Aliade is a rural community located in Benue State with an estimated population of about 500,000-800,000 inhabitants.
Aliade Community
The Aliade community suffers from two major issues: (1) Access to clean water and (2) waste management. Women and children are forced to walk for hours to get water and when they finally find it, it is unclean and full of bacteria that can cause waterborne diseases. Also, the community lacks a proper waste management system which contributes to a variety illnesses.
Access to clean water
Our solution to their water problem is to build boreholes in various parts of the community.
Waste Management
We will create a system where a waste company will come to the community periodically to clear out the trash dumped on the streets.

“Our major source of water is a river located 9km away. We collect the water by digging shallow wells by the river side.”
While listing on the Adoka community in Benue state, we were told the people have not had access to clean water for years. 👎🏾
They have asked their representatives for help but despite promises, nothing has been done.
Another reason why we must vote leaders that will work for us! 🗣

We went to the Okorogbo community and educated the people on their rights as voters. 🗳
Many people said they do not have PVC’s because they do not believe their votes will count.
This is the mindset of many Nigerians and we all have the power to change it.
Change starts with you! Are you listening and educating the people in your community?

Another attack and more lives lost to this country.
Our schools are unsafe, our roads are unsafe, our homes are unsafe, and even our trains are unsafe. When will we have enough?
Our deepest condolences go out to all those who lost their loved ones during this attack. 🕊
Now more than ever, we need people who truly want change to join a party! ✊🏾
There are so many reasons why it is important to join a political party, but here’s 4! 👉🏾

Tell us again why you still haven’t gotten your PVC’s? 🥺

It is in this dilapidated and outright dangerous building that the children in Konshisha, Benue state go to learn. (Swipe 👉🏾)
While listening in the Tse- Agberagba community, the people spoke of their children having to sit on the floor to learn in a building that is falling apart.
No child should be forced to learn in these horrific conditions. Where are the people elected to represent this constituency?

Can you say the same for our leaders? 🤷🏾♀️
If we don’t vote the right leaders, we will never have leaders that want to fight for us.
Get your #pvc and vote!

Despite promises from all of their leaders, the people in the Ifelodun community in Epe, Lagos state have not had electricity for 15 years!
According to their community spokesperson, all of their elected representatives (including @hon_waleraji and Hon. Oguntelu Oluwadahunsi) have promised to fix the issue but have done nothing.
Yet another reason why your #pvc is important! Its 2022 - let’s start calling these leaders out and holding them accountable.

Our very own Escobar at the top of the system? We have hit a new low ➡️
Can we finally implement local policing? Or do we need more Kyaris to force us to decentralize the police system.
