There were no waste management trucks where I lived, and every other open space had a fine attached to dumping trash there, so I didn't go close. I thought it was a small issue, but my dustbin kept piling up, and I knew something had to be done. A friend suggested an open space where she usually dumped her trash at night, and it seemed like a great alternative. So, I started throwing trash there. One night, I was with another friend and we decided to go throw my trash together. That was the day my luck ran out. Apparently, it was also an illegal site for dumping trash. Some people saw us and started speaking Yoruba. My friend was Yoruba, so she heard them, and as a sharp girl, she quickly ran away. Me, I didn’t understand Yoruba so, I stood there. My people, I ended up packing other people’s trash that night. The people who caught us made sure I packed more than enough trash and even followed me to my house to make sure I carried the trash inside. I nearly cried. Thankfully, it was night so people hardly saw my face. If not, na so I for face disgrace. 😂😭” — Mwuese. Your story could be the next one featured here.
