Popular Nigerian comedian, Acapella, says he has received threats for backing claims that Lagos smells.
The drama started after influencer Scott Iguma posted a viral video describing Lagos as “smelling” and full of “big mosquitoes.” The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, didn’t find it funny.

He added that pointing out Nigeria’s problems doesn’t mean you’re against the country — in fact, it’s the first step to fixing things.
