Full Series Name: W.T.F., How? When That 9 Yr Old Tweeted to Stop Using Plastics, I Thought…Ah Never Mind As we spoke in the little English they spoke and the zero French or Twi I had, it became apparent that the boys were not Ghanaian, but actually migrant workers from Mali, Ivory Coast, Niger etc… who sorted the plastics which were collected and delivered from around Accra into large bundles for buyers at US$0.50 per kilo for recycling who in turn made lot more than US$0.50 per kilo.

Rico isn't one for the gift of the gab (he will drop the occasional f-bomb). He's a visual soul, direct in speech, and frankly, not keen on penning “captions”, “statements", "descriptions", or "bios" – the very things that tend to put off many artists like him, who aren't silver-tongued wordsmiths. So we will keep it short and sweet… Rico documents. The End!
