In Nigeria It's Alarming To note that out of every ten men, 6 urinate publicly, and from world statistics 49 Million Nigerians urinate in public.
Mr James Okafor, An Owner Of A Soap Factory In Aba complains bitterly, "I wonder if Aba people ever read signs, people normally come to urinate at the gutter in front of my factory before it was built and I expected them to read the signs and stop urinating In front of my business premises." every morning I come to work, the stench of urine fills the air, and I can hardly bear it anymore". Mrs Folake Ogunjimi, A Trader In Lagos Also Aired her view on this in pidgin ,"Every day wey I come my shop to sell food for customers, this place they always smell piss piss, I don warn these agberos make dem no dey urinate for my shop, them no wan hear word, now customers dy run from my shop because say e dy smell piss '" It is common in Nigeria to see "DO NOT URINATE HERE, ORDER BY POLICE" signposts or even printed boldly on the walls of houses. Some people suggest that the Government ought to provide Public Toilets around the area. A staff of an NGO focused on Improving the Environment said that even if public Toilets are provided it would serve as a nesting ground for diseases since many Nigerians lack maintenance culture and also it would have increased the spread of Ebola when it was in the country since people who come to relieve themselves are not monitored.. My view on this is that The Government should ban urinating In Public and the consequence for disobeying this law should be Two Weeks Public Service.
If not, in a few years time people would line up and urinate in front of various public institutions or even in front of Aso Rock. We should Try To Create A Conducive Environment For Everyone.
