The old appellation for the city of Ibadan as the dirtiest city in Nigeria is once again coming to the fore, no thanks to the heaps of refuse taking over the highways of the metropolis. The vehicular traffic witnessed in the early hours of December 31, 2016 some metres away from the popular Oja’ ba market, Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, was unimaginable at that hour of the day.

But when Nigerian Tribune was also trapped in the gridlock, got to the junction near the palace of the Olubadan, it was discovered that heaps of refuse dumped on the highway was a major contributory factor blocking the free movement of vehicles.

The scene, on further investigation, was the state of most of the major roads and public places in Ibadan metropolis. From Molete through Idi-Arere, Oja’ba, Beere to Aliwo down to Gate, refuse was a common sight either in the middle of the long dual carriage way or on the sidewalks. Coming from Dugbe through Oke-Bola, Oke-Ado and back to Molete, the story of stink is not different. On the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, particularly at the axis called Sanyo, heavy waste is also indiscriminately dumped at different spots on the roadside, just as the same was experienced at Dikat junction, Ring road, Challenge, Orita and other major roads. Adesina Bode-Animasahun, a retiree and indigene of Ibadan offered an insight into the problem, pointing out that the physical structure of the metropolis made it difficult to have a completely clean environment. If government is really serious about making Ibadan clean, it has to be decisive. It has to be more serious and stricter in enforcing environment laws. That is what the government needs to do. People don’t care what happens thereafter. What concerns them is to do what pleases them.

Sadly for you, your anambra village is the world's dirtiest and polluted city.


Not most polluted in NIGERIA of Africa, it's the most polluted in the whole wild world.



You might want to worry about your dirty and stinky village where school children walk around with their noses covered.
