What a tragedy.

As for those trying to compare this to happenings in Africa,may I remind you that it was in the past.

I condemn such barbaric act,but my point is that we loose hundreds of women and children in Africa everyday because of our visionless and wicked leader's.

My fear is that this action might continue for so many years to come.

Western societies are deep in occultic practices like Africans.What you term ritual sacrifice could also be a code for organ trafficking network worldwide.Many children and adults get missing in USA never to be seen again.These children and adults are used for sex,sacrifices,organ donation or hunting parties of the rich and mighty.

Hi fellow Nairalanders, I want to share my story with you. I have been living in Canada for over 20 years, unfortunately, a Nigerian girl whom I love very much broke my heart in 2005, I was disillusioned and almost died from the depression. In 2007, my father, God rest his soul decided to introduce me to his doctor, a fresh graduate of the nation's premier university. I instantly fell in love with her, we would talk for hours, my phone bill was astronomical, unfortunately, in 2008 I was arrested in a caribean country for attempted smuggling. My wife patiently waited for me till I got out in 2012. We got married and had a daughter, but because of my criminal past, I could not sponsor my wife and daughter till 2019, so I had to travel to Nigeria every year to visit them.
To cut the long story short, i spent almost 15K dollars altogether, everything was great in the beginning but then I lost my 60k a year job in 2020 and that was the beginning of the end of my marriage. My wife would leave home for two days claiming she's working overtime, she would cook for my daughter but not for me , we longer communicate in the house, she refuses to contribute anything towards mortgage or bills because according to her, it's man's job to pay for everything even though I m only making minimum wage working as a concierge. A particular guy drops her off every time she goes to work and when i asked her who he is , she went into a tirade questioning my rights to question her.I tolerated her effrontery till three weeks ago when she was boldly telling a guy she loves him right in front of me . I lost my cool and I ended up in jail for 3 days . Right now I m not allowed to go back to the house or contact my daughter whom she now claims is not mine .I have decided to return to Nigeria with the 25k left in my account,i cant go back to prison again because prisoners often targets anyone accused of harming a woman or a child. I'm appealing to anyone to please hook me up with a job or any hustle in Nigeria.

Try relocating to America for a fresh start.

Veqtor:
I'm nuh in support of any restructuring. We want a referendum.

But...for d sake of this post, what will happen if everyone sits down nd write a new constitution rather than adopting old ones? Will their hands wither away?

The old constitution was agreed upon by all the ethnic groups in Nigeria.The new ones were created by the Military in the likes of Obasanjo and copied by Abdulsalami.

*YYF rejects the 1963 Nigerian constitution.*

A number of Yoruba governors and leaders have called for the adoption of the 1963 constitution in the ongoing Senate Constitutional Review of the 1999 constitution. However, the YYF on behalf of the young Yoruba rejects the 1963 constitution.

It should be noted that the first indigenous constitution of Nigeria was written between 1957 and 1959 in London by the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria, namely the Yoruba, Ißo and the Hausa/Fulani who represented the minority groups within the then three regions of Nigeria.

The three ethnic groups agreed, inter alia, to live together as a country of nations, named the country the Federation of Nigeria and adopted the parliamentary system of government based on regional government with a proviso that allowed the minority ethnic groups in the three regions to have their own separate regions subsequently.

The constitution entered into force on the 1st October 1960, the day of Nigeria's independence from the English colonial thugs. The Ißo and the Fulani established the first indigenous government in Nigeria following the departure of the English colonial thugs after both had formed a coalition government.

In May 1961, exactly seven months after the English colonial government had left Nigeria and handed over power to Zik and Balewa, Chief Awolowo, a Yoruba, and the leader of the opposition in the Nigeria's parliament moved a motion in which he called for the minority ethnic groups in the Western, Eastern and Northern regions to be granted their own separate regions based on the agreement we entered before Nigeria's independence of 1960.

The motion was adopted on a yeas and nays basis. However, Zik, an Ißo and the then Governor General of Nigeria was against the minority ethnic groups having their own separate region and advised Balewa, a Fulani and the then Prime Minister of Nigeria to reject the Awolowo's motion because it was voted on by a voice vote rather than a physical votes cast of members of the parliament. Balewa immediately voted the motion down.

Awolowo did not give up and a year after, he again in May 1962, moved the same motion to have the minority ethnic groups granted their own separate regions out of the three regions of Nigeria. On this occasion, the motion was passed, not by a voice vote, but by the physical votes of all the members of the Nigerian Parliament present.

In anger, Zik and Balewa, accused Awolowo and 21 other Yoruba of planning a coup to remove them from power and had them arrested.

The Ißo and Fulani immediately after Awolowo's arrest presented a motion to the parliament to amend the Nigeria's 1960 constitution.

And whilst the amendments to the constitution was ongoing without the participation of the Yoruba because their leader, Awolowo had been arrested and held in prison, the Ißo and the Fulani removed from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Akoko-Edo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw areas and created for them the Mid-West Region. But they refused to allow the Yoruba in the Ilorin and Kabba divisions which are Yoruba people to be added as parts of the Western Region. They also denied the Kanuri, Tiv, Nupe and other minorities of the northern region their own separate region as well as refused the Eastern Ijaw, Efik/Ibibio and the other minorities in the eastern region to have their own separate region.

In September 1963, Zik and Balewa jailed Awolowo and 21 other Yoruba to 10 years in prison based on a false allegation of planning a coup to remove Zik and Balewa from power. In the same September of 1963, the Ißo and Fulani amended the 1960 constitution, changed the name of Nigeria from the Federation of Nigeria to the Republic of Nigeria and made the central government of Nigeria stronger and powerful than the regional governments. The Yoruba nation was not a party to the 1963 constitution.

The constitution of 1963 stands rejected by the Yoruba people. The Ißo and the Fulani wrote the 1963 constitution essentially to turn Nigeria from a Federation of Regions to a Republic that makes the central government stronger and powerful at the expense of the regional governments against the agreement before Nigeria's independence.

The 1963 constitution was written by the Ißo and the Fulani to rotate the central government between the two ethnic groups, and for them to control the wealth and resources of the Yoruba nation.

The Yoruba nation has the majority of the population in Nigeria and the economic backbone of the country. What the Yoruba nation wants is a return to the parliamentary system of government based on 10 or 15 ethnic regions with each region in control of its laws, police, military, judiciary, taxes, mineral and natural resources, and contribute 10% of its income to the central government. And for only the Yoruba nation to produce the President of Nigeria. Anything else is the Oduduwa Republic or an outright war.

So I was updated.

Everybody wants to have that bloodline

Moreover, people want to have tall brilliant kids which is a dominant gene in our bloodline.

Have it in their CV that they are affiliated to Yoruba demons

If our men keep marrying others who will marry our Yoruba sisters.for the muslims it is no problem me lolorun wi.The Yoruba christians women will have no other oprion than to marry elsewhere like the East,middle belt or Muslim men from their tribe.

Then yours is a life of misfortune.

Did you know??

8 in 10 Yoruba women would leave their home to go and do "bend down collect" for one Alhaji in the same street.

Oya, start looking for another woman because you've just entered one chance by marrying Òmò Wobe, awon Òmò Olobo council.

Your life is in misfortune not mine.I married a very good yoruba woman maybe you associate with low class and low self esteem women.Iru eiye leye woto.

SangoOlukosoOba:
A goat does not give birth to a Lion.

We Yoruba demons have what it takes to attract an Igbo lady and why we sometimes marry them out of pity or charitable works. Our kids, irrespective of mother`s background will replicate same. And you have to consider everybody associates with the West, just like you buttressed now. No one will want to associate with village in the East and dumb the West. The Western pride is real. And why almost all your brothers are in the West raising families and even speaking Yoruba. By 2050, Igbo might even be an extinct language.

Fulani women don dey marry Yoruba men.They are competing with igbo girls for Yoruba men.

Death is as a result of wrongs done against the words of God.
God loves man when it hath created man.
God gave man the earth and said to man: bring the earth under your control!
But the earth now bring man under its control after the rebel of man.
Man lost control of the earth, and the earth brings man under its control.
Man lost the grant of God to bring the earth under him.
Even the life after dead/death which was advocated by Yeshuel (Jesus) has been messed!
God hath no intention for the death of a man. God created man to live forever to control the earth and to bring the earth under his control, but man messup the grant of God and love to die rather than to live, and man continue dying and the earth have control over man through death and bring man under its control; Jesus said, because their father is devil and they obey devil rather than God because God is not their master/father, and the earth control them instead of them to bring the earth under their control!
God is the Father of Jsc ibekwe? .. Yes, truly!

SmartPolician:
After reading this lengthy interview, I shook my head. I have never seen a people as greedy and selfish as the South West's poltiical class. Presidency and VP for 8 years each.

You want to have it all while the rest of the South watches. Tomorrow, VP Osinbajo will start giving us a hypocritical lecture on fairness, justice and equity.

The Southwest political class didnot fold South East politicians hands.Let the East compete with the west.Power is not handed over on a platter of gold,you must work for it.

The North and South East have always been in the central govt since 1960 executive,Yorubas only started in 2015.
South East can be in opposition till they come back mainstream again.

Dont mind the drug addict ,FFK.What has FFK done for the Yoruba nation except double speak and betray like hos father took assasins to Ladoke Akintola residence to murder him in the presence of his family.

Fahdiga1:
So true. It is very obvious that Tinubu is hated by the majority of the Yorubas reason why no one speaks good of him. Tinubu has committed many unpardonable atrocities against the south west people and Nigeria at large and in fullness of time he will pay for his evil ways. That the Opolo eyed thief escaped from Chicago where he was a wanted drug lord doesn't mean he will escape the wrath of the people and the wrath of God. Tinubu will not end well

Like orji kalu and Peter obi will rot in jail ba.

From a Geology expert’s point of view

A former Head of Geology Department, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Smart Obioara, also aligned with both Udeogu and Ndukwe’s position. He confirmed that the geology of a particular area must be considered before a borehole drilling process commences. According to him, Enugu generally is a very bad place to drill for water and you can hardly find the rocks that can store water, although people have been making efforts and drilling wells.

“If you don’t have the necessary rock, what is called an aquifer, which can contain and also be able to release water in abundance, it will be hard. If you are not within the water table, the hope of getting water is slim and even if you do, it will dry up easily,” he explained.

Aquifer refers to when a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs. The rate of recharge is not the same for all aquifers, and that must be considered when pumping water from a well.

Projects worked at inauguration – WaterAid

The Enugu State Programme Lead for WaterAid, Terkimbi Tom, said that at the time of commissioning, the five boreholes drilled in Ugwuaji were working well and that if they have stopped working, then it is because of the nature of the area. Tom also confirmed that there are places where one can hardly get water at the pick of the dry season like in some of the locations where boreholes were rehabilitated.

He said: “I’m surprised to hear that places where we drilled have stopped working. It would not have been as a result of failure on our part because we are professionals. We did what we could do. But we don’t have control over the Geology of these places.”

He said the state government monitored the projects to ensure that they met the specifications as getting locations to drill in Ugwuaji, for instance, was a problem because “we had to do a lot of geophysical surveys.”

Poor access to clean water in a COVID-19 era

The COVID 19 pandemic made it evident that investments in the provision of basic water, sanitation and hygiene services must be a key priority in the coming years.

A total of 167 million homes out of the entire Nigerian population of over 200 million are said to be without access to hand washing facilities – especially worrying in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with hand washing being a critical infection prevention practice.

In June 2020, the Federal Government said that N10 billion would be shared among states for the construction and rehabilitation of water schemes as part of efforts to end COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, said that the interventions would include hiring WASH volunteers to educate the populace on the importance of hand washing and personal hygiene.

Access to clean water and sanitation, a critical SDG goal

The demand for water already exceeds the available supply in many regions and river basins, especially in parts of sub-Saharan Africa – where the vast majority of poor people live and where the population is growing most rapidly, according to the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).

Global water demand (withdrawals) is expected to increase by 40 per cent by 2030 and 55 percent by 2050, UNDESA stated. This is part of the reasons why member States of the United Nations came together in September 2015, to adopt the Sustainable Development (SDG) goals. These goals had access to clean water and sanitation occupying the 6th place. The aim is to ensure that everyone has sustainably managed safe water and sanitation.

Ensuring the sustainable provision of equitable access to sufficient good quality water for people, productivity and the environment is said to be a necessary condition for ending poverty and hunger, and achieving other ambitious goals being proposed for the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.

Nigeria’s poor WASH sector: The reality

A 2018 national survey found that 62 million Nigerians depend on unimproved water sources or spend more than 30 minutes travelling to fetch water. Another survey on WASH NORM shows that only about 18 million Nigerians, which represent less than 10 percent of the population, have access to pipe-borne water.

Key findings from the survey revealed that up to 171 million people are off the SDG target for access to safely managed drinking water supply services with only 14 percent of the population having access to safely managed drinking water supply services.

In Enugu State, data from WaterAid shows that at least 28 per cent of the population do not have access to basic water supply service and have to depend on contaminated streams and rivers, unlined and unprotected wells to meet their needs.

According to UNICEF, over 70,000 children under five, die annually in Nigeria from diarrhoea due to unsafe water and poor sanitation conditions. Lack of decent WASH facilities is also linked to under-nutrition, stunting and poor educational attainment among young children.

State of emergency on WASH sector

In November 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari, declared a state of emergency on Nigeria’s WASH sector. With the declaration came the launch of the National Action Plan for the revitalization of the sector.

During the declaration, Buhari said that Nigeria had taken positive efforts in the WASH Sector towards improving the living standards of Nigerians both in the rural and urban areas, noting that access to adequate Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene are part of the indices for socio-economic development of any nation and thus cannot be ignored.

The overall goal of the plan is to ensure that all Nigerians have access to sustainable and safely managed WASH services by 2030 in compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for water (Goal 6.1) and sanitation (Goal 6.2).

Emergency declaration not enough

Although the Federal Government has since declared a state of emergency on WASH, the sector has not been given the priority attention it deserves. President Buhari had noted that the issues of water supply and sanitation is not given the right attention by various states judging from the high prevalence of waterborne diseases that are being reported in different parts of the country.

In Enugu State, the government declared a state of emergency on the WASH sector in late January, 2020. The governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, followed the declaration with the inauguration of an 18-member Inter-ministerial Committee on the Implementation of WASH Action Plan in the state.

The State had signed up to the national partnership for Expanded Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (PEWASH) strategy as required by states to access the Federal Governments support to deal with challenges in the WASH sector.

But for Nigeria to meet the WASH targets of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the World Bank said it must invest three times more than it currently does or at least allocate 1.7 percent of the current Gross Domestic Product to WASH.

A policy brief released by the Society for Water and Sanitation (NEWSAN) shows that there has been no significant increase in budgets for sanitation at either the Federal or State levels. It showed that the Federal Ministry of Environment had no budget allocation for sanitation between 2014 and 2016. While there was a budget line for sanitation in 2017, it was less than 0.5 per cent against a 1.0 percent commitment, with only 46 per cent of the amount budgeted being released.

Several WASH programmes, little results

Nigeria has several WASH development strategies to guide its progress to provide safe and accessible WASH services for all of its citizens. But all of these have been constrained by inefficient and ineffective service delivery, failing facilities and poor maintenance, according to a report by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

While more than 38 per cent of all improved water points and around 46 per cent of all water schemes in Nigeria are nonfunctional, nearly 30 percent of water points and water schemes appeared to fail in the first year of operation after construction, presumably because of poor build quality.

Specifically, the translation of policy principles into actionable plans and budgets has been weak, with some of these services including the 2000 National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Policy, the 2003 National Water Resources Management Police, the 2004 National Water and Sanitation Policy and the 2016–2030 Partnership for Expanded Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene, the USAID report added.

It should be noted that several donors including the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and the French Development Bank, have supported the Nigerian WASH sector over the years with over $638M (262,141,440,000).

Enugu State government not aware of the development

When the state government was contacted for a reaction, the Special Adviser to the governor on Water Resources, Dubem Onyia, said he was not aware that some of the projects had stopped working. He, however, said that the government would complain to the organizations that brought the projects to see if anything can be done about it.

“If they don’t do anything, we will look at it because we are the beneficiaries. The organizations only came to invest,” he said.

Meeting international standards

According to the World Health Organization, WHO, between 50 and 100 litres of safe water per person per day are needed to ensure that most basic needs are met and few health concerns arise.

The World Population Review estimates that the population for Enugu in 2021 stands at 795,271. This means that the state government, by international standards, is expected to at least provide fourteen billion, five hundred and thirteen million, six hundred and ninety five thousand, seven hundred and fifty litres of water (14,513,695,750) yearly for the entire population.

It is expected to provide eighteen thousand, two hundred and fifty litres of water (18,250) yearly for every citizen. This is going by the per capita water demand and consumption rate.

Reporter denied access to contract details as Coca Cola, SSDO fail to react

In order to get the full details of the N300 million WASH projects, including the cost of each project and the contractors, this reporter sent an email to the Enugu State programme lead for WaterAid, Terkimbi Tom, on March 1. He replied three days later, directing the reporter to the Coordinator, Small Town Unit of the Enugu State Ministry of Water Resources, Christopher Ogbu.

This reporter subsequently sent a Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, request to the Permanent Secretary, Enugu State Ministry of Water Resources through the coordinator of the Small Town Unit on March 8. But, there has been no response to the request for over a month.

When the reporter contacted Ogbu to find out why there was a delay in the release of the information requested, the reporter was directed to the legal representative of the ministry, Ginika Iloma, who was supposed to review the request before giving approval.

On March 22, this reporter sent a reminder to the ministry and called Iloma, who in turn said she would have to inform the Attorney-General of the State to give his approval for the details requested to be given.

On April 20, six weeks after this reporter sent an FOI, the Ministry replied, stating that information on the water projects are not in the Ministry.
The ministry said it only participated in the supervision of both the construction of new boreholes and rehabilitation of non-functioning boreholes through the Small Town Water Supply and Sanitation Unit of the Ministry.

This reporter also tried to reach out to the South Saharan Development Organization (SSDO), and the Coca-Cola Foundation via email on April 1 April 3 respectively. But neither of them responded.
