Nigerians can be funny, I swear. The other day I came across a container of what looked like dishwashing liquid. Like most Naija things, it had a wide range of applications.
The label proudly advertised that the liquid can be used for cleaning bathroom tiles, kitchen utensils, floors, cars, washing clothes and even for bathing! Imagine having your bath with dishwashing liquid. Anyhow, it's still a bubble bath. Talk of multipurpose soap. When will we stop offering all-in-one solutions?
It reminds me of those "Doctors" you see in buses when travelling. Those guys have drugs thast can cure every ailment on earth. From Typhoid to Syph, Fibroids and even aids, just name it, they have it. Usualy, they claim that all these things can be cured with just one wonder drug in a small brown bottle. And the whole bottle would probably cost about N300 only. Taking such stuff sounds like the surest way to get seriously sick.
