In a recent online survey by the Sahara Reporters, an online news media focusing on
Nigeria, Ibadan and Lagos were described as the filth centers of the world. While Ibadan ranked
as the number one dirtiest city in the world, Lagos, despite being the economic hub of Nigeria,
was ranked fourth dirtiest city in the world. While the survey failed to enumerate the parameters
with which it came about its conclusion as well as other cities and nations ranked in the survey, it
nevertheless revealed one important fact – the fact that Nigeria is faced with the problem of
waste disposal and management.
