Omo u no get sense well I no blame you how old are you then in 2015 when Obasanjo one of the founding members of PDP tore his membership card despite Goodluck went to beg him in Abeokuta instead he ask people to vote for APC now you’re here telling us Obasanjo ask us to vote Peter OBi your problem is beyond tribal issue all I see is that you’re so daft and suffering low IQ. Nigeria problem is beyond Peter OBi our problem is the system of government we are practicing which is Democracy. America that invented Democracy doesn’t practice it the way we are practicing it here but some of the elements we retained it and choose another way. A typical example if you follow the untied state system of government very well you will see that 2 party dominated Democrat and republican two different ideologies same thing here in Nigeria but our own ideology is tribal and power. Nigeria system of government play power too much every opportunity to use the power they make use of it. Look at the state governors look at the senators everyone play power to their advantage they don’t give a damn to any masses so now tell me how will OBi solve Nigeria problem

You have limited and shallow thinking ability and conceptualization of ideas and phenomena. It’s evident in your choice of words and construction of your thoughts.

There’s nothing wrong with democracy nor Presidential system of government. Everything is wrong, however, with the set of ijiots that have successively held power since 1999 at least; with the exception of men like Yaradua and Jonathan (to an extent).

Since you are claiming to be as old as Methuselah, were you not here when Yaradua was in power? Did you not since his nationalistic, patriotic and objective approach to the use of his powers as president? This much reflected in his appointments and policies. Jonathan continued in that same line (to an extent).

All this abuse of power which you are now lumping on the system of government, started with the tribalistic and bigotic Buhari and Tinubu has doubled down in same trajectory.

So, if democracy was not wrong under Obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan, why is it suddenly wrong since Buhari took power and now Tinubu?

How come you are not able to differentiate the fact that it’s the people involved that are the problem and not the system.

No matter the system of government you adopt, a tribalistic idiot like Tinubu and Buhari will still find a way to abuse it for their sectional and selfish gains.

Goldensword:


Enugu water scarcity will soon be a thing of the past, Peter MBA is doing something serious about it, those areas that have good pipes before like obiagu are having steady water running now, and the government have built water galleries almost in every street and corners of enugu metropolis, right now they're laying big underground pipes that will be supplying water to this water galleries.

Water Galleries in the 21st century?

So instead of working on how to take water into people’s homes, Mba is building Water Galleries where people will go to fetch water with their buckets 🪣 and gallons like we are in the 1980s?

Is that how it’s done in London and Paris where Mba takes his family to for vacation?

And you want us to extol him for that? Fia!

How many of it did he build and in how many locations?

I ask because if Obi puts together all the money he spent on all the boreholes he built, he would build 3 of this.

Again, your LG chairman could build a borehole with overhead tank because there’s light in Ketu. Is there light in interior villages of Sokoto?

I like the fact Peter Obi is giving you people headache and causing you sleepless night.

All these rofo rofo no really concern me.

My own na make una sha deliver the project.

I want to be able to drive from VI to Sangotedo through the Coastal road without facing Lekki-Epe Expressway traffic hassle.

I want to be able to drive from Lagos to the East on the Coastal road without having to go through Benin and others.

That’s what I want.

Expecting Tinubu and his gang of criminals to do a project without chopping inside is like expecting a lion not to eat the goat placed under its care; and that would be the height of foolery.

LegendHero:



Why did Obi not provide water for these guys below in the SE?

Let’s start from there.z

That’s where Tinubu comes in.

As Obi is doing boreholes in the north to get northern votes, tell Tinubu to do boreholes in East to get eastern votes.

Dem tie Tinubu hands?

Most idiotic statement ever. 8 out of 10 times when you this man talks infront of a microphone, he vomits trash. It is like saying, you deliberately serve people a plate of stone rice because you want others to be provoked and deliver clean rice to the masses. Worse of all, he was saying this in the palace of an emir. I wasn't informed of northerners write him a letter to come dig boreholes for them neither is he the first southerners to donate projects in the north. When we talk about how mediocre he was as Governor, some ignorant folks would start kicking themselves to the floor. He has confessed with his own mouth how shameful and disgraceful that he couldn't deliver an ordinary borehole.

What choice do you think a hungry man would make?

To eat stone rice and stay alive?

Or die hungry than eat stone rice?

That's why I campaigned for Asiwaju,I'm so happy with the statement of these faceless Northern group.
It means Asiwaju is working,he's hitting those parasitic element below the belt and they are seriously feeling the Pinch.
I daresay Atiku or even Peter Obi would never have dared to go against the Northern Establishment,but Asiwaju is taking the battle to their doormot as they say in Pidgin English.
I read Kwankwanso Reply to the issue of State Police and I was stunned,I know he was speaking for the Northern Establishment, thereafter the Governor of Kano state tried to also raise an opposition to the Issue of State Police but the ship had already sailed.
The battle for the Soul of Nigeria isn't for people like Atiku who are bonafide members of the parasitic Northern Elite who have benefited greatly by milking Nigeria Dry or an up start like Peter Obi who sincerely has genuine intentions but like President Jonathan will be hijacked by these Vultures called the Northern Establishment.
Asiwaju has taken a bulldozer to Aso Rock,and he's bringing down bit by bit,the fangs of these parasites on Nigeria.
The other Day,Mr Cardoso went for the jugular of the cash cow of the Northern Establishment in CBN,he shut down the Interventionist pipeline Buhari and Emefiele opened to give trillions of Naira to Northerns in the name of Agriculture intervention.
Asiwaju is shutting every pipe these people have used to suck Nigeria, I'm therefore not surprise by their crocodile tears.
God bless Nigeria.

Okay! They will remind you in 2027.

You saw where reference was made to Obi’s donations of boreholes in the north and how the spokesman reacted?

The point is that while you lots are on Nairaland arrogating yourselves the job of spokespersons for the north, the real northerners are noticing what is happening and are getting impressed.

Now your silly propaganda of Peter Obi hates the north will no longer stick.

See you in 2027!

Peter Obi has reacted to the criticisms of the quality/standard of the borehole he’s doing in the north by supporters of his opponents. This was made known by one of his close aides Ibrahim Abdulkarim on social media.

If the boreholes Peter Obi is doing are substandard and of poor quality, we challenge you and those you worship to do something better that will make his own look inferior.

Don’t just sit and criticize, put your money where your mouth is.

PO at the Palace said, he wants people to be angry with what he's doing and start doing better ones, big boreholes to make his look inferior. He said we have more than 10,000 people who are well to do, if each will do 10 boreholes, that's 100,000 boreholes in Ramadan alone. Wisdom.

Seunmsg LegendHero should we call Obi?

Instead they will cover their faces in shame and beg Obi to extend his borehole bonanza to their village, they would follow what they were told to do in their WhatsApp group.

Like someone said, how come the Ogun state that they claim has the IGR of Dubai and Switzerland put together can’t provide drinking water to their rural dwellers.

Now, if Dapo Dagboru couldn’t do it, why didn’t the urine dispenser that they worship do it.

None of them cared about those people but they dare not call them out.

Pathetic

I'm used to believe you are intelligent. Solar borehole has the least of maintenance cost. That's what I do. Obi Pandora is embarrassing himself with this useless project

You people talk a lot trash and lies trying to justify a lie.

If you are going to install Solar powered overhead tank borehole, you are going to need Sumo to pump the water.

We all know how some Sumo can break down sometimes.

What of the electricals in the powerhouse?

All these can break down and require repairs.

These are things that a manual borehole will never require.

How dare you sit here and claim that Solar Powered boreholes are the cheapest to maintain?

ryloy:
Obi labelled Hypocrite as This is happening in a state in the South East......

Tell Tinubu to go and donate boreholes to those communities.

As Obi is doing for the north, Tinubu should be doing for the East.

Fools!

When Obasanjo advised you fools to give your ticket to Peter Obi, did you listen to him?

You ignored his counsel then, why should he care to volunteer his counsel again?

Get lost you fools!

All these long grammar to defend rubbish? This is 2024 and solar powered boreholes are so easy to deliver. Your defense is absolute trash.

Peter Obi is nothing but a desperate politician seeking power at all cost. When you guys talk about weaponizing poverty, this is the real definition. Tokenization of water just for political gain is evil. No one should be building this nonsense in any community in Nigeria in 2024. It is total nonsense.

How many of the solar powered boreholes did Tinubu donate in the north or even Southwest?

He isnt pleasing his slave master

Okorocha was abused and insulted by you lots for doing the same thing obi is doing.

Double standard and pure hypocrisy.

Don’t talk trash. Who told you there’s scarcity of water in Abakaliki?

So because Cway is selling water in Lagos therefore there’s scarcity of water in Lagos?

Do you people even reread what you’ve written sometimes to see if it makes sense before posting it to the public?

Caveat emptor

Before I say anything further, I want to ask, how are boreholes built in the rural areas without electricity in the part of the world you come from?

One thing I’ve come to realize is that a lot of people who criticize Peter Obi do so, sometimes, out of pure malice or out of sheer ignorance or both.

Seeing what Peter Obi has been doing in the north where he has been providing boreholes to rural communities to give them access to clean water, his opponents, fearing he might start getting more popular in the north, have started sending their attack dogs and paid propagandists to try to denigrate the little efforts he is making.

What they have started doing now is to post pictures of Obi’s projects and ridicule it as small or substandard or whatever comes to their mind.

That’s how they’ve been criticizing the one he commissioned in Zaria. But the one that irked me is the attempt to also criticize the manual borehole Obi donated in Sokoto. And I want to ask, what is wrong with a manual borehole?

Is it that these guys are children of the rich who have never experienced life in the rural areas? Or are they being outrightly malicious and wicked?

I ask because those of who grew up in the village where there is no electricity know that overhead water tanks is luxury.

I call it luxury because if you build a borehole with overhead water tank where there is no electricity, you would have to provide such people with power generating set to enable them be pumping water from the borehole into the tank. Now, with provision of power generating set comes the expenses of providing gas for the generator.

Now, it is either the donor will be providing gas for the generator for life or until such a time that someone takes over the responsibility or the expenses falls back to the villagers.

Imagine the expenses of buying fuel for generator falls on villagers who are merely scraping through life, how long do you think they can sustain it? What if the generator breaks down? Who will pay for its repair?

The above headaches are what manual boreholes eliminate. Once they are set up, just go and push the handle and get water out. These boreholes take no extra expenses and are even more durable.

Now, this is what somebody is criticizing, and that’s why I’m asking, what is wrong with the borehole?

And show us how boreholes are constructed in your rural villages where there is no electricity.

You guys don’t have Shame , stop twisting facts. He’s simply politicking which is not a bad thing but OBIDIENTs make it seem like a crime if another person is doing it . BAT did same you called him Fulani slave , but right now Obi is doing it , you’re short of words.

Obi did poorly in the north which all of you knew but you just wanted to rubbish the system out of pains .
BAT has already crossed this bridge Obi is trying to attempt , northerners won’t wait for another 8 yrs , they’ll rather support BAT for 4 yrs which have a sure base in the west , what he did for PMB will make them support him .

Obi only stands a Chance if he’s going to be a deputy, if he do so he’ll loose some of his supporters. BAT is cursed to rule for 8yrs no offense only death can stop him . There’s nothing like rigging all political parties rigged to pad their votes. Accept the bitter pill or continue to wallow in delusion.

Core Northern votes was divided by Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso which reduced the power it would have had in the last election.

Obi won without the northern votes like Obasanjo did in 2003 and Jonathan did in 2011.

I don’t expect you to admit your urine dispenser rigged the election, like I said, what Obi is doing now is to make the next election unriggable for Tinubu.

LegendHero:
God bless Mallam Peter Obi, he did another great philanthropic intervention by donating another world class borehole to Udus Sokoto community.

Today, Mallam Peter Obi called on Muslims to pray to Allah to end insecurities in the North. This is a huge difference from Peter Obi of last year who was running around churches and it seems Tinubu has finally islamized Peter Obi.

We expect CNN to carry this head world class borehole water system that “self acclaimed messiah” Peter Gringory built.

God bless Nigeria!

First of all, you need to understand that this is a village without electricity.

So, if you build a borehole with overhead water tanks for them, you would have to provide a power source for pumping the water.

Now, if you provide a power source for pumping the water, you have imposed extra expenses on the community because they’d have to consistently tax themselves to get funds to purchase gas and power the generators that they use in pumping water.

That’s where these manual boreholes come in.

They do not require electricity to function and therefore you don’t need overhead tanks. You just get there and pump your water out. This reduces further expenses for the community and even lasts longer.

So, now, tell us what you think is wrong with the borehole.

And secondly, show us how boreholes are built in the villages without electricity in the part of Nigeria you come from.

Peter Obi’s recent efforts in trying to provide boreholes to some rural communities in the north that has never had access to clean water in decades has seen his opponents deploy their foot soldiers, both online and offline (maybe), to try to downplay the little efforts Obi is making towards bringing succor to this people.

Some have criticized the quality of the project while others have been digging out reports of scarcity of water in areas of southeast and querying why Obi is not extending same energy he is spending in the north towards the southeast water problem as well.

Now, about Enugu…. Anyone who’s not a child will remember that the news of water scarcity in Enugu has become a yearly reoccurring issue/problem which sometimes dominates trend tables on social media. What I’ve come to realize is that a lot of people do not know why there seems to be perennial water scarcity in Enugu which is I’ve decided to educate such people in this piece.

Historically, Enugu city was established as a coal mine settlement. People migrated from different parts of the east to settle in Enugu and work in the coal mine. Now, if there’s a coal mine in Enugu, it means that there’s coal deposits in Enugu. The implication of this is that the Enugu Metropolis is sitting on top of coal. Because of the coal beneath the soil, therefore, it is literally impossible to drill a borehole and get water in nearly all parts of the metropolis.

Even beyond the metropolis, areas like Ozalla in Kanu, Awgu, and even 9th Mile and Udi are not able to get water from drilling a borehole.

This is where the Ezeagu Water Scheme came in. Now, Ezeagu is more than 70 kilometers from Enugu city and has boundary with Anambra. So, because it’s far away from the area where there are coal deposits, it’s more possible to get water from drilling a borehole there. This was why the Eastern Regional Government of the time built a water project there and laid more than 70 kilometers of pipe from Ezeagu to Enugu metropolis and then channeled it to different homes.

The problem however, is that through the military regimes and since the return of democracy in 1999, successive governments left that water project to rot away and residents, over the years, resorted to providing water for themselves where they would to pay Water Tankers to bring water to their homes.

Another source of water is Wells. You are surprised that Well is a source water where borehole does not bring water, right? Well, it is so because Wells are shallower, they do not get to the coal deposits beneath the ground where the water disappears because Coal is not a compact rock. Now, during the dry season, most of these Wells dry up which heightens the problem of water scarcity for those who can’t afford to pay for the services of Water Tankers.

Another problem that the city has also faced as regards water scarcity is that because of government laxity, as the city has been expanding, there has been no provision of water pipes through the new roads that have been built since the days of regional governments. The implication of this is that even if you get water running into Enugu City from the Ezeagu Water Scheme, not every part of Enugu will have water since the pipes that will channel water to their areas has not been laid. So, they would have to fall back to the government and wait for them to make such provision before they can start getting water.

It’s becoming confusing, right? Well, that’s how intricate and complicated the Enugu Water situation is.

Now, what are the solutions?

The first solution is the revitalization of the Ezeagu Water Scheme to ensure it’s working at its optimum level and sending water to the metropolis through the over 70 kilometers distance of pipe. Peter Mbah, the current governor, promised to do that in 180 days of his assumption but that promise has been a mirage nearly one year later.

Secondly, government needs to embark on massive laying of pipes in the new areas that have developed since the last time that pipes were laid in the city. These laying of pipes will now help channel water to the homes not previously captured before.

Thirdly, government should embark on building another water scheme similar to the Ezeagu Water Scheme but at a place closer to the city. I think there’s water in some parts of Nkanu which would definitely be closer to the city than Ezeagu. What this will do is that it will now provide more than one options through which water is coming into the city and will now be channeled to the newly developed areas not captured in the old water scheme.

Now, as a Peter Obi critic, tell me where Obi should have come in here. Obi has never governed Enugu. Neither is laying of several kilometers of pipe to capture several streets of Enugu a thing that can be done by private individual. If he lays pipe through the streets, where is he going to get water to run through them into the homes? And sometimes, laying of these people can cause destruction of property that sometimes result to court cases which is why no private individual embarks on it because only government has the powers to destroy a property (when necessary) for the greater good of the greater number of people.

In a nutshell, the problem of water scarcity in Enugu will require multiple billions of Naira (or even dollars) to solve. It would also require government will power and dedication without which any attempt at solving the problem might be abandoned halfway. This is the reason the water problem seems to have defied solution through successive governments. That not even Sullivan Chime, despite his stellar performance in Enugu, could arrest the water problem.

So, next time, before you criticize Obi for abandoning Enugu in water scarcity while providing boreholes for the north, think again and know that you are being unreasonably and illogically harsh on him because while Enugu water problem is a problem that would require billions to solve, erecting a borehole anywhere in the north only requires you to drill the ground and you get the water running out which is easier and requires lesser funds.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

Na lie go wound you eventually. Enugu resident are drinking mud now because of lack of water. This is 2024 news.

So instead of diverting, answer the question.

Rest from misinformation. Because while you are here talking plenty, Obi is making inroads into the north.

Now, to the report you are using as reference….

First of all, you can’t drill a borehole in Enugu because water will never come out due to coal base of most of Enugu. That’s why there’s general water problem in Enugu metropolis.

Second, the report said people are turning to stream water due to high cost of water and not only because of unavailability. Is Peter Obi the governor of Enugu that will make water cheap for Ndi Enugu?

Then lastly, Peter Obi needs not do anything in Enugu to get the votes of Ndi Enugu because even he sleeps with somebody’s wife in Enugu, Enugu people will still vote for him. So why bother himself about a region he has in the bag.
