They are always the first to point fingers calling other people dirty but who's surprise here at the news?
Those people are the most dirty people I have ever seen even the abokis are better than these dirty but yellow people. The other day is was a market overflowing with poos all over the place in Enugu.

Why the insult , what I wrote there is nothing but the truth. If you can't bear it I am not at fault here. Tell your people to work on their hygiene and stop preaching here.

The question is, why are you people so dirty?

the whole idea is of the thing is not when it gets to the cooking stage,now imagine the diseases and bacteria's from that bad water that would end up jumping on people in the market, airborne infections start from there, its like jesus parable of the cups neatness, just cause heat will kill bacteria does not mean we should live dirty, imagine the diseases the market woman are bringing from the dirty river themselves,with an unwashed hand they will still hand you change!

Oga...you are taking this your neatness thing to far and exaggerated! First of all, the water flows and is not stagnant so that means that the bacterial flora and contamination is very limited (you should be educated enough to know that). People hand you change from unwashed hands after doing things more heinous like pressing pus from an infected skin gangrene handling badly mutilated corpses, using their fingers to scratch the crack of their improperly cleaned anal region etc...and you still have not died. Our body defenses take care of such unforeseen maladies.

And one last thing, BACTERIA AND DISEASES DON'T JUMP ON OR INTO PEOPLE! undecided

No body goes to the market and bought food stuff then put it straight to the pot

They went their to wash the bitter leaf because of the availability of water

Bitter leaves consumes water while washing it

I am not in support of their dirty habits but if they should buy water of 500 to wash it how much will they sell out of it

It's a river and not a stagnant water, so it's flowing

Let's be honest, there's no excuse to washing food others will eat in that dirty stream. I wonder if they wash their own there too. Don't be surprised they use clean water for themselves.
I'm very sure if their customers see where they wash the vegetables, they won't buy from them, but will rather buy and wash themselves.
If you have to buy potable water to clean the vegetables you're selling, then do so and add to the cost. The river whether flowing or not carries a lot of parasites and definitely bacteria especially one that looks so dirty. Its not your regular free flowing stream from the pictures.
But I know for sure every govt should provide potable water to its citizens. That should be the main worry and we should remember to focus on that. Why is there no potable water in villages in 2018? Isn't that signs of a failed govt despite all the money Nigeria has( btw, both PDP and APC are filled with failures in ALL states)
What we see here people, is the reality of many villages, and towns/cities are not even spared.
Its time Nigerians start demanding for good governance, regardless of political affiliation, tribe or religion.
There's a reason why our life expectancy is shorter by almost half compared to developed countries. We are the cause of our own problems.
Stop making excuses for mediocrity. What is right and good will always be that, and vice versa.

Again, you’re preaching to the Choir.

Government or not, the trader shouldn’t be using safe water on produce.

The sickening thing is watching Nigerians wait for government to do everything. This is what led General Buhari to call the youths lazy.

Don’t ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for her.

This trader is passing cholera.

Maybe the choir is bereft of reasoning. Except you're part of the elite feeding fat in Nigeria, you'll know that Nigerians are the people who have the least expectations of their govt anywhere in the world. Quote me anywhere. Let me give you an example, most state and local govts have employed touts and street urchins to serve as revenue officers who extort food vendors and hawkers in the name of tax. This same state govts will not employ graduates and diploma holders as public sanitation officials to ensure that what these traders sell is not injurious to the health of the citizens, or build a waste management system or water supply system to encourage public sanitation. Now tell me if buhari is right with what he said

Have people who took their bath there died of any disease? Stagnant water like most of the ones found in Ebonyi have guinea worms larva on them which can cause an epidemic and not flowing water. Go back and read Integrated Science and Health Education for primary 4 and 5 and stop displaying your crass ignorance here! It's embarrassing!!

A Nigerian man, Chidi Okoye, has taken to social media to reveal the shocking thing he saw this morning in Anambra state. 

The man saw a group of women washing bitterleaf (used in preparing the popular Onugbu soup in Igboland) with muddy water from a dirty stream in Awka, the state capital, which they plan to sell in the market. 

He shared a picture of the women in action as he urged Nigerians to be careful and always rewash them (bitterleaf) after purchase. 

Chidi Okoye wrote; 

"This morning on my way having my routine walk, I saw these women in Awka processing Onugbu (bitterleaf) one of our favourite soups with this mud water and from there to the various markets". 

"Please rewash your bitterleaf if you are buying the already processed ones".

For those who do not wash their vegetables with salt and clean water after you purchase them,OYO is your case.

Nigerians are generally dirty to be honest. Just look at what some shameless women are doing with consumables. I won't be surprised if they defecate in the same stream.

Btw I will advise all Nigerians to stop buying garri (meant for drinking) from the streets. The rate at which giant rodents and flies perch on these consumables is just so alarming, yet we drink with so much pleasure.

It be like say this thing don dey pain you o grin cheesy Apologies, but don't take it personal. Since you're so fickle you shouldn't engage in abusive banter. Still, you'll agree that these women's activities pales when compared to mountains of refuse, indiscriminate defecations, dirty drinking water and other public health issues that bedevil our society. It is easy to judge when you've got everything working for you believe me, but my job takes me to remote places in Nigeria, and I know that Nigerians are not having it good at all
