NOT only have non-biodegradable plastics messed up the landscape across all urban centres in Nigeria, they are also threatening soil conditions and freshwater sources.
Yet, daily, Nigerians ignorantly put these “leathers”, as they are called in the North, to various uses and just carelessly dump them anywhere.
It is strange that we as a people have lost the sense of appreciation of order and beauty because we are really not bothered about the eyesores that garbage creates around us.
Worse still are those who have shunned the use of toilet paper and prefer full “pure water” sachets for their personal hygiene because they just clog their drain-pipes with an accumulated mass of these non-biodegradables.
Yet, in the midst of all this poor national hygiene, Nigeria wants to be reckoned with in the international scene and has the temerity to call itself “Giant of Africa”.
