Public Urination: Tips to making Nigeria a safer place

Urination is the release of urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. And public urination is the act of urinating in a place that is different from the restroom.

The designated place to urinate is the restroom; buy some people find it easy to urinate in other places such as the street, park, roadside, and other public places. This unhygienic act is a threat to the general health of our nation.

While some people do it on purpose, many people urinate in public because they don’t have another option, for example, when there is no restroom available for use at that pressing moment.

Public urination can result in food contamination, water pollution, soil pollution, spread of bacteria and several sicknesses.

Anybody could be pressed in public, but public urination remains a menace to the society. Rather than urinating in public, make the country a safer place by adopting the following tips.

Self Discipline

This is the act of controlling oneself and refraining from urinating in the public. Perhaps, learn to not wait until you’re so pressed before finding a release spot.

Use the Restroom Before Going Out

This is a major way to avoid urinating in public. As a man or woman, ensure you use the toilet to pass out urine from your body system before going out for the daily activities.

Use Banks, Eateries, or Secluded Areas as Substitutes

When next you feel pressed, walk into a bank or an eatery and head straight to the gents or ladies to urinate, rather than unzipping your trousers or stooping in public.

Similarly, you can look for for a very secluded area with a functional drainage where people scarcely dominate and ease yourself there.

Public urination is highly unhygienic, and you and I are the immediate solution. Let’s make the nation a safer place.
