The percentage of people with cell phone subscriptions is now higher than those using sanitation services. In 2000, only 12% of the global population had mobile phone subscriptions. In 2015, the rate is near 97% — a trend consistent across world regions.

These increases in cell phone users far exceed the number of people using at least basic sanitation services, which encompass improved sanitation facilities that are not shared with other households. In 2015, approximately 70% of the global population used at least basic sanitation services — a rate that only increased by 10 percentage points in the last 15 years

Access to sanitation services is critical to reducing diarrheal disease and can significantly lessen the adverse health impacts of other disorders responsible for death and disease among millions of children.

Wetin concern phones with toilet? Or is it because it's enjoyable to press phone while inside toilet?

"Sanitation services" and subscription services should not even be compared, whether toilet is shared or not,i don't see the need for any comparism here

Same here, wait o, you dey copy me ni?

Technology has no known alternative for now.
Cell phone is a product of technology.
Toilets have an alternative.
Its alternatives are waterside, bush and flying/flinging methods.
That's why it's more popular.
If you know, you know

Ok

So people make calls than shit?

How does a smartphone relate with toilet?







What a comparison!

How does a smartphone relate with toilet?

Duggedised12:
"Sanitation services" and subscription services should not even be compared,how many people pay to use the toilet?

LOL
Useless data.
It seems they want every human with a toilet. A family of 6 needs 6 toilets!

Indian is the reason why it's so

So, in other words, people spend their life time on phone than toilet. Does toilet make money

Stupid research, meaningless ....

What's with cell phone and toilets

Get your children educational android tablets. Please go through my thread and see the pictures and specifications. Check my signature for contact

See there idiots. Some researches are very useless. Presenting bogus data. To what end?
Are they saying they know how many times nwaamaipke shit yesterday alone?
Or are they saying there should be one or two toilets to one person like cell phones.

This is absolutely useless

This kinda crap is what happens when there’s too much research funding and someone has to justify his or her allocation to the research board or funding organization/unit..
Toilet usage is based on biological need, people don’t go to toilet out of boredom or entertainment, or to make money... infact they don’t wanna go there unless there’s need to.. why this comparison is made is what I’m trying to get....
While it is a good thing to go to the toilet cos it helps maintain health/intestinal balance... there’s even no relationship that phone usage prevents people from going to take a shiit.... I still don’t understand this research...

Do Ibadan people have any business with toilet when there are gutters and waterways?
