Ezeama400:What is the source of Statisense for this data? Multiple research sources put SW at the top and this is more credible because of a lot of factors which Lagos is one of them. Multiple research sites and AI overview: The South-West region generally has the highest access to safely managed water in Nigeria, with Lagos state often cited as having the best access, while the North-East has the lowest; overall, access increases from North to South, but disparities exist between urban/rural and wealth levels, with wealthier households and urban areas always faring better. Key Findings: North-South Divide: Access to safe water rises from North to South. South-West Leads: The South-West has the highest percentage of safely managed water access. Lagos is Highest: Lagos State shows the highest water access (around 96% for basic access in one report) compared to the lowest (Sokoto). Urban vs. Rural: Urban areas consistently have significantly better access than rural areas. Wealth Disparity: The richest quintile has much higher access to water (over double) than the poorest. Regional Examples (Lowest to Highest): North-East: Lowest access (around 2% for safely managed water in 2019). North-Central: High reliance on boreholes, but overall access varies. South-East & South-South: Better infrastructure and access than the North. South-West: Highest levels of access, with Lagos being a standout state. In essence, while the South generally leads, significant gaps remain, especially for rural and poorer communities, even within high-access regions. |

Amotolongbo:Auntie tell yourself the truth. Is there any functioning and centralized government-powered water system anywhere in the Southwest. Is there any functioning water board that supplies water to individual homes in any state in Nigeria? Like Wike will always say ... If it didn't dey, it didn't dey. The reason why everybody has left you people behind is because you refuse to accept your reality and work to improve on what you have on ground. You can't be waiting for an irresponsible corrupt government to come and do everything for you |

[b]The South-West region generally has the highest access to safely managed water in Nigeria, with Lagos state often cited as having the best access, while the North-East has the lowest; overall, access increases from North to South, but disparities exist between urban/rural and wealth levels, with wealthier households and urban areas always faring better.

epainos:Ogun State governors need to step up their game, having industries and yet not fully utilizing the potentials they have. Also I doubt any havoc or destruction would happen to the family or business... Dangote seems like a smart man who would put things in place to ensure checks and balances in his business. Besides from my research(I stand to be corrected ) Abiola had many wives, and has about 12 kids or so... While Dangote isn't a polygamist and has like only 3... And they're females... So yeah, I doubt there'll be any "havoc". |

Now I know that the original poster is a propagandist and this is why Ivdetest this forum. Just do a basic search on the internet and you will find the truth. South west is the best for water supply. Stop your fake statistics propaganda.

Antichristian2:So Lagos State government doesn't generate enough revenue to provide portable water for the state? Or Ogun State with it's high IGR cannot provide enough water for Ogun State? Abi Ondo State does not collect 13% derivative? Una mumu too much |

There are more waterworks in SW. That’s why. Sone states in SW still pump water, once in a while. Even if they don’t pump, people go to those strategic reservoirs to fetch water. I have followed my brother out on several occasions to do this in Osun. |

There is no government water here in Ilesa. It stopped working a long time ago but every house has a well or borehole and pipe borne water. We don't have any water problem in Ilesa |

Theama:The question is: Can his children manage the wealth? Will their boyfriends and husbands not cause wahala? After their generation, what next? So, you think Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Branson (UK), who pledged to give away almost everything dont know what they are doing? Bill Gates is leaving behind only 1% of his wealth by the time he is 80 or 85. I can't remember the date he has set. And he will still have $1b which he intends to give his kids. Do you still know how much that is? The best inheritance Dangote can give is what he has given the girls. Let him just leave some properties for them. Maybe two houses each, some stocks, investments, and cash. He has already set up a family office in Dubai. Yes. I know about it. There is a course now called "Wealth Management" which involves setting up family offices for rich people. That offices handle most things. Jeff Bezos has it too. And the one for Zerkaburg and his wife (Facebook) is doing so well...I think his wife handles it. But still...if I was Dangote, I would give away 70% - 99% away. Wealth works well while he is alive cos he is thebone who understands more than anyone the secret behind it. |

Ezeama400:Why boreholes in the 21st century for the giant of Africa? Why are our governors failing to employ engineers, technicians, administrators, billing clerks etc to make sure that every home has access to pipe borne water? What do you think the 150 governors of the last quarter century are doing to the trillions budgets yearly ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5v-F81hNTs |

Lagos State Water Corporation may not supply water continuously but does on a continual basis to some areas. For example Surulere has water supply, so people pump into tanks when available. Some estates have their own water. The Water Treatment plant in Aja supply some estates but I think it has been down for some time. What I can't understand is when boreholes become an achievement. Boreholes close to the toilets within the same house may not be healthy unless treated. |

Ezeama400:Nonsense, what do they mean by "have access to borehole/hand pumped water"? If my neighbour has a borehole and allows the street to use it for free, is the whole street counted as having access? How exactly is this measured? As an example, in my younger years, a relative lived in the next street and I could access their taps for free at any time while others paid. Who is counted as having access or not having access by statisense in this scenario? Clearly another silly Obidient South East is better than South West BS that has been caused by President Tinubu defeating Peter Obí at the polls. I notice the usual suspects are already here gloating over an obvious falsehood, who do una dis, Obidients? |
