The African Diaspora: “Pure” Drinking Water in Nigeria

Scenes from Nigeria-  Pure Water

Benny @TheAbeng Africa

It’s water for the poor even though it’s not all the poor that can afford it. The price is 10 naira.
We also have tap water they sell in a bucket; one bucket is 10 or 20 Naira. People who can afford it will go for the tap water, while table water is 50 naira.

Because clean drinking water is often a problem for poor people, “Pure water” has been a means to sustain life in many part of Nigeria.

It’s also a means of livelihood – people sell it to earn a living. Even though I’m not 100 percent sure about the hygiene, I think it has helped so many lives.

Sometimes even the poorest people can afford it. And when you walk in some of the streets of Lagos, you will see pure water used packs everywhere; and, that is a sign that its helping lives.
