I went to buy a bag of water today and my customer told me that he doesn't have because the sachet water manufacturers in Lagos are on strike due to the new government's policy that every manufacturer should pay #10 on top of each bag sold.

Err, please Lagosians, who can shed more light on this because the government shouldn't deny us water ontop this recession era naa in their bid to increase IGR.

And the heat for Lagos nowadays tie wrapper so you cant do without sachet water.

I heard something like 10k tax on boreholes. I don't really understand. But a bag of sachet water that used to be N100 is now N150.

Well, in my area a bag is #140.

But why would the manufacturers want to punish we the masses instead of going after the government via protest or lawsuit?
