A Nigerian woman has recounted how she restricted water supply to members of her community after accusing them of collecting money from politicians during elections instead of voting based on their preferred candidates.
In a video shared online, the woman explained that she had been supplying water to several households in her community for years because the area lacked access to water and good roads.
According to her, some residents collected ₦15,000 while others received ₦20,000 during governorship and local government elections, with financial incentives allegedly influencing their voting decisions.
However, she expressed frustration that the same residents returned to depend on her for water after spending the money they received during the elections.
The woman explained that she pays for the meter and pumps water herself, insisting that she is not the government responsible for providing basic amenities.
Angered by the situation, she said she decided to restrict the water supply and advised the residents to approach the government they had collected money from.
“Go and cry to your government. The government that you’ve collected ₦20k from. How can you cry to the government to give you water, road and light when they’ve already paid you ₦20k naira? The ₦20k they gave you, that is your children’s future. The things that your children are supposed to benefit,” she lamented.
She argued that the money residents collected during the elections represented opportunities their children could have benefited from through better roads, electricity, water supply, scholarships and healthcare.
The woman maintained that she would no longer bear the burden of providing water for residents she accused of compromising their children’s future for financial gain.
