A youth corps member has lamented his inability to report to his Place of Primary Assignment (PPA) after failing to access water for a bath. According to him, residents of the community locked their well, believing the water inside was limited.
In a post shared on his page via the popular social media platform X, formerly Twitter, he revealed the name of the state where the incident occurred.
He explained that the residents decided to secure their well out of fear that the water supply might run out.
As a result, he was unable to fetch water for his morning routine and had to miss work at his PPA.
He wrote:
"I couldn't bathe, so I didn't go to my PPA today. I woke up and everyone locked their konga (well) because they feel like the water inside is limited. Chai. Wetin I never see for Yoruba Land? Me wey get my own river for Bayelsa."
His post sparked reactions from concerned individuals, who took to the comment section to share their thoughts.

@i_am_dexterous: "Ekiti is on the rocks. Water is a scarce commodity in the dry season. If they didn't lock it, you still won't meet water inside. Because people would've rushed and finished it. I served in Ondo, so I know. Buy a container to keep water in. You'll survive."
@YeyeOba001: "Seems you lack a good understanding of geography. But since you want to be mischievous, congratulations."
@BabatundeB97491: "Bayelsa the most poorest state in southern Nigeria Or which bayelsa? nobody force you down here, Borno didn't lock their border pls do the necessary."
@deoyesalem: "Be rest assured that it is not in any way targeted at you or anyone else for that matter. There are places in Ibadan and Abeokuta and even on the Mainland in Lagos that experience such scarcity especially between October and February. It's a natural occurrence."
@9jabadger: "This is a common practice 4 houses wit well as their source of water and nt borehole during dry season like this in Lagos and other southwest states. Nobody did this bcoz a certain foreigner from another tribe is in their midst, it's desperate times calls 4 desperate measures."
@Christo44244375: "Not everywhere in Yorubaland oga.For many places in Yorbuland, water don't dry up all through the year. I also experienced it when serving in Minna."
