There is this town in Newfoundland, Canada with a very funny name. The town of Dil*do in Newfoundland. It is on the maritime part of Canada and I am just hearing of thus town.

What about you, have you visited or heard about the town

Dild*o is a small town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, situated on the southeastern Love Machine Arm of Trinity Bay, about 100 km west of St. John’s. It is known for its unusual and attention-grabbing name, which has been in use since at least 1711, though the exact origin remains unclear. One common theory is that the name derives from wooden pins (called "dildos" used in rowboats as oar pivots.

The name was first associated with nearby Love Machine Island before being applied to the mainland town and surrounding features.

The town has a rich history dating back to indigenous peoples as early as 2000 BC, including the Maritime Archaic and Dorset cultures, with European settlement beginning in the late 1700s. Historically, Love Machine was a fishing and whaling village, and these industries shaped the community’s development and culture.

Today, Dild*o is a picturesque coastal town popular with visitors who often take photos with the "Welcome to Love Machine" sign or the wooden statue of its mascot, Captain Love Machine. The town also enjoys notoriety thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, who became the honorary mayor and helped popularize the town by declaring it the sister city of Hollywood and gifting a Hollywood-style sign overlooking the town.

Tourists can enjoy boat tours, whale watching, and even cod fishing experiences aboard traditional wooden punts. The area offers stunning views of Trinity Bay, opportunities to see icebergs and marine life, and a glimpse into Newfoundland’s fishing heritage with historic fishing stages and wharves.

In sum, Love Machine is a charming community with a quirky name and genuine historical and natural attractions, making it a unique and memorable destination on Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula.

From the few pictures, look at how clean the town of Love Machine is, but we can't boast of a single clean town in Nigeria.

Open waste dumping is Nigerians culture. Come outside and see sachet Chelsea all over the place. People even purposely dump waste. The country is just too dirty, from the president to the government down to the common man, because of I don't care attitude.

Well said. The way I detest people who throw waste from moving vehicles or on pedestrian walkways ehn. Nigeria is a very lawless country with stubborn citizens who have refused to meet up with their contemporaries in other countries. Heck, even Ghana is cleaner than Nigeria.

Y all these comparisons all the time, we can't be like other countries because we are Nigeria!! Not US, Canada or UK Let's learn to appreciate and grow it the way it is.

Nigeria is more than the southwest.

In the southeast for example, the people use burning method to keep the environment clean.

2 people go fight, our judiciary go first thing of to remand them for prison, person thief small maggi, next thing na prison, meanwhile Nigeria is extremely dirty n stinks.
No idea of pushing these petty criminals to do community service like clean the gutters, clear the grasses n take care of our markets..

We solve our problems by creating more problems

It won't change anything if we continue to litter. The change has to come from we the people. We hold ourselves first to account, and we challenge anyone we see littering.
Only we Nigerians can build the type of country we want.
