deols: We don't have to queue all of the time if we would just embrace a non expensive technology. When you get into a public place, there is a machine( dont know what it is called) that gives you a number on a paper. Assuming this is what we need, yes! What about an instance where someone comes and gets a number say 10, he leaves the premises only to come back and he's told that his turn is passed...wouldn't he insist on being treated? Am wholly of the support that development must be upped in this country and it should be even in all stratas...! |

jideroland: You do realise that while USA are only about 2 times more populous than us. they have 10 times our land size Truth, but have u you also checked that it isn't just about the land mass? If you like double Nigeria's land mass, the queuing problem will not go away. People will still migrate uncontrollably to where the grass is greener; thereby increasing the risk of queuing. What am saying is, let our government do what they should do to make life easy and lesson the bustling and hustling atmosphere we got here. Let development be even to reduce unnecessary migration. I mean, why would I want to travel to the next town to queue up for bank transaction when I got a bank here? Why would I want to go and study Law in UniLorin when my state University can offer same...? Think about it! |

dominique: You got a point, yes, agreed...but overpopulation may mean improvement in mortality and you don't just go there. Let me ask, are we more populated than America? Well, but they have structures in ground that help serve the people without them having to queue right? Take their banks for instance, they have enough branches to reduce the number of people that would have all gone to one branch, hence solving the problem. In their schools, things are done by schedules and time table. They have enough lecture halls to accommodate the number they have, and they have a targeted number of students to admit. Our government and we the people need to come to this level sooner! |

| Education / Queuing, The Cause And Remedy by Remzolution: 9:28am On Sep 07, 2013 |
The word 'queue' kept ringing a bell in my head as I stood in a single yet long line to complete my penultimate NYSC clearance. Though it was usual, but I couldn't fathom why it's always had to be like this, I mean, couldn't we adopt other methods apart from queuing? Throughout my entire life here in Nigeria, I couldn't remember a time I needed to obtain a form or return one, or register for something that I didn't join a queue. I remembered how I used to queue to fetch water from a public tap; buy fuel, transact in a bank either via ATM or the counter, pay NEPA bill, offer offering (except some churches have upgraded now) in the church. In fact, the only time I can't remember queuing up was when my mum was in labor at my birth, and it's only because I was still a fetus! The one that baffled me most was the routine in our schools system. After queuing to register for WAEC, I queued for the exams. Same to check the result at a Cafe. Same to obtain JAMB form ( at this time internet use wasn't prevalent) at a bank. Same for the exams, same to check the result. But that was just the beginning as I went through same to write University Aptitude Test. Very funny as I thought of it, because the queuing only got more serious in the University; especially when a semester began. With registration to be done everywhere, students would have to make it early to beat it to the front of the queue. Matters got even worse if the queue gets too long that names will be taken to continue the next day. Getting used to it wasn't so hard as a day hardly went by without having to queue at least once; either at the cafeteria, lecture, or at the school small-gate where we'd have to squeeze ourselves to get through! In a blink I was in my finals and the orthodox way of dealing with crowds was still in trend. I queued for my seminar and project defense, did same for my final year clearance, same for NYSC mobilization, same to check the posting list for my camp destination, same to get call-up letter and the rest was history. For those of us who have served the federation via NYSC, you would agree that the NYSC Orientation Camp is a place where nothing is done without queue; you enter the camp by queue and you leave by queue. At camp we learned a lot from the queuing system. Words like; 'overtaking is allowed', 'guy, I dey ur front', 'babe I dey ur back', 'sharp guy', etc, were common and it was fun. I wish I had enough patience and time to write about the queuing experience at camp, but unfortunately not. So am going to fast-forward to what motivated this thread... ...Having highlighted some of my experiences so far, I would want to ask; WHY IS IT THAT NIGERIA IS STILL BACKWARD IN SO MANY THINGS? Please don't get me wrong here, am asking a very constructive question. Am not saying that other countries don't queue to deal with a crowd problem. But I think they do so as the last resort. Crowd control and orderliness highlights how well a people are civilized, we can see that in advanced countries where people don't queue in schools or work places for almost anything. They understand that what is theirs will always be theirs, and that they can always get it without having to cause unnecessary traffic. The cause is not just the people, but the government controlling the system set the platform for ease of activities. This is not the case in Nigeria. You see, the provision of infrastructure; amenities, jobs, good schools, dependable health system, and good leadership might be possible in Nigeria, but until we as a people are ready to embrace civilization and decorum. In your critical opinions, how can we tackle this? |

Like I said water would have been a better option if properly applied, I mean duely with soap and a good hand wash with disinfectants afterwards. But unfortunately people using this method are oblivious to the health risks that they don't know the amount of germs they carry on their hands which can be transmitted to others by handshakes, food sharing, door handles and etc! So you see why toilet roll has a high demand? |
| Health / Toilet Roll Or Water? by Remzolution: 2:51pm On Jul 18, 2013 |
Although this topic has been discussed before, I still feel an unease as I was not satisfied by the arguments. Toilet paper is a soft tissue paper product primarily used for the cleaning of the anus to remove fecal material after defecation or to remove droplets of urine from the genitals after urination, and acts as a layer of protection for bands during this process. I've always believed that the best way to clean most objects is warm water and soap; self, dishes, clothes, pretty much everything. Except what is probably thought of as the "dirtiest" thing of all - our butts after we poop. For that, some people rub some water on it and call it a day. Others have different methods of cleansing after a bowel movement including a bidet, sponges, towels, the Japanese toilet (which is kind of a toilet with a hair dryer), things like the Comfort Wipe, and wet naps... or a combination thereof, as with dry paper and wet naps. For any infectious disease to propagate, it needs to move from one host to another. There needs to be a "transit route". Now, aside from some unsanitary sexual practices, it is not really the amount of germs left lying around your bottom after a "half-assed" cleaning session that's directly relevant for your infection risk. Rather, it's how much you get on your hands and fail to wash away. And some culture in Nigeria today still doesn't want anything to do with toilet paper, it's widely known that many in the west use water after defecation. Logically, I can't see how water provides the best option cause it doesn't seem to clean thoroughly given that fecal matter always contains undigested oils and fats which would resist removal via water. In this case paper is more efficient. Cleaning with water also leaves the person's hand with germs since soap was not applied...reminds me of my time at the NYSC Orientation Camp where Corps members opted for a satchet of pure water when responding to the call of nature. It used to sicken me to the point that I could not shook hands with people without thinking of it not to mention sharing a plate of food! My view of this method though subjective, is still behind modern toiletting. Except perhaps, there's a medicinal significance to it! |

So many of you don't bother to read the body of the post and a few that manage to don't read in-between the lines b4 commenting, may be that goes a long way to highlight ur heightened lopsidedness/paranoia @d merely sighting d word TRIBE. Whether or not Enyeama granted this interview or it's just someone's shot @ publicity d@'s threatening to run down his image, I may not know! But from my discretion, and going by what the Op said; the young man believes the criticisms are vocal, in other words they're outspoken owing to d fact that he isn't a majority. He wasn't talking about mere criticisms, ofcourse everyone gets criticized, he was talking about a clear case of me-against-them; where everyone sees ur flaws harshly but ur family ...and I believe CRITICISM wasn't the crux of the discussion, it might have been one of the minor questions that reporters ask to roundup their reports. Going by his pedigree u'll agree that he's the best the country has produced lately if not ever. His criticisms came widely @d prime of his career, yet amidst it all, he stood tall and held tight to them leather gloves. Always diving headlong to make u shout " oh my god if not for Enyeama", always the most patriotic in the team, always the live wire of the team and their confidence...@ ds point d@ the criticisms came in torrents he didn't squeal right? So if he chooses to talk about it now, shut ur mouths up cause this is a man that has been there, done it, and worn it as shield and armor. Infact, I urge u all to learn from him. Unequivocally, the heavy influx of unexamined comments from all ur tribal/sentimental standpoints is what he was talking about, and here you are proving him right to his chagrin. Igbo+hausa+yoruba = three heavily laden gravel trucks headed 4d cliff edge, just a matter of time...! |
