Getting Into The Solid Waste Collection Business Femi Abolade | April 19, 2017 | We are professionals and I wouldn't want to stand defining what solid waste is. But we know that it is that waste which is not free flowing. Examples include waste paper, polythene, wood, garbages, glass, rags and so on. One of the major problem we have in every nook and cranny of the Nation is the issue of waste collection and disposal. We may talk about Recycling, sometimes later, but for now, I will limit this seminar to solving the problem of waste disposal. Let me tell you that you are not the only person repulsed by the indiscriminate disposal of refuse everywhere. Members of the public are also not comfortable with this problem. They are waiting for somebody to solve that problem. They are actually WAITING FOR YOU TO ACT! What are you supposed to do? Help them collect it and disposed it of course! The next question that comes to our minds is how do I fund it. But I tell you...

CLOSING ORDER! - A Short Story (2) By Femi Abolade Continued from last week In case you missed the part 1 of this interesting short story, you can read it here http://femiabolade.blogspot.com.ng/2017/04/closing-order-short-story.html O ya, let's go there..... ******************* On number 15 Tekobo street, stood an old one-story building.

He was quickly cautioned by Wole, who, even though had pe...

Migingo, The Most Densely Populated Island in the World Femi Abolade | April 3, 2017 | 7.50am Migingo, a tiny rock island on Lake Victoria, in Kenya, measures just 0.49 acres, but is officially home to 131 residents – although some sources put the population at around 1,000 – making it the most densely populated island in the world. The so-called “Iron Clad Island” of Migingo (after the metal shack shanty town covering it almost entirely) has a very unclear history. According to some accounts, it was originally settled by two Kenyan fishermen, Dalmas Tembo and George Kibebe, who came here in 1991 and laid the foundation of today’s community. Others say that it was a Ugandan, Joseph Unsubuga, who came here first and then brought more of his fishing friends.
