So I recently packed into this street in the heart of Calabar called Mekenge Layout and I have noticed something unique. Since Water Board stopped functioning in the state, water has been a challenge to the residents of Calabar. This has made many resort to digging personal borehole for private use. In other houses that do not have borehole, access to water remains a huge challenge to them. The compound I recently packed into is just a single room with no water. So sourcing for water is still a challenge to us without borehole. However, while majority of the compounds are upstairs (big houses) and have borehole, none of them care to remember those who don't have. An exception to this is a bungalow (a small house) who decided to give out the water generally and FREELY to anyone who needs it. This amazes me a lot and show me a great lesson to learn. It simply tells me that to give is not by having it all before you can give. It shows even when you have it all, you may not still give. It also shows that who may help you in life might not be the richest person, but he who is willing to help you. There is even a hotel in the same street but the hotel don't give water. This could have at least formed part of their corporate social responsibilities, but they don't. This should be a lesson to you that who will help you in this life might not be who has it all. What is your take on this? Picture 1 & 2 - showing showing houses in the street. 130 Likes 9 Shares

Chifriend:So, exactly why did you create this thread abeg? So we know that one house on your block gives out water for free? Or to incense people against the water board? Or is it to force people to open their water source to public access? Chifriend:Ok, so what is it that you learned from them? 20 Likes 1 Share |

Even in my family I see relatives talking about how this person's husband owns a big hotel in Akure and that cousin works in Shell and Chevron etc but when we need money to solve family issues such as a sick relation in hospital they won't contribute a dime or grudgingly send very paltry sums. But you see some very few struggling and even doing menial jobs contributing freely from the little they have to salvage a critical situation. These are the people that deserve my respect these days. I have come to realise that Giving is an art that comes from special grace from above 102 Likes 7 Shares |

OP @ Chifriend, Easy with the entitlement mentality. This post should be directed at the government who has failed in its duty to provide water, let your neighbors be. Next time the politicians come to you with propaganda and tribal or religious sentiments, you know how to repay them. Perhaps you could start some form of activism that could attract them to fix the problem. Also, learn to make friends and curry favors that will help you get by, that’s how the world works. 5 Likes |
