Tribute To Long Suffering Nigerians For What They Put Up With From Their Leaders by ThamesWater: 10:42pm On Mar 23, 2022
Tribute to Long suffering Nigerians for what they Put up with from their Leaders

I was at home tonight and I turned on the Taps in the kitchen and the water pressure was low and eventually stopped flowing (both hot and cold taps).

I checked the taps in the bathroom and hot was dry and cold still had some water running.

Immediately I went onto Thames Water website and lo and behold this now private water company that supplies most of London with water had already updated their website stating the post codes where there was outage and this included my post code and they stated that their specialist engineers were already on the case.

I was a bit amazed that they were that fast to identify the outage and honest enouh to update their website with the exact postal code areas affected by the burst water mains.

The fact that i pay approx £38 a month in water bill to them did not even cross my mind as to be the reason why they were that quick to respond and then with honesty on their website.

What crossed my mind was the 2 years I spent in Naija from 2006-2008 trying my hands at relocation and the fact that the utility companies do not take Nigerians serious and they get away with blue murder in terms of their abysmal service.

When you now extrapolate that to the extreme corruption of ALL our politicians who have stolen Nigerians blind and still want to continue stealing from the common treasury until majority of Nigerians become prostrate with hunger, poverty, frustration and desperation that has led a lot of Nigerians to commit suicide then I have to say Kudo's to long suffering Nigerians for what thay have to put up with from companies, service providers, utility companies, police, army, lastma, VIO, FRSC, Customs, Billionaire Area boys and worst of all the devilishly corrupt Nigerian politicians who superintend over the whole messy situation.

In the 33 years that I have lived in London, today (23 March 2022) is just the 3rd time that I have suffered water outage in my abodes - 1st time was around 1993 for a few hours and i was compensated with a £50 by Thames water to cover any food damage in the freezer, 2nd time was around 2019 and it was restored withing 2 hours, 3rd time is today an Thames water had already posted it and the steps they were taking to fix the burst pipes on their website and if it lasts up to 24 hours which i seriously doubt they will have to pay a £20 compensation to each household affected and this will run into millions with interest charged if the payment is late.

I discovered today's outage around 8.30 pm tonight and by the time I logged onto Thames water website to make a complaint, they were already on the case with the areas affected listed transparently on their website. Its 9.27pm and they are still working on it in the full knowledge that the street lights work 24/7, their engineers are safe as the 24/7 electricity means there is always someone out and about at any time of the day and night plus the fear of the 691,000 CCTV Cameras dotted around London is enough to deter all but the most hardened and/or drug addicted criminal who will not attack the Thames water engineers anyway.

Research by CCTV.co.uk concludes that in London there is now 1 CCTV Camera for every 13 people , meaning there are now 691,000 CCTV Cameras in London and the average Londoner is caught on CCTV 300 times a day .
https://www.cctv.co.uk/how-many-cctv-cameras-are-there-in-london/

How long can Nigerians bear the unnecessary hardship inflicted upon them by these hearless criminals parading as politicians.

With all our religiosity in Nigeria, how come it is the corrupt politicians and their cronies and area boy enforcers that are progressing financially whilst the masses (very religious) are wallowing in ABJECT poverty and why has God not come to the aid on Nigerians ?? Is all their faith in vain ??

The UK is a country which has a largely atheist population yet most of Britons display consideration for others and a willingness to do something for the greater good of their fellow citizen and country because they feel it it the right thing to do and most of Brits do not believe in God.

I shouldn't even start with Nepa as that is a different kettle of fish. In the UK you pay through your nose for electricity but in my 33 years of living in London I think I have only experience power outage about 2 times - 2012 and around 2018 and it lasted around 15 minutes and 30 minutes respectively and was caused by road construction workers hitting a cable with their drills.

Once again I say Tribute to Long suffering Nigerians for what they Put up with from their Leaders

Rant over.

I just hope some Nigerians will not sell their votes for 500 Naira again in 2023.

Honestly sir majority of Nigerians are docile because if not,how can a few people plunge millions into perpetual poverty and misery to the extent that what is supposed to be seen as a necessity has become a luxury, no tangible infrastructure, no good road, education is at it's lowest ebb, insecurity is on the rise, crime is at all time high as well as inflation.
Now most families can't afford two square meals in a country that is blessed with enough natural resources that if properly managed will make Nigeria the Envy of most nations on earth..I really weep for this country
