I mean what is life without water? What can we do without water? I was listening to my mom this morning when she said there was no water in the tank again and my sister should go and pump it, without water we can't cook, eat, bath or wash cloth or even drink, we would have been dead by now without water.

During that last semester, it was dry season and our well in the hostel wasn't having enough water too,it was difficult, we started managing water, the most painful part is we do wake up as early as 3am and still not see enough water to draw out of the well because some people would have woken up before then and fetch the water, anybody who wakes up in the morning to come and fetch water there will have to go outside the compound to fetch water at other hostels.

It was a outside school hostel so it wasn't just for female alone but also for male too, sometimes when you fetch water and you don't lock it inside your room before you even say jack Robinson!! Your water would have disappeared, it's always painful, most times it's always the guys that do steal other people's water.

After that period,I left for another house that has enough water even during dry season,I hate looking for water up and down, sometimes some of my hostel mate will be begging for one bowl of water to cook indomie, just one bowl,it would have been awful if there was no water at all to cook.

I have come to a conclusion that we can't live this life without water,we drink water after eating or whenever we are thirsty,when we want to take our bath,when we want to use the toilet,when we want to wash our clothes,hair, personal things,dishes and all. We use water for virtually everything in this life.

So what can we do without water? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
