 </div><p>The stench deep as the body of the dead peeping through a room abandoned for days.</p>
<p>My stomach sensed an unwanted connection from the two openings sitting above my mouth and the lines on my face wrinkled into a frown.</p>
<p>My younger brother seemed not to notice this odor in the air. We were driving pass Olusosun, the home to many homes refuse scavengers. The stench was crazy.</p>
<p>But my father dis. He hastily picked his handkerchief off the dashboard and clamped it over his nose. He drove on with a hand on the steering and another on his nose.</p>
<p>“Daddy, what’s the name of this place?” my younger brother asked.</p>
<p>“This is Olusosun,” Dad replied through his handkerchief.</p>
<p>“Why did they pack all these dirty here? Shey they cannot put it somewhere else?”</p>
<p>“This is where they pick the refuse from our houses and separate the useful things among them.”</p>
<p>“Okaaaay. They separate them into plastic, paper and others shebi?”</p>
<p>“Yes,” My dad, now looking calm as we drove past the mountains of waste, placed his handkerchief back on the dashboard. “Who told you that they separate the paper and plastic?”</p>
<p>“I read it in one book in my school.”</p>
<p>“Okay. That’s good.”</p>
<p>A little bit of pause. Dad hummed a song under his breath. I focused my attention on the hawkers we drove past. The foul air lingered in the car.</p>
<p>“What’s the name of those who pick those things?” My brother questioned.</p>
<p>“Boy, can you just shut up!” I thought to myself.</p>
<p>My dad’s eyes fixated on the windscreen, his hands relaxed on the steering.</p>
<p>“They are called Scavengers. They have an association: Scavengers Association of Nigeria (SAN)”, my dad explained.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Is Fashola part of them?”</p></blockquote>
<p>I burst into raucous laughter. Dad joined me.</p>
