News Extra- Recycling in Nigeria

Recycling is practised in many developed countries but it is yet to gain traction in this part of the world. Recycling is believed to result in a more competitive economy and a cleaner environment and can contribute to more sustainable development. Look around your environment and count how many products are made of plastic around you. Ask yourself where they all end up when you no longer have a need for them and now multiply by the number of persons in your household, office, and neighbourhood, and what you have is a lot of plastic, too much plastic in fact. Scavenging activities can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by recycling inorganic and organic materials. For news extra today, RadioNow’s Chika Agu examines the culture of recycling in Nigeria and some of the people behind it.

News Extra- the podcast- the fighting in Afghanistan

The fighting in Afghanistan is nothing like Afghans have seen in the past 20 years. The Taliban have made their way to the capital- Kabul, capturing cities on their way, forcing president Ashraf Ghani to run away. The united states have evacuated all diplomats from their embassy while deploying a thousand troops to help with the evacuation. The Taliban’s quick takeover comes as the united states insist on leaving the middle eastern country after 20 years of fighting led to the deaths of thousands of soldiers and the loss of billions of dollars without any success in bringing democracy to the people.
