A social media commentator, named certified courtist took to his facebook page this morning addressing the recent collapse of the water tank in Ogoniland which was commissioned four days ago. He wrote When I woke up this morning, I was expecting to see a letter of resignation from the Project Coordinator Prof. Nenibarini Zabbey and BOT Chairman Emmanuel Deeyah of HYPREP, over the recent collapse of the water tank which they commissioned four days ago.

What is further sad is that, this project was executed in the community of the BOT Chairman. The BOT Chairman could not put his eyes down to make sure the right mate...
