Just surfin through the net and came across several reports that the popular and affordable sachet water a.k.a pure water will soon be banned by the government. I just dont know what to think of this development.
Anyway, i just hope somebody in government woke up this morning and thought today was april 1

This rumur has been lingering on since early this year especially in Benin but I have been wondering what they will benefit if they finally bound this pure water, or is it that denying the less privileges access to afford many commodities is increasing their life span? Just asking o

...

On what ground are they banning it? For hraltj reason or environmental? Both are essential and should be well regulated for the good of all. Some of those water are just mere untreated well water from contaminated grounds,especially in lagos and they are instant typhoid agents.

Wow

I think i just head Ochendo in far away Umuahia heaving a sigh of relief!......visits to Aba don't need an umbrella as part of standard protection kit anymore!

Dey won stop d importation of tokunbo cars n nw dey won ban sachet pure water. Must d masses always suffer Which kind government b dis na. Doin dis wil only bring abt more segregation btw d poor n d rich.

Just ban without providing any alternative , when are we going to have right leaders in the country .
Have they provided portable water for even half the populace ?

i wonder what products their brain is made of. Granted some so called "pure" water are not that hygienic buh isnt that what organisations like NAFDAC are for. Why dont they just fizzle out those "pure" water that are not up to the required standard.
I see garri becomin their next victim. Watch this space!

Good move by the fg coz pure water sachet is really an environmental hazard. All nylon should be ban too.

You have made a valid point BUT the danger of this so called `pure water' pose is far beyond the benefits.However it would have been a welcome development if the government had provided a meaniful alternative before it is ban.

Ds rumor will continue until thy kingdom come

They can't ban it. They know they are the cause of the existence of purewater in the first place and they are not ready to provide an alternative.

Please do. Those things aren't safe abeg.
