My brother, nice observations there.
However, I needed to point out that, most of Igboland, particularly Anambra was one of the very Last to start selling a pure water sachet @ #10 in this country.
I'm quite certain that as at 2014 when i last observed, that water sachet was still sold at #5 in Onitcha Anambra state.

Niger Delta states were possibly the first to start that, as cost of living is generally higher in most of those South-South states.

IMO state also has the highest cost of living in Igboland. This is perhaps due to their proximity to Major/very expensive Niger Delta Cities like PH.
So, i believe IMO was the first to switch to #10 per sachet of water.

But, even at that, as of 2009 when i was living in IMO state capital, Owerri, water was still #5 per sachet.

So, your assertion on the Water Sachet Price is hugely misinforming.

Maybe there was a water shortage in your area at the time. That's the only explanation that could make sense here.

As for market women charging u excess; well, generally they will give you a price, and hope that you price it down. That's how most traders operate.
So, when you unfortunately don't know how to price, then, even if some of them may feel guilt,, they may not urge you to price it down some more. That's business for you.

However, for most market women, if they clearly know you are a corper, they will gladly give you the best prices. Some even will give you wonderful discounts and freebies... Of course, depending on how nice the market is treating them on that day.

One thing i clearly noticed in Anambra in particular is this; they so much love and support Corpers...except you as a corper is troublesome to them.

Mostly in the villages, Some people, after you've rented a room in their house as a Corper, they will still be dashing u food stuffs from there farms, if they feel you are good or peaceful.

Most corpers whom I personally know, who serverd in Anambra, always gush about the place and the people.


Even in some communities where boys misbehave, most a times if they want to harass you, and then found out that u are a Corper, you may hear something like, "leave am biko, na Coper O" or "leave am, na my brother teacher for school"

The last thing vast majority of Anambra people will intentionally want to do, is to sour the experience of a peaceful visitor. NEVER.

Finally, nowhere is perfect, and so Igbo people have there own issues, and some troublesome people, that i agree.

Thank you.

I did my NYSC at Onitsha - Oweri Expressway. Anambra girls are the most beautiful in the country. Fulani girls are very beautiful, Kanuri and Shua Arabs girls are very beautiful. Port Harcourt girls are very beautiful. Benue girls are very beautiful. Ondo and Ekiti girls are quite beautiful. But Anambra girls are the most beautiful. I almost stayed back at Anambra fter my NYSC because of Anambra Agnels, these girls are super beautiful.

However, Igbos generally love money too much. As at 2002 when I was doing NYSC, sachet water was 10 Naira per sachet while it was still 5Naira in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. The market women also charged me excess for anything I was buying.

The problem isn't the use of the title "General"
BUT
the use of "Regime" instead of Government.

Those crying evidence of freedom of speech had better think!
