My state, Kwara state is too local. Imagine still fetching water from the well in 2023 😑😑😑

The truth is that the well I am seeing is not properly protected. The ring is supposed to come up a bit higher. Negligence caused the death of the young boy.

Some parents are just useless, why subject a 7 years old to fetch water inside the well all by himself. Chai

Letting a 7-year-old fetch water from the well should be seen as child abuse because something like that would not be tolerated in normal society.

Very true. Imagine a state where the elites installs water pipes in front of their houses as their own quota of contributing to the society simply because state govt are the ones responsible for the distribution of drinking water through the state water cooperation. Funny you'll wait till anytime they distribute water.
Why person no go fall inside well?

Ilorin is worst apart from the fact that it's a peaceful state. Imagine a state where graduates of 3 children still earns 30k monthly and not complaining. If not for students that dominate the state, trust me ilorin for dey useless.
A state that doesn't generate any revenue but instead depends on federal government for sharing allocation.

Bros boreholes are not luxury. Trust me, well in 2023 na ffuckup.
Imagine my house in lagos, we the neighbours contributed money for a new boreholes when we discovered the old borehole is closer to the soakaway which makes the water not safe for anything.
Konga in 2023 na rubbish bro. Boreholes in lagos no reach 200k, now tell me how much be your phone? Wey the neighbours no fit contribute do, instead waiting for landlords wey no send una papa

Is not about being a rich man son. I can't remember or recall where I saw well. We force shell to give us(community) water. It wasn't easy but we succeeded, and it has been running for over 10yrs. Before now, we use the river.

In the town, the ministry of water resources/water board isn't working, so well meaning individuals sink personal (borehole) tap. While some sell, few give out freely.

It'sactually the Government responsibility to provide portable water, but this is Nigeria!

This type of sad news shows that it’s not just the looters who are hailed as tribesmen leaders that are wicked, but all of us with our terribly low expectations of our local and state government officials in particular as well as those of the federal government.

If Kwara people had enough expectations for pipe borne water from Lawal, Saraki, Ahmed and Abdulrahman, would the four of them have been such failures in this regard

Too bad.
The well most likely had no protective ring around it.

They do have raised walls round them.

Kids like to stand on these walls as they fetch water.

WealthyNigerian:
This you demonic efforts to make other People to hate Yorubas shall always fail as you have failed throughout History of Nigeria. You pocketed Jonathan's and used his Government to colonize Nigeria for good 6 Years, and you never made Nigeria to become London or America.

now.You have a good point, but we were forced into that position because of Nnamdi Azikiwe's cancerous Envy for the Great Obafemi Awolowo. Did you read History of how Awolowo went to plan Partnership with Azikiwe just before independence that Azikiwe should be the Prime Minister and he would be his Deputy because as Awo foresaw and called his attention to, that it would be too Disastrous to allow Fulanis to Lead the Post-independence Nigeria. Azikiwe and Awolowo took an Oath as Southern Brothers to together become the First Leaders of Nigeria since Nigeria is a Political Scripture of Gangup of 2 against 1 among the 3: Yoruba, Igbo, HausaFualni.

Awolowo was shocked to marrow when he saw Azikiwe with Tafawa Balewa on TV the following morning Launching alliance with the Fualni to become the first Leaders of Post-independent Nigeria. Azikiwe hates so much that all European News Papers, American, Western World and other African Countries News Papers have been Praising Awolowo as the first-ever Genius African Leader that was Creating Western World kind of Industrial and Technological Advancement on African Land for the first time in History of Humanity, achieving things in Yoruba Land that were only in Top Countries like America, Germany, UK, etc and not even yet in many European Countries as at then. Azikiwe felt so intimidated despite that Awo submitted to be his Deputy to save Southern Nigeria from future Fulani Destructions that later happened for several Years down the line just as Awolowo the man that Saw tomorrow has warned. Azikiwe the father of Betrayals in Nigeria betrayed Awolowo, and rather went to submit himself to Fualnis as their slave compensated with figure-head Position. He did that just because he knew that Nigeria is guaranteed to surely Develop if he adopted the Partnership with Awolowo, but he felt the whole World would still have known that Awolowo despite being his Deputy is the Real Brain behind the Greatness that would have happened, by now all Africans, Philippines, Pakistanis, etc would be begging for Nigeria's Visa. So, he myopically think Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo would have still gotten all the Praise and Glory indirectly even just as a deputy.

You can see how Igbos wickedly Selfish Desire to see nobody else shine except themselves made them to plunge Nigeria into Crisis that the Great Obafemi Awolowo strive to prevent even before it was foolishly birthed?! Only GOD ALMIGHTY knows how many hundreds of thousands of indigenous Nigerian Tribes that Fulanis have killed, slaughtered maimed since that evil union that Azikiwe orchestrated and Aguyi Ironsi further Strengthened by destroy the Regional Federal Governmental System in his demonic hope to pool all the Supreme Authority over other Tribes under himself as the selfish greedily wicked Soul that he is. The innocent Blood of all Nigerians slaughtered is on the head of all these wickedly Greedy People that has always from onset plan to Dominate and Enslave the innocent Tribes and Lands of indigenous Nigerians.

It's funny how broke parents raise their kids. A broke mom or dad would send a 5 year old on a dangerous errand without a care in the world, but as soon as they taste riches, a 15 year old becomes too young to go on such errands.
