Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊😊😊😊😊

Had those tires been used by Africans? NO. At that time?! EUROPE and USA RECYCLE THAT WASTE IN THEIR HOME. Stop exploiting Africa, STOP EXPLOITING AFRICANS!

I am an epidemiologist/vector-borne disease prevention specialist in the US. Discarded tires are basically the perfect places for mosquitos to lay eggs. Mosquitos lay their eggs in stagnant water, which tires are exceptionally good at holding. They never drain. Plus they are actually surprisingly difficult to empty: due to their shape the water just flows to the other side and stays in the tire when you try to tip the water out. People sometimes pile up tires in their backyards, and they are like mosquito breeding factories. Here in the US we have diseases like West Nile Virus which are bad enough, but I can only imagine how bad this problem is in places like Nigeria where malaria and dengue fever are endemic.

Not really helping the environment.. I mean, it’s just turning one rubber product into another. It hasn’t eliminated anything.

A smart way to create more microplastic.

Go off sis!! A true environmental Queen! Love to see this, very inspiring!

Brilliant just brilliant! Well done lady.

Good luck to her and her business, she deserves to succeed.

oh my god, I remember her! Years ago there's video about her, it used to be a lot more smaller and require a lot of man power and charcoal burning. I'm glad her business going great!

Proud of this Woman creating an entire economic nitch for her people...Expand eastward please 🇰🇪

I wish her all the best & the success of her business. One-hundred employees... WOW!

need this in soo many countries. hope this expands all over.

Did you even watch the video? It talks about how the US already recycles 80+% of all its scrap tyres. All 1st world countries recycle most of their old tyres. The problem is poorer countries where the recycling is too expensive to be worth it.

another beautiful visionary helping to save the earth. the labor intense process is still economically productive. love the vid

I'm immensely proud of this woman

She's brilliant and as her husband said "she's charming but disturbingly efficient" which I think is a great compliment.

Well done we need more people like you on this planet

The lady is amazing entrepreneur and truly inspirational.

She is strong ,positive and very nice person!Congratulation!

This woman is doing great things. Her business will only grow bigger and become more in demand not only there, but in other African countries. Nigeria is continuing to do great things ❤❤

3:56 tires leach toxins in landfills, but are "perfectly safe for playgrounds". A recent study found an increased percentage of professional soccer players that regularly played on synthetic fields, developed cancer. The percentage was higher for goalkeepers, as they tended to spend more time on the field.

Awesome stuff. Small scale businesses doing clever things to make money and help the environment at the same time.

Think of all the tire dust that’s in the environment. That’s mind boggling. It’s in everything from water to air.

Those rubber bricks are genius! If they're affordable, I could see those being used for dozens of landscaping, playground, and internal flooring uses. Affordability is the key here, no one is going to buy them if they have to pay even little extra most likely.

@@ThworkifyI wouldn't worry honestly. Asphalt and tarmac is even more toxic and plastic particles are fairly unreactive in the body and dont' even really get absorbed in the stomach. Greatest risk is probably breathing and sawdust and sand is far worse. Lead, coal fumes, etc. Oh sorry, I'm being dumb. Most tyres are thermoplastic rubber which is a mix of petroleum based plastic elastomers and natural rubbers. and a few bulking agents and processing agents. sulphur, oils, resins, silica, carbon, chalk, rayon, steel... It's about as bad as normal concrete and asphalt and car fumes

This is great for recycling, however, I'd be more interested in learning more about the health hazards of using this material, especially in areas where kids have direct contact with the material. I believe there has been more interest/studies in this more recently.

It's touched on around 8m in, but only superficially. These bricks look quite solid compared to some of the recycled rubber surfaces we see in the UK that I wouldn't want my kids playing on. The better the bricks hold together, the lower the risk. The people who should worry are those maskless factory workers, ventilation or not. Not many of them will see 60 without serious lung problems.

Thanks Insider Business, I love this content. I think this is the second video you have done on this business woman and I appreciate the follow up. Lets keep up the good work of covering some of the progress in African countries :)

"Charming, but disturbingly efficient"! Perfect!

Genius and beauty full in one. Nice mix. Gratings from Poland. We whant more recycle production.

Wonderful job, Ifedolapo! I admire anybody who can recycle in a way that creates value out of what was previously an issue. Thank you for helping keep the planet a little cleaner.

I'm highlyy impressed and pray that this project expands to the six geo-political zones in Nigeria and other parts of Africa for proper handling of non-biodegradable wastes. Kudos to you & your team ma"am, you all are doing humanity a great service.

Now THAT is stunning and Brave!

or not, just the illusion of it. cancer is something you won't get right away from exposure to things like that, but 30 years later you'll wonder why you have it when it's because you were exposed as a kid living and breathing it for years. by then the companies that made these products laugh their asses off because they cashed out while you're done for from a painful horrible death.
