The Waste Age.

Have you moved around Kubwa in Abuja to discover the amount of indiscriminate waste dumping?

Have you noticed how people fail to use the public toilets (Gidan Wanka)? They associate its usage with a particular section of society? We sure live in times when people just don’t care. Materialism has become the new wealth status. People have so embraced selfishness over teamwork, well-being, and empathy. The times have moulded Nigerians who now believe in “ME, MYSELF AND  I ONLY”.

We must build a love climate where we show unconditional empathy, where environmental concerns are second nature, and where developmental priorities trend upward in our daily behaviours.

These days, we overeat, not considering the poor or our very own neighbours. Sadly, we have long erected tall fences which have so destroyed what we used to know and call shared humanity, and we now live “private lives”.

We purchase only the trendy, and, after all, we trash the rest on another person’s land. We have unyoked ourselves from mere environmental stewardship…the very basis of our existence on earth and God’s instruction OCCUPY TILL I COME. Is it not ironic that we claim to be rich, but in the real sense of the matter, we are otherwise, and unable to understand the developmental priorities which shape the UN SDGs?

We must build a love climate where we show unconditional empathy, where environmental concerns are second nature, and where developmental priorities trend upward in our daily behaviours.

We must wipe out waste from our attitude, our methods, and our processes because it is an attitude that is unhelpful.

We have to cultivate attitudes and build processes for saving, sharing and caring. These are truly times that test men’s faith, and we have no option but to live the good life by sharing the much we have with people. It must be our heart’s cry that “there is a place for everything and everything has its place”.There is no better time than now to ensure that we waste less and share more. That is the true life, and it just makes sense.
