Shell fence at Artillery, along Aba-Port Harcourt express way has hundreds of Port Harcourt residents queuing to fetch potable drinking water provided by shell for residents.

This location is popular to Port Harcourt residents who prefer this water to CWay and other water brands in the market.

The water is allegedly provided by Shell Oil Company in Port Harcourt, and it is used by residents from far and near as drinking water.

See how hundreds of people are on queue for water ahead of total lockdown tomorrow. Many people on the line claim to have been here for 3hours now.

There is severe tension ahead of the proposed lockdown, especially as Gov Wike in his media chat on Rhythm 93.7fm this morning threatens that the lockdown is a war situation, and that residents should prepare.

hmm!

What has to be done has to be done.

We have no idea how Corona started but we are suffering for it the most. The effect on us is untold.

this wike lockdown is much of chestbeatin by wike

24 hours curfew is too harsh biko, na war?

The number of cases is small in Rivers state to warrant a total lock down like this.

I wonder what Wike would have done if he was the governor of Lagos or Kano State with high number of cases and casualties.

Very funny how people queue in a state like Rivers, RIVERS STATE for water.

RIVERS STATE
I no believe this.

Digging of boreholes is very cheap in any south south state.

Wike will just be making noise up n down, why should the people of Rivers state be suffering for water despite the huge allocation to the state every month?

Wike only know how to attack federal government with his voice like that of a lion suffering from Coronavirus!!!



I AM DONE TALKING

No be small. Everytime he claims that he sworn to protect lives...yet he dint bother the past 5 years to find solution to soot that has attacked his state.

Is there any state in Nigeria that can boast of efficient water supply?

This is one of the reasons why we can only have mere restriction of vehicular movement and not lockdown as seen in other countries.

People will still leave their premises to fetch water in another compound probably in another street.

Either cure or vaccine for this virus is the only thing that can save Nigerians.

The government and the governed should quit this grandstanding, their can't be a total lockdown as we lack the very basic needs to sustain it

Rivers people are not suffering for water. People prefer to drink shell water over their house borehole water. It is because they believe the shell water is well drilled

I don't just understand...... U mean all these jericans Re on queue for mere water??


Omo wike don cast aswear. May God help us.

Keep deceiving yourself

If this was Lagos, even though there are many igbos in Lagos, you guys will begin to jump for joy like you have made it in life.

PORT HARCOURT is a shithole jungle. So much oil wealth but look at how they are searching for water like almajiris. Kinematics oya nah. More are coming

It doesn't look good for the image of a bluechip like Shell having hundreds of people queue up in front of their offices or housing estates fetching water. They can easily pipe this water to the communities and save the people and themselves this embarrassment.

That's the overhyped shithole Rivers state for you

SO NO WATER TO WASH HANDS TO AVOID COVID19.

Rivers allocation is being shared out to cultists and kidnappers because that's the only job Rivers youths can do.

I don't care if you are Egun or Japanese, the problem is nation wide just as criminal activities. So why do your igbo brothers congratulate themselves when something like this is shown in Lagos or SW?
