How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

made while campaigning to be president.
We all know about how Tony Chinedu was excited about
Buhari when he came to power and how the Nigerians are
feeling now.
Do we ask too much of our opposition politicians that they
must lie about what they will deliver for us to put them
into power? Or once they taste the sweetness of power,
they forget about the problems of the people they always
eloquently speak about during campaigns?
