Beejayy20:

you should provide water for your stinky people wey no get water to bath or drink in Enugu first, before talking for another people.
useless cannibal

Just because you are a Yoruba Christian and they are Yoruba muslims you don't want me to help them.
A philanthropist like me don't care about your tribe or religion before I help.
As sophisticated humans we should learn how to love and accomodate people.
As the op said they dont wash their pant,I fell so bad just because of water.
I'm ready to donate 5 million naira to them atleast to get new pants and some clean water.
You too donate what ever you have,even if it's Amala and gbegiri.

Happy new year bro.

Multimillion Naira uncompleted water projects littered across the community


While the people of Asaa suffer daily searching for clean water, the community is littered with uncompleted water projects that could have alleviated their suffering if they were functional.

Bolarinwa Joseph, the secretary to the Adele Baale of the Asaa community, showed Dataphyte at least three uncompleted water projects across the community.

The 16-year old abandoned projects were said to have been sponsored by the United Nations’ United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in 2005 with a notion to provide water for the populace.

According to Bolarinnwa, one of the water projects was abandoned after the contractor handling it claimed the drilling machine encountered rock beneath the ground.
“They made many efforts to blast the rock. But it was impossible. That was how they left this project (pointing at the pipe) and the three others uncompleted.”.

“I myself, this is my third day without a bath. As I am standing here, I just took the cloth I am wearing from the hanger when I heard you are around to interview us. I should have washed this cloth but because of our inability to get water, I can not,” a distraught Bolarinwa said.

More communities where water is a gold


Asaa community is not the only one suffering from acute water scarcity in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, indeed, three more communities- Agbon-Ojodu, Ibeku, and Moro- are in that predicament.

In 2006, Job Olufemi Akintan, a lawmaker who represented Egbado North II at the Ogun State House of Assembly for eight years, nominated a water project which was commissioned by Gbenga Daniel, Governor of Ogun State at the time, on May 30, 2006.

Festus Oguntoshi, the Baale of Agbon-Ojodu, told Dataphyte that the project broke down days after it was commissioned and it never worked or served the community.

“It was the former government that did that for us. Not long after it was delivered, the borehole broke down,” he said.

On September 10, 2020, the Ogun State Government under Dapo Abiodun disclosed that it had released N78million as counterpart fund to rehabilitate and construct 51 water facilities in Ogun West Senatorial District.

Sola Ogunbo, the Programme Manager, Rural Water and Sanitation Agency (RUWATSAN), was quoted by local papers that out of the money, N30million was given out for the implementation of the Programme for Expanded Water Supply Sanitation and Hygiene and water scheme in 13 locations in Yewa North Local Government Area where Agbon-Ojodu, Ibeku, and Moro are located.
Checks by Dataphyte revealed that one of these water facilities is situated in Agbon Ojodu. But it was sited on the same location where the failed water project sponsored by the former lawmaker Akintan was located.
According to the description on the site, the project is for “rehabilitation/ upgrading of Hand Pump Borehole into Simple powered System”. But the rehabilitated water project did not last- it was pulled down by the first rain that fell in 2021, suggesting that the quality of the work done left much to be desired.

“Imagine how many lives this project would have impacted, but here we are today,” Festus Oguntoshi, the Baale, Agbon-Ojodu, told Dataphyte angrily.
Though the community informed the contractor of the havoc wreaked by the rainstorm, he never came back to repair the water project, the Baale lamented.
“The project there now useless. And we have nothing to drink or use.”

The only water source available to the community’s people is a commercial borehole provided by a popular personality in Agbon-Ojodu, known as ‘Oluyomi’.
Residents pay N20 to get a bucket of water from Oluyomi’s water points.

Iya Alate, as fondly called, the attendant in charge of the water told Dataphyte that “due to the uncompleted electrification of the community, we need to buy petrol ‘ every hour’ to power the generating plant to pump water”.

‘I just met the project but didn’t see the contract awardee’

Olaleye Jacob Adigun, the Baale of Ibeku community says he didn’t know who initiated a failed water project in his community. According to him, he was not in Ibeku when they started the project’,
But lying fallow directly opposite his home is the abandoned borehole project alleged to have been initiated in 2018 by Oduntan Atanda Rasak, also a lawmaker who represented Egbado North II in the state’s 8th assembly (2015-2019).

The Baale, who claimed he has never set his eyes on Oduntan said the contractor behind the project keeps assuring the community since 2018 of coming back to fix the project.

As of the time of filing this report, the situation remained the same while the community members, just like in Asaa, go far distances to get water from dug trenches. Oduntan was not immediately available for comments.
When contacted through his telephone, calls, and messages sent did not go through.
The Baale also showed this reporter four different locations of abandoned water projects facilitated by Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority, scattered across the community.

Hence, Abideen Olasupo, an MDG and SDG goals advocate, decried the worrisome situation and called for more government intervention in the communities.
“It is embarrassing to see that in Nigeria today we still have things like this that are happening,” Olasupo said.

“The governments need to wake up from their slumber, take the bull by the horn and look for partners and collaborators that could really help them in changing the side of things.”
Several calls placed to Kunle Otun, the special adviser to the governor of Ogun State on Special Duties (Water) between April 12 to 21 were not picked nor returned, while an email sent to his official email was not returned.

But, the narrative is changing in Moro


In all the four visited communities, only Moro has a running water project provided through the Zonal Intervention Fund (ZIP).
The ZIP project which was nominated by Tolu Odebiyi, the senator representing Ogun West senatorial district at the Nigerian Senate was executed under Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) 2020 project.

A.O Abodunrin, a pastor in a church in the community revealed to Dataphyte that it was some evangelists that came to the community in 2019 that helped out in reaching out to the senator for help.

“The evangelists came to the community to preach and they noticed the nature of the water we offered them to drink and take their bath with,” Abodunrin recalled.

“Later, they took the water to a lab in Lagos for a test and the result revealed that the water has high faecal contents. They promised to help and there (pointing to the direction of the project) we have this project by Tolu Odebiyi.”
Just like other sister communities, the pastor reported that it was a bunch of gruesome experiences before the two-tank borehole project was executed and yet, due to the non-availability of electricity in the community, they contribute money to power the generator, to pump water all the time.

While the communities have not confirmed any case, as of the time of filing this report, NCDC data shows that Ogun State has a total of 4,679 lab-confirmed cases of Covid-19 with 30 on admission, 4,600 discharged, and 49 deaths. The state also ranks 8th out of the 36 states of the country.

Scary Data

However, across the community, Dataphyte’s checks revealed that these communities do not have much problem accessing water during the rainy season, leading to how climate is a factor.

According to WaterAid, an international Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) focused on water, sanitation and hygiene, a fact-sheet stated that more than 60 million people in Nigeria do not have access to basic clean water supply, 12 million lack decent toilets and 167 million lack handwashing facilities with soap and water. It added that access to WASH services in rural communities is even more problematic, making this segment of the population far more vulnerable.

It predicted that with the current climate scenario, water scarcity will displace between 24 million and 700 million people, by 2030. Thus, by 2040, according to the UN, one in four children may be living in areas of extremely high water stress.

Data got from Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2018 also shows that between 2013 to 2018, the percentage of rural households where a place for washing hands was observed decreased from 37.1 per cent to 22.5 per cent, respectively.

The data also shows an increase in the percentage of the rural population with limited hand washing facilities from 56.3 per cent in 2013 to 62.7 per cent in 2018. Also, the percentage of cleansing agents other than soap available in rural communities decreased from 8.2 percent to 1 percent.

Ordinary drinking water

NEWSWater scarcity hits Abeokuta amid COVID-19 pandemic [PHOTOS]Published on December 20, 2021By Ishola Oludare


Residents of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, are currently facing hardship due to the unavailability of water for domestic use amid the deadly coronavirus pandemic, DAILY POST reports.

The need to stop the spread of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic has made regular handwashing an important routine for all and sundry.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and other agencies of government have recommended that individuals should wash their hands regularly with soap under running water within 20 seconds or more.

In Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, washing of hands is simply a difficult task owing to water scarcity.

“As the dry season sets in, water becomes very scarce for majority of us living in Abeokuta, making life more miserable for us. We are always like this during dry seasons”, Tunji Ougbemi, a resident of Isale-Igbein told our correspondent.

Despite the nations economic situation and the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown, many residents of the Ogun State capital said they spend about N10,000 monthly to buy water for their domestic use.

Our correspondent reports that majority of those who could not afford to buy water now search for the essential commodity, which is now as scarce as gold.



Trekking from one location to the other, residents of the ancient city were seen with jerrycans as they struggle to locate where water is available.

A student of one of the higher institutions in Abeokuta, who identified himself simply as Francis, said, “I usually wake up around 5am everyday to search for water. There is no water in Abeokuta. If you wake up by 7am, you may not bathe that day because there won’t be water in the wells any more. I am tired of this.”

Speaking further, Francis recalled that he used to wash his hands when there was water.

“From April last year, I used to wash my hands regularly as recommended by health officials in order to stop the spread of coronavirus. Then, there was water because rain was still falling. But, how do you expect me to wash my hands when there is no water to bathe, cook or do other things?” he queried.

Our correspondent also learnt that some locals now fetch water from unhygienic sources; defying warnings that they might contract cholera or other waterborne diseases.

In a tour round the ancient city, people were seen scooping water from broken water pipes in gutters.

Locals lamented that many of the public water taps provided by the government, as well as some boreholes built by politicians and NGOs in different locations are mere ‘decorations’.

From Ojere to Olokemeji, Oluwo, Adigbe, Onikolobo, Isale Igbehin, Sapon, Ake, Itoko Abiola Way, Ijemo, Asero, Obantoko, Lafenwa, Olomore, Ago Owu, Abiola Way, Kuto, Agbeloba and others, the story is the same.

Our Correspondent noticed that water wells seen in front of houses around these places are empty as though they were ordinary pits. But, residents explained that “the wells are more or less reservoirs because they only have water during rainy seasons.”

“Water has been a problem in Abeokuta from time immemorial. A larger percentage of the people cannot afford to dig boreholes or even wells.

Because I criticized that Mod he went and brought back this topic after removing it.

Ogun indigenes water from a dirty stream is real. This post has a link source you can verify.

Here one of the resident speak;

She says it usually takes hours for women in the community to fill their buckets with such coloured water. “We will sit there and wait. We will dig it deeper atimes. If we notice the water is coming out from one source, we scoop it into our buckets and take it home, then we can take our bath, wash our dirty clothes and make pap.”
This struggle to get water for cooking and house chores makes bathing optional in most households in Asaa.

Governor Dapo Abiodun must do the needful now, our people in Ogun state are suffering.

Hear what an indigene has to say on this matter;

She explains that, due to the difficulty of getting water to drink in the community, the members can stay days without taking their baths. According to her, the daily competition for water among women in the community has degenerated into an unhealthy rivalry.
