The sewage system on the other hand collect all dirty water from the houses and the factories, including toilet waste. The waste is sent to the water purification system where it is purified. This is a long process, but simple.
In Nigeria since we don’t have a drainage system our cities are often flooded anytime there it rains and we have to wait for God to dry it. However, God doesn’t bother about the poo we did. So what we do is instead of working together to create a solution every single house in a city has its own Septic tank to collect the dirty water. The problem is, it is not really a septic tank, in Nigerians it is called a sucker way.
A septic tank is a closed system and must not leak dirty water into the ground. However, a sucker way is designed to leak the water. If it leaks, the natural water processing process cannot clean it up before it gets to the reservoir deep under the ground called aquifers.
In Nigeria, everybody and the big man and the politician looter don’t have pure water coming into their house so rather than look for a collective solution, again each person digs a borehole. This borehole gets its water deep from the ground. Sometimes, these people outsmart themselves and dig a borehole next to his suck away. That is where the trouble starts.
Since the poo is allowed to leak into the ground, the water is not properly purified. Most of the pathogens that cause typhoid fever and other deadly diseases are allowed to sink into the aquifer therefore, contaminating the ground water. That is not the worse. The worst is, the mechanics through contaminated oil on the ground, the small factories pour all chemicals at the back of their small factory. This is what one of the causes the Cancer in Nigerian today not GMO yet. God allows all these to sink into the ground. Because, he created the laws that operate everything in the universe and he cannot change it for Nigerians despite the prayers.
The big man said he has a clean borehole so he drinks from the water. The other big man says no, I only drink Eva water, but he does brush his teeth with the water. Hmm. Genius. So when he gets cancer, he goes to church to pray for God to destroy his enemies. But God never really answers those prayers.
Now, because you have a city of over 500,000 households all draining their poo into the aquifer, the underground water is getting highly contaminate. Our cities are all sitting on a health time bomb. Because Nigerians are drinking their own poo.
