- Heavy Rains which lasted several hours on Wednesday resulted to severe flooding which took over many residential areas, and grounded vehicular movement on major roads in many parts of Lagos State.
The floods submerged homes in the Ibeju-Lekki area of the State and also brought down a two-storey building in the Mushin area of the state.
Thousands of residents have been affected by the floods while some pupils could not attend schools in some parts of the state.
The Lagos State government said the rain lasted for nine hours. Several videos showed commuters submerged by the floods, while some miscreants made make-shift bridges to extort commuters and charged N100 Naira to carry people through floodwater.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, has reaffirmed his commitment to removing structures obstructing the free flow of rainwater, Wahab was responding to a post on X, that questioned if the demolition of Igbo-owned properties and businesses in Lagos was politically motivated.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied meeting with South East governors over the issue of releasing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, from detention, but rather met with the governors to discuss issues of regional development.
The former President disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday, encouraged parents and guardians to warn their wards, against joining a planned protest by what it described as the shadowy group against its operations.
The EFCC in a statement by its spokesperson on Wednesday, said that the shadowy group has been actively campaigning on social media, recruiting young Nigerians, including students, to take up arms against the anti graft agency.
The EFCC further claimed, that the planned protest is aimed at resisting the operational activities of the commission, especially in areas relating to cybercrime.
In Edo state, students of the university of Benin on Wednesday trooped out in protest over incessant power outages in the institution’s campuses.
According to the students, the university was thrown into darkness following its inability to reach an agreement with the Benin Electricity Distribution Company’ over perceived contentious electricity billing. Soldiers were seen in a viral video approaching the protesters who blocked the Benin/Ore highway.
The Senate has turned down a motion seeking an investigation, into the alleged diversion of security funds to purchase a yacht and build universities.
The motion, sponsored by senator Adams Oshiomhole was brought to the floor during deliberations on the recent bomb blast in Gwoza, Borno State.
The lawmakers say it's time for the military to change its strategy against insurgency by deploying modern technology and observed that relying on conventional methods alone, like deployment of troops appeared not to be succeeding, as terrorists continued to use non-conventional approaches in killing Nigerians and destroying their means of livelihood.
Afro beat singer and biker, Joy Ebaide completed her solo ride from Kenya to Lagos, on Sunday, June 30th.
Ebaide who hails from Edo state, began her journey from Kenya, on March 10th. A journey many have described as a testament of her determination and sense of adventure.
She relocated to Kenya from Lagos in search for new experiences only a few years ago and has garnered a huge following online, after she began her adventure.
Posting videos about her journey online, Ebaide narrated how she encountered quite a hassle with some immigration officers in Africa especially in Angola where she had visa challenges and also how she was almost bitten by a snake in a forest in a town in Tanzania.
Speaking on her inspiration to embark on the Journey, Ebaide stated that after encountering a near-death experience, she felt she was given a second chance to life and decided to do more than just live.
On June 30th she became the first African woman to ever accomplish the solo ride from Kenya to Lagos within a four-month period.

What is EFCC business with protest where is this country called Nigeria going😂
Good question my brother stupid hand never touch them that's why
They saw what's popping in Kenya 😂😂
EFCC has been crowned the Area boys commission!
Please Igbos, do not build new houses in lagos again. Just manage what you have already.
Nobody even needs poor housing in Lagos. Lagos state government needs to prevent people just going about building nonsense and making noise about it.
@@youme1414 have you buy block in ur entire life
@@youme1414 making noise said by a tout that lives and poo under the bridge.
Lagos has special laws. You need to look into the laws before building.
Because I can remember Lagos doing the same to westerners. It’s the same law.
@@henrychinedujoseph2889 Yes, that is coming from somebody who doesn't know me and the usual suspect! Hehehe...
A very big shame to EFCC and leader Olukayode
This Rufai is a very intelligent man
Pls stop calling The Ibos .I hate to put any blame on another tribe .Did the Ibos just got on your land and built structures .I weep for The Yorubas
JUST AS I DO WEEP FOR THE YORUBAS
Weep for your family
Leave Yoruba alone
@@Omowunmi0412 Lagos State Nigeria is Yoruba people land
Nigeria needs to look like Kenya to get herself in order. Worse has happened and it shouldn’t be negotiated at this point by criminals who sit as leaders.
Exactly. Call them what they are. Nigerian politicians are common criminals in high places, completely devoid of any atom of creativity, and are enabled by a criminal Nigerian constitution, which was created by criminals for criminals. We're facing the consequences of not separating our criminals from the general public. We need to start rehabilitating criminals in Nigeria or continue to suffer a society packed full with and driven by criminality.
Yes oo
What Kenya has lost in terms of lives and infrastructure, cannot be recouped. Anytime soon.
EFCC should not become another SARS and we are yet to recover from what happened on the 20th of Oct. 2020. EFCC must get their acts together as they have been found wanting in so many cases. Let's get an update about Yahaya Bello and other corrupt politicians before boring us with this statement.
I am from Namibia but I am astounded that people are suffering a lot in Nigeria.
EFCC warning people against protest!😅I dont actually think these government agencies know their role in government.Everyone is so confused anything goes.What next, ndlea warning people against prostest?Road safety warning people against protest?That means even mama put can now warn people against protest then because the price of rice and beans has gone up.😅congratulation to the lady biker for doing kenya to lagos.🎉💃🎊🏍She's living my dream!😅This is why Africa should abolish border and visa for Africans,it will transform the continent for good.This colonial border system is only meant to keep Africa down and separated.Thank you.
Honestly.. The crops of useless leaders we have now wants to silence everybody..
The efcc is confused
How many politicians have Efcc handed over to the right authority to be prosecuted over the years?
Welcome back resplendent Ojy. Brilliant analysis from our beautiful Naija wife, Rufai and Dr Reuben Abati. It is really a shame that after all the bruaha made whilst demolishing people's homes and businesses, and the gigantuan money being made by the government in Lagos people should still suffer these sorts of hardship everytime it rains in the state. This is a wake up call for many living near the sea and rivers around Lagos to think of relocating before the rivers and or sea should break its banks and cause irreparable havoc in people's lives and livelihoods. Trust Nigerians to take advantage of their fellow citizens. EFCC should focus on the cases and investigations on corruption that they still have at hand rather than dabbling into police matters of keeping law and order. Prostesters have a right to protest peacefully without undue threats and intimidation from law enforcement agencies across the country. Thank you very much guys. Please keep safe in that place and have a wonderful day. The equally elegant Ayo is missed today.
But sir, the equally elegant Ayo is absent!
@@momohfemicorrected Femi. Forgive me.
I remember the day Daniel Bwala went to see Tinubu. He said Tinubu showed him the blueprint which he used to build lagos and Bwala was marveled. Bwala said he almost lost consciousness from how brilliant the blueprint of lagos is..... We shall learn a lesson
That shows the extent of the brilliance of these quota system Lawyers and he is one of their most brilliant.
Did she say "Miscreants"charged money to get people through the flood?
That's a wrong word to describe people who want to make a living from a difficult situation.
Things are hard and nothing is free even outside of the country
How can you charge money from people when you don’t own the land? Are you seriously okay?
They made an effort to create a bridge using bricks. That's creativity. Personally,I wouldn't wait to be charged, I would have offered to pay even more as they helped an ailing situation.
This should be if at all, applauded
Be***
I thought do too. Wrong word to use.
It's wrong. Nigeria can not move forward if things aren't done of love. What's the difference between 419 and bandit if its all about making a living. Stop these weak thoughts
I like how Orji okpe is sharing the question to them as their teachers. Good one Orjiinika okpe who’s story is trending globally
😊
The flood in Lagos and they claim Lagos is the best city in Africa🤷🏾♀️🤔
Says who...if u leave there u gonna know it's d worst city so far in Nigeria
We have flooding here in the UK so what’s your point?
Enemy of Lagos and Nigeria @@chucksgoodluck2500
Aba is the best city in the world. Just remain there and leave Lagos alone.

Good morning Ojy Team ❤
They didn't descus release of nnamdi kanu rather the kidnapped of Simon ekpa
The Lady from Zanzibar, greetings from Los Angeles.
She is from Zimbabwe. She speaks and analyzes issues so intelligently.
University of Benin should install solar panels and batteries. With 80million they can do alot
Our Universities need to be more creative. They turn out 1000 of electrical engineers every year, but cannot think of a way to create independent power.
@@ambrosekola4011 that is the irony of the country called Nigeria.
With the resources to make life better yet life is had.
@@ambrosekola4011they are just there to read books and nothing to show for it.
Thank you all as always
Why is it we don't have buildings demolition in London, America and the rest of the western world? We have corrupt leaders who cannot control thier atrocities and greed of money.
Where are the authorities responsible
1. When the land was purchased
2. When the approval for building is obtained
3. When the foundation was laid
Were they asleep?
In addition who are the people
1. Selling these government lands
2. Approving building plans
3. State building inspectors
Are they ghost or spirit that cannot be dealt with rather than dealing with the after effects.
Someone needs to let these people know that building demolition is the same burning naira notes. Everyone lost at the end of the day.
Because ALL what you asked was not obtained by the building owner genuinely was the reason they have to pull down the building.
In America or the UK, you can not go and do that foolishness, buying land, and not having proper documents. It is your right in Canada, US, or UK to sort that out with your lawyer and realtor or agent before you have the building.
In those countries, when you build an illegal structure or try to cut corners, they will pull your house down.
Ask the people who built those houses. You can come back when you have the answers.
@@user-hj9qj4td7qdon't mind them, they want Nigeria to be like US UK etc but they can't follow normal process.
Saw Wetin person dey claim to Build.But after raining season their short memories will forget everything.
Who built Lagos ? Tinubu.
Nigerians, ntoooo ! 😅
😅😅
Don't mind them
Let him remove all structures if lagos can't build a drainage system and control waste disposal then they can't win this war!. Did he say 2 to 3 hours ? Is he crazy? Tomorrow that flood will be there ...
the drainage system in Nigeria is very poor, I am very sure that the country's wastewater and rainwater have no proper channels of water flow to the wastewater treatment plants
Where are the Lagos state emergency crews with equipment to help citizens.?
That Mr Wahab as a government official should learn how to respond to MOP.
Great analysis Arise crew keep it up
But why are they all against protest? This was what APC did to gain power.
EFCC is a commission not a Police Service, department or service.
Dr. Abati I love your windscreen, wàláítàlàì!
This is how bad our dear country has become. That amidst the flood, they have to charge money to assist people to cross the flood. God help us?
Flooding in Lagos is an age long problem that government needs to solve wholestically. Ethnicity and politics should not be a part of it
On the benin student protest, it was very clear from the video that it was the convoy of a top naval officer passing.
Nigeria we hail thee
The lady that water enter her pant should go see her doctor. Lagos state government should compensate the owners of those property destrpyed by the government.
Alaba international canals were over filled,and was gushing out on the roads.. It's really a course for a serious alarm
I stay close to Uniben main gate and yesterday police brought two gigantic Black Maria to arrest however innocent students they where over 50 arm to the teeth police officers. 😢😢😢 so said what this country has become
The problem with Nigeria is that we are willing to put up with what embarrasses us, what humiliates us, what makes us littler than we really are! If you cannot do something, why can’t you leave the stage for those who can? Why are we siding with second-best? Imposters? Why are we promoting incompetence? If Tinubu and his cronies did not tell us what they can do for us during the campaign, why would they tell us now that they are in power? Why are we joking with our future and our children’s future? Why do we like to flirt with mediocrity? Other people see Nigeria’s potential and greatness, why do we Nigerians not see it? Why do we tolerate bad leadership? Why do we condone it!? Why are we willingly bleeding ourselves to death!?
The time has come when the dead woods must leave the stage, so the youths can fix Nigeria! When a lizard overstays atop a palm-tree, it turns into an alligator. They claim to be implementing Peter Obi’s economic plans. But how can you implement an idea that was not yours to begin with? That is the problem. Why don’t they allow Peter Obi to implement his own ideas? They want to rule Nigeria at all costs! Where has it gotten us?
Peter Obi and Obidients have advanced a lot of ideas that could have transformed Nigeria by now. Instead, Tinubu and his cronies are toying with those ideas and making no progress. Why did Niger State buy 1000 tractors? Is the Government of Niger State a farming state? Peter Obi would have identified individuals who have affinity to farming and funded them. Businesses should be privately owned, not government owned. Tinubu and his cronies are taking advantage of the ignorance of Nigerians and stealing us blind! When you have a criminal as your president, this is what happens!
Nigeria must expand oil production capacity-they lament! How about expand gold, diamond and other minerals producing capacity? How about agriculture? Why is everything about oil? How about solar energy? You people are so misguided in your thinking. Oil, oil, oil! Are we not tired of oil in Nigeria? Are you not tired of milking the Niger Delta? Oil that is taking us nowhere! Oil that is benefiting only few and the rest of the people are starving or living in poverty.
Why are we letting China steal our mineral resources? Why are our leaders allowing Chinese companies to take truck loads of sand out of Benue State? What is contained in that sand? Do we even have leaders at all? Are our leaders in control of our mineral resources? Are our leaders in control of our borders? Who is in charge of Nigeria? What a shame! Why are we folding our hands while resources are being stolen on our watch?
Nigeria don suffer! Everyone wants to be the president of Nigeria. Goat wants to be the president of Nigeria. Dog wants to be the resident of Nigeria. Cat wants to be the president of Nigeria. Even “amebo” wants to be the president of Nigeria. The office is now open to drug dealers, certificate forgers, and career criminals. They are all clamoring to lead her astray. They have no mission, no conviction, just a desire to be president. They have no plan, and they know nothing about business or economics. Pathetic! We need Nigerian solutions to Nigeria’s problems, and the time to do it is now!
Looks at Lagos corruption is the root cause of all this.
So now efcc has a say in protests after veating up women and letting bello go. I hope the protests are strong and last till all NASS is gone
What did he do when he was in the office corrupt man to the core
Government should do something quickly over this flooding in Lagos State
Lmao.. this is not one of those things you do something “quick” about. It’s a shame govt build stuff without proper planning
I thought Tinubu have built lagos already. What else again?
@bamsondavid5532
They have promised to destroy more Igbo properties to solve the immediate and future floodings.
There's nothing they can do about climate change Lagos is surrounded by water
@@Chief_Commander_MBE
Venice has always been surrounded by water since 500 AD. Lagos can learn a lesson or two from Venice.
The Lagos State government’s position of demolishing houses on undeveloped drain channels is baffling. I am not disputing this but should this be the focus of Sanwolu now? We hear the English of “flash floods” but like I say, that’s just English. Gov Fashola did a good job of developing some storm drains and seemed to have reduced the flood issue. Gov Ambode always cleaned these drains in the months of January to March. No flood. I have never seen Gov Sanwolu clean these drains. Lekki has been dry for years but floods now. Go and look at those drains and you will see why.
My people are suffering a lot in this called one Nigeria 😢
So Lagos got flooded. What's the big deal? Major cities in the world have been flooded this year already. People don't even know about the impact of environment and weather
they cant even manage 2 days rain water. .. it is building their phanthom roads to Calabar...
The more Tinubu is in office, the more Nigerians become poorer
As in Backing an adult is N100 ...naija i hail thee
Igbos should stop tolerating violations from their enemies. Fight! Put the pain on your enemies and see their stupid senses come back to them.
There should just be a law banning former governors from becoming senators or house of assembly members.
Welcome back ojinika
Obasanjo is showing signs of a support for regional government in Nigeria
Where’s T-Boy the master strategist?
Make everybody enter street, we have nothing to loose...
Make everything start again.
Revolution is the only way out of this mess
Why the state or federal government did not pirotize building low cost housing for its citizens instead that everyone building houses as they want on illegal placesand why they got the permission to build from the same government!
Deploy more technology. Can't we build ours
Living in Nigeria is very stressful
People who are hungry and looking for money for food, you call them miscrants?
The flood has nothing to do with Igbo Houses. Fair is fair
GOD ALMIGHTY HEAL AND GUIDE THEM ALL
Obasanjo went to the other room during that discussion. Wise one elder we saw what u did there
How many of EFCC to challenge entire Nigeria.
Can Orjy stop the interjections when the others are talking? I understand you may be trying to manage the time and prompting them to wrap up their thoughts but it causes distractions to the person speaking and we listening. Thank you Orjy and crew.
Nigeria will rise again.
Lesson to some wicked landlord and landlady's
Too evil in Lagos that is why God allow the rain
With the current situation in Nigeria now, one day Nigerians will stand up against the government.
Stand against your state governors first.
Keep on supporting your oppressors until poverty clears your eyes
Everytime I try to be the first person here on Arise news but I don't make it why?
Must you include churches in your response to defend the Lagos state government.
Good job guys .🙏🙏🙏🙏

Did anyone see that long snake in Tanzania ? I was even afraid while seeing that snake move 😳. E be like say na African black Mamba.

Discussing southeast development with Obasanjo is a waste of time and energy. Southeast governors are the one who can help their situations and talking to Tinubu on how he can be of assistance.
Why is this lady always forcing accents? It's just so obvious and irritating.
Another Nigerian problem. Pretentious to the max. They dont mind being robbed blind, as long as the person is speaking good englich.
How is there cctv inside Rotel rooms?
A pupil was reported swept away around mile 12
Both the actions of the soldiers and EFCC were raw display of power.The soldiers whether they were passing or not should have invited the police if they felt there was going to be breakdown of law and order.Until the military learns to stick to their constitutional role they will continue to have deadly clashes with the civilian populace.The military can only come in if there was a threat to national security or a protest has gone beyond the power of the police.It is then and only then can they come in as a reinforcement.As for the EFCC Chairman, this was an intimidating arm twist aimed at muzzling the youths from protesting.I didn't know he was a great admirer of late Abacha who during the Abiola protest warned parents to rein in their children within 24 hours.It is pure gaslighting of youths to say they were being sponsored by corrupt politicians on their radar.It was the same way the EndSars youths were gaslighted of being sponsored by IPOB.Running an agency does not thrive by share propagandism.It thrives by strictly following the law that established the agency and having a good PR that interfaces with all segments of the society which it serves .
where is Ayo? None of the four musketeers should be missing
I feel like getting married to you Jiniks❤
There's no Nigeria any more
Can you see your life Yoruba People
Eyin lokan. Now you will know that Tinubu has no Nigerian blood in him
Rain is supposed to be a blessing to any Community
As much as I don't like this government, I think you guys are insane with your thinking method. In 2012, there was a heavy flood in Lagos that took lives and Jonathan was our president. It rained non stop for more than 12 hours. Should I blame Jonathan for that? There have been floods in Lagos since I was a child. Government is not responsible but turning this to ethnic jingoism while the guy in charge of canals is Ibo makes you look foolish. Stop the tribal rants. Think with your head as human. These men don't care about your tribes when it comes to politics.
@Ninenifea they're referred to as sad east for a reason.
Efcc what is wrong with you guys. Why the warning against proteste.
Because they are benefitting from the bad system
The backers are 😂supposed to be collecting 1000t naira each
Why are you calling those who help people to cross the water miscreants? What they did by Nigeria law is it criminal? Life is the grace of God. Some of these people if given opportunities can be inhabitants of Victoria Island.
You are the problem
Nice one. All these bike riders who achieve their dreams of having a unique sort of adventure with social camaraderie should try to push for social justice and use their limelight & popularity to help those who don’t have voices or a platform to speak for themselves. Those in prison without trial, judges failing to sign off people’s release, cost of medicines for the poor and even education or just price of petrol coming down. These are worthy causes & they’ll forever have the respect of the ordinary people like us. For now it’s just 5 mins of fame until it’s used for some tangible. I respect Tunde who won the chess championship & smashed d GWR he has that drive & vision.
