This paper examines the dynamics of environmental change of physical spaces and the behaviour of the residents of a formerly close-knit community whose belief systems are contrary to their lifeworld situation as observed in Urora settlement in Benin City, Nigeria. The findings revealed that the satellite images show that the study area was much greener 20 years ago and environmentally attractive compared to the current time. Lack of infrastructure such as waste bins has led to a shift in mindset among the residents to accommodate illegal dumping contrary to attitudes in the past. Population growth and refuse generation and disposal is also a significant challenge. Based on the findings, the paper posits for the realignment and reconsideration of the embodied sacredness of nature with the mode of expression of the past which was pro-environmentally inclined and focussed.
Keywords: sacredness, desecration, languaging, othering, domestic waste.
