Introduction
My name is Pastor Ferdinand Nmeka, the pastor in charge of Divine Result Evangelical Church (AKA
Divine Result Assembly) situated at plot 137 Babs Animashaun road , off Bode Thomas street Suru
Lere Lagos Nigeria. I grew up in a rural community in Alude Ibeme, Ugiri, Isiala Mbano LGA Imo
state Nigeria. I am 55 years old. In this paricular community called Alude Ibeme, while we were
growing up, there was no electricity or pipe borne water as this was applicable to all the
communities in Ugiri constituency. We used to trek to and fro for approximately 30KM ( Thirty
kilometers) from my kindred to the only stream that serves the whole of Ugiri constituency till date
.As I write the gullies that surround the sfream are more than three story building each. The road
is slippery and almost impassable, full of wild animals and reptiles. Many times there were
efforts made by different governments both military and civilian regimes to provide pipe born
water to this constituency to no avail. As a matter of fact it has always been a perennial
campaign promise since 1999 when democracy was reintroduced in Nigeria.Yet all these communities
are yet to see any dividend of democracy in this direction.
This stream popularly called Mbaa river continues to be the only source of water for drinking and
washing to the entire constituency till date. Though some individual efforts have been made to dig
boreholes but the cost of maintenance has been a huge challenge . Though the constituency is said
to be electrified but it is on record that they have guaranteed power supply less than one hour,
two or three times a year. Those who have boreholes now resort to selling the water for about 20
Naira per keg which is a huge amount to the rural dwellers to afford on daily basis
I have always had the desire to solve this problem for this constituency but paucity of funds has
been the bane. However in the year 2013 Divine result evangelical church decided to start a pilot
project of pipe borne water provision in Alude Ibeme . We opened a borehole that has been
providing FREE drinkable water for at least 5 neighboring kindreds 24hrs daily. For the past 5
years we have made sure ( at a great cost though) that there is constant water supply for these
nearby kindreds which are Alude, Umuezeala Oka, Umuwuoha Oka, Amaorji and Ituohia kindreds all in
Imo state Nigeria. Because of the overwhelming testimonies that keep flowing from these kindreds,
we have had the increased desire to extend this gesture to many other kindreds in Ugiri
constituency but it has not been possible due to paucity of funds. In 2016 I was moved to tears
when one of the kindreds assembled both men and women to pay me a thank you visit. They brought
heads of plantain, palm oil etc just to thank God and mysel
Cost implications per kindred for the 50 kindreds
1) Cost of drilling the borehole per kindred ---------------------- $ 7,500
2) Water storage ( reservoir) including steel stands and eight 1000
liter containers per kindred ---------------------------------------------------------$6000
3) Electricity ( Solar energy preferable) per village-----------------------------$75,000
4) Staff emolument per kindred average of five workers at $200 ( Two hundred) per month for 1
calendar year --------------------------------------------------------------$12,000
5) Emoluments for supervisory staff of minimum 10 workers at $300( three hundred) per month for a
year ------------------------------------------------------- $36,000
In case it will be possible to provide water for the 50 kindreds, the following must be put in place
6) Cost of a plot of land for office space , ------------------------------------------$20,000
7) cost of building a supervisory office space -----------------------------------$100,000
8) Office furniture and maintenance-------------------------------------------------$20,000
9) supervisory vehicles 2 Hilux trucks 4x4 (2.8 diesel 6 SP Man) --------$116,880
10) Incidentals------------------------------------------------------------------------------$15,000
The above stated proposal is what it takes to give pipe borne water to a kindred. The supervisory
expenses are what will be needed to coordinate the entire 50 kindreds in Ugiri constituency . The
above given information is verifiable. If this proposal is kindly considered I will make available
Divine result evangelical church domiciliary account for remittances as decided by the sponsors.
Thanks
