REALITY DON'T TELL LIES


 IIn the crystal ball of reality. Poverty is something that continues to live like plague in every corner of ghetto wall. Nothing is worse than seeing people living like this in the society of abundance. 
This is a street I was able to visit months ago, were little children from poor homes fetching unhygienic water from a broken pipe in a contaminated place. 

The very moment I saw this, I was soak with pity, watching how they were seriously fetching the dirt water, while catching their fun with riddles and jokes among their selves while other communal activities were going on.

In the dailies, it is the same song sang by the government, that billions of dollars have been spend to create social amenities for the people. But, in reality, what we see is the opposite of life, as people continue to live in deep pain of survival, to get clean water.

Having affordable clean water in many ghetto homes and communities has been a major challenge for people to have. The necessity of having this amenities is far away from reach. People on their own strive to get water because they can’t live without drinking it, use for cooking, and for other domestic usage of their life.

This is why sicknesses like cholera and other harmful diseases gotten from unclean treated water always affect this other world. And when these sicknesses begin to hit harder on the poor in this world, the money to go hospital becomes a serious ache in the heart, because it is very hard for people below average income to go to the hospital for medical treatment. 

Realistically, the claims by the government to be saying people will have water in this millennium, or they have provided clean affordable water for people, reality itself doesn’t lie from this picture which explains the precise living condition of people in Nigeria.
 
This is an eye opener of seeing the terrible nature of people desperately in need of water, which is a basic social amenity in a society, where naturally abundance is no more human problem. But the kind of government running the public affairs of Nigeria, remain what has being hold back the provision of clean hygiene water for the people to run 24hours.

Not having this thing in place continue to unveil why people have to go to the length of fetching water from the earth in order to quench dry throat. This further exposes the government boast of providing water in their various constituency as claimed by public office holders in Nigeria. 

This also proof that if government had provided clean water in the country, people won't be going for such as displayed in the picture to fetched water. But because reality is an eye opener for the world to see, there is no way reality can lie itself to say there is water when in reality no clean in this country.
