It has the same shape as a sprayer used to spray a traditional wedding box called the potomanto. If you drank from an earthenware after eating roasted corn and pear please gather here.

Nigerians are unique people. I found out that we are more United in abroad than in the country. I Visited a friend in Luxembourg only to find out that most Nigerians mounts the bars. You don’t need to ask questions. I just whispered to the guy. Are u a Nigerian and he said yes. Boom we connected sharp sharp. He isn’t even of my tribe. You see as we dey yab Tinubu and the rest here. If a Ghanaian try am Omo we go pounce on the person. Only Nigerians have the right to insult their leaders.

How does this work?


A better picture is attached below. It is called a "Flit gun". The device is just essentially a handheld pump sprayer used to apply the Flit insecticide you see in the metal container in the picture attached by the OP.
To use the Flit gun, you would first fill the reservoir with the Flit insecticide solution. Then, you would pump the handle back and forth to build up pressure inside the reservoir. This pressure would force the insecticide out through the nozzle in a fine mist or spray.

It just goes the show the success if those brands in Nigeria. And let's not think this is a Nigerian thing. It's worldwide. In the UK, there was a time all Vaccum cleaners were called "Hoover"
