Umbiko wocwaningo uthole ukuthi ama-82% abantu abaphendulile ezifundazweni ezintathu basebenzisa amanethi okulala aphathwe ngezibulala-zinambuzane unyaka wonke, kuyilapho ama-17% ewasebenzisa kuphela ngesikhathi somiyane.
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ama-62.1% abaphendulile bathi isizathu esiyinhloko sokungasebenzisi amanethi omiyane aphathwe ngezibulala-zinambuzane ukuthi ashisa kakhulu, ama-21.2% athi amanethi abangela ukucasuka kwesikhumba, kanti ama-11% abike ukuthi avame ukunuka iphunga lamakhemikhali avela enethini.

“Ngakho-ke umqondo lapha ukuthi uyisebenzise kabusha, uyiphinde uyisebenzise, noma uyilahle,” kusho yena.
Uthe ezingxenyeni eziningi zaseNigeria, abantu manje sebesebenzisa amanethi omiyane aphelelwe yisikhathi njengamakhethini okuvala ubumnyama futhi ngezinye izikhathi bawasebenzisa ngisho nokugcina ukudla.
“Abanye abantu bayisebenzisa ngisho nanjenge-Sivers, futhi ngenxa yokwakheka kwayo ngamakhemikhali, ithinta nemizimba yethu,” kusho yena nabanye abalingani.
