OMG! The toilets in my boarding school back home in Nigeria were well terrible.

KarmaMod:

Oniranu. When you dont have self control not to look n ko jealously lo mu cos it's going into the baby;s mouth instead \

Walahi, I always avert my gaze o. Na only God say make I no get stiff neck from looking left for an extended period one day. What joy is there to get from watching a milk industry in production?

Urgh, over here, even at the most poshest schools, once, I saw the remainders of a bacon sandwhich on the edge a toilet seat, wonders they say shall never end

What else? Poo stains, blood, you name it, it seems like everyday there's a new 'flavor' 

maxell:

It's not just the school's bathroom; it's Liberia in general.

Dont diss my country.

To people arguing about feeding your baby outside being disgusting.

I strongly believe that it is not disgusting. Several theorist have suggested how baby get attached to their mothers through breast-feeding. what is the point of breast-pump? u might as well give your baby formula milk,  I can't believe a lady on this earth actually finds it digusting when someone breastfeed their baby outside. That doesn't have anything to do with hygiene cuz if it does, i'm sure different studies/research wud have criticise it.

I'm actually thinking the people against it (on nairaland) are bunch of 12 yr olds who knows nothing about babies, pregnancy, etc. u need to do some research!

What I hate: someone not flushing the toilet, yarning without covering mouth, coughing without covering mount, ladies not shaving their armpit and wearing a sleavless top, as in, that is a no-no.
People looking trampy.

lmao maxwell, ika ni e sha

ma'am, it still doesnt address the fact that 'most' and 'poshest' cannot be used in the same sentence.

This is ridiculous.

I hate seeing people whip out their breasts or d,icks (for those men who pee outside) in public.Yes, its not an hygiene issue but it can be said to be socially retarded to do so.

how is it ridiculous? most mothers breast-feed their baby outiside if there's a need for it n it ain't absurd or anything.

Also how is that socially retarded? socially retarded and breast-feeding can't be in the same sentence. Hence, i rest my case.

flush the toilet when finished and dnt soil the floor damn.
if u know ur hand is wet or soiled dnt bleeping shake hands with anybody(keep ur bacteria to urself)
if u know u are susceptible to bad breath,buy a mouth wash or chew gum permanently(dnt suffocate ur colleagues).
if u cant manage those chipped nails just cut them.

She did not say "retarded", she said "socially retarded". There is a difference between both. However, I agree that that was the wrong phrase to use, but I believe that Spiked meant something along the lines of many people view breast feeding in public as (socially) repugnant ^{(I may of course be wrong as to her meaning )}.

either way you try to uniform it, it's still ridiculous!

Nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public esp when a BLANKET is used to cover the baby's head, thereby covering the breast.

Na una wan be olofofo dey look at ppl's breast

una still dey yab this breast thing

@topic

seriously, i hate folks who have breath odor, and they fully know their breath is not a morning dew and still they will talk in your face making you take in all their bad breath that is so bad, even a dog could tell the difference

aunty saphire, abeg, call a spade a spade!
whether socially retarded, socially repugnant or whatever phrase you guys choose to beautify it with. it's still absurd especially when there's a baby involved.

secondly, how can you agree she used the wrong phrase? i dont see where she may have hinted or even suggested that but you've gone ahead to say that.

abeg, if we dey take sides make we sometimes 'shine our eyes'.

aunty saphire, no pun intended. me and you be like 1 and 2.

Yes, it is socially retarded i.e lacking social manners or decorum to whip out your breasts in public to feed a child. I am not saying children should not be breast fed but if you must feed your child, go somewhere private and if you don't have access to privacy, pack a bottle.
Simple.

I'm going to ignore ruby for calling me a "nna wa" woman.

How about this scenario . . . . . . .
You are at a shop and your baby starts crying.
Everyone's looking you as the baby cries.
It is almost certain that the baby wants food.

What you are saying is ‘go somewhere private and if you don't have access to privacy, pack a bottle’.

Well, it’s a shop and the only private place is the toilet _{(thats if they have one).}

Anyways, ignore the above

What if there are no private places like a bus, a plane etc? or may be the private place you are referring to maybe a public toilet.
What if you just forgot to take the bottle? . . . . . .you can’t tell me these things don’t happen.

Miss, not everyone is your world eh. Be realistic.

By the way, its best to breast feed a child than to use a bottle.

If you are going out with your child and you know your child needs to feed, search for privacy. If not, ALWAYS pack a bottle.

Of course its better to breast feed babies than to use a bottle, any doofus knows that. But do women always feed their babies in public? I mean, ALL THE TIME? The few times you are in public with your baby, please don't whip out your breasts.

Its quite achievable you know.

I also think its very akin to opening your vagina to pee in public. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do right?

I may have just cracked your views on this whole breast feeding thing. While you are going on about ‘the right thing to do’ i’m referring to ‘what’s (already) happening’ and how it is almost impossible to ignore a hungry crying baby.

if the above is right, then I’d like to inform you that things happen sometimes. I’m sure a good majority of the women who breast feed their babies in public have no other choice but to breast feed their babies. If it happens to be in public then so be it.

No loving mum will let her baby cry continuously while she looks for a private place

You know you are just being difficult.
You can’t liken breast feeding a hungry baby to a full fledged woman opening her snap cakes in public to pee. They are 2 completely different things.

The fact that its what is happening doesn't make it right. I'm not asking anyone to ignore a crying baby, don't just shove your nipples in my face during the process.

if the above is right, then I’d like to inform you that things happen sometimes. I’m sure a good majority of the women who breast feed their babies in public have no other choice but to breast feed their babies. If it happens to be in public then so be it.

The thing is most of these mothers do not know or care that it is wrong.
Imagine as an adult now that I see a picture of my mother breast feeding me on a bus when I was a baby. I will be more than embarrassed not just by the fact that she's doing this on a bus but by the fact that she didn't care if strangers were staring at her breasts.
It is madness.

No loving mum will let her baby cry continuously while she looks for a private place

Before the so called mum lets it get to the "continuous" stage of crying, she would have popped in a feeder in the baby's mouth.

You know you are just being difficult.

Lol. And you are being. . . . ? I aired my views on here and you have disagreed with me even though you could have just let it go. Who is difficult again?

You can’t liken breast feeding a hungry baby to a full fledged woman opening her snap cakes in public to pee. They are 2 completely different things.

Why not? Burning loins as opposed to a hungry baby? Take care of yourself first they say. . . .

Next!?

Should I be surprised that majority that are against feeding babies outside have also expressed that they arent keen on having kids themselves?

Im Not.

Either way I hate hearing a crying baby on the train, PLANE, library, whatever either cos it's hungry or fussy, whatever. That is way worse than a woman feeding a baby in public.

I wish the only reason why people cry uncontrollably in public was cos of hunger. At least then the solution is simple.

I want kids o, eyin aiye!

my teacher in the primaries made me understand that the young ones of a goat are called kids

Look Papa Nnamdi, I clearly stated that that way my personal opinion and not Spiked as my definition of  the term "socially retarded" is narrower than hers. My eyes dey shine well well. Irrespective of whatever you say, I still think breastfeeding a baby in the full glare of the public is in bad taste. You keep on going about a crying baby in a supermarket or some other place. Every mother knows that babies need to be fed regularly (or at certain intervals), that is why many mothers express their breast milk into bottles for those very public places when it is inappropriate to whip out a breast. And since it is the same breast milk, the nutrients are the same. Clearly, many women do this or else we would perpetually have breasts thrust in our faces all day everyday.

A "loving" and responsible mum would have come prepared. Yes, there are times that things do not work out, but some women breastfeed whether it is an emergency or not. How does one explain that obnoxious woman always breastfeeding on my bus?

@ Ruby, obviously, if there was a blanket over the breast, I won't even complain much. But believe me, there are so many women who do not bother with this (obviously, some do, but not all).

Anyway sha, everyone has their own views on the matter. You guys think it is fine, I think it is repugnant.

Ben20001:

ROFLMAO. . .they are, but like many things, the meaning has evolved. Almost the same as when I was little, Pussy meant a cat and Cock meant a male chicken and D.I.C.K was simply a name. LOL

Iwo lo mo o. You are not what? Keen on having kids?

I hate to see GIRLS pee in public. That is a No-No.
I also hate it when people sneeze into their hands and rub it on their head.
Same with pips who scratch their arses in public like they plan on pulling out shit!
