Bloody thieves. Bloody bloody thieves.

Questions to be answered, do the producers in the North get these imported rolls at the same increased price as their Southern counterparts? Do the importers in the North get the same exchange rate or suffer the same shortage of dollar? Do the producers in the North experience the same miserable power supply?

If your answers to all these questions is yes, how then are they still selling at N5, and some people are making as much as 300% profit. WTF!!!! angry angry angry angry That is freaking exploitation. No excuse.

Tap water ti take over!!!!

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again grin grin grin

the stats says one thing. South south and south east are their own worst enemies.... the same thing applies to the price of petrol...greed!

The hike is artificial and unfounded. Do the guys up north source theirs differently?
It echoes weakness in the governors of SE and SW. The laxity in governance, indifference and insensitivity to the welfare of those goverened.
Well, as the is nothing but exploitative, these companies forget folks existed and drank water prior to satchet water. The stats show that se and sw have always been taken advantage of anyway, before and with the hike. GREED!
If they refuse to sell like the north, no qualms. Boil your borehole water, drink when cool.
Boycott the IDIOTS and lets see who will buckle.

All of a sudden, petrochemical products used in making pure water sachet is now imported.

@Op get your facts right.

Do you know the number of petrochemical companies we have in Nigeria that produces the "seeds" being used to form the pure water sachet?

Don't come and feed us with lies.

There have been sharp increase in d prices of pure water across d states due to one reason or the other.

1. The sachet which the water in contained in is imported

2. It comes as a plain roll and very large. the printers buy this plain roll and print the pure water company name on it.

3. Its in different sizes and measured in KG. 1Kg was N530 before, now its N1000.

4. Those printers use different chemicals and inks to print. These chemicals all has a hike in price.

5. They also hire labourers incurred other running costs to it.

6. A pure water company buy this finished roll at N1000 instead of N530 and buy the packing bags at N5000 instead of N3200.

7. The company pays staff.

8. The machines run on diesel.

9. Maintenance of service vehicles, pays rent.

10. Maintenance of machines.

11. Buy fuel for service vehicles.

12. Buy chemical for treatment of product.

13. Most hawkers are usually charged dues like in Abia and Edo sachet hawker pays as much at N60 for tax.

14. Retailers also tend to pay for lighting and ice blocks.

**Majority of the company that produce Low density Polyethylene (LDPE) @ Eleme petrochemical industry in Rivers state and Lagos state have shut down due to high running cost and those that are importing this product are in shortage of Forex.

at the end of the day everything go bounce on government head, but wait o, are they not buying nylon in the north? i noticed the hike affected SS and SE most, is their nylon different or selfishness dey worry them there ni?

There is a market in Abuja called "Wuse Market", if there is a commodity that is available in an aboki & Igbo Man shop, the difference is always too much, you begin to wonder is this not the same thing i priced in this other shop. I didn't even know this, until my igbo friend (Chux) told me about it. I'd wanted to buy white singlet, he advised me to buy from an Aboki shop instead; i was amazed by the extreme variation of price of the exact same type of singlet.

It's really sad!!

who goes into business and sell below acceptable price,na charity business grin grin grin wrong perception,an hausa man is comfortable buying a product at 1000 naira and selling at 1050 naira while the southerners will insist they sell it at 1500 that's the simple logic.in Enugu for example pure water had been 5naira all the whine you know why!

5 naira it is in Kano. Just like someone said earlier, the southerners (South south, South east and south west) are the cause of their own problem, we southerners living in the north do buy things very cheap, sometimes when you hear how much my brothers pay for transportation in the south, one will begin to wonder if we are from same country, just as I have always said, the North would've been the best place to live if not for crisis, most of the southerners hate themselves and the level of greed is beyond normal, we always want to make 1000% profit all the time whereas the average Hausa man is contented with what they make everyday and we always think we are wiser than them yet they are also in position of authority, they take live very simple.

We the southerners need to tell ourselves the truth, we dislike one another that's why it is easier for government to take advantage of us. I have lot to say on this but let me go back to work.

N:B Southerners include (Yoruba, Igbo, Binis and everyone after river Niger).
My name is Temi, I am just here to make common sense.
u made a very salient point bro. Lemme clarify u on some things.
Firstly the northerners have a simple life, which the religion helps 2enforce.
Then d core of d matter, things are not evenly distributed. There're more private firms in d south than d north. Majority of southerners are more enterprising than their northern counterparts. What %age of households in d north consume pure water compared to d south.
Hair barbing should not be costlier in d community of vultures. Structural situation of things in d country makes life tougher in d south, but its not true. I'm looking for a better way to put it clearer without writing long epistle, but d current is caused by structural inbalance n ideals not greed.
Lemme reiterate, anyday this country restructures to regional autonomy, south'll be better heaven than it is.
