Skitmaker Dan Bello constructs solar-powered borehole in Katsina, challenges Buhari, Sirika

Popular social media skit maker, Bello Habib Galadanci, widely known as Dan Bello, has constructed a solar-powered borehole in two rural communities in Katsina State, at a cost of N4.3 million.

The borehole aims to alleviate the suffering of villagers who have lacked access to clean water for decades.

The communities, Yar Lami Santar Riga and Yar Lami Santar Lema, are located just a few kilometres from the hometowns of former President Muhammadu Buhari and Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika. The villages are approximately 52 kilometres from Daura, Buhari’s birthplace, and 23 kilometres from Shargalle, Sirika’s hometown.

Before Dan Bello’s intervention, the residents of these villages had to walk over an hour to collect dirty, murky water from a stagnant pond, which they used for drinking and other domestic purposes.

The severe lack of clean water meant that children in the villages could not attend school, as there were no healthcare centres, access roads, or basic amenities. The villagers had to travel to a nearby community, Dan Doma, to receive medical care, which serves 16 other neighbouring communities.

Despite the difficulties, Dan Bello remained determined to bring water to the villages. Initial attempts to drill for water faced setbacks when the drilling machine failed to penetrate the groundwater after reaching a depth of 65 meters.

The villagers, accustomed to empty promises from political leaders, were disheartened by the development. They had grown sceptical of leaders who had, in the past, deceived them with hopeful words that ultimately amounted to nothing.

However, Dan Bello refused to give up on his promise to the villagers. “We won’t abandon these people the way their leaders have,” he said.

“We won’t give them hollow promises or play with their emotions. We won’t let them dream of something they’ve wanted all their lives, only to later tell them that we’ve tried and that’s the best we can do.”

Determined to find a solution, Dan Bello brought in a new surveyor to help locate the groundwater. Though the results were not as promising as the first attempt, the drilling company was reluctant to return, offering excuses for their delays.

Despite these setbacks, Bello and his team, including assistants Ibrahim and Mukhtar, persisted, staying overnight to ensure the company would resume work.

“Finally, the truck drilled again, and as we waited with hope, something magical happened,” Dan Bello recalled.

On February 1st, Dan Bello commissioned the borehole, which now provides the villagers with pure and clean drinking water. The success of the project has been met with immense joy from the residents, who had long been deprived of such a vital resource.

Dan Bello explained that the funds for the project came from the proceeds of monetising his social media skits, a source of income that he used to execute the project.

He expressed gratitude to his social media fans for their support, saying, “This project would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of my fans.”

Dan Bello emphasised the importance of showing true leadership. “We promised ourselves to finish every single naira we have to get these people water. If we run out of resources, we’ll save and return to try again. Unlike the typical Nigerian leaders, these villagers are human beings like us,” he said.

May God replenish him and bless him marvellously for his generosity and commitment to the people.

I don't like buhari, but we can't blame him for this, the state has a governor and local government chairman, they all receive allowances and allocations but they fail to do their jobs.... No be everything we go dey blame president for

Dan bello ma nigga

Buhari remains the worst calamity to have ever befallen Nigeria in recent years.

A president that no one officially recognizes for anything useful after he has left office.

This was the lowest we have ever fallen in the electing of a president.

Tufiakwa!

Where is that Darling Daddy crooner self?

It is a big shame to our leaders!... It is a bigger shame to the citizens cos these same people will hail Sai Baba if he decides to drive through their community on his way to wherever it is he goes to.

And during election, they won't give their votes to a leader who promises to improve their situation, theyll vote based on tribal or religious sentiments or who gives them rice and cash.

We deserve the leaders we have

LOL....

He shouldn't drag President Buhari and the ex minister. His angst should be directed at Council Leaders and Governors of the state. It does not become the responsibility of a man to install boreholes in his immediate or remote community because he's president. Whatever he does can only be out of benovelence or applying pressure or attracting honorary community-based projects.
Had Buhari installed 500 boreholes and ensured water security throughout Daura LGA, even from personal funds, una for no allow am finish first term and that's our reality.
It's either most Nigerians love magic or they're completely mad abi how do you explain to people that when they play their own part nobody will come to power just for the sake of it talk more of deplorable standards of life. Whoever thinks government can and should do everything to develop a nation is mad. Unfortunately, these mad people vote in magicians to fulfill their desires then get bored of the tricks and vote in another magician.

Btw, if 10 people can do this kind of project in Katsina alone without making noise, we'll know when criminals and magicians want to steal funds in the name of development projects because the people actually know how much was spent independently to build and manage them plus everyone can point to real life amenities and not paper achievements.

So Bubu no fit construct boreholes for e state..... Na wa

Pepper them

Omoawoke:

Misplaced expectations! Please what's the state or local government job?

Buhari that is supposed to be locked away is still roaming about and even tweeting about Nigeria.
