iamord: We were made to believe that Lt.Gn Acheampong was the worst Ghanaian leader and needed to be tied on the stake and shot. You are right.In his time B.A Mensah established a tobacco factory ,while Siaw established a brewery which were later confiscated by Rawlings and sold to foreign investors on flimsy excuse of tax evasion. 1 Like |

Just30: Let come out from the ghost mode. It will be very wrong to opine that GH went down in the 90s.On the the contrary it was in the 90s that the country started to show progress after years of decay.The Acheampong era in the 70s witnessed a massive decay in the country and prolonged into the 80s. The early part of the Rawlings era saw Ghana experiencing a major drought and scarcity of essential commodities 2 Likes |

According to the agency, while 38.3 per cent of the households have covered pit latrines, 15.7 per cent households have pit latrines that are not covered. To show that the culture of pail toilet is dying in the country, only 0.1 per cent of households used the facility in 2008, down from the 0.2 per cent that deployed the toilet facility in 2007.

THE Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) of United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), Kannan Nadar, in a briefing in Abuja, on Monday, said “in Nigeria, over 100 million people do not have access to improved toilet facilities, out of which 45 million defecate in the open.” At a press briefing to commemorate the World Toilet Day, the UNICEF official said lack of toilet facilities and indiscriminate disposal of faeces in the environment posed a great danger to the health of individuals. Similarly, Ms Tolani Busari, the Head of Governance, WaterAid Nigeria, said poor sanitation and dirty water damaged the economy of developing countries. She added that nearly 100,000 children under the age of five died of diarrhoea in Nigeria every year, as a result of the poor level of access to sanitation. Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has called on Nigerians to desist from open defecation, which exposes to diseases. Professor Chukwu, who was represented at the briefing by the permanent secretary in the ministry, Ambassador Sani Bala, said that cholera could be stopped if Nigerians would desist from open defecation. “This yearly occurrence of cholera epidemic could be stopped if there is mechanism to stop open defecation, which will prevent contamination of water sources and foods that are major causes of cholera in the country,” he said. He also added that reports from the 14 states affected by cholera and gastroenteritis outbreak indicated that indiscriminate open defecation and lack of toilet facilities were major causes of the outbreak in the states. The minister, therefore, said the commemoration of World Toilet Day this year was one of the attempts at raising awareness on the need to stop open defecation for healthy living. He further stated that Nigeria was collaborating with some international development partners to introduce community-led total sanitation, primarily aimed at mobilising communities to take actions towards stopping open defecation practice. 1 Like |

100 million nigerians dont have acess to toilet The United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that more than 100 million Nigeria's don't have access to toilets as the nation joins the rest of the world to mark the World Toilet Day. It said the poor sanitary condition is responsible for the spread of diseases in Nigeria. These figures are coming as the Federal Government said 2,771 cases of cholera epidemics was reported this year with 124 deaths. Speaking at the celebration of World Toilets Day, UNICEF Chief Sanitary, Water and Hygiene Officer, Kannan Nadar described the situation in Nigeria as very critical. He said, "Nigeria has about one hundred million people without access to toilets, this is worrisome, as it is possible for everyone to own toilet, it doesn't cost much. "Sanitation and toilets are fundamental human rights. since it is possible for everyone to own toilet, it is not justified for people to die of diseases related to open defecation." In his remark, Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said the recent occurrence of cholera epidemics could be stopped if there was a mechanism to stop open defecation. He said, "as many as an estimated 2771 cases and 124 deaths with case fatality rate of 4.5 per cent were reported, this yearly occurrence of cholera epidemics could be stopped if there is a mechanism to stop open defecation which will prevent contamination of water sources and foods that are major causes of cholera in the country." Head of Governance, WaterAid Nigeria, Tolani Busari expressed concern that barely two years to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Nigeria was yet to address the problem of poor sanitation. She said: "staggering 37 million people still practice open defecation, nearly 100,000 children under the age of five dying of diarrhea in Nigeria every year as a result of poor sanitation and water." She added: "Sanitation has always been the most neglected and off-track of the MDGs, with little funding, resources or political will to address the crisis. There has been little or no progress towards the agreed target of allocating 0.5 per cent of GDP to sanitation." 2 Likes |

safarigirl: My dear, certain countries should not be lived in. If you must go to a West African country, try small, undiscovered gems like Cape Verde, it's a tourist destination, so if you can start up the right business, you won't have to depend on the locals to sell, don't go to dirty Ghana/Togo/Benin, those places hold zero attractions. If I ever comot from Naija, na just for vacation and if I must visit any African country, Morocco is the place. Sorry for your loss, carry your polythene bag and start trekking home, you could get help from friends here to start up something. Dirty Safarigirl 5 Likes |

PetroDolla: Well, it has to be this way isn't it? It's kinda of funny but I seriously think I have done no wrong. I am very happy with what I do here and have absoiluetly no regrets. You know why? I find it completely absurd that some people or indeed an individual will, without provocation, luanch needless insults on a country and its people. and yet when someone like me reacts, I am seen as the trouble maker. I find that particularly absurd. People are getting with nonsense in the African setting because we are often too quick to intervene. when people misbehave, they should get punished. in my lipion, that is the only way to ensure discipline and fairness. when people know they will get punished when they misbehave, they will watch what they do, trust me. |
