You are right. Parts of Lagos and Aba are super-filthy (i've lived in both places) but the at least 18 other Nigerian cities i've visited or lived in have areas that are as dirty as the poster describes. People just don't care about proper sanitation. indiscriminate noseblowing, spitting, littering, etc. My greatest fear during the SARS epidemic in China was that it should not spread to naija because we'll all be wiped out in a week max.

huh?

Even where waste bins are provided, many people ignore them. ATM machine sites are a case in point. Eateries are another.


we go die if we build our own toilets? Government this, government that.  Ariaria market, Aba, as big as it is, suffers terrible flooding whenever it rains and all those millionaire traders literally sit on stools in the flood waters rather than rally together to solve their problems.


are all these Nigerians peeing and shitting in the streets camping? I saw a fully grown man shyting at the gate of UCH, Ibadan. He looked sane enough, dressed for work. I saw fully grown men performing the same exercise at the bus stop in Idumota. could hardly believe my eyes. Seun, were they camping?


post that as a new topic and you'll get my two cents then

Well,I don't trust those arabians popularly known as white hausa.They are not trustworthy.They could be looking for a way to conceal their nuclear weapons in Nigeria.Well it takes a black hausa to sign a deal with a white hausa.they are "MOLAS" in general.

iranians are persian and not arab

Uti and Tawana are in an unecessarily heated debate on religion; very sensitive topic.

The guy dey preach to the babe, hes actually quite knowledgeable on the bible; she seems like an atheist; "the bible is the words of men", "I have another name for God"(Oprahs religion) etc etc



Seems like Nigerians have a peculiar way of shoving things down peoples' throats. . .

Chrisbenogor:

The earlier we kick china's ass out of naija market the better for everyone.

NIGERIA may have put this year’s episode of the Television Reality Show, Big Brother Africa, in jeopardy following its insistence on rejecting the broadcast of the three months programme in any part of the country.

The House of Representatives had in 2007 placed a ban on the TV Reality Show beamed across the world from South Africa and sponsored by Muti-Choice Communications in protest against the heavily salacious images known with Big Brother Africa.

The ban came about following a motion sponsored by the House of Representatives Committee on Communications headed by Honourable Dino Melaye seeking to block the broadcast of the programme from the Nigerian air space.

The motion had complained against the permission of nudity of among House mates in Big Brother, even as the inmates had the free will to engage in sexual acts, a practice considered by the lawmakers as “barbaric, obscene, unethical and un-African.

The outrage expressed by members of the House against Big Brother Africa emanated from the manner by which a Nigerian girl; Ofuneka, was defiled after being lured into a lurid sexual with the influence of alcohol by a fellow House mate, even as the images of the sexual act were broadcast live and watched in many Nigerian homes.

Ofuneka, considered as having the brightest chances of winning the prize in Big Brother scad came second at the end of the TV reality show, prompting Nigerians who were familiar with the trend of award tricks by Big Brother to accuse the organizers as utterly biased.

Some Nigerians believed that the orgy of sexual act thrown in the way of Ofuneka was the reason she could not win the $100,000 prize offered by the sponsors, as the man who lured her into committing the open sin eventually carted home the entire amount.

A Nigerian who participated in an earlier version of Big Brother before Ofuneka also fell short of winning the $100,000 cash prize having came closer to doing so. That had prompted the audience in Nigeria to believe that the Big Brother is all about regional politics.

Not happy with its inability to air the next episode of Big Brother in Nigeria, Multi-Choice Communications had however, begun intense lobbying around the corridors of power with intent to committing the authorities into accepting to lift the ban on the broadcast.

The House of Representatives had however, agreed to lift the ban on the airing of Big Brother, but with a clause that it should not allow any salacious or sexual scene among the House mates, a condition which Multi-Choice appeared not keen about accepting.

The communication company had from the start of this week, intensified lobby in convincing the House of Representatives members from releasing the Nigerian air space for the broadcast of the TV reality show.

Speaking with Saturday Tribune, the House Committee Chairman on Communication, Honourable Dino Melaye, said Nigeria would not change its mind on the ban.

He reiterated that the programme could only be aired in the country provided Multi- Choice would leave out unethical scenes including open cuddling, nuzzling, smoking and sexual acts by House mates.

The argument by the sponsors of Big Brother Africa for not accepting that condition, Saturday Tribune learnt was that the essence of the reality show would have been defeated if such licentious scenes were left out.

The reality show was initially scheduled to begin last month as advertised, whereas the delay in the broadcast has been the making of the mindset of the government of Nigeria on the broadcast. Nigeria is considered the biggest catchment for the television programme by Multi-Choice.
