Mr. Ateki told the News Agency of Nigeria in Otuoke that lack of drinking water was the major problem in the community.

According to him, the situation is due to the pollution of rivers in the area by oil spillage.

He said the community had suffered inadequate potable water over the years, and urged the state and federal governments to provide residents with potable water.

“Otuoke community depends on rivers and now that all the rivers are polluted by oil, it is difficult for us to get potable water here,” Mr. Ateki said.

Emmanuel Agede, a member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, serving in the area, expressed dissatisfaction with the situation and called for government’s intervention.

“You will not believe it that here in Otuoke, we use water from an unused suck-away pit dug near our lodge, for washing clothes and bathing.

“For cooking and drinking, we buy sachet water; life is very difficult here; we spend the bulk of our monthly allowances on water for survival.”

you sound pained. Why?.

Just shut up. And I am 100% Igbo and an insider in Jonathan's administration.
If you cannot state facts, just shut up and go and get a better job than being a poor intellectually re-tarded apologist for an incompetent political leader and the first President of Nigeria from the south-south whom God gave the golden grace never given to anyone from the Niger Delta before and he failed to develop even his home state.

Go to Bayelsa State before talking and exposing your ignorance and stupidity here.
Even his own people are disappointed.
6 years as President of Nigeria and he could not even build an airstrip in Bayelsa!
Do you know that he spent more money to entertain himself and female celebrities than he spent on uncompleted projects in Bayelsa State. The totem of his failure is that abandoned Tower Hotel in the state capital that heaven knows that that construction is the Tower of Corruption that has gulped more than N7 billion so far and still remains uncompleted.
Even Apapa in Lagos is better than Yenagoa.

Bull.sh.it! Your being igbo,efik or ijaw is irrelevant to me,my problem is you are suffering from some form of a down syndrome coupled with criminal characteristics. So you need serious help

free the madman jare, sebi we have already seen there 100days in office.

The ones accusing the OP of bigotry are the greatest hypocrites because most of them hate President Buhari first because he is a northerner and muslim.

It must really hurt that the only person that enjoys all this support at home and globally, and seems to have the capacity, integrity and experience to deliver Nigeria while outshining Jonathan happens to be a Northerner.

Wail on

gboss4sure:


Oh yeah, he is outshining Jonathan already.

At this rate of outshining, in the next 4years Nigeria might become Zimbabwe

Your write-up oozes tribal,bigotry and that of a village town crier.

What did your brother Obasonjo achieve in his home state Ogun you tribal goat. What exactly did he achieve in the whole of south west,you pig that think a President must be tribal instead of being a Nationalist.

Your Buhari needed a Tony Blair to put him through how to tackle Nigeria numerous problems right?...Then those who call him a dullapo must have over estimated his ability because imb.ecile should be the right word.

Johnathan has already build the house and done the roofing in power,railway,security,construction,agriculture,Refineries and the economy and is out of power for your "god" Buhari to ensure maintenance of these. So if your "god" start taking praises for the "house " built in powe,refineries etc without doing the maintenance,that wont surprise most of us who know the imbe.cile does not have anything to offer this great country

Dont mind the fool. Jonah-daft was so useless to his people. Ordinary potable water for his community to drink, the drunkard refused to provide. he expects them to be on kai-kai 24/7

@Paid Agent Cant u engage someone in a conversation, with insulting d person?

Icecream4U:
@paid_agent, what are you saying?

who're u?

IGBOSON1:


^^^Another advantage Buhari has is that PDP and it's members (mainly South East and South South) don't play the kind of do-or-die politics that APC and its members (mainly core muslim north) play! They wouldn't even know where to begin if asked to make the country ungovernable the way the desperate, hegemonic, oligarchic and born-to-rule core muslim north did for most of GEJs tenure!

Give Buhari the kind of wicked conditions that was given to GEJ by his people and sit back and watch him dig a hole for himself; he's not as diplomatic, forgiving, calm and kind-hearted like GEJ is and his attitude will further exacerbate already existing problems, schisms and fault-lines (like we're seeing with Niger Delta militancy and the Biafra question)!

Jul 6, 2013 - He called on the government to support the low income earners like him with ... workers, he said he goes home every day with not less than N3,000. Suleiman Ahmadu from Jigawa State, a water vendor – Mai ruwa is another ...
But from morning till evening, Suleiman uses his trawler to supply water in 20 litre jerry cans to the people in need. Scarcity of water is one of the big challenges confronting the residents of not only Yenagoa, but the entire state owing to lack of pipe borne water in the state. Suleiman told Weekly Trust that his trawler can carry 15 jerry cans of 20 litres each, but while he pays about N80 to fill the 15 jerry cans with water at about five Naira per jerry can, he sells each can for N25, making N375 in each round.
