called a public bad. it's the same all over the world. unless you pay someone to clean it

You still don't get it. I rest my case.

NaijainTexas:
Hello all,
I'm new on this forum and have pretty much read every post in this thread, and suffice it to say, I agree with Jascon above. I am due to return to Naija from the States next month and this hurts me to see.

We Nigerians have to get to the point where we take better pride in our facilities and products. I shudder to think of how many people noticed the decay of this commode, but continued using it or failed to even report this. Sha, I am not even from Port, and I'm trying to make calls to my family out there to see what could be done about this, or who should be alerted. Ignored, this can cause illness and infections.

I was in Naija in June and even our streets are littered with refuse. Our airports are unkempt. This is what foreigners see and make their first impressions of who we are as a people and how we treat our land. As a result, they have no qualms about mistreating and disrespecting our facilities as well.

This hurts my heart.

Thank you for your honest observation. From your last paragraph, you have clearly admitted that our attitude towards public facilities/places needs to change. When people begin to utilize these facilities in the right way, when people learn to drop trash/waste in their designated places, only then can our society significantly overcome the filth that surround our cities, communities and immediate environment.

mikolo80:
typical. you didn't see what I wrote in bracket ba. I don wash toilet wella. as in pressed down shaken together and running over with shitt (boarding school tinz) and believe when I tell your age butter asss that no amount of soap detergent or grammar can keep shitt clean without adequate water supply.
adequate water supply costs money
money costs school fees or taxes
unu go gree govt to raise either

Undoubtedly, Water supply is essential. But I have seen cases where there is steady supply of water and the facility is still very messy all the time. If people can change their reckless attitude toward these facilities then the cleanliness of these places can be maintained to a certain degree.

GeneralShepherd:
I disagree with you, here in the UK I know how messed up the toilets usually are in the evenings but guess what they are always spotless the next day.
And mind you here there's is portable water 24/7

Humans are humans what Nigerian schools need is proper management

You are making reference to UK, and I am talking about Nigeria. There is a big disparity between those two. What I am telling you is through first hand experience.

Lightwand:
Bro there's been no renovation of hostel facilities in Uniport since... Ever! They award contracts on paper and the money gets squandered by the cult controlled SUG... Last year about #40milion was awarded for renovations, not even a single window was fixed!

Yes, I understand that the authorities have been found wanting with respect to maintenance of facilities. Nevertheless, it does not in any way justify the reckless, unhygienic and demeaning way in which these facilities are used by the public. I have seen so many newly built toilets looking far more unsightly.

Admittedly, renovation is required, but cleanliness and orderliness would go a long way.

mikolo80:
how much are the janitors paidand who is supervising them and what are their job description and are they provided with the right tools (water)

The thread is not meant to analyse the pay of janitors. Even the poorest institution can afford the basic tools for cleaning which are, detergent and/or harpic, brush, mop and broom.

Like I have opined in my preceding posts, the underlying causative factor is people's actions and/or inaction and therein lies the solution.

mikolo80:
are you ready to pay for maintenance of public facilities. no be strike and protest unu de like pass

Those places have janitors my friend, but that doesn't dissuade the Nigerian public from practicing their habit of misuse and abuse. It is an inherent trait in the majority of citizens.

Only a change of attitude would allow significant improvement in the foregoing situation.

GeneralShepherd:
If the schools cleaned the toilets everyday, wouldn't it be clean?

Most, if not all of the schools and other public toilets have janitors who clean up these places every single day. But this, unfortunately, does not make a big difference, when the first person to utilize the facility after the clean up messes it up, and the person after that....the cycle continues.

When every single user or most user of the facility continues to abuse it during each use, then the very purpose of the cleaning would have been defeated. Do you honestly believe that those public toilets you see or visit have no cleaners? Yet, have you ever seen any of them in pristine condition? The main problem is the users. Nigerians have abysmal attitude towards public facilities, as they wantonly abuse and misuse.

If all were hygienically inclined and predisposed to orderliness, there is clearly no reservation that the facility can last for days without cleaning and remain pleasant to the sight.

Nigerians have a habit of misusing any public facility. You can hardly find a clean and well tended public toilet, whether in schools or on the streets of our cities.

Until there is a major attitudinal change in citizens towards public facilities and a significant improvement on their hygiene, I'm afraid the status quo will remain in virtually all public toilets and/or facilities.

Very true! Most men do a lot of insanely ridiculous things in a bid to impress a woman. All these efforts, with the only resultant benefit being sex. Absurd!!!

Gurgle:
Ok. thanks for your correction

You are most welcome!

Gurgle:
It does??

Im only familiar with Igbo hausa and Yoruba ones, not the smaller tribes

Oh yes it does. The smaller tribes especially from the Niger Delta have distinctive names.

Gurgle:
then what is it

Im fine, and how are you

The name Ekaette belongs to Akwa Ibom/Cross River states. You are seemingly not very familiar with ethnic names and attributes in Nija

Gurgle:
yeah why do they look like that? I met one Ekaette a few years ago with a very hostile face, it was a strange experience sha

My dear, Ekaette is not Bini or Esan...how are you?

Hello Jascon,

Apologies for my belated response. Kindly bring the system down to our office @ 6 Oremeta street, Off Ola Adeshega street, Oregun Ikeja. Our engineers need to check out the system so as to ascertain whether its actually a board problem or not.

Thanks for your patience.

Ok, can I have a mobile pls

If ever he felt randy, he should have sought for a matured and more sexually willing lady. A man of his status should be able to get a lady out there who is predisposed and ready to satisfy his illicit sexual desire, not some teenager entrusted to him by a family friend.

His lack of self control and discipline has landed him in this inextricable quagmire. He would wish he had no penis.

Empressbecky:
which one do you use

I use DSTV, but currently @ my friend's and enjoying his CMTV with the premier League showing. I never heard of CMTV until when I visited him in PH.

onegig:
Send a pm.

I just replied.

onegig:
Yes.

Ok, how do we get in contact? Where is your office/organization?

onegig:
Yeah sure.

New. Straight from the US.

Ok, can you fix my laptop then?

onegig:
15k. Delivery in 2 weeks after commitment.

Ok, is it brand new or second hand? can you fix my laptop, it's been diagnosed to need a replacement of motherboard.

Empressbecky:
thanks. someone suggested metrodigital or ctv. what do you think of either, Jason

Splendid! But the fact is, I have neither heard of nor used either of the aforementioned. I will suggest you carry out a conscientious analysis on the suggested pay TVs, so you don't get to regret if you bought impulsively.

Empressbecky:
Box office movies, english premiership. i cant afford dstv premium

In lieu of that, then DSTV is the antidote to your TV channel preference, the downside, however, is the exorbitant charges. Then you may have to make a compromise by considering other alternatives.

There is this CMTV my friend is using in PH, their premium bouquet is approximately 4k, with it, you can get to watch premier League matches...but its demerit is its vulnerability to weather conditions. It's got a few movie channels but MBC2 is its foremost.

It depends on your budget, your taste and your favourite TV channels

onegig:
Following the data loss experienced by this site last month I have decided to reopen this thread to accept request from our esteemed forumites.

Please note that the rules still stay the same.

Sequel to requests by many peeps here for expert technicians / system engineers who can help fix their
systems. I have created this thread with the aim of helping out and bridging the gap between service providers(me and sometimes others tested engineers) and clients(you) for
professional and trustworthy services.

However, there are some little
rules that guide service provision which are to be
adhered strictly to, to have an
itch free ride.

The rules goes thus;
1. This is open to Lagos residents only. However exceptions are there for those who are out of Lagos and may be willing to send in their systems for repairs.


2. The aim of this isn't to charge excessive fees but giving you excellent and
honest services at the cheapest or near free
rates.

3. Other info as regards this would be added as the thread progresses.


You can post the challenges you are having with your systems and would get
the help needed. Thank you.

Please do you have the motherboard for HP DV6 1310ei

hectorswag:
Also comes with one year warranty on every repair and upgrade!

I was asking if you have the mother board for HP DV6 131ei, yet no response from you.

Felitsa187:

I reckon you have a different motive. Vulgarity was utterly unnecessary.
