The Lagos State government has refuted viral social media assertions that the city is plagued by foul smells and mosquitoes. The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, was reacting to a controversial podcast appearance by online personality, Scott Iguma, who during the interview, said; Lagos is smelling There are a lot of big mosquitoes in Lagos.  The remarks quickly gained traction online, sparking widespread debate.  Reacting via his official X account,  Wahab, criticised what he described as a calculated attempt to discredit the states image. In  The commissioner accused certain individuals of exploiting their online influence to push misleading narratives that align with divisive agendas and undermine the citys progress. He stated that the same people who left their states to seek greener pastures in Lagos have become the ones doing everything to disrepute the image of the state. He asked such people to focus their attention on other states as well. His post reads; The deliberate efforts by a handful of individuals to tarnish the reputation of Lagos State are deeply concerning. It is regrettable that some who relocate from their home states in pursuit of better opportunities quickly, in less than a month or two, resort to disparaging the very state that has provided them the platform to thrive. Leveraging social media followings, these individuals propagate harmful narratives, often aligned with divisive agendas, undermining the progress and inclusivity that Lagos represents. While constructive criticism is essential for growth, malicious attempts to vilify a state that empowers countless lives daily are counterproductive. Lagos remains a place of opportunity, innovation, and resilience, and it is imperative that we collectively uphold its integrity while fostering unity and progress. Dear @IgumaScott I do hope that you will put this same energy in looking out for other states. I wish you all the best! TW''Watch the video of the social media personality speaking about Lagos below     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Put this same energy in looking out for other states - Lagos Commissioner for Environment tells influencer who is critical about Lagos real estate sector and insists the state smells appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
