What's the plan of the government to reabsorb workers in that industrial section?

donaldking10:
big big talk.
they should come to my house & enforce it na.

jmoore:
E go hard oh!

When was it banned?

You ban something same day you are implementing the ban.

Do you know traders have such goods worth hundreds of millions of naira in their possesion? They should burn their goods abi?

The best solution is to work with the manufacturing companies so they can switch to producing paper takeaway packs.
The enduser is not your problem.

Angelfrost:
Good one.

You people should serve food with plates or use Leaves.

Anyone who is observant enough would see first hand the havoc these styrofoam packs cause to our drainages...but they don't just develop legs and walk to these drains, they're used and disposed by people. And until we develop a comprehensive waste management approach to deal with stuff like these, you can ban styrofoam today and something else will just take its place tomorrow.

Plastics are recyclable but styrofoams are not!

The styrofoam take away packs will be replaced with plastic ones. I guess people generally goes for styrofoam packs before now because they are cheaper.

Same issues are also posed by plastics used to package soft drinks, are we going to ban those too??

mrrandomguy:
Good development. In fact a ban on "nylon bags" should follow ASAP.

What irritates me is the ignorance of so called educated Nigerians and some Nairalanders who happens to be among the dumbest set of people on the planet.

Styrofoam and plastic/nylon bags have nothing to do with global warming.
I see people mixing up soil and water pollution with the scam called "global warming". They are not the same.

Global warming is an illusion created and promoted by a group of billionaires to gain more power and control over society.

What we should be concerned about as environmentalists is land, soil, air and water pollution, not "Global warming" which does not exist.

FalseProphet1:
I see the prices of nylon bags skyrocketing, I see weddings and parties putting Rice inside nylon bags for people as take away, I see guests saying that they prefer nylon bags to Styrofoam because once you tie nylon bag the food would not pour.

I see a thread about Styrofoam and nylon bags which do you prefer hitting the front page, I see Nigerians learning how to eat with their bare hands from nylon bags.

This I have seen.
