A man sat on it comfortably as he took the elevated toilet seat to his desired height and brought it down again.

The innovator however revealed that the toilet idea was a solution to the issue of water splashing on the but*tocks of a person using the restroom, but Nigerians had other ideas about the concept and shared their thoughts on it in the comment section.

Social media reacts to singer Drake's automated toilet

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that hilarious reactions had trailed the automated toilet of singer Drake that uses button to flush.

In the video, the camera panned towards a black-coloured water closet and it revealed that it is different from the regular ones commonly seen around.

The water closet is technologically built as it comes with a computerised dashboard and buttons that control it.

A press on any of the keys can either open or close the closet. Another key could also bring out water to flush waste products. A white hand was spotted pressing keys as if to show how the water closet works.
