Exploitative Water Trade: Profiting At The Expense Of Basic Human Needs By Manasseh B.P

In the heart of our bustling cities, a silent injustice thrives – the buying and selling of bags of water. Traders procure these vital lifelines for a mere N400 per bag, only to hawk them individually for N50 each, yielding a staggering profit of N600 per bag. But beyond the numbers lies a grave question that rattles the very core of our moral compass: How else can we define wickedness?

Let us peel back the layers of this seemingly innocuous trade to reveal the stark reality beneath. While some may see it as a simple business venture, it embodies a harsh truth – the pursuit of profit at the expense of human dignity. In a nation where millions struggle to access clean drinking water, turning a profit from this essential resource is not just a transaction; it’s a betrayal of our collective humanity.

But let us not dwell solely on the injustices. Instead, let us harness the power of this revelation to ignite a revolution – a revolution of compassion, solidarity, and justice. For the true measure of a society lies not in its wealth, but in its ability to uplift the most vulnerable among us.

Imagine a world where access to clean water is not a privilege reserved for the few, but a right guaranteed to all. Picture a future where every individual, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can quench their thirst without fear of exploitation. This is not a distant dream; it is a vision within our grasp.

To achieve this vision, we must challenge the status quo and confront the systems of oppression that perpetuate inequality. We must demand accountability from those who seek to profit from the basic needs of our fellow citizens. And we must stand in solidarity with the marginalized and disenfranchised, amplifying their voices and advocating for their rights.

But above all, we must believe in the power of collective action to effect real change. History has shown us time and again that when ordinary people come together in pursuit of a common goal, they have the power to reshape the world. Let us be the architects of a new era – an era where compassion triumphs over greed, and justice prevails over oppression.

So I implore you, my fellow citizens, to join me in this noble cause. Let us rise up and demand a future where access to clean water is not a luxury, but a fundamental human right. Together, we can build a world where no one is left behind – a world where water flows freely for all.
