I grew up knowing that Pot, it got broken 4years ago,same year I graduated from the University.. thank God am not from the Indomie age

Sunbellar:
Please tell us your research because I know the research must have been by a Nigerian or African. Tell us why it's better than my deep freezer

Just random articles online. But i know the researcher identified the clay used in molding it as the major instrument of cooling the water. At the same time releasing calcium into the water. Thats why people that drink from that pot are unusually strong and healthy.

All of una wey dey quote me, calling me liar, God dey watch una in 15D

when i mean "once" i mean going to the village once for my COBES...

Unilorin medical students will understand what COBES means...

I drank from that water pot once in my 200L that means there was a time i drank water from that pot ...

And it was always clean and cool, saying sweet was an exaggeration...

I have just seen my haters on nairaland... So either kiss my a55 or lick it....

Omi inu amu.....when u are born in the 80's downward u will actually drink from this.

But you should also think about the health implications such as breeding different types of pathogens as it's not properly covered, unsterilised etc. Frank enough, I drank from such a pot but I have grown to realise its health implications mostly these contemporary time that untold sicknesses are walloping the world. My take is that the health risks outweighs its importance!

On seeing this post today, I remembered the saying of my grand parents (RIP) that if you have a water and can not offer it free to a visitor, what else can you offer to humanity?

This image reminded me of the pot I met at the corner of my grand parents house in the early 80(s), Their house was almost at the end of the village and thus visitor coming to the village on trek always berth under our big dogoyaro tree for resting before continue their journey. all these visitors always drink from the pot, some who knew the content of the pot don't even ask before going for drinking the water and the water always finish quickly, this was a source of embarrassment to one of my uncles who claimed that why every body either the known and unknown are allowed to be drinking from the pot.

The old man used to counter the guy that "I kept this pot because of frequent demand for drinking water from passerby, and one thing you should know in life is that - if you have a water and can not offer it free to a visitor, what else can you offer to humanity?"

But today world, reverse is the case because we lived to have released the health implication of such generosity. I lived my life to have grown out of drinking from such pot but I cannot drink from that same pot today again. When my children are querying me of why not looking at NAFDAC number for biscuit before I opened it, I don't think they will ever near that kind pot each time we traveled to village.

oyesiju: my parent own is bigger than that one,anyways they are still using it,interestingly my dad buy it b4 he marry my mum about 40 years ago.

Exactly! My dad will tell us not to break the pot o! That he had been using that pot before he married our mother

Refreshingly you can't get tired of the water

In my native tongue, we call it Urdu. if you have not tasted the water from this pot then you are missing something.

DickDastardly: Whats that? Some fettish pot?

With this pot u dont need fridge... I thank my grand parents who introduced me to it when they were alive... I miss them so much...huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuuuuuuuu(cryn)

Those days at Abule Onigbedu, when grandma was still alive I enjoyed drinking water from that aamu. Yea, the water is naturally cold and refreshing. Its just that, there was a time we travelled to the village, and after drinking d water I started purging. It changed my body system completely.

DickDastardly: Whats that? Some fettish pot? I only take chilled boddle warrer

Its never a fetish nor evil pot but a blessing from our grandfather's local technology .

I drank from it oooooo, though you can hardly see it now this days.

For God sake give some credit to the guy who first invented this. Mohammed Bah Abba, a Nigerian teacher (1960-2010), may god bless his soul was the first person who implemented this in Nigeria.

I drink from it everyday.

....na long tym tin b dix....

I did, and the water is always cold, back then

You really missed something great. If I may tell you, the water in this "fettish pot" is colder and hygenic than some refrigerated water of today.
