Even after building LAGOS..Tinubu no try for water

Are you insane?

I'm challenging you to pls post a video of water corporation water supply in your entire state?

To hell with satisen whatever that is a section of Sahhara shit Desert.

Public Wells are build by individual or govt not by water corporation so you can't call public well a corporation water supply.

Post the video of water tap running and it's water corporation that is supplying the water like in Togo or Benin Republic etc? I'm waiting...

This is one area South West need to do better.

Lack of drinking water was one of the reasons I left ibadan to the south South region

I think I can understand why this may be so.

In the South East, most households drill their own borehole due to little to no government provision for water distribution or a failed water board system. Also, you don't need to go very deep in the SE to get clean water, except in Enugu state where the terrain makes it difficult.

While in the SW especially Lagos, the cost of industrial drilling to enable clean water and the likely treatment setup that must follow due to bad unclean water levels will discourage anyone from drilling.

I never see any SW city where tap is running from the board, apart from individual borehole there are some places in SE you use it from the board taps

Why not compare Ekiti with Anambra. Lagos that was built by all Nigerians. I know you can't even afford a decent apartment in Lagos

Lagos have nothing to lose as the most populated African city....

You can never count Anambra amongst recognized African cities....

Obi who tried to give Anambra a facelift ended up being stingy with it's revenues.... stored them in the bank while walking about raising his shoulders....and bragging about it while refusing to pay salaries and conducting LGA elections.

Onitsha and Lagos are the only 2 cities in Nigeria that made the list of the most built up urban areas in the world, so you are wrong to say Anambra is not recognized

Potable drinking water is what they ask.

Even Lagos state no get potable drinking water. Lekki one of the most “decorated” areas of Lagos state don’t have clean water. They buy water from water tanks. Let’s not even delve into Ajegunle, Makoko, Oyingbo and some areas.

Why do you think water trucks (meruwa) are everywhere in Lagos?

Have you been to the south east? The answer is no. I have lived in both SS/SE. Drilling a borehole in the east is a huge project. It is very expensive because the water table is far below the earth crust. However, in most regions the SS, just digging some few feets down and you will come across water. Sometimes, digging a soak away/ septic tank might be a problem as water will be gushing out from the ground. I had a funny experience will trying to erect a clothe line. I was using a cutlass to make a small hole where the poles will go in and surprisingly, water started seeping out! That's why I find it shocking that the SE can be up there too with the kind of terrain they have. Kudos to them

Lagos doesn't start and end in Ajah, Ikoyi or VGC! In my own house, I have my borehole with clean water, and I've been using it for 15 years; I drink and do everything with it.

Believe this and you will believe that hens have teeth.

While specific regional data varies and overall access is low, Lagos State consistently shows the highest access to basic water services (around 96%), followed by Jigawa and Imo, with Kwara also noted for high piped access, indicating the Southwest and parts of the North (like Jigawa) have better infrastructure, though functionality and consistent supply remain major challenges nationwide.
Key Findings:
Lagos State: Leads with about 96% access to basic water supply, though much of this is via public taps or motorized systems, not always direct pipe-borne, as noted in allAfrica.com.
Jigawa & Imo States: Follow Lagos with high access (92% and 90% respectively) in a 2020 survey, showing strong performance in the North-West and South-East, notes allAfrica.com.
Kwara State: Showed high piped water access (around 59.5%) in one study, placing it high on the piped water index, according to SciSpace.
South-West (General): Areas in the Southwest, like Oyo State's Ibadan North (97.5% access in a study), show high levels of service, though often through varied systems, reports ScienceDirect.com.

Actually the matter is really not that hard to explain.

First of all the figures are based on ratios. In this case available boreholes per thousand households.

They say half of the population of Lagos alone are Ibos. If you took those Ibo households and transplanted them Back in the SE, you will get much different figures in both the SW and the SE.

If 2 households share 1 borehole in the SE and I household migrates to SW. the figure in the SE goes from 2 households per borehole to 1. Whereas if a single family compound in Lagos previously had 1 Borehole and is demolished to build a dwelling with 6 flats, it’s still only 1 borehole but now shared by 6 households and so the Lagos figure will go from 1 per borehole to 6 households per borehole.
