Lylon bags have become a menace actually bt that’s why we shud have alternatives, waste recycling companies and better waste disposal laws that protect the environment. Craziestgirl: Seems no more pure water. Probably use dispensers or bottle water. 2 Likes |

donvicky2007: And plastic bags are stopping you people from doing that? Misplaced priority, It's simple, their is no country in the world where those plastic bags are not being used, we are just too poor in the area of waste management, the bags are recyclable and can be remould into other products, Singapore and many other well meaning countries do that, nothings stops those lazy lawmakers from thinking in that direction, this will not only guarantee job security for those already in the business but create more job opportunities in the area of waste management. |

Paper bags... in this rainy season? I've never seen representatives so disconnected from the reality on ground. I understand that all the poly bags we have are an issue (pollution, landfill, drainage issues), but there is no viable alternative being offered. We should be looking at biodegradable options that are water resistant. Or making reusable cloth shopping bags. But how will it keep your goods dry? They could have even announced an initiative to recycle nylon bags, or give people an incentive to recycle and make new things with them, but we just like to ban without actually thinking through a problem. Now they've just given police and many other self-important groups to collect fines. lunacol:People who are barely coping with pure water prices will be asked to "upgrade" to bottle abi? 2 Likes |

We had paper bags in the past before nylon came in for those who can remember, I think this is a good idea but do we have companies producing such these days before this ban? Just having mixed feelings sha 2 Likes |

Great news, though I don't expect implementation. "Pure water" should be banned as well. Cheap plastic/nylon bags, and "pure water" sachets account for most of the waste that clogs up our streets, drainages and waterways. We will radically mitigate the problem of non-biodegradable waste the day we ban these items. 2 Likes |

These clueless bunch would leave legislations that will have significant impact on the country and start making stupid legislations. They only ended up, making plastic bags a costly commodity. I better go buy a load of it for use till next year. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill Proscribing Plastic Bags, Set Fine For Offenders by Nobody: 11:53pm On May 21, 2019 |
This is long overdue. Have you been to Bariga or some parts of Akoka? You need to see the disaster nylon bags are causing. Or just come to Mushin during the rainy season. It should be banned abeg. I just hope the government will stick to fining companies producing it with huge amounts of money. 1 Like |
