The cities are where the population is most concentrated. With the possible exception of Nigeria, the majority of West Africans do not live in these large cities.
And their refuse, as the world's biggest toilet aka the Niger River indicates, spills across entire countries.

What differentiates the website you gave from any other amateur webblog, geocities, or myspace posting?
First of all, it's not "amateur": It's the website of a respected journal of African history and culture. But since you don't seem to accept anything African as worthy of your consideration, that probably won't convince you.
Anybody can throw out a book title or author.
But nothing specific from it until I hounded you about it for 2 weeks, the entirity of which you vigorously resisted.
You would have to prove that. I gave you numbers. You wouldn't accept them because they came from an African journal whose website you didn't find aesthetically pleasing. I then gave you the information of a book that covered the subject in greater depth. When you refused to read it, I found the book myself and typed out the figures for to satisfy your petulant demands.
And anybody can check that book, especially when the author, title and publication information have been given.
Then, as now, you exhibited overt hostility toward meeting that burden.
I've become annoyed by your refusal to accept facts that do not support your skewed vision of the past.
Yet enough of them do for the refuse to be a major problem.

Indeed, and as dirty as Big Muddy happens to be from both natural and human causes, the risk of raw sewage floating by is tiny compared to just about any major river in the non-civilized parts of the world. Over hear in the states we run out sewage through closed lines and into treatment plants that provide sanitation. Your kin simply dump it into the ally, which it follows into the street, then stream, then river, then back into the drinking supply. It's one of the reasons people travelling to Africa normally take vaccines while people travelling to any city on the Mississippi do not have to.

So respected that it devotes entire issues to the "culture" of hip hop music? http://www.africultures.com/anglais/list_article_E.asp#21
Remember - you said to look at their content. Well I'm looking at their content right now and I see a bunch of poorly translated PC-laden pseudointellectual Afrocentric left wing drivel...which would make it the perfect magazine for you!
