Make it on the spot payment of #100 and you see will the magic. How many people can boast of having 18000 gees  their?

N20,000?? D penalty makes it look like a childs play, I think it should redress n dere should be stationed alternative in place.

Things like this should be in born by now. So what happens when a 12 year old does this? Who says the fine?

Like some1 rightly said, the first step is to provide the neccessary means for the easy disposal of waste. Then followed by law, orientation and sensitization of the public.
But as for the fine, i think it's too much on the high side i think N500 will be ok for easy payment.
If one pays N500 for N5 sachet as fine, next time he will think before acting and failing to pay should be given the option of doing any social service or end up in detention to be release unconditionally on the following day.

N20,000 is unrealistic to me eventhough there is good intent behind the policy as it will create good environment.

N20,000 ke? I hope this is not another Dimeji Bank-Ole tactic to loot money off the poor masses?

Egungun(masqurade) that extort money from pple will go to jail.

If you give money to beggars, you will go to jail.

If you . . .


I beg i tire for all these go to jail, go to jail,

Create jobs, create enabling environment for pple and improve welfare. Haba

What is so difficult about not throwing pure water sachet on the floor Dirty People!!!
In places where people think right, there need not be a fine. It should only be a simple instruction. . . Use it and trash it properly. But for Naija, it has to be different because we always too sabi.
Haba Nigerians!!!

i think this picture was taken after work

this fine is too much, and the state govt. should also increase the social standard of its citizens

Police go just use am chop money or whoever is to enforce it.

Another avenue for bribery and corruption to thrive. Enforcement will not be easy anyway.

So, the excuse for throwing pure water sachet on the floor is unemployment

Do you have to be rich to not throw pure water sachet on the floor Isn't this law a means of increasing social standards

How about another avenue to keep the environment clean. Are we animals that we need the police/law to make sure we do not live like pigs

Nigerians!!! we are our own worst enemies. And with attitudes like this, we will be complaining about corruption. We definitely have the leaders that we deserve.

Lol. Good thing other states are picking this method. Its been on in Enugu since 2007 and its a N5k penalty.
Inhabitants tend to be more conscious of their dirty habits then.
But then, N20k is on the high side.

the very poor people of osun state who cannot afford bottle water will now pay such a fee for just dropping pure water sachet haabaa is it a method by osun state to collect back all the money he gave them during election

This is the reason why we never see any change in Naija. Why can't the very poor people who can't afford bottle water JUST drop their pure water sachet in a dustbin
Unnecessary sentiments!!!

Sure say dem go take am serious

can they carry that rule to Anambra State??

I am very sure the govt. is not interested in making money of the pple but to create the fear of messing the environ. Not against it anyway.

Obe deeee

Become a volunteer Man 'O' War and you become very rich,

What of Eva bottled water drunk? N50,000 maybe,

Useless law because of the magnitude of the fine. Most people in that region can hardly make that a month. So what are you going to do when they just don't have the means to pay? Lock them up? How much will that now cost the state for every day of the lock up?

Something within N2000 - N5000 will be more ideal.

The law will even be more useless if they do not provide alternative disposal bins/spots every 1 km or less and ensure the enforcers can only enforce based on reasonable evidence.

They had better put checks and balances on the enforcement of this law. I foresee a future where police start arresting people with pure water in their hands saying they have the intent of dropping it on the ground

Exactly what I am saying - Reasonable evidence!

What stops the enforcers permanently holding a water sachet and claiming people dropped it and extorting people by false accusation except they settle with N5K to avoid a N20K fine or jail?
