Social commentator and urban development advocate, Scott Iguma, is calling attention to the troubling realities behind Lagos’ skyrocketing real estate prices. In a recent exposé titled “Open Drainages, Bad Smell, and Mosquitoes—Yet Land Costs ₦1 Billion in Lagos,” Iguma highlights the shocking disconnect between urban infrastructure and the city’s luxury property market.

Despite land in key parts of Lagos selling for as much as ₦1 billion per plot, many neighborhoods are plagued by open drainage systems, persistent foul odors, and a breeding ground for mosquitoes—posing serious public health and environmental risks.

“This is not just about real estate; it’s about urban dignity,” said Scott Iguma. “How can a city demand world-class prices when it offers substandard living conditions for everyday residents? Something has to change.”

Iguma’s report draws attention to:

Widespread Open Drainages that overflow during rains, causing flooding and water contamination.

Persistent Foul Smells from poor waste management and stagnant sewage.Mosquito Infestation contributing to health crises, including spikes in malaria cases.

Disparity in Value vs. Quality as luxury estates exist next to neglected communities, amplifying inequality
