You see them outside, they look spick-and-span, their dressings immaculate and their walkings pristine. In their non-public appearances, they do the unthinkable. Because of their secret dumpings, they do not make their abode immaculate, they make it abhorrent. They turn their pristine palace into a reeking residence. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a riddle but the ridicule of Awoites who are fond of throwing faeces.
D-Block started the faecal throwing last semester when it was reported that one its occupants threw her heap of dung on an innocent passer-by. When all the occupants were called together to be punished, they allegedly threatened they would not stop until their toilets were repaired. The hall’s President appealed to them and we all thought the pleading had put an end to it. Nobody knew they were waiting for the new semester to be set in full throttles before showcasing their throw of shame again, and this time, they were not only throwing it, they were setting it in dust bins like a sacrifice meant to appease the god of wealth. The miscreants wrapped it like a gift, in beautiful containers, to be presented to one’s mother-in-law and the unsuspecting elderly cleaners dipping their unprotected hands into what they thought was ordinary dirt. One of the floors on F-Block has become a frontrunner in dropping faeces not only in dust bins but also their bathrooms and the rogues, of course, expect the cleaners to pack their shame.
The revelation of faecal throwing has continued intermittently with another one occurring in the early hours of Wednesday when all the occupants of D, E and F blocks were called down to see the ignoble act of one of their own. Another heap of faeces lying along the bush part beside the hall. Considering the location of this last act which is beside the D-Block, it is forgivable to say the its occupants are once again culpable and it is quite unfortunate that other blocks had to share the blame with them.
Faecal throwing contrasts sharply with the dictates of nature as ladies. Ladies are meant to be keepers of home and definitely not spoilers of their abodes. This kind of disgraceful act by future wives and mothers screams of the kinds of homes that will dot our society in the near future. Homes that are not only dirty but stink of the slovenly disposition of their natural keepers.
If faecal throwing is another way of showing discontentment with the authorities, it is a reprehensible and an unattainable way of protesting. It will never work. If it works, it will only work against our health. We cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time. We want to be healthy, yet we are engaging in unhealthy acts, it’s not possible.
For those engaging in this shameful act either in the bush or the dustbins or the bathroom, remember that the motherly cleaners you expect to clean your mess have their own God and you have your own mother. Remember the future so when curses of these cleaners start manifesting in your life, do not blame the innocent witches and wizards in your father’s house.
If Awoites want to protest against the neglect of an obvious need, there are proper channels to go about it and faecal throwing is certainly not one of them. Meet the hall supervisor, one of the Excos and in the meantime, use other floor’s or block’s toilets hygienically.
The concept of success in life is not about yourself alone, it is about you how manage your things and other people’s things as well.
Think about it!
