In his words:

“I’m not happy with the way I see waste littering everywhere, it has become our normal way of life and which isn’t supposed to be our way of life.”

The Nigerian Spider-Man as he is popularly called added that he hates dirty environments so much. When he was cleaning in mufti, it was hard to convince people to join him in the exercise.

He taught people

In a part of his video interview, the man carried a woman’s baby as he lectured people on the need to keep their environment clean.

He said:

“We need to stop the belief that we are dirty people. Ther’s so much litter in our society today because there’s no regulation.”

Jonathan said sanitation officials no longer visit people’s homes anymore to see how clean their environments are.

Father behaved like Spider-Man

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a funny dad who knows how to improvise got into a Spider-Man costume to impress his son who had been insisting on seeing the movie character live.

He simply put on the costume and performed in front of his son who was impressed and convinced that he was seeing Spider-Man.

After squatting and talking to the little boy, the man stood up, moved to a corner and flipped with both hands and then disappeared into a door. Other kids joined in laughing with the obviously impressed son.
