Hello everyone #Web3, My names are Fiyai Daniel
I'm a Nigerian artist and I’m making this thread as a shill for all my photography NFT's still up on different marketplaces.
Every form of support would be deeply appreciated (rt, likes, and collecting my work)

In 2008, I published my thesis titled Traditional Revolution: Formalizing the Informal, examined the role of waste pickers and scavengers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, and how they could be integrated into a modern waste management system rather than treated as a nuisance.
The paper argued that waste pickers form the foundation of an informal recycling network that already performs an important public service. And Instead of leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and exclusion, I proposed a framework that formalizes their activities, creates economic opportunities, improves collection efficiency, and reduces the burden on government.
More than a decade later, the same principles remain relevant. Sustainable solutions require planning, inclusion, and execution, not endless excuses.
Sadly, the environmental mess confronting our state is the result of policy failures and poor implementation. It is also the consequence of poor imagination and a lack of leadership.
You can explore the thesis at the link below.
