"A resident of the ETF Hall, who gave his name simply as Olayinka, said some buoyant students had been buying sachet water to cook and bathe, while the rest were fetching water from the stream.

He stated, “But for some of us that cannot afford sachet water for such purposes, we have been going to the stream near our hostel to get water."



They can't afford sachet water....how do these ones even feed.

okpo, a bag of water is now 200

I can remember some animals from certain region of the country making mockery of Enugu residents when water scarcity hit the city few weeks ago.

What do these people have to say now, well I don’t expect to hear anything sensible from them cos animals cannot talk.

This happens often as I can never forget it happened while I was in school as well.

Going to get water for oneself seeing guys putting on boxers alone, some with singlets though, ladies with wrappers alone, some with nighties, underwear etc. Between 3 AM to 6 AM, fetching from Oduduwa Hall Toilets, Streams, Banking Area's water leakage and so on...

Nigeria's education system is tending towards being a joke jor...�

Ok, I was at the OAU Dam yesterday which is responsible for the university community water management. Simply, there's no water cause they do not have alum for purification. They brought 60 bags of alum for them that day but it could last for 2 days or so.

The problem is definitely management problem. Someone didn't release money for these procurement or someone failed to deliver.

Corruption is the cause of this problem.

Money budgeted for the provision of water is looted.

Well what I think he meant there was not him and his type not being able to afford the 10 naira, 20 naira sachet water to drink when they need it..

It's just that, buying at least 2 bags to cook, bath and wash some other things daily is not it..

And some people were busy lambasting the OP that posted the pictures of University of Cape Coast, saying that OAU have more structures than UCC.

My people, it is not about gigantic ugly looking structures. It is about decency, civility, cleanliness and access to basic things like portable pipe born water, electricity, pedestrian walkways,, functional laundry rooms for students and decent hostels. All these are lacking in a typical Nigerian University.

I enjoyed all these basic amenities as a student in UK and felt a sense of fulfillment for schooling there. I sympathize with Nigerian students as schooling here is very hellish and I don't intend to send any of my kids to public universities in Nigeria.

Environment matters in education, especially higher education and studying in a conducive and civil environment and surrounding is very important.

Typical IPOB pig, you are the animal here.

Same way you Ipigs still mock southwest over Fulani and Benin IDP issues, so why are you crying over Enugu own? Even if we mock you over the recent fulani killings in Ebonyi it is fair


Shameless hypocrites always acting like victims, are you blind and don't see your brothers still ranting "Benin IDP" around even after several of you Pigs were slaughtered like rams in Ebonyi by Fulani?

All Universities in Nigeria seem to have this problem. APC have broken yet another promise they made, they promised to dig at least 65 wells in all universities across the country, I was there and even saw osinbade touching the ground with his index finger and placing it on his tongue, swearing with Sango. Buhari should personally go and dig a well in that school, his doctors have confirmed him to be okay, so he doesn't have excuse. Maybe Unknown gunmen stole the water. Lai Mohammed: "there's water scarcity because some Nigerians have not linked their NIN, the FG have been digging several wells but only those with NIN can see the wells. The past administration and Endsars protesters drank a lot of water, thereby leading to water scarcity. When our refinery is done, we will be refining and exporting water.

Presidency: "Buhari expresses shock, commiserates with the students. Vows to deal with students wasting water. Tasks officials on what to do next"
Bro ur last two paragraph got me rolling on the floor

We are all animals, but it’s sad you chose to be a pig.
