Big fat on Lagos being number one, go to Lagos highland and see dirty water coming out of pumping machine, I bath with pure water when there's no rain

I know Abia state will not be there. A state where they deliberately dig their boreholes close to septic pits

mrkings84:
Nothing concern me cos me na pure water I dey drink

Is that the best way to drink water in this 21st century? Have you thought of the environmental impact of your choice

Will your future generations also drink pure water?

What do you have local, state and federal government officials for, and why do you pay them so much money in taxes, fees, levies etc, when they are not employing workers to make ordinary water available for everyone

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

Does Osun state have pipe borne water to 94% of buildings, as suggested in this statistic

Yes bro..

Osun has a functional Tap water. Most houses don’t bother to do borehole cuz there is tap water.

Ablesam171:
This can't be correct because if it is, Lagos wouldn't be number one.
In most parts of Lagos, when digging borehole, you don't need to dig too deep to get water but to see drinking water, it's almost impossible. You'll always need treatment especially on the island even on the mainland, to get drinking water for some area like Apapa na war, you'll also need to be treating the water.
This statistic is definitely wrong in my opinion.

Nigerians are very poor in comprehension. The statistics says clean drinking water. That means from various sources such as boreholes, bottle water, pure water etc. I hope you understand why Lagos will be no1

For real?

And Abia state government is allowing that?

Did that report exclude pure water?

Mrvitalis said they have hdi but statistics shows they don’t even have access to clean drinking water. Which kain hdi be that? 419 hdi?

Are you sure that Abia people didn’t get the idea from Lagos state, which claims to be the state of excellence

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Has this always been the case, or is it a recent phenomenon that Adeleke has revived the water supply system?

LegendHero:
Ebonyi is the second worst state in the south in the statistics.

Lagos is a city. Even for borehole where the water is somehow, they will still treat it one way or the other because the people living there have the finances. At worst they use pure water for drinking.

You cannot compare that to a village where people drink water from the river.

Ne like say Una no sabi comprehend topic. Basic drinking water. Are you saying Lagos people no get access to basic drinking water?

Borehole that is close to a toilet is not good for drinking water. I hope you are aware of that?

Yes, it has always been like that..

I don’t know if this will make sense to you or not, but me personally, I always feel they’re lucky with water cuz of their water goddess. You know it’s a state that worships water, the popular Osun/osogbo festival, hence why they have water blessings… Just my personal thinking tho..

Their water is so clean and pure..

SmartPolician:
This data is misleading. I'm sure the person who put it together has never been to Lagos, a state where getting clean water through boreholes is extremely hard. It's even shocking that Lagos is the first.

That's how myopic you are and shallow minded. Some of you have never smelt Lagos before, all you know about Lagos is what you see online. And what you see online is majorly Lekki Ajah, and you use that city turn slum by the visitors to judge the entirety of Lagos. I am a Lagosian, from the Southwestern part of the State. I have lived in the Northeast part of Lagos; I also used to visit my in-laws in the North part of Lagos. I am sure this information is alien to you. That said, where i come from (southwest of Lagos), all i need to do to get access to clean water is dig 2-3 meters, boom, i have access to drinking water. In fact, in the core western part of my LGA, in my village, we only need to dig about 2-3 feet and the water is as clean and pure as anything. The sand there is pure white sand, and you can even lay on it without getting a stain. The sand is similar to the beach sand, but it is pure white and it is clean because that region of Lagos is not overpopulated....and you do not have pollutions from moving cars in close proximity.
No, before Lagos became overpopulated, this was synonymous to most part of Lagos, dredging and reclamation done in especially Ajah, Lekki destroyed that area. Most parts of Lagos use to utilize wells of about 4-5m deep for source of water. In those years, 80s to early 90s, wells were padlocked to preserve the cleanness of the water. Lagos is largely below sea level ad has about 75% of water to land ratio, and that is understandable. Though, Ogun State is in close proximity to Lagos, but most part is rocky, clayey, and hilly. As such, people dig over 15m-60m to get water in most part before technology brought the boring machine. The water also largely is sweet and clean -Drinking water from clay soil is considered beneficial for hydration and health. The water is naturally cooled, which can be especially refreshing during hot weather. The minerals present in the clay can enhance the taste and provide various health benefits.
Ogun state has one of the highest percentages of households with access to safe drinking water. The state benefitted from the now-completed European Union water projects in Nigeria which constructed boreholes, micro water schemes, and treatment plants in Ogun. The state also has codified standards for water quality monitoring by relevant agencies. About 75% of the population in Ogun now uses improved drinking water sources.

I am sure you aren't aware that Lagos water is tested from time to time by the water board. tell which other States in Nigeria has functioning agencies? Water quality is regularly tested by agencies like the Lagos Water Corporation to ensure it meets World Health Organization guidelines for drinking water quality. Over 85% of households in Lagos now have access to potable water. This is according to WHO.

River State have improved a lot. Rivers State has abundant water resources from the many rivers, including the state’s namesake. In Port Harcourt, the state capital, and other major cities, tap water is treated at modern water treatment plants and is safe for drinking. The state also has a rural water program working to provide potable water to rural communities.

Conclusion
Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Ogun, Enugu, and Kaduna states have the highest percentages of people that have access to clean drinking water in Nigeria as of today. The other states covered have also made commendable progress in improving the availability of and access to potable water for their citizens.

Let me guess. You’re from Ebonyi?

Yes. Im from Ebonyi. Ebonyi has potable drinking water more than Lagos Island and a vast majority of Lagos.

Lagos Island water can't even be used to wash a floor messed up with dirt.

Enugu no go fit join this chat.
A state that is suffering from success.

Data does not care about your emotions

Truth be told Ebonyi state is disgracing not just south East but the entire Southern Nigeria. Always dragging poverty and underdevelopment with core Northern Nigeria.
They should sit up and stop this wailing of being discriminated by Anambra people every time

So far Lagos dey this list it is fake. Lagos wey I go I no fit bathe for hotel. because the water dey smell.

This statistics lied, Lagos shouldn't be in this list, Lagos has the most dirtiest and contaminated water in Nigeria, no access to clean water. Some landlords and landladies in Lagos will just dig 5 to 10fts once they get water, they don't care again how clean the water is, all they know is that they have gotten water. Backyard untreated sachet water everywhere. If you are living in Lagos you knows the truth

STATES WITH THE HIGHEST ACCESS TO CLEAN DRINKING WATER IN NIGERIA


source

It is now clear to me that these people do not do proper work and research before publishing this their trashy statistic

Ogurube:
How is Lagos on the list? Places like Lagos Island, Eti Osa, Ajeromi Ifelodun (Ajegunle), etc., don’t have potable water, given the brackish ground water and contaminated water ways. The water isn’t safe enough for human consumption, cooking, and hygiene, having all manner of pathogens and contaminants.

Lagos state shouldn't be on that list at all

Let me guess. You’re from Ebonyi?

No b only ebonyi na Zimbabwe..

Did i just see lagos as No.1? With that their lipton tea water in Lekki??

Osun should be number one. That stat isn't right.

This one na under bridge statistics abeg😂😂😂

Atleast we know that the entire Island still struggles with clean water, infact na buy Dem dey always buy water to bath sef, not to talk of drink

So how is Lagos 98% and some other ones I have seen on that list

Major average communities still struggle to get water even in the FCT

LegendHero:
SW states in the top 12. That’s good.

Below are the states with the lowest access.

It's no longer fake statistics?

haffaze777:
Oya let's call it fake statics

Water provided by government or individuals?
Statistic of states provision of water supply to their citizens is far better and reasonable than this one.

Funny!!!
Go to Ajeromi Ifeludun LGA and tell them they've access to drinking water and see what they'll do to you.
Water cooperation was operational in that LGA in the 90s what happened now?
Most residents of that area don't have access to drinking water. 25 liters of water goes for ₦300 and you call it access to water? Dey play.
