Mr Tokunbo Wahab has spoken well. He has his facts. Am glad you are the commisioner. There must be sanity in the state. Well done sir. 👌🤛🏾👍✅
Well said Mr. Commissioner, you nailed the interview. Thanks for the clarification
The sad thing about this video is it shows that unfortunately we don’t have enough tough principled leaders like Tokunbo Wahab in Nigeria. 🇳🇬
Good job! Gov Sanwo, please assign adequate security to this man. May we not witness a repeat of Dora Akunyilli downfall.
Well done Tokunbo Wahab. Our people should learn to do things right.
Please how do our people learn how to do the right thing when government has not done there part so our people can follow, I think our people is the curse of resign the government don't do what they supposed to do because we always support them when they do all this meaningless and lack of unseroussness attitude
@@goziemartins4094later u will be the one to bring ur dirty tooth and say government didn't do anything in about the flood in the state, u compare Nigeria with abroad but can u endure the transformation to be like abroad. Yeye people
@@goziemartins4094I believe unexpected the govt to put mats on the roads to stop construction, they were warned, there are videos of warning, after warning is enforcement.
Lagos state government is just following the original structure of the state nothing bad about what they are doing, they're in order.
This the big problems we are facing west Africa, in Accra too, the people believes its political and tribal,we want our cities to develop but our mindset is the big problems
The same ppl crying about Ghanaian laws regulating businesses are the ones crying here in Lagos Yorubaland 😅....lawless ppl from 700km away ...😅
It is so refreshing to listen to a commissioner who is dynamic, professional and sincere about the delivery of intervention /assignment! Actually refused to be bribed - there’s hope for Nigeria! God bless him.
The chairman diverted the canal to save his own building only to put other people’s houses at risk of demolition. Typical Nigerian power play, Thanks for sorting out the riddles!!🙏.
Do you believe he knows what he is doing?
@@goziemartins4094children of hate continue crying
Another senseless comment from a child of hatred.
i love the way this man is addressing the issues. using facts to address public concerns.
There's nothing to like here. From time immemorial, this has been the way they've been talking. They do something else and talk about something completely different.

Meanwhile, Onikure
@@Topsyyyyy gbamsolutely, dey no dey hear mek una finish them.
The only problem I have is waiting until these constructions are completed before demolishing them. It's not even cost-effective,to the government.
Those who are acconplises to this should be fished out and punished!!!
Going forward, the environmental protection agency should hire people to look out for illegal constructions, so as to act in real time, not RETROSPECTIVELY!!!
This is a common problem in our cities and we must not live like animals!!
You see people selling in the middle of roads!!! That's not right!!!
The governments, not just the Lagos State government, need to do more.
It's about time to take drainages serious in Nigeria.
When are we doing away with open gutters that drains water to no where ?
God bless Governor Sam Mbakwe for championing the end to use of BUCKET SYSTEM OF STOOL DISPOSAL!!!
Open gutters have to go!!! Inground drainages that are actually channeled to somewhere is the way to go!!! Let's stop creating stagnant waters, growing mosquitoes, and save money from importing malaria medications and reduce mortality rates from mosquitoes and malaria!!!
Peace!!!!
Mr Tokunbo, well done. Please continue the good job.
Thumbs up for Arise for covering this! We need our cities cleaned but we need to establish systems that function. Maybe building a waste management system should be a priority. Makoko!!!
👍Tokunbo Wahab
Seyi is back. She's loved by my soul
I am thinking of believing in "Renewed Hope".
God bless you Mr. Tokunbo. We need more of your type in government. We should all learn to do what is right instead of cutting corners. There are consequences for such sharp practices.
When the government demolition all the properties in jankara and isale eko that belongs to the Yoruba then it was okay and not politically motivated but when it comes to ibos with their illegal structures then they start crying fowl.
You know they are the victims all the time.
You know this group are Obedient sympathizer. We know where they belong.
Na so
The energy u guys deploy in fighting the Igbos, whom u perceive as ur enemies, if u put 1/4 of it in fighting for good governance of a country that has been rendered useless by corruption, we shall not be where we are today. Keep hating the igbos, okay? It’s your problem. Igbos will keep soaring.
@sholaades. Your wickedness to your fellow country people will soon catch up with you. Y'all travel to US and UK and buy properties and nobody stops you but we all see how you Yoruba tribe are treating other tribes in Nigeria and what y'all doing to them. You're ok with Chinese, Indians and Lebanese buying properties in Lagos but you treat your fellow country men like this all the time, yet they keep rising out of the ashes better than all of you. Your wickedness will soon catch up with you. A time comes when y'all will be tenants in homes belonging to people who are not even Nigerians
Arise TV this is your best ever 😂❤
This is a brilliant exercise, to address the flooding issues, as well as, effects of stagnant water (mosquito breeding ground). Hope this will set another example of why buyers must beware (Caveat Emptor). There are so many criminals in and around the system. We can’t be talking about Climate Change Challenges and still keep feeding our greed.
Thanks to the beautiful newscaster that asked about the floating slums. Please build a place to relocate them. The hygiene is so poor, deadly and inhumane. we see it on social media. What affects the poor can affect the rich too. Please help the poor in our communities. Also you can give incentives to the people whose houses are demolished so they don’t just loose their resources. Leadership with a conscience???
You're doing a good job Mr T. Keep it up 👍
Well said commissioner!!
If the government constantly clean the markets they would not need to close them ti clean them. Government should constantly monitor illegal activities and they would not have to demolish houses and illegal traders. If the government is consistent, members of the public will know what is expected of them and conform. People breach rules when they know they can get away with it. Be consistent. Stop punishing your citizens for your incompetence. Take responsibility for your action. Doing nothing about the flood is not acceptable.
@jollyjoneshoko Exactly, they slack in their duties but are quick to throw their weight around by punishing their citizens. Big jokers
It's not the job of the government to clean markets. Every market have an association and they are supposed to organize themselves and ensure that the markets are clean. The Government can only provide infrastructures and utilities to aid that. Lawma does that already.
Exactly 💯 they are so irresponsible, incompetent entities. If they are doing there job, there will be nothing like illegal structure, because those houses were not built over night, it took weeks, months and even years. Incompetent commissioner's and Co.. Nigeria 🇳🇬 people grow up..get sense , this is oppression and abuse of human right.. look around you , do you see or hear this can of a thing happening in other countries, accept in Nigeria 🇳🇬, only in Africa
Tokunbo wahab is the man..reminds of Fashola. Just follow the law❤
If you are stopping street trading cos Lagos is a Mega City. Very Good Mr. Wahab. What are you doing about Touting and Area Boys constituting nuisance to the environment and people of the Mega City.
The rubbish in Lagos should be exported to the south east, since they won't live there...
Non compensation or arrest and prosecution of those engaged in the fraudulent act of selling land or C of Os illegally. Nobody is deceived. The targeting of Igbo properties for destruction.
He's got no plans for Makoko.
Please we need your intervention in aboru oke odo iyanaipaja please 🙏
he spoke well
HOW MANY PROPERTIES IN THE MAINLAND & ISLAND HAVE THIS DRAINAGE CLEARANCE YOU ARE REFERRING TO?
Agreed they need to abate but what did provide for them and should they dispense their waste. This is the issue.
All i can say is that Lagos is too congested. They should open up the sea port in warri and portharcourt to serve other regions. SS,SE and NE
After demolition. What is the measure put in place that they are not builded upon again
Some people are saying that "this is Lagos" as inscribed in his hat connotes Lagos is not Igboland.
Very said commissioner ❤
Igbos that build in Lagos swarm, we no dey pity any of una
Inlike yhis commissioner. How Inwish ministers at the federal and other commissioners are this focused and active
Does Lagos actually have a Waste disposal center. What happens to all the waste? Waste to Energy is an option
Arise LYING TV media should be educating people on the need to do due diligence before buying or building, explaining building and environmental laws, NOT running useless stories about ethnic and religious undertones.
Dey play!
I agree that to fix, we have to endure and let out sentiments. Flouting the law unknowingly should be properly investigated and compensated when necessary, not to just take a decision and implement.
I feel there’s double standards at play. You can punish those with illegal structures and leave those within the Lagos state system that encouraged the construction of the illegal structures. I don’t believe that the so-called offenders wouldn’t have built without necessary approvals. If the approvals were forged, what about the officials that kept inspecting during construction. Further, I want to believe that these fees (approvals fees etc associated to these demolished buildings) form a parts Lagos State IGR. Why don’t they investigate where collections are coming from and ascertain the authenticity. “Easy to collect but not easy to give back”.
If Lagos is setting up a body for the regulation they must take the whole state along n make people know how they operate because I am an Architect n I witnessed some group of people going into an estate which is not in any way close to a drainage Chanel or swampy area to be threatening the landlords of demolition. I was so mad at them because I believe it's act of criminality n this rascals where putting on a polo shirts with Lagos state logo
Bro Toks, what about the canal running through Aguda, Itire, Idiaraba etc
That stretch is perpetually blocked with trash and weeds even water hyacinth often.
Oga Toks , over to you o because all the aforementioned cause floodings whenever it rained
What this guest here is saying are the ideals.. but in practice, this is not what takes place. Infact many of the government staffs would arm-tie you to make you, follow their methods to getting what you want. I have done something wright in the past and they fine me for doing that, until i was summoned to their offices, and made to do it their own way. This send a clear signal to me back then not to go through the normal route. I was one person who loves to follow procedures. In wanting to complain, i never knew no one was reasonable among them in the office to reason with the right thing to do. So, the lesson there was, doing it the right way, you will be terribly punished for it.
But here, the bosses would say these things, and you as q victim, how do you pursue your case? The people you are to report to, are the same people who victimized you.. so how, or what should people do?
Wrong remains a wrong, right is always right. Fining u for doing what's right means u at fault despite that!!
@@kamaldeenaolatunji7282 you want details, so hear it. I went to pay to the bank for some government dues. The government staffs came for inspection, I presented all receipts, but the lady inspector says it's not original, I showed her that this receipt had the description of payment, printed on it.. she said she didn't come with her glasses and couldn't see.. I was showing it to her colleagues and they were not listening. Long story short, they close down my establishment. I went to their office to complain, after calling people I knew who could help, though they tried but, they know I can't escape paying that ilegal fee, so I was left with no choice than to repay. Now what I was made to pay in their office was more than what I officially paid at the bank, before they could allow me operate normally. Now tell me, what wrong have I done?
Kama will pay evil people accordingly. This man is here talking nonsense. Calling people names is part of unprofessional. Also, in Lagos we know how it works. I believe that jungle justice has been perpetual in Lagos. Please Mr demolition, can you show us pictures and the address to go to verify all these he has said.
@@simple2m2000 I don't consider him an evil or wicked man. My contempt was, they don't know what actually goes on in those offices they overseer. They might have good intentions, but what plays out is different from what they claim in the open.
They should try and develop more smart means to giving people actual choices to boycott this arm twisting and high level corruption running through their own.
And I believe they know some of these things happens but don't want to offend their principals who appoint those corrupt individuals, so they purposely look away.
@kutakunte. Thank you, you just made exactly my point which is why people are saying it is politically motivated. Their corrupt officials give them approval to build knowing that it's only a matter of time before the wrath of the law comes hitting on them and why wait till they completed the building does it mean the planning authority inspectors always turn a blind eye when they pass through those areas. This is pure wickedness
I commend LASG for enforcing building and environmental codes.
In the MAN centre right now, on Adeniyi Jones; generators, sewing machines, and kekes have been stockpiled for (alleged) onward distribution to APC supporters... 🤔
Why didn't the environmental man close the stinking Alaba Lago environs occupied by the Hausa/Fulanis?.
Foolani must GO
The Demolition Man! Nice....😂
This commissioner is clueless. He’s power hungry. Oge thank you for your question, how did we get here??
Shettima said it before it happens
Steve Ayorinde are you saying most roadside traders in Lagos are from southeast na wa for you ooooo
Don't be deceived, the timing of the exercise is a simple proof of the politics behind it. Why was it not done before now or well after this period of sever hardship. The former governor of the state did something similar when he hired trucks to remove Igbos from Lagos.
The Govermment is not to blame , it's the developers, they knew what they was doing
Your Igbo persecutions will not reduce the Igbos. It will only bring Biafra faster.
The state government is the course of this problem.But soon your government will be history and such a pain will be revisited onto your illegally acquired property as nuisance.
It's also fault of Lagos state government.
1, Lagos state government next time stop illegal structure while building them not demolishing them after.
2, because it's a waste of money.
3, imagine someone rent the house or apartment, must someone check before renting a place, if it's legal or illegal structure, who does that?
4, please Lagos state government, it's your duty to protect citizens from something of such.
i jst realised lagos is a very dirty city.
u can imagine how dirty other low level cities in naija is
Why is the idea of having borehole in every home not ideal even if its not feasible? These are two different things I hope he's not lumping them together or envisaging forcing State water supply on residents of Lagos.
Poor governance not building houses for sale and not building markets and never providing any amenities.
Such a sorry set of people . Even street names are being changed , it is well . There is God I know
Where does illegal structure's not there during sawo olu first tenure? They want kick non Yoruba out of Lagos
Oh shut up and grow up and if you feel that way then GO home to your Ibo land and actually, I just saw a TikTok about your godfather in Sweden that Biafra is happening in imo . Start going
You didn't hear that some of them had been served notice 2 years ago before the second one. Are u not listening or you chose to be ignorant.
@@olusegunsoyinka3305their stupiidity is just amazing 😂😂😂
Even if they are. It may be a blessing!!!! Everyone cannot live like animals in Lagos!!! Nigeria is very huge!!! Go to other places and develop them.I can not build a house for free in Lagos!!!
The federal government must invest in all parts of Nigeria.
@@angelicakweku5293 No, the local governers need to do their jobs and local people must hold their local representatives to account instead of holding the central government responsible for everything. This is not central government's job.
the man is somehow right but let him make sure there is no tribalism or politics in it
This is their style. They tell you what they want you to hear, they do something else. They've talking since independence with nothing to show for it.
Who gave the approval for them to build in the first place?Oh you levied them and waited for them to complete their houses and the next thing is sending bulldozers to destroy their buildings in the name of urban renewal. Everyone who have their C of Os intact should engage a good lawyer and sue them.Are we in a Banana Republic?
To me both the building owners and those that gave the "illegal" approval should be deltwith not just the land owners.
Why do you said I’m the political appointed why 😢 because you didn’t know you job mr Wahab
Why the fixation on Lagos sef 😑...5 happles states emptying their population into 1 small state 😅
Something must give 😅
If the man is asking people to bring their approval, doesn’t it mean govt doesn’t have any evidence of approval in their own system? If the owner lost their approval but one is in the system, govt cannot rely on people to bring the approval or lose their property. Govt needs to ensure they are in the right.
If u lost ur approval u go to to the gov and mention ur NAME the duplicate will always there
When you make an allegation of misconduct by the government or against any party, you have the burden of proof.
Govt is asking them to provide the issued documents,it also mean govt don’t have any records the public is saying they have
Not really, they ask because they want verification that what you have matches what they have on record, and that people are not sub-letting.
He said many people extend beyond what they are approved of and gave pic evidence, if you have money to build houses you should have money to scan your documents and save it in ur mail and your wife email
Apply what we do and how we normaly recycle our waste in the U.K...Simple...
All this is happening un Lagos is correct ok: But the Big bigger problem is anyhow corruption zoning maps" Why?
@ oji should be ashamed of her self, the man said IF YOU HAVE ANY APPROVAL BRING IT ON, unfortunately @arisetv don't carry out vivid investigative journalism, they just like entertainment/political journalism.. bad.
If rules and laws should take it's full course so many leaders and so many citizens like us will end up in jail, in nigeria we don't live by the law and rules we just do things as we wish to.
Demolishing an illegal structures very close to the Canal is very good but based on some areas I have seen d demolition take place. The builder or developer complied with the code of building which is 3m away or even more. That's not all some people have even hijacked this program to go into an estate on a table land that doesn't have any Canal or swamp to be extorting money from the landlords who's building has been built n standing since 80s n 90s while the first story building is still standing in badagry n the first Baptist Church building still standing isn't that a wicked n devilish act. Lagos state government shouldn't create something that evil people will hijack to create eneminity for them.
What goes around comes around
Horrible criminal den called 'International ' market mtcheeew 😊😅
Let criminal money launderers bribe corrupt officials to bypass laws ... you will cry in the end 😅
I see people saying “good job” lol. Do you know how irresponsible a govt. has to be in order for an illegal building to be fully constructed (& left standing)? Are citizens fully aware of the required processes/procedures (or has the govt. done enough to educate)? Why are they not punishing the perpetrators? There’s a place called makoko slum that has existed for several years.. everyone is aware & nothing is being done.
Do you how irresponsible for people like you to bribe Govt
"The proof is in the pudding".
(1). Show the names of the victims, & if the demography shows the highest concentration of Igbos+ others.
(2). Show another demography of concentration of Yorubas+ others where similar policies have been carried out.
A country that has been tagged " the world poverty capital+ 142 million people in multi- dimensional poverty( multi-dimensional in this context means intractably structural), therefore need more and more shelters for our population without breaking the land city codes/laws. But where such laws/ordinances have been breeched( where code enforcement were lacking in say, in US/UK), committee will seat to navigate the channels, penalize offenders etc.
Conclusion: This is a raw ethnic attack from Yoruba leadership in Lagos to Igbos which the threats are littered over the social media before/after the presidential election.
You yourself have not shown any proofs but you have come to a conclusion..
OGA DON'T BRING TRIBALISM INTO THIS .
If those people that feel they are victims of Tribalism , take the government to court ,get Channel ,Arise to tell their story simple.
Is everything in Nigeria has to be about ethnicity? You make sick with your racism and excuses for stupidity

I love this man how he addresses all the issues raised. Please the land reclamation at Ilubirin has caused adverse effect of flooding on the Lagos island parts and nothing has been done to correct this anomalies.
Whether it’s right demolition or wrong couched under doing right, it’s all seems like unnecessary control of economic growth because it’s still the government that allowed it to get this far. That aside, We Igbos must invest more in the East/your land where you are more versed on the rules and will have a hand in the order of operation, transparency, and better control of your businesses.

The Makoko issue: Relocate them!
To where?
Relocate without displacing. It's a delicate balance.
It’s not practical to relocate Makoko. The government should allocate funds to provide services to increase the quality of life in that community. Besides, given its unique nature, it’s gradually becoming a potential for tourist attraction IF adequately protected. Makoko is an asset and not a liability.
@@obieWanmotivation Really, will you accept to live there?
Thank you for not having that Rufia abi na Rufirat in this conversation. This is how interview should be conducted, not unfair agbero posing and arguing and pretending to be a journalist.
Lagos is not Yoruba land
Igbo property demolition is a political habit or ambition of every politician in Lagos state, its better for all igbo diaspora and business men to start investing in their own region...
its just a waste of time to listen to this tribalized politicians in Lagos State.
I hope igbo leaders are learning the hard way to fix their security infrasttuctures to attract investment in their region.
Nigeria politically, ethically, and tribally dividend in our mental mind and habits so no explanation can change these narrative
go and fix your land.....
If yoruba markets are closed or demolished there is no problem but it the igbos market are closed for a reason it is tribalism, they are always the victims , always crying 😭 everywhere

The Lagos state planning authority must have given permit to this people to build. The planning authorities being corrupt, gives them permit to build, then your ministry goes and demolition their properties. Shouldn’t you fish out the people that gave them permit and punish them also? The planning authority knows that buildings should not be there, so why give them permit to build? The owners of these properties need to sue your ministry or the Lagos state government because it is still one of their agencies that gave them the permit to build. The property owners don’t have the master plan of Lagos so they cannot know it’s illegal to build anywhere, it's the duty of the planning authority to mark those building for demolition from day one, so I think this whole issue still boils down to the corruption in the Nigeria system and it's so unfortunate
You can't just set up and build anywhere. Lagos is not the bush.
Everybody is a criminal in Nigeria
Mind your comments
Yoruba evil
It is only a demented person that will love and hope in Nigeria..
I pray something that will devide that country
Now now now
