Nigerian comedienne Taaooma has raised alarm over worsening waste disposal in Lagos, sharing a video showing refuse dumped on road medians and accusing the government of failing to address the growing sanitation crisis.
Nigerian comedienne and social commentator Taaooma has called out the Lagos State government over poor waste disposal after posting a video showing heaps of refuse dumped along road medians in the state.
In the footage shared on X, overflowing waste bags are seen blocking parts of busy roads, forcing motorists to slow down while pedestrians maneuver around the filth.
Reacting to the scene, Taaooma lamented what she described as Lagos’ transformation into a “dumpsite,” warning that the unchecked dumping poses serious health and environmental risks to residents.

The video has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Lagosians sharing similar experiences across different parts of the city.
The development comes amid mounting pressure on Lagos’ waste management system following the decommissioning of the Olusosun landfill in late 2025.
Environmental advocates and residents are now urging the state government to provide alternative disposal sites, strengthen enforcement against illegal dumping, and urgently address the sanitation concerns highlighted in Taaooma’s video.
