Rivers State - Clean or Poor




I could not help but notice that while commuting the internal roads of the garden city
there seem to be a note worthy state of cleanliness on her roads.


My interest was narrowed to the plastic bottles used for packaging soft drinks and water.
There seemed to be close to none on the streets and roads. 
To whom do we owe our thanks for this development?

Should we owe our thanks to RIWAMA for their timely removal of refuse accross the state
or to the low income earners that have made a trade
from the sale of thier products in recycled cans of the sort.




The efforts of these low income earners have made the state experience some level of cleanliness could easily go unnoticed and unappreciated. However, it is being encouraged indirectly as consumers of their products whatever their economic or social status may be, patronize them.

This can be seen in products like palm oil, groundnut oil, groundnut, cashew nut, soft drinks like the common and popular ZOBO drink Or KUNU the list goes on and on.

Consumers of these products indirectly encourage the streets to be clean by creating a market for the sale of commodities in recycled cans.
