Approximate estimate: ₦18,150. Just think about people who treat this as their full-time occupation. €11 per day multiplied by 30 days equals €330, which converts to approximately ₦544,500. So, how does that compare with an average monthly salary in Nigeria?

Others might assume he’s earning quite well, but in reality, he covers all expenses himself. Suppose a bottle or can is priced at around 1 euro; supermarkets typically charge about double that amount along with taxes. Consequently, when recycling helps decrease pollution and conserve resources, one ends up receiving a modest refund as compensation.

Do they really criticize Germany for doing ironwork?

@Mercury said:

If they implement such a system in Nigeria, just as with your folks over there, nobody would tolerate it; you always find something wrong to criticize. These kinds of systems continue to be marketed here.
