Garbage
Oh the Sarah Stouts would find Nigeria home.
Here no one takes the garbage out.

Garbage lines the streets, the ditches, the corn fields, the markets, the hill sides... it is simply everywhere... and a bothersome sight. And a terrible smell.

You need to do your job here, Peter says. That is, administer a litter program. But here there is no garbage pick up, no garbage cans for that matter, no landfill... Where would the litter go, if they didnt litter?

Litter has become the embankments of the city, buildings are built on top, it is as common as the soil upon which they walk... it is so tremendous, one can not fathom. Peter says the government is starting an "Clean-Up Nigeria" campaign. It should be interesting to follow.


Urban spaces



Water ways.



Along side a road, forming an embankment.



Garbage is mixed up in the soil of vegetable gardens as if it is fertilizer.... as common as the soil the plants grow in.
