Why must the masses of Rivers State purchase water? I was greeted with extra-ordinary curtesy by those who my security guard use to to allow to fetch drinking water from my reservior, even in my absential today.

A lady among the group i met across the croad said"sir, thank you for allowing us to be fetching water in your house, na God go bless you ooo". I felt this is not necessary considering the facts that am not buying the water either, except fot little fuel and effort put in pumping the water from ground.

All of a sudden, i remembered i used to have 24 hours water supply from the water board when i was in Bauchi. I can point out that as far back as 2000, i had a water meter in my house, which is use by the water board officials to bill the rate of water consumption.

If Bauchi State(poorer than a local government in Rivers) can put in 16" pipe layout to provide water to its citizen then why not Rivers State?

Please lets begin!Rivers State?

Please lets begin!

the same reason the whole yoruba land is underdeveloped with 70 percent poverty rate and highest illliteracy rate in southern nigeria.

If States like Gombe are having a functional water system capable of providng the required gallons needed by its citizen, why wont Rivers State Do same?

It is a norm in Rivers to see houses been built with complete bore hole sysytem and decorative external outlets for commercial perposes.

If fact, the major aspect of concern to most tenants is water, which can express using this phrase "oga, water dey the house? If water no dey i no go fit enter"

Thanks. Can you address the topic?
