For Nigeria's poorest communities, finding the money for school fees can sometimes seem like an impossible task. But some parents are collecting plastic waste to pay for their children's education. Fatimoh Adeosun scours the streets of her Lagos neighborhood for plastic waste. It has a value which means it can be cashed in to pay school fees. “One day, I saw people picking plastic, I approached (the school) and asked if I could pick it and they converted it for my son's school fees and I was given the go-ahead,” she explains. But rooting around in the trash does mean she has to deal with other people's judgmental attitudes. “There are several challenges I encounter in this line of work but the motivation of seeing my son finish his education and in flying colors is what drives me. Sometimes, when we are moving the plastic waste to go sell, some folks use very derogatory statements about us,” says Adeosun. In the impoverished area of Ajegunle, many parents don't earn enough to pay school fees. But the initiative by My Dream Stead School is closing that education gap. The organization says accepting plastic waste as payment for school fees has enabled hundreds of children to return to school and receive a basic education. “Lagos generates over 800,000 (metric) tons of plastic waste annually. And having these parents bring in their waste, they are not only protecting the environment, they are also securing the future of their children through an education,” says Isaac Success, the school's founder and the man who started the plastic waste for school fees initiative. He understands the struggles of accessing education first-hand. Isaac sees this as an opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape his journey. Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children globally, a situation that poses significant challenges to the country's socio-economic development. This alarming statistic highlights a crisis that affects both rural and urban communities. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure. For Adeosun, one man's trash is another's education.

PART TWO is long but eventfulWe pick up with Ambassador to Dubai John, and he discusses draining boards, Troy and Millwall TV commentators and asks is there any point changing Head Coach before getting Pete rambling on about takeover discussions and the new deal for the distribution of Premier League money to the Championship, League 1 and League 2 clubs.Sean joins us and ask “what is happening with Andrews” and asks has he perhaps been sold already? (This is later demonstrated not to be the case). John P joins us having had a false start with the new puppy - Bailey (named after Isaac Success's favourite tipple) and asks where has the progressive signs gone as the things, we enjoyed earlier in the season have disappeared. We debate the pro's and con's of a “manager bounce” bearing in mind Chris Wilder was bought in last year and no “bounce” materialised! Steve from “That Millwall Podcast” joins us to try to give us some comfort but says if we are going to make a change then better to do it sooner than later. We like the opposition joining us post-match. Adam joins us having scored a goal from a corner at five a side but declines Pete's offer to become “set piece coach” on the basis of not being good at it – which does not appear to have been a pre-requisite previously! Gary joins us after a thoroughly enjoyable day slightly worse for wear having combined boats, drink and football in not necessarily equal measure!!! Rob joins us having enjoyed a cultural day in Oxford (both colleges and pubs) and asks for the “Love Boat Theme” music and remembers old barometers much to Pete's delight.Mal comes on just as he gets into a pub to console himself, and asks what are the benefits to getting rid of Val before Jordi joins us tell us a very disturbing tale from todays game involving homophobic comments being shouted by a Watford fan. We can surely do better than this.Wendover returns us to what amounts to normality on this podcast with stories of “line caught cod”. Greg has had enough of Valball!We do the 5 words and long forms before a message in the long forms we chat with Paul Holly who has news involving Ryan Andrews and his father – former Watford striker Wayne Andrews.
