In Lagos alone. As advanced as it is people still defecate in the open. Obalende under bridge, CMS, Lagos island shorelines, Ebutte Meta, Amuwo Odofin, even some areas of Lekki, Ajah, people still practice open defecations in those areas.

These are the urban areas of Lagos.
ok...so how does that amount to 61% of the nigerians that dont have access to toilets?

In the last 10 years, Nigerians have been having back to back failures.

With the way our rulers rule over us, I won't lie, if I was an American, I'd be extremely racist towards Nigerians too.

Cos tell me why a country has oil but has no refinery.
Has dams, but has no electricity.
Has money, but has no standard of living.
Has natural resources but has no public infrastructure.
Has educated people, but has no educated leaders.

A country that has no tsunamis, no earthquakes, no hurricanes. But can't control simple flooding.

A country that has no natural disaster but has human disaster.

I'd be racist too, my people.
I know you're trying to pin Nigeria failure on APC government but it's APC government that gave us the refinery you spoke about but it's PDP government that embezzled 16 billion dollars meant for electricity development.

This is honestly not true. 100% of rural dwellers have access to toilets. I don't know any nigerian city where up to 20% of the inhabitants don't have access to toilets

This is weird. So some people don't have toilets in some countries. How do they do it? How is this statistics gathered?

That Indian stats is disputable.

Sheuns:
India with a population of over 2bn has over 74%.

Nigeria with a purported population of over 200M has just 39% access.

When we say letโ€™s all lambaste our leaders both pst and present, some people will be doing dโ€ck measuring contest that SW is more developed than SE, SE is more developed than NW, NW is more developed than SS.

Costal road they're building in Lagos is along the sea/coast/beach.
Go there and find plenty of Shit in the sand left behind by numerous homeless aboki people hanging around there.
And also

Directly into the water.

These are the stats that good governance will react to, take up as a challenge and establish a whole industrial enterprise to tackle.

What does it take that we don't have.
Kogi alone has enough raw materials to make millions of wc suites a year.for private facitoes.

Akwa Ibom has/had a smelting company that could be extended to fabricate thousands of aluminum suites for public facilities.

We have rubber, plastics, abundant raw materials for various accessories and most of all Nigeria is not a desert. We have more than enough water resources to service and maintain sanitary facilities.

Just the vision, resolve an tact that is patently lacking. And of course poor quality citizenship that tolerates it.

Even a whole city, our supposed pride has no public rest rooms in the maaterplan.

You have streets, traffic lights, gardens, etc but not a single quality rest room facility one can claim is pre designed into the infrastructure of the city. None.

https://x.com/stats_feed/status/1946002981410759082?t=sU58UTenm1q155CchqMFOw&s=19[/quote]This 39% is most likely from South East. The people from West see toilet facilities as waste of money. The same goes to North. Few days ago some of our street guys were quarreling with some northern dwellers for defecating and throwing the excretre into the street. Mind you they have a good toilet facility. I could hear one guy threatening to call health officers to rescue the situation.

Defecate doesn't make the matter any better
In 2025, Nigerian humans are still defecating openly on the roads?
This image is a 1962 cartoon called The Jetsons
1962 ... 63 years ago... Where they envisioned fantastic technological advancements, flying cars, flying house, robots...etc.
And here we are very well into the Future ahead of them, shitting openly in public?
We still cannot contain human waste within functional plumbing systems.
What a horrible disgrace.

Which states in Nigeria are dragging us behind? What states in Nigeria have the highest number. When we know these, then we can task the Governors and Local Government Chairmen to do more.

Not totally true.There is nowhere in the world that it is 100% especially large population nations.
USA has a lot of homeless people and druggies who do not need toilets or toilet infrastructures to do their do.

IbnB:
Y'all need to stop comparing Nigeria with South Africa...SA is a functional society with 100% working systems, it would've been officially a first world country if not for the blacks. Nigeria on the other hand is a dystopia, a hellworld administered by a clique of degenerates kleptocrats for the benefit of themselves and their families alone. There is no basis for comparisons
. Oh here we go again with the self-hate and whit.e wo,rship so typical among you Nigerians.. You say South Africa has working systems, and yet those systems are presided over by black South Africans, so why haven't those systems stopped working? It's jealousy speaking my friend..When it comes to South Africa, you people can't give praise when it's due, " it's always yes, South Africa did well, but black South Africans are. blah blah" Dude, black South Africans hosted a successful World Cup, can your country do the same? We see through the BS
