Excerpts
"A close look at the bill shows that its overriding objective is to vest in the Federal Government the total control of all the fresh water resources across Nigeria. The implications are numerous.

If this bill is passed into law, the rights of citizens over fresh water resources – ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, springs, etc, will be eroded.

It will be illegal, under the circumstance, for any person, anywhere, including in the remote villages, to sink a borehole, for instance, without permit from the Federal Government.

Borehole permit would have to be obtained from Abuja and getting it would be most difficult."

The way some useless bills are been debated upon in the National Assembly, they will soon debate on "breath and pay bill"

First they came for the oil,
then they came for the land
and now they are coming for the water...

The south is a conquered territory for the caliphate. The Hausas and the fulanis can chose to decide on how to use/share the war booty (1967-70).

Maybe that explains why the majority of Nigerians who emigrate abroad are from the South. They are escaping a war zone.
