4 Most Shocking Facts on Dirty Habits in Nigeria


1. 33 million Nigerians defecate in the open depositing 1.7 million tonnes of
fæces in the environment annually.

2. 20% of Nigerians expect to be consoled for farting or belching without apologies.

3. 90% of Nigerian food vendors and cooks handle food immediately after blowing their noses.

4. 90% of Nigerians don’t wash their hands after urinating by the roadside.

The minister is just another Nigerian dumb-ass who is worsening the incompetence of public service in Nigeria.
