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.
