We all tend to do things that seem convenient to us, but to others it is a bad habit. These habits have been practiced over the years and believe me if you do any of them it takes discipline and determination to stop.
You may not do any of the bad habits but you may know someone who does it, please try as much as possible to advise them so they can stop.
In no particular order, the 10 bad habits Nigerians have in common are;
1. Not Washing The Hands After Using Toilet Facilities
When last did you use soup and clean water to wash your hands after using toilet facilities? Please know that when you do not wash your hands, you are only inviting stubborn and antibiotic-resistant bacteria to yourself which may cause illness.
2. Farting In Public When Others Are There
It is not bad to fart in public, it only becomes bad when you do it in the presence of others because you will definitely irritate and inconvenience them with the odour oozing out from your anus.
3. Blowing Gum
Women are guilty of this, but it becomes so bad when a guy blows gum this way. It is unethical and unhygienic and the gum you blow may attract tiny-microscopic organisms which may cause illness.
4. Eating Voraciously In Public Transport
I have seen quite a number of people that bring food out from their bag and start eating. Some eat snacks, but the most shocking one is those who eat swallow inside a bus, I guess you might have seen one before? Some even open leaf rice and start eating inside public transport, making people to start salivating.
5. Scratching Your Butt In Public
No matter thr intensity of the "Sweety" please do not take your hand to your butt and start scratching. Some will not even remember to wash their hands and the next thing you see is the hand inside the mouth.
Even if you must scratch your butt, there is a way to do that, check the image below.
6. Operating Your Phone While The Power Is Low
If you are guilty of this, just know that you are gradually killing your phone. My friend turn off your data and charge that phone.
7. Eating Of Fingernails
Most people are guilty of this, including me sometimes, I won't tell a lie. But the truth still remains that it is really bad to do that because there is no sugar in your nails. Some have even eaten the nails out from the root.
8. Discussing With Someone Else While On A Call
This habit is bad and most people are guilty of it. It causes an interruption in communication, it is better you end the call and discuss with the person or you tell the person you are discussing with to excuse you that you are on a call.
9. Using A Matchstick To Remove Ear Wax
I know most people enjoy using a matchstick to remove ear wax but this is wrong and you need to stop it.
10. Chewing Your Food Noisily
You seriously need to see some people when they are eating. You can literally hear the sound as they carry out mechanical digestion. Please stop this, nobody is rushing the food with you.
Which one are you guilty of?
