*THE BIGGER TOILET RATS*

Not all humans have rats' mentality; some actually do. Humans defecate, rats do too. Humans flush thereafter but rats don't. The way you use the toilet (on campus, in church, in mosques and other public places) reflects your mentality.

A former roommate of mine in Angola Hall (Viktorious) back then wrote on our toilet door:

_"Washing this toilet is the only job someone's mum could get. If you can't help, don't make it more difficult for her"_
(Paraphrased the way I remember)

Some persons who use our toilets wrongly do so out of ignorance. It is simply normal to them. It is to them a culture, whether from home or adopted.

Some call that normal 'students life'. I beg to disagree with that. I call that a life exclusively reserved for matriculated big rats. Student are intellectuals - students think rationally and act in scholarly manner.

Some simply can't help misusing the toilets since water crisis every now and then doesn't help matters too. I hereby appeal to the management to ensure consistent supply of water.

I conclude on the note of an aphorism, *_Always leave the toilet the way you'd love to meet it'_*

_N.B: No human is a rat. The term *rat* as used in this piece is only used in symbolism._

Thanks
