Caracta:


I believe this report 100%. Yes they have toilets (major towns only) but they don't use them. Almost every bush path has faeces decorating them like flowers. The principal of a school at Ikole-Ekiti told me that no true son of Ekiti prefers a modern toilet to defecating in the bush because of the freedom and cool breeze.

Maybe not all...but an average Ekiti man equates open defecation to orgásm

segalex:
How did they carry out their study? I've spent over 20 years of my entire life time in ekiti and I'm proud to say this study does not in anyway represents the true picture here in the state.
I cannot remember the last time I saw a house without toilet, yea most of the toilets are pit latrines especially in the small towns but that they don't toilets at all? nothing can be father from truth than this

Investigation shows 80% of primary schools in
Enugu North have no toilet facilities
By Emmanuel Uzodinma
DailyPost investigation has revealed that over
eighty percent of public primary schools in Enugu
North Senatorial zone lacks toilet facilities.
The teachers and the pupils in the affected schools
said they had become used to defecating in the
bush,in what they refer to as “bush method”.
The schools affected are those in Udenu, Igbo-Eze
North, Igbo-Eze South, Igbo-Etiti, Nsukka and Uzo-
Uwani local government areas.
It was observed that apart from few schools in
these local government capitals, most of the rural
schools have no toilet.
Mr. Pius Ezema, who said he has been a primary
school teacher for the past 25 years lamented that
government was not showing much interest in
public primary schools.
The primary school head said the non-provision of
toilet facilities was just one of the myriads of
challenges facing the schools.
“The issue of non-provision of toilet facilities has
become part of the public school system in this
part of the country. It is not even being regarded
as a priority at all. So, over the years, we have
become accustomed to using the bush, where it is
available.
“However, I am not saying that it is something that
should continue because most times these pupils
could be attacked by snakes or other dangerous
things inside there in the bush. You should not
forget that some of them don’t even have sandals,
so they go into these bushes on bare foot.
“On the part of the teachers, it is equally a
shameful thing that somebody like me rushes into
the bush to answer ‘the call of nature’, but it is
something one cannot avoid”, he lamented.
For another head teacher in Uzo-Uwani Local
Government Area of the state, “the important thing
government should do is to start providing us with
subvention for running our schools.
“What I receive as termly subvention from the
government is N600 (six hundred naira). It may
sound as a joke but that is the truth . Some
schools receive N900, that is the highest. So,
primary school heads in Enugu state run schools
with their salary.
“I recall that last year, the government told us that
we shall be receiving N25,000 as subvention, but
one year after, no school in Enugu State has
received that money. Yet, they barred us from
collecting any form of levy from pupils.
“You can see why I told you that even though we
are not happy over the non provision of toilet
facilities, it is just one of the many problems we
have. We can’t continue to buy chalks, registers,
and maintain schools with our meagre salary”.
Although efforts were made to reach the
supervisory councillors for education and the
information officers in the affected areas, they were
evasive.
However, the supervisory councillor for education
in Nsukka Council Area, Mr. Byron Ezugwu said
teachers should equally be blamed for the lack of
toilet facilities in primary schools.
“What you should know is that even in some
places where these facilities are available, the
teachers convert them to stores. In some other
places, the facilities are abandoned after they have
been messed up”, he said.
Asked why the government has not taken radical
measures to change the situation, he said: “neither
the local education authority nor a head teacher
has written to my office about the situation. They
are always talking about desks, tables and things
like that. The government on its own part has been
responding to those requests” .
“Also, in places we renovated in primary schools,
we also ensured that toilet facilities were provided”,
Ezugwu added.

Why won't they lead in "Open Defecation" ? Since the only project their Fayose like to commission is "Stomach Infrastructure". He likes to commission "Stomach Infrastructure" but fails to provide basic amenities to the state.
Ekiti people keep enjoying your iresi, isu, iyan, amala, eba, ewa, ponmo, ati bebe lo

guy come on, this your news is damn old.
We are talking of 2016 and not 2013.

Ogbuefi2020:

School toilet is entirely a different thing. People rarely defecate within school hours. Home toilets will give a more accurate picture such as the above study

Watch as they deny Ekiti lik Peter did to Jesus.

Ekiti State is believed to have the highest of persons who openly defecate in Nigeria About 1.8 million residents of the state out of a total population of 2.7 million is believed to engage in the menace.

In her presentation, a Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS) facilitator and a staff of Rural Water Sanitation Agency in the state, Mrs. Lanre Ayeni, said 748 million of the global population, lack access to hygienic water supply.

She added it was so regrettable that 1.8 billion people still use contaminated sources of water, which she said has caused a lot of damage to their health and body systems.

“When you take a water that has contaminated by cheat (faeces), the person will have ten million viruses, one million bacteria and one hundred thousand parasite eggs in her body system.


“Advocacy for open defecation free in Ekiti and good water sanitation is yielding results. Enforcement in the past by CLTS coordinators had failed, what we now use is persuasion and people are gradually changing their perception about this concept.”

Mohsena, who disclosed that several achievements have been recorded through UNICEF/EU WASH programme in Ekiti, using Gbonyin and Ekiti West as pilot councils in advocacy for open defecation Free and WASH, said the two international organisations have been funding the programme and rendering technical supports.

“In Ekiti, an estimated number of 180,000 people are gaining access to good source of water through provision of hand pump boreholes. In the same way, 29,582 people in Ekiti have gained access to safe water through rehabilitation of 65 hand pumps in Gbonyin. 965 pupils from four schools now have access to child and gender friendly water supply.

“We have also bring improvement to 250 towns and communities in ODF by providing ten toilets per public. We have also provided technical supports in 313 communities, for them to know various ways to build and take ownership of low cost latrines and how to repair them in case of damage.

“Stakeholders would continue to step up sensitisation and advocacy in rural areas on the need to key into the total eradication of open defecation, to forestall breakout of diseases.”

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and European Union (EU) have lamented that over 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation globally, out of which one billion were engaging in open defecation.

They said these at the weekend during a two-day media networking and alliance building workshop on organised by European Union/UNICEF on Water Sanitation and Hygiene and Open Defecation Free campaign held at Ijero Ekiti, Ijero Local Government area of Ekiti State.

The UNICEF/EU delegation, led by Mohsena Islam, a WASH specialist from UNICEF, went on a field trip with Ekiti Media WASH group to Asasa and Temidire Olojofi farm settlements in Aramoko Ekiti, to assess compliance with the campaign against open defecation. CLTS Coordinator in Gbonyin, Mr. Kayode Eleso, said many residents have been arrested and prosecuted for engaged in open defecation, particularly in Ado Ekiti metropolis, while efforts, he said, were also on to compel every household to have their toilets.

He regretted that low manpower in the sector was responsible for the noticeable inefficiency of his officers , saying records show that no staff has been recruited since Ekiti was created on October 1, 1996.”
