Funny enough, every material required to produce this pure water can be found in excess quantity in the country. We have become a lazy bunch of people that would rather argue and talk for hours over an issue rather than getting down to act and solve the problem.

u made a very salient point bro. Lemme clarify u on some things.
Firstly the northerners have a simple life, which the religion helps 2enforce.
Then d core of d matter, things are not evenly distributed. There're more private firms in d south than d north. Majority of southerners are more enterprising than their northern counterparts. What %age of households in d north consume pure water compared to d south.
Hair barbing should not be costlier in d community of vultures. Structural situation of things in d country makes life tougher in d south, but its not true. I'm looking for a better way to put it clearer without writing long epistle, but d current is caused by structural inbalance n ideals not greed.
Lemme reiterate, anyday this country restructures to regional autonomy, south'll be better heaven than it is.

The hike is artificial and unfounded. Do the guys up north source theirs differently?
It echoes weakness in the governors of SE and SW. The laxity in governance, indifference and insensitivity to the welfare of those goverened.
Well, as the is nothing but exploitative, these companies forget folks existed and drank water prior to satchet water. The stats show that se and sw have always been taken advantage of anyway, before and with the hike. GREED!
If they refuse to sell like the north, no qualms. Boil your borehole water, drink when cool.
Boycott the IDIOTS and lets see who will buckle.

exactly. I already order a water dispenser. No more pure water for me.. I hate exploitation.

Thanks bro for your intelligent input, in as much as you raise some important point, I don't want to believe on hang glaring act of greed, winner takes all and huge profit at all cost of the shoulder of imbalance in the way th country is structure, remember the North is educationally backward but they are not as hardened heart like my brothers and sisters in the south, do you know that house rent in the north was one of the cheapest (though still cheap now compare to the south) but my brothers from the south are teaching these people how to increase it unnecessarily.

My brother I have a lot to write about but I am not in the mood to write for now.

We need re- orientation in the south, we claim to be Christians/ Muslims and claim to know more than this people, but our hearts is desperately wicked.

Bloody thieves. Bloody bloody thieves.

Questions to be answered, do the producers in the North get these imported rolls at the same increased price as their Southern counterparts? Do the importers in the North get the same exchange rate or suffer the same shortage of dollar? Do the producers in the North experience the same miserable power supply?

If your answers to all these questions is yes, how then are they still selling at N5, and some people are making as much as 300% profit. WTF!!!! That is freaking exploitation. No excuse.

Tap water ti take over!!!!

Cities are expensive to live in. This is an indicator of where serious economic activities are taking place. Housing tends to be expensive, food and others. It definitely affects everything including your operating profit. The only way to survive is to ensure the revenue makes sense. It has nothing to do with greed. That's my thought. New York is quite expensive compares to some states. California too is expensive. Too many other factors. How many people have u met migrating up north? Plus the book haram issue.

I disagree with you on the argument that nylon used for packaging sachet water is imported. In Asaba where i stay, i know of many companies that manufacture the nylon used in packaging sachet water. Besides, from your report, almost all the states in the north still sell at the normal price of N70 or N100 per bag and N5 or N10 per sachet. Does it therefore means that the Northern States don't incur the costs you just enumerated?

5 naira it is in Kano. Just like someone said earlier, the southerners (South south, South east and south west) are the cause of their own problem, we southerners living in the north do buy things very cheap, sometimes when you hear how much my brothers pay for transportation in the south, one will begin to wonder if we are from same country, just as I have always said, the North would've been the best place to live if not for crisis, most of the southerners hate themselves and the level of greed is beyond normal, we always want to make 1000% profit all the time whereas the average Hausa man is contented with what they make everyday and we always think we are wiser than them yet they are also in position of authority, they take live very simple.

We the southerners need to tell ourselves the truth, we dislike one another that's why it is easier for government to take advantage of us. I have lot to say on this but let me go back to work.

N:B Southerners include (Yoruba, Igbo, Binis and everyone after river Niger).
My name is Temi, I am just here to make common sense.

ask urself, we and wu ll buy @ #10 or more should d north decides to increase d price?

even @#5, can u compare d turnover of pure water in bauchi or ur Kano to lagos, or rivers?
even @#10, which in my area, it goes for 3 for #20..... pple still patronise it and also prefer plastic water.... do u know Wat d elasticity of demand will be should northern states dare increase it..... dis my be advance to u, but to me it is simple economics
