A Paramount ruler dat cannot dig borehole for his people.
How much does it cost for such a project?
But he keeps on collecting millions of naira from the oil coys as royalties every year.
No wonder he has d money to afford 300 bags of sachet water for his family.

Don't rush to write if you can't read and comprehend.

How do you expect the King to dig borehole for his kingdom where their underground water is contaminated with hydrocarbon.

If you are science incline, you will understand that Benzene is carcinogenic and treatment of hydrocarbon contaminated water is very expensive.

What the community need is for the government(local, state or federal ) to build a public water treatment plant.

A typical Nigerian will blame Ameachi for this. That is how most people think.

That's what they say in public...

Until you try digging a borehole in that community.

Then they stretch out their hands to be settled first.

Niger Delta indigenes are their worst enemies.

The closer you get to them, the more you will understand the retrogressive dynamics at play.

You either don't want to understand, or are programmed not to understand. Water is already contaminated. A borehole will still be the same contaminated water. Na wah for you sha.
You should read again. He said the NNDC sunk a borehole and the water is clean. So the NNDC should sink more boreholes instead of diverting the money. So hold your leaders responsible.

Our thinking for many decades, even as teenager(s) : Niger Delta region should be one of the best if not the best region in the whole of Africa assuming our government have been doing things right, pre democracy and when our denocracy started in 1999.
The best schools, best hospitals, best ports, best everything should be in Niger Delta region for real,
while they spread it to other region all over the nation from there.
This is where over half of what we depend on as a nation comes from.
You protect and guide where you are making your money from.

But our leaders and Niger delta leaders have only been after their personal pockets.
There is one of their leader that disappeared since 2015 after collecting BILLIONS from the Jonathan just to secure the pipelines, another one used our money to go established a university in a neighboring country!
There is another one that was jailed in the UK few years ago!
A big shame.

May Ken Saro-Wiwa's soul continue to rest in perfect peace.
We pray he won't die in vain for his people.

A monarch in the Ogale community, Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chief Harrison Odungwere, said on Tuesday that some residents of his area cook and bathe with bottled and sachet water following the contamination of the groundwater in the area.

Odungwere, who is the paramount ruler of the Mbunmeta community in Ogale, expressed sadness that residents of the area had continually consumed benzene contaminated water due to the absence of potable water in the community.

He, however, called on the Federal Government to provide potable water by industrialising its supply in the area, as private boreholes produced water laced with crude oil.

He said, “I have about 300 bags of sachet water, which we use for cooking and bathing, which will last my family a week. But those who can’t afford bottled or sachet water still drink, bathe and cook with the contaminated water.

“Our community is heavily impacted and polluted by hydrocarbons for the past 15 years or thereabouts.


“The Ogale people have been drinking highly polluted water and suffering until when the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project came up and started supplying potable water with tankers, which was a big relief that time until that programme failed.”

Odungwere added that though the Niger Delta Development Commission had dug one borehole in the area, where the residents access clean water, the supply was inadequate for the people.

“The NDDC has dug one borehole somewhere in our community for people go to fetch water, but it is not enough. We need an industrialised water supply system that will be connected to people’s homes in our community,” he stressed.

Exactly! If you see the fight that goes on around there over tiny tiny issues

They are in a lot of trouble since the thing has reached their drinking water!

Niger deltas leaders, politicians, activists and militants are their own worst nightmare.

Imagine having 2 ministries at your coffer and nothing to show for it.

The amnesty programme is also there as the youth who can really hold their politicians responsible are taking care of.

I saw Ijaw youth council venting on the new NDDC board take over from their corrupt board members. This clearly shows the youth have lost it and are just after the national cake at the detriment of the poor masses in their states.

I did this at Madonna University, Elele. They created artificial scarcity to make us transit from bathing sachet water to bathing and drinking bottled water when they noticed we weren't buying their bottled water. Absolute monopoly of production and supply of every single commodity
