Instead of burning people with, this artist has a better plan for tyres

The idea that there is such a thing as waste is a lie.

Ask Eluagu William, our plastic sculupture guy, or ask this proud son of Oputa who’s recycling tyres in the most amazing way.

My mother , called me a hoarder because I never let past things go, but I just like old things. So I never ” FORGET THE ROOT OF KNOWLEDGE “…, which I breath into my art , mixed with my current emotions = #tubberart . #MLOD . Thank you again for understanding .

The most (un)popular use of waste tyres in these parts is jungle justice. You know, where a righteously angry crowd puts a tyre round a person’s neck because they suspect he stole a spoon somewhere. They then find petrol even when it is scarce, douse their victim, and then light him up. But MLOD, as he likes to sign his post and work, is doing something amazing with tyres.

So while you see this on the road,

12F tire – I am still thinking of a down hill ride.

This is called Tubber art, and in a poor recycling culture like ours, there can be no better time to find good use of what we would normally consider waste material. Isn’t this makeup set like none you’ve ever seen?
