Biafra rep: I thought that open defecation AKA short-put was the exclusive preserve of the Yorubas until i went northwards, Kogi to be precise, OMG it was unbelievable, men, women and children, shamelessly defecating in public while clutching a ridiculous looking plastic kettle they'll use to wash their ass when they are through! It was so disgusting and it still sends jitters down my spine whenever i remember it. Those in Lokoja area don't even bother to build toilets in their houses, they simply empty their bowel into the rivers Niger and Benue. During my service year there, i vowed never to eat anything prepared by them. I thank God for the east such things are rare over there.
=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º‎​=)) the same thing in some villages in bayelsa. Where a lot of dem just dump d shit into d rivers
Oh how I miss the sanctity of my calabar, place where cleanliness is part nd parcel of the ppls culture

360command: This UN na lie.i for like know the countries ranked in the top 5. What of ghana? In ghana,they build houses without public toilets. If you go to the banks,there are no toilets for the public.if you go to filling stations,no public toilets for the masses.even in normal homes(compound houses),there is no toilet like that.this same thing applies to benin rep,burkina and even my love for ivory coast. Even india poo outside.

Please count Cote D’ivoire out of the mentioned countries, I am a Nigerian, I have been to all the mentioned countries, only Cote D’ivoire that have the best toilet system in West Africa, for example in Abidjan, all the toilets are channeled into the sea, that makes it more better than all the mentioned countries, even if they do, it is not like other countries you mentioned. I know that 4 other countries in the write up, India will top, because it is one of the dirtiest countries in the world I have been to.

According to a joint UNICEF and World Health Organization report this year, more than 1.1 billion people in the world practice open defecation. The largest number of these people are in [size=14pt]India (626 million), followed by Indonesia (63 million), Pakistan (40 million), Ethiopia (38 million), and Nigeria (34 million).[/size]

News note
On World Toilet Day, ending open defecation is possible, says UNICEF

NEW YORK, 19 November 2012 — On World Toilet Day, UNICEF says that trends in the past five years allow for cautious optimism that significant progress will be made in decreasing the number of people globally who practice open defecation.

A lack of toilets remains one of the leading causes of illness and death among children. UNICEF estimates that around 2 million children die each year from pneumonia and diarrhoea, illnesses which are largely preventable with improvements in water, sanitation and hygiene.

Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (CATS), now being supported by UNICEF in 50 countries around the world, including crucial ones in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, have already led to more than 39,000 communities, with a total population of over 24 million people, being declared free of open defecation within the last five years.

UNICEF estimates that with support from governments and other partners, an additional 88 million people now live in communities free of open defecation.

“The beauty of this approach is that solutions are not imposed from the outside,” says Therese Dooley, UNICEF's senior advisor on sanitation, “Communities themselves take the lead and identify their own measures to end open defecation. Only then can it work.”

In South Sudan, which in 2011 became the world’s newest country, already five communities have achieved ‘open defecation free’ status, showing that poverty is not an insurmountable barrier to ending open defecation. The World Bank estimates the poverty rate in the country at 50.9 per cent. While South Sudan does not yet have a ranking on UNDP’s Human Development Index, all indications are that it will be close to the bottom.

In Pakistan, through UNICEF-supported CATS programmes, almost 5,000 villages with a total of 5.8 million people have been declared free of open defecation. Rapid and notable improvements have also been made in Mozambique, Zambia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Malawi and Ethiopia.

CATS aim to make all communities free of open defecation by focusing on social and behaviour change and the use of affordable, appropriate technologies.

The emphasis is on the sustainable use of sanitation facilities rather than the construction of infrastructure, and the approach depends on the engagement of members of the community ranging from individuals, to schools, to traditional leaders. Communities use their own capacities to attain their objectives and take a central role in planning and implementing improved sanitation.

According to a joint UNICEF and World Health Organization report this year, more than 1.1 billion people in the world practice open defecation. The largest number of these people are in India (626 million), followed by Indonesia (63 million), Pakistan (40 million), Ethiopia (38 million), and Nigeria (34 million).

“No aid operation in the world can provide toilets for1.1 billion people,” says Dooley. “They have to do it for themselves—with support. And we've found, in fact, that it is only when they do it for themselves that the changes are achievable and sustainable.”

I think at this juncture, it is safe to say that you are an accursed product of the unholy union between a diseased phallus and a maggot infested vagina. A ranking that brings the whole nation into ridicule is celebrated by a buffoon like you and liked by your fellow cretins because you claim a certain ethnic group has patent rights over it? So places like Ajegunle, Ihiala, Nyanya and other places in Nigeria are only inhabited by Yourbas abi? The open air defecation which is done everyday in homes, schools, offices, orientation camps across Nigeria e.t.c are done by only Yorubas right? Every single tribe in every single state in Nigeria bar none is guilty of this and its a collective shame on all of us.

It's a collective shame, but the situation is worse in some areas more than others. No need being so defensive. Perhaps Fashola can focus a bit more on sanitation in Lagos instead of taxing and tolling roads in high brow areas. I think, however, the nomadic cattle rearers might be the sole reason for this rating- they are numerous and just go about dumping their thing wherever. As long as such nomadic animal farming is allowed, we have to be ready to live with this stigma.
