#TrashChallenge: More Youths, States Joining The Challenge - See The Lists

For the very first time in the history of Nigeria, if that word is correct, our youths seem to be coming together to form a formidable force and work together as a team. This is a signal that we are beginning to have youths who will take the future of Nigeria to the next level.

It's not every time we report negative stories about the youths, there are still some that are blazing the trail and keeping the game up!

The #TrashChallenge which started as a global challenge seems to put Nigerian Youths at the edge as they suddenly seem to be coming together! Lagos started the fire then Ibadan picked it up and then we have a small group of people in Abuja and then we have a two-man MolPol in Akwa, Anambra State, Kano State, and Kwara State. All these challenges have one thing in common, keeping the environment clean.

It is no news that Nigerians care less about their environment, irrespective of tribes and our locality, we all are guilty of this in one way or the other. It's only in Nigeria that you dispose of your items on the walkway despite seeing the trash bin very close to you. Our mentality to cleanliness as a nation is fast deteriorating and that's why this challenge seems to be a walk-up call to every.

The Ibadan people are fired up to do something new, this is despite some group of people who have done their cleaning at Agodi Gate in Ibadan last week, a group of people with some influencers alongside with The Beat FM and Naija FM Ibadan teamed up and they went to clean up Iwo Road, Ibadan. For those who know Iwo Road very well, its a place where anything goes, they are dirty and careless about their environment. These youths do not mind the dirtiness and they decided to clean up the surrounding, some even came from their office, some came during break period to be part of this challenge.

The Nigerian version of the #TrashChallenge first takes place at Lagos where a group of young Nigerians took it upon their selves to clean up their surroundings voluntarily. The group first start off from Obalende under the bridge while some others kick off from their various locality.

The aim of this challenge is to replicate it all over the country and if possible over the continent, Africa. #TrashChallenge is a global challenge where various group of people clean up their environment.

A group of people in Ibadan came together to clean up their environment and this time, they went to the dirtiest place in the area and they chose Agodi Gate in Ibadan. The initiative was spearheaded by Miss Halima, she was able to gather some youths together and together, they did their best to keep Ibadan keep.

Imagine if our youths can come in their numbers once a month to keep their environment clean if we can stay off social media and take the challenge to the street and walk the talk and stop being an e-warrior or keyboard fighter, what a wonderful world the world will be.
