Btruth: I did. Almost, everyone at the village have this at home. But what amazed me was the live cat fish my maternal grand mum put in the port, she said it helps in cleaning the port from been dirty (the fish helps eat all the small dirty particles)..and also, that the return water from the fish mouth is medicinal. Well, I don't know how truth that was?

CityNG:

So now that I cornered you by showing who dense you are you are waiving the white flag?

Are you going to acknowledge that you went off half cocked?

I bet you were shocked to see that I actually one VillageHeadMaster.Com.

Your lesson of the day, look before you leap or make idiotic assumptions.

Too much aggro

Youngsage:
Pple who have drank from that definitely do not belong to the 'indomie generation'! lol

Billyonaire: I am still drinking from that pot. Sometimes, we see tadpoles, yet we sway the bottom of the cup on the surface of the water to scare the tadpoles before fetching a chilly cup, and with each cup, we remember the past, thank Gods for the Present and worry about the future.

Our forefathers paved the way for us, and they lived longer, drinking from the Earthen pot.

Shhhhhhhhh

Lagusta: Its only once i drank from that pot..... While i was doing my COBES in UNILORIN...

The water was always sweet, cold and refreshing!!!

Tadpoles cant get in the water unless frogs had previously been in it.

Generally, frogs lay their eggs in ponds, not so sure about rivers although never say never.

Where was your water sourced from, for it to have tadpoles?


Can't remember if I've ever seen tadpoles in that manner, its possible I suppose.

grandpas drank from the tap.

greatgod2012: My primary school was in the village, so i used it weli-weli......even till now my mum still has hers and each time i pay her visit, i prefer drinking from that water-pot than from her fridge, funny thing is that she makes jest of me thus......."eyin alakowe omo oko", and i just laugh, but truth be told, water in such water-pot is naturally cold.


Maybe i'll still get one sef.

Billyonaire: The water is fetched from natural streams in the village then, but now even though the water is from bore-holes, I think I prefer it to the fluoridated CWAY water we drink here in Lagos. Fluorides in water causes a lot of health hazards, and its one way that the industrial complexes use to decimate our population. Earthen Pot, the taste of that water brings back wonderful memories and makes me remember where I come from, and appreciate where I am, and ponder about the future. We all need these reminiscences to appreciate who we are.

Can't remember drinking water that housed live catfish ( unless you folks means something else by that), but I do know water with catfish in it, will have a smell?


Are you sure you're not making up stories?

Catfish has a very strong smell.

Btruth: if it is not cat fish, it could electric fish. One of them I'm sure.

itstpia1:

True, just wondering how that was possible though.

Tadpoles take a few days or weeks to hatch, and assuming they were already in the water when it was being fetched, should have been filtered out at the stream before reaching home.

However, I guess if the bucket or bowl was dipped into the water instead of using a smaller bowl to transfer the water into the bucket from the stream, its possible tadpoles could have gotten in there.

Billyonaire: . Before the pot is refilled, the tabpole is thrown out with the sediments. .

irishCream: brilliant student! Remind me that ur course of study again

bunmioguns:



don't just quote


confess

Didn't want to say, the water usually has to be thrown out if tadpoles are noticed in it.

Mosquito larvae are somewhat more manageable and even then, the pot still has to be emptied at some point.
