Reactions have emerged following the death of a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Personnel Lance Corporal Ogah Bercy, attached to the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), who died of complications from snakebite in her toilet at the NAF Base Bill Clinton Drive Abuja.

Questions on how snakes and other reptiles manage to enter our bathrooms and toilets have been raised and asked by many across social media.

More plumbers have seen snakes under houses or in a roof cavity than in the toilet but however, snakes can get into a toilet through an opening in the sewer.

Sewers can be a hiding ground for mice and rats. Snakes can enter the sewer to get their next meal. They can make their way through a sewer and slither their way through.

When talking about snakes getting into the toilet sink, some people think or assume that there’s already water inside the toilet sink, but according to plumbers, the toilet seat is designed in such a way that the water stays only in the sink and the pipe that leads to the septic tank or soakaway is always empty and free of water.

Most reptiles would find it difficult to jump or enter into the water closets, they always find it easier to enter from the concrete chambers at the back of the house through which sewage pipes get connected and through cracks, under the doors and crevices.

Here are some preventive measures to take which will help in avoiding snake(s) curling up in your toilet bowl;

The best way to prevent a snake from making its way into your toilet is to make your home less attractive to the snake in the first place.

1. Keep windows and sliding doors in the bathroom closed or ensure the screens are fully intact so a snake can’t slide its way in.

2. Prevent a mouse or rat infestation in your home with the correct rodent protection. Snakes will follow the food trail, so if you have mice or rats near or in your house, get rid of them faster.

3. Always make sure that all the bushes around your house are properly cleared and well burnt so as to prevent any rodents or reptiles from harboring around the house.

4. Another thing you should take note of is to always ensure you fumigate your toilet sink regularly. There are special pesticides that are made specifically for this purpose.

5. Keep your toilet lid closed at all times and you can also make use of a flat tile to cover your bathroom filter when you’re not in the bathroom so as to stop any further movement of the reptile through the pipes and also ensure that all pipes are well fixed and closed.

6. Lastly, always make sure you check inside your toilet sink before you sit on it, avoid using the toilet in the dark, and public toilets are dangerous to use anyhow. If you must use them, don’t sit directly on them, lift up your buttock slightly above the bowl and be watchful.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says no sentiments and no FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says no sentiments and no emotions will be considered in his efforts to do the right thing in the Nigerian capital.

Mr Wike made this known on Saturday in Abuja, while reacting to a trending video on social media showing the staff of Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO), crying over the sack of the company’s managing director.

The MD and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Najeeb Abdussalam, was among the 21 heads of parastatals, agencies, and companies of the FCT Administration that were sacked by the minister on Wednesday.

Mr Wike told journalists shortly after inspecting some of the ongoing road projects across the city, that he would do the right thing for the interest of the people.

“That is why when I watch people on video, crying that somebody has been removed and that he has been doing well, but the question is if you have been doing well, where are the buses?

In the land where the sun's golden rays do shine, In the land where the sun's golden rays do shine,
A nation emerged, in unity divine.
Nigeria, a name that echoes through time,
With a history rich, a story quite sublime.

On October 1st, a day of great pride,
In '60, our freedom, none could hide.
From colonial chains, we broke away,
To forge our own path, in a bright new day.

With diverse cultures, traditions so vast,
Nigeria's beauty is unsurpassed.
From the north to the south, east to the west,
In unity, we stand, in this great quest.

Green, white, green, our flag unfurled,
Symbolizing hope for a better world.
Resilient and strong, through trials we stride,
Nigeria, our homeland, our joy, and our pride.

Let us celebrate this nation so grand,
Hand in hand, across the land.
For in unity and love, we find our might,
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria's light!
