Boreholes: The Dungeon Of Disaster To Our Contemporary Society

Boreholes: The Dungeon Of Disaster To Our Contemporary Society. 

Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere, writes. 

The dividend of democracy to a serious and a concerned leader must be her utmost priorities- devoid of tribalism or favoritism. Infrastructural advances, stable power supply, quality education, and excellent health care service should be the order of the day. Because these are void vessels he vowed to fill prior to his political installation: Catering for our welfarism must not be viewed as a liability to a responsible leader.

It amazes me a lot when the aforementioned dividends are experienced in some parts of the country that has the privilege to experience the productive spring of national development, still celebrate their supposed entitlements- provided that they play their civic role as disciple citizens. At the other end, they still continue subscribing to fictitious myths of usual unbelievable falsehood.

However, I still do not know where exactly we have missed the road or who we actually offended as a nation that insists to inflict us this resplendence pain. On a serious note, if we are to change things about the government, we have to pay much attention to who we should entrust our leadership thrones. It's high time we allowed merit to prevail over politics; we need not a figure-headed leader but the one with functioning brain and visionary trait, whose current activities will not deter or distort our future prospects. 

The increase in the drilling of Boreholes in the states is quite alarming that needs urgent attention. It has now become a pointer of development to every community and a symbol of philanthropic smiles to charity from NGOs and private bodies. Although! No one is disputing the dutiful fact and purported purpose of the development, but it is somewhat described as the right move but in the seemingly wrong direction. 

The prevalence of this social intervention in our contemporary societies is uncalled-for. Most especially in our tertiary institutional environment where single hostel can be proud to have two drilled Boreholes at a time, independent boreholes in our estates and private residents; commercial water companies, and continual drilling of Boreholes for community projects across the federation. To some extent, it needs to be disapproved because of its future implications.

Drilling of Boreholes has a lot of negative effects including water contamination as a result of unmanaged surface groundwater. The seismographic wave could result in small and large earthquakes, vanishing moisture in the soil, and environmental pollution originating from the commercial water companies and indiscriminate disposal of sachet water and many more. 

Mitigating the negative consequences indeed requires urgent effective actions. Firstly, the government should transform the construction of dams to ensure everyone is accessible to portable clean water. Secondly, there should be strict laws to be imposed on any indiscriminate drilling of Boreholes in the country. Thirdly, instead of drilling boreholes, it can safely be replaced by well waters with minimal effect. Lastly, the concerned authorities shouldn't fail to play their usual responsibility enacting the limitations of Boreholes meant to be in a locality.

On a final note, Boreholes are with no modicum of doubt an essential need and a significant sign of community development; because water is a universal basis of life. As important it is (borehole), it has a limitation that need not be abused because of its dangerous future prospect. Therefore, there is a need to quench this detrimental domestic culture to a bearest minimum in our communities. Our communities are our homes, workplaces, schools, and recreational centers that need not be distorted for temporary vantage because there lies our continual sustainability.

YOU DIDN'T PROMISE TO DISAPPEAR TOO SOON.

YOU DIDN'T PROMISE TO DISAPPEAR TOO SOON. Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere, writes. Indeed, life is not a home for we are strangers. No mater the background, our earthly stay is ephemera. We have seen parents died leaving behind an hopeless daughter. And a striving son untimely buried by the wealthless father. Unitarily we will be catched as a prey by death, the human scavenger. . Silently you came to whisper the song of love to my listening ear. Publicly you practically show that you will always be there. You fight my fight at my back without been aware. Tactically you detained my lingering worries and fears. Assiduously you challenged the annoying ache that could bring tears. . For this reason,I was romantically diven into the pool of love. I was charged to ensure relationship thrive with romantic flavour. I did all I could to ensure we are compatible to form eternal bond. And from the start you have always been a responsible man of valour. I became the oxygen to the burning fire of

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES. BY: IBRAHEEM OLASUNKANMI QOSEEM from Kwara State University, Malete.                     NEED FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Dear Ma,          It is with embitterment of mind that I write this protracted letter to you. As I have seen and still experience the bewildered mysteries that run gamut of suffering, incessant pain and continual epileptic seasoned experience as a result of our predisposition to biological threat due to negligence and selfish cry for global standard and wanton recognitions. I still wonder why conservation matters are ensued in conspiracy  when the responsibility is meant for all. I believe it is high time we took a thorough hygiene towards attaining the giant stride in the conservation of its lost glory. Biodiversity, in simple expression, simply means life on Earth. It is a span time through which biological entities ranging from human, plants, microorgani

HE WHO SEEKS JUSTICE MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS! Al-Qo'simy hernnany Atere writes. Are you clean? First check yourself out. Bukhari's theory still remains the best and only remedy to our decaying society in all helms of our affairs. though! The theory failed to effectively manifested may be because of the intention. As a nation apart from some loopholes that need critical reviews and evaluations: the likes of the principle(Constitution) that bounded us together in one entity as a country instead of nationhood that failed to manifested in us by the predecessors who fought for Independence. Other termites that had plagued the polity's regalia to an extent such as corruption, terrorism, tribalism, avalanches of educated illiterate and common illiterates, selfishness, robbery kidnapping and many others. The only antidote to our long affected sores is the theory propounded by our incubent president" The change begin with me and you". If actually this was al
