Contaminated Water Causes Scare In Lagos by anointedf(m): 8:40am On Jun 14, 2011
Lagosians, on Monday, woke up to the scare of a blackberry message warning them on the purchase or consumption of a deadly bottle water known as Dew, allegedly brought into the country from Tanzania


The water, the author of the message sent into the blackberry of some Lagosians, said had killed 180 Tanzanians because it contained dangerous chemicals capable of destroying human bodies.


The message reads, “I cannot verify this story but this is an alert. Just got this from a friend that works with the Customs and Excise in Nigeria.There is a bottle water killing people, The name is DEW. Please do not buy/drink. It is contaminated with dangerous chemicals that destroy one’s body system. 180 died in Tanzania. It is in the Nigerian market, pass it on

This may be a form of blackmail to tanish a competing brand name. But if the information turns out to be false, then it would have given the "Dew" Bottled water a wonderful publicity

This is a complete lie and a malicious damage to another person's business. Anything like that will not be reported by an Individual but my NAFDAC. Why are people so wicked, you want to pull somebody down because you want to win in a competition. I advise you package your own water well and reduce the price, it will sell, forget this attitude, it won't lead you to anywhere.

Ok, let my ask you, what was the particular chemical or contaminant in the water that killed those people in Tanzania?

That would have scared me too. . .

Contaminated water can really cause dangerous diseases like Cholera and cough.

I don't really blame lagosians. . .

There can be several reasons for the contamination of the water. One of the main reasons for it are the leaking pipes. Therefore it is important that to take of the leaking pipes. The other thing is in order to protect ourselves from the diseases caused by the contamination of the water it is better to boil the water and then use it. One can even use the purifiers for it.

Please, don't buy or drink any bottled water called "DEW". Customs says it was
