The hostility we experienced was on the tour boat - several local people said 'Go Away' to us, people turned their backs, especially the women. I did think that the only significant building was a huge mosque - everything else was built of the flimsiest of stuff - and that Ganvie could so easily become a breeding ground for radicalisation.
