@Kim-by5uy he's trying to clean the Augean stable that is Lagos literally speaking. It's a herculean task for anyone to take on, keep in mind he's held the reins for only a year or so.
I am surprised to see a Nigerian government official, state government for that matter, with his kind of know-how! The talking heads though, seems like they have an agenda. They can't even get their facts straight.
I am willing to work with Lagos state regarding these issues. In fact, Lagos state will generate money from my ideas. However, these folks are not willing to listen to our ideas. The flooding issue can be resolved easily. I wrote a project a couple of years ago regarding infrastructure and drainages. I asked someone to give it to then governor Fashola. I believe it didn't get to him because nothing was implemented. It's possible to resolve these issues.
Yeah, armchair administrator! Lagos, with this kind of minister conversant on the issue, has got its ducks in a row. However, we have Nigerians deliberately making life hard for other Nigerians. We are our own worst enemies. In the part of the world that I live, this is not the time to make money, but to band together and help each other, but not Nigerians. What is wrong with us?
I like this, Mr Wahab. His humility is infectious. Mr Rufai Oseni is a very smart person, and his questions are often not easy to answer, but Wahab skillfully averted Rufais staccato, which often comes when you irk him by lying or trying to deceive when you are a Public official. Wahab is a true Public servant.
The commissioner chap is a sound fellow, he actually means nothing but the best in resolving the flooding...wish him all the best! However there is still a long way to go, also Eko Atlantic also contributes to some of these rainy season calamities ..the land reclamation has forced the sea waters to spill along other parts of the lagos coast shorelines ..
I like how moderate and objective the interviewers and the guest interacted. Though the Lagos government needs to do more than what we have on the ground. Creating major artificial canals in those low ground level areas, will really help.
This guy is just amazing. Cool and calm. He knows his stuff and needs our total support. Government can’t do it alone. We as citizens must be responsible and respectful to our environment.
While I applaud the good work of our media houses, I could see that practically all of you are having to rely on the amateur videos, instead of setting out with drones and your own devices.

I think it is time to start a new development plan for Lagos to decongest the city. The last rain has shown that most of the entire Lagos are flood plains. If we had three days of nonstop rain in Lagos it would be a disaster
How people get enticed into purchasing landed properties in Lagos at exorbitant prices still remains amazing to me. Rather than spending such amount in Abuja and Lagos, why not take such huge amounts to where humans reside, places where proper planning would have been done as well as environmental impact assessment analysed.

There hasn't been any flood around lafenwa ogun state. The rain fell heavily and the gutters were filled with water. The road were dried off yesterday.
I am still puzzled why land or landed properties are more expensive in the island than the mainland, considering that the island is prone to flooding than the main land. I live in an estate in ikotun for over 5 years now and have never experienced flooding
You can not compare the level of development on the island with that of the mainland; all the white people stay on the island close to the sea for two simple reasons: relaxation and an easy escape route. lol
When Nigeria starts carrying out full package projects consistently, we wouldn't suffer all these issues. When budget is raised for roads and all supporting infrastructure such as covered drainage with standard depth, side walk and so on, they would just slap the ground with substandard asphalt, no drainage no side walks, nothing and they call it project when the full money was budgeted. We are suffering the consequences of this stupidity. Every state in Nigeria has a plan and I mean a world class plan that rivals the world power nations but the government does not follow/enforce the plan because some people want to keep pinching the budget like litttle children that can't resist pinching on the bread their mother bought for breakfast that is why Nigeria is like a big village.
Mr Wahab well said and the arise presents, no body can cheat with nature, it happens in western communities as well, same thing happened in Germany June 2 precisely between Donau and ingolstadt. Well done job but Nigeria government should work more on drainage and west on the street.
Rufai,thanks for asking the young commissioner pertinent questions. Can he pls explain why Deeper Life church head quarter was built on a water collecting point by Tinubu to pastor Kumuyi? Gbagada,Ifako axis are flooded whenever it rains as a result of this building.
Who is the idiot who told you the crap thot tinubu built the deeper life church and your fellow ignorant people are liking your senseless comments.the deeper life church had been built several years long before tinubu ever dream of becoming Lagos state governor
No amount of persuasion will ever make me purchase any property in Lagos. Despite the insecurity in Plateau State, it will be easier for me to purchase property in Jos than in Lagos. Not even one thing interests me about Lagos. Is it the daily shoulder to shoulder engagements or the degree of entropy that is associated with stroke and heart attacks 😢😢
If most states in nigeria are like lagos, they might have been gone with flood. Small state surrounded by ocean with over 20 million population. They are really trying o
Why doesn’t the govt actually “channel” water? Are topography maps even used in Nigeria? We should consider building retention and detention ponds to collect water and slowly discharge to avoid flooding etc. Let’s do more, demolishing so many houses shouldn’t be a necessity
Lagos is housing 22 million people, federal government help Lagos state by opening other seaports across the country to ease the congestion in Lagos. Do the right thing.
Your point is inexcusable. Acting as if the seaport is exclusive to Lagos, Nigeria. There are other seaports outside the state, but many simply cannot leave Lagos, most likely because of the limitless chances it provides in comparison to other states in Nigeria.
Is oko oba in Agege a joke to you.... Little rain, that place is always flooded.... The LASG should have left them alone, but rather they added up to the problem. Abandoned the gutter of a project for close to a year now instead of giving those people a real canal. The contractor is definitely a novice and yet he was given such a huge contract running into billions, this is not me sugar coating, paint bucket is what those abokis he hired on a daily used in collecting sand, water, gravel etc... No equipment owned by the so-called contractor, all on rentage including the least you'd expect. LASG is a joke I must say, and this administration has fallen way below expectations. All talk (lies). This is what anyone can verify, the people living in that community are still there. If in doubt. 😑
People should stop condemning these guys in power, is it easy to govern this Mini-Nigeria, people everywhere including civilised and uncivilised ones , those who have emotional attachment to their homestate but still hate rulers of their prosperity state. Well done, mr Commissioner. But lets hear that those who gave approval for building illegally should equally be punished. The amount they charged in the Island is exhorbitant , it breeds and encouraged Corruption
The government layed out a city plan and abandoned it because some were busy looting the funds budgeted to build the state according to the plan then they decided to wake up when people including their agents have almost completely compromised the city structure based on the plan turning the state into an urban slum. The issue began with the government not enforcing the plan then fraudsters masked as agents and environmental agents took advantage of the government's slumber. The funny thing is that they decided to wake up starting with specific areas occupied by certain demographic after travelling several miles away from areas where the main problems lay.
@@Kim-by5uy and you expect to achieve that within what time frame, so for your mind in location like Lagos you expect not to experience flood? Let’s be realistic with ourselves, we can only prevent or reduce the effect on the short run. You come online to criticize the government when they are trying to open up the drainage and you come online to do the same when there is flood , are you the enemy of the government? Lagos state is trying, Lagos state is the most fictional and serious state in Nigeria, the flood can be worst and I believe the effort in the past is what have helped to reduce the effect of the flood
@@AfroVistaChronicles001 I didn’t say I was against the demolitions. But if the demolitions didn’t make any difference in drainage it means the government is either incompetent or they were dishonest about the reasons for demolishing. Either way, that warrants strong critisim. You can simp for the government if you like. But as a taxpayer I have every right to call out bad policies.
Yes. If you don't, but from the right source or violate the principle of buying the land. Your house will be demolished. Come to UK, US and Canada and try that rubbish. Your house will be demolished, you will pay for the cost that the government used to demolish your house and MAY still be charged to court.
What's going on with Arise? You tease us with superior analysts then yank them after. First Adesuwa with what's trending, now Vimbai with the morning show? Sorry, my darling sister Ayo but.....!
Lagos need big dam …collect all this water and use it for beneficial purposes … this water should be a blessing , hydro power plant, irrigation, clean water , distribution ….. demolition alone is not profitable
If government does not plan waste management properly people will find a place to dump it, which is not good but commissioner is here blaming the people. Commissioner go do a good job.
You people should find out why floodings occur instead of demolition demolition You better find out the root cause before the whole of Lagos is gone into the lagoon. You are just using the flood as an to carry on with the demolition. Nigerians have lost a lot and God is watching
Flood is nature it can not be TOTALLY avoided. It happens in France, America, Dubai, recently Barcelona. More so in Nigeria, where the average of the citizens dumped garbage inside the drainage.
Mr commissioner you do not have any plan, also there is not place in the Bible that says cleanliness is next to Godliness. Thank you veembai, Dr Abbati and Rufai for all the question
The lawnman is not doing there jobs. Many of them ,sweep a particular small spot ,front n back, making g people to feel they re working, but they re not. Even when they sweep or clear d drainage, they lawnma don't come to pack them. Then u see those mallams , now scatter d dust bin in d bag , to pick what they want n scatter d remaining bins.
He said it caused by nature, speaking bogus English. What did you do to curb this before. All the demolishing or removing contraventions as he calls it, what help has it done? Oga you people are not working
you can’t see anything Lagos start government have been doing particularly on opening drainage parts and water ways, you people are the main problem of Nigeria because you complain when the government is trying to solve problems and you also complain when the problem arise, more drainage need to be opened up and it won’t be flew on the sky, so demolishing must happens in areas where it’s needed. Lagos must work for all
@AfroVistaChronicles001 when you go to advanced countries and see how they handle flood with their meager resources versus what Lagos state budgets for flooding every year, come back and let's have this debate. That man talking and his team are not working, he is barely speaking English . Simple !
@@fnm2156 in advance countries their citizens are not as criminals, lawless as most Nigerian. The effort this present government are putting in place has been done in advance countries decades ago, and their citizen cooperate with their governments to make things work. When we all realize that the main problem of Nigeria is the Nigerian in general sphere then will will be ready for change conversation, is the government the reason most countries are banning Nigerians and deporting them back to Nigeria. Respect the law, respect the government and then we can have a conversation
Frequent clearing of gotter by government with proper equipment ,not by manual tools. the white people uses proper equipment,it helps in clearing heavy blockage . sweeping the road . Not minding people that trash the street , even dough is very wrong to drop trash on the street. Let it be a serious routine mostly early rainy season. It can work with out demolishing much building. Drop industrial trash bucket in major stress.
Aside all your interventions, I think what is causing the flood in Lagos is Lagos state government greediness ot resources and wealth. How can a 4000sqf of land house 22 million people? Maybe it is time for Lagos state to move some of its establishments to other south west states like Ibadan in Oyo state and Abeokuta in Ogun state. This I believe will decongest Lagos state. Maybe when the population in Lagos reach 40million people then you people will understand the damage the government is causing to the state.
Does the entire populace of Lagos belong to Govt parastatals, what about the abokis , the Biafrans , the Cotonous, the Togolese , the Ara- okes who are all in Lagos for Business
All this things is cause of corruption in Nigeria, because those buildings got approval from a corrupt government director.they landlord has there documents on those land, still pay land tax to lagos goverment. So you can't blame them but blame your office director s.
What is the state of the available drainages... They are mostly filled with dirts that becomes very obvious during the dry season... A serious government will have a yearly project to ensure drainages are cleared during dry seasons and put enforcement in place to purnish people who throw dirts in our drainages... And not keep speaking english after these unfortunate events that have become a yearly occurence...
@@aduboluwaji9569 you have a very good point, but do you think over 25millions Nigerians in Lagos can be monitored from dropping trash in the drainage, people need to change and help the government to make things better
Keep thanking the governors and the deputy, mumu people make una no go work, the citizens are suffering the houses they managed to build has been demolished by your apc government yet it's still flooding and you're her thanking lazy governments, apc is a failure to nigeria and nigerians
Mr commissioner, pls with due respect you stop measuring Nigeria 🇳🇬, with western world as regards to flooding. These people have gone a long way decades ago with strong dirk that pushed flash flooding as soon as possible whenever there's rain disaster. And not demolition of the peoples homes if even that's done an alternative is provided and not leaving the poor masses homeless. Climate change has come to stay and mind you lands are being reclaimed world wide with houses built-in. How many houses will you demolish? With the excess of obstructing the fash flooding. Besides, what was your government to help those in immediate danger like every reasonable government dose world wide?
I like watching Nigerians, look at their commissioner struggling to explain a simple question. He keeps twisting everything together as much as he can....😂😂. Interesting people. Very cute 😂
Rufai has made good points, but he needs to be mature and learn to control his emotions; he talks more like a spoilt child; I am not surprised to see that he's not yet married. Bro, please change and learn from Dr Abati if you can see this.
Lagos is poorly planned and developed. The Lagos governor, commissioners are grossly incompetent. They built houses, buildings, bole-holes everywhere without drainage systems. Lagos is surrounded by oceans, rivers, lakes. Whenever it rains, the entire metro Lagos will be under water. In the United States, the city will make sure that there is a drainage system in place. Before the developer will start building the houses. There will not be anything like destroying peoples properties. DO NOT BUY ANY PROPERTY IN LAGOS or ABUJA! DO WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY!
Mr Commissioner is hardworking and determined, it would be best for Lagosians to support his efforts.

He said it caused by nature, speaking bogus English. What did you do to curb this before. All the demolishing or removing contraventions as he calls it, what help has it done? Oga you people are not working
you can’t see anything Lagos start government have been doing particularly on opening drainage parts and water ways, you people are the main problem of Nigeria because you complain when the government is trying to solve problems and you also complain when the problem arise, more drainage need to be opened up and it won’t be flew on the sky, so demolishing must happens in areas where it’s needed. Lagos must work for all
@AfroVistaChronicles001 when you go to advanced countries and see how they handle flood with their meager resources versus what Lagos state budgets for flooding every year, come back and let's have this debate. That man talking and his team are not working, he is barely speaking English . Simple !
@@fnm2156 in advance countries their citizens are not as criminals, lawless as most Nigerian. The effort this present government are putting in place has been done in advance countries decades ago, and their citizen cooperate with their governments to make things work. When we all realize that the main problem of Nigeria is the Nigerian in general sphere then will will be ready for change conversation, is the government the reason most countries are banning Nigerians and deporting them back to Nigeria. Respect the law, respect the government and then we can have a conversation
@@AfroVistaChronicles001 you are not ready for this conversation, go and join the flood traffic. Have a good day.
@@fnm2156😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Cry more, Oloriburuku aburo aja!
"There's nothing illegal in that" 👍... Dr Abati take note!
Frequent clearing of gotter by government with proper equipment ,not by manual tools. the white people uses proper equipment,it helps in clearing heavy blockage . sweeping the road . Not minding people that trash the street , even dough is very wrong to drop trash on the street. Let it be a serious routine mostly early rainy season. It can work with out demolishing much building. Drop industrial trash bucket in major stress.
Aside all your interventions, I think what is causing the flood in Lagos is Lagos state government greediness ot resources and wealth. How can a 4000sqf of land house 22 million people? Maybe it is time for Lagos state to move some of its establishments to other south west states like Ibadan in Oyo state and Abeokuta in Ogun state. This I believe will decongest Lagos state. Maybe when the population in Lagos reach 40million people then you people will understand the damage the government is causing to the state.
Does the entire populace of Lagos belong to Govt parastatals, what about the abokis , the Biafrans , the Cotonous, the Togolese , the Ara- okes who are all in Lagos for Business
All this things is cause of corruption in Nigeria, because those buildings got approval from a corrupt government director.they landlord has there documents on those land, still pay land tax to lagos goverment. So you can't blame them but blame your office director s.
When you people lose power, you all eye would open.
When igbo hold fredral power, you all we cry for you now mustake. Prevent your lands ftom foreigner invation under pretext of one nigeria.Oga.
What is the state of the available drainages... They are mostly filled with dirts that becomes very obvious during the dry season... A serious government will have a yearly project to ensure drainages are cleared during dry seasons and put enforcement in place to purnish people who throw dirts in our drainages... And not keep speaking english after these unfortunate events that have become a yearly occurence...
@@aduboluwaji9569 you have a very good point, but do you think over 25millions Nigerians in Lagos can be monitored from dropping trash in the drainage, people need to change and help the government to make things better
Rufai is a Wanabi that's all, he can talk like he's holy because he can call the Gomina ha😅😅😅
I don't believe this man
Keep thanking the governors and the deputy, mumu people make una no go work, the citizens are suffering the houses they managed to build has been demolished by your apc government yet it's still flooding and you're her thanking lazy governments, apc is a failure to nigeria and nigerians
Commissioner prepar to pay compensations to business owners,,your just a failure to the people of lagos😢
Mr commissioner, pls with due respect you stop measuring Nigeria 🇳🇬, with western world as regards to flooding. These people have gone a long way decades ago with strong dirk that pushed flash flooding as soon as possible whenever there's rain disaster. And not demolition of the peoples homes if even that's done an alternative is provided and not leaving the poor masses homeless. Climate change has come to stay and mind you lands are being reclaimed world wide with houses built-in. How many houses will you demolish? With the excess of obstructing the fash flooding. Besides, what was your government to help those in immediate danger like every reasonable government dose world wide?
They always to that in London they have the Thames barrier built in 1983 to prevent flooding thats long term planning
Commissioner for lying
There is a limit to how you can better the lives of animals in a zoo because they are animals.
He is a liar ofcourse.
I like watching Nigerians, look at their commissioner struggling to explain a simple question. He keeps twisting everything together as much as he can....😂😂. Interesting people. Very cute 😂
All this glory is because of the monopoly on seaport.
Glory? So it is about envy now.
@rotimikayode1072 is not that, but the noise is too much as if there is no other part of the country that can replicate it
@@omorouissa1979 Lagos has nothing to do with whatever problems other states are having.
Rufai has made good points, but he needs to be mature and learn to control his emotions; he talks more like a spoilt child; I am not surprised to see that he's not yet married. Bro, please change and learn from Dr Abati if you can see this.
Lagos is poorly planned and developed. The Lagos governor, commissioners are grossly incompetent. They built houses, buildings, bole-holes everywhere without drainage systems. Lagos is surrounded by oceans, rivers, lakes. Whenever it rains, the entire metro Lagos will be under water. In the United States, the city will make sure that there is a drainage system in place. Before the developer will start building the houses. There will not be anything like destroying peoples properties. DO NOT BUY ANY PROPERTY IN LAGOS or ABUJA! DO WILL DESTROY YOUR PROPERTY!
