：
10:53
the minimum requirement for a dream
214
641384
2199
冇落腳嘅地方就冇實現夢想嘅地方
10:56
is a safe place to lay your head.

not for the hundreds of thousands,

仲未太遲
11:13
The world does not have to remain blind
221
661368
2826
呢個世界需要正視
11:16
to the suffering that is created

我哋唔當窮人係人時

224
671985

We must hold our governments
225
677379

我哋必須要求政府同埋自己

226
680018
1705

accountable
227
681747

對城市裡面每一個人嘅安居負責
11:35
for keeping our shared cities safe
for everyone in them,
for everyone in them,
228
683191
3708
11:40
because the only cities worth building --
229
688092
2189
因為唯一值得建造嘅城市
11:42
indeed, the only futures
worth dreaming of --
worth dreaming of --
230
690305
3958
又或者唯一可以講夢想嘅將來
11:46
are those that include all of us,
231
694287
2033
就係會唔理身份
生活方式同經濟情況
11:49
no matter who we are
232
697009
2253
11:51
or how we make homes for ourselves.

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.
