OGBANENU SPRING: ONE TO SAVE |
|---|
|
In this last report of my yuletide experience, I visited a spring water named Ogbanenu in Anaocha Village of Akpugoeze in Enugu State.
I went there in the company of my friend after I had requested to be taken to water bodies in the town. We arrived Ogbanenu spring water on 31st December 2014 and the route to the spring were indeed natural. The Ogbanenu spring I saw was a small water body that serves a fraction of the Anaocha people with hilly topography and some nice vegetation. It's tributaries were very insignificant, or at most hardly existed. This, friend(now turned tour-guide) said was contrary to what it used to be. According to him, the spring used to be full of life, blooming with water and tributaries. He said it used to serve many people in the town- who use the water to solve their drinking needs- while also housing aquatic lives. The aquatic life,as of the time I visited, was none existent. I sought to find out the reason for the decline in the spring's live and my friend said that no one cares for the spring again, no repairs and the environment too is overlooked. This may have been due to the possible exodus of some young villagers- that used to take care of the spring- to the city and now, no one wants to do the job or the available elders lacks the energy to care of the spring. Nonetheless, I will try my best to make sure that the Ogbanenu spring not just exists but blooms.

Sad to know the dwindling state of Ogbanenu spring. Glad to see that you are willing to take it up and ensure that it blooms again.
I agree with Bindu that you should try to write to local newspapers to highlight the issue and draw the attention of authorities concerned.

Saddened to hear the deteriorated condition of Ogbanenu spring.
Why not you please publish this article in newspaper so attract the public attention in this serious matter?
I am proud to hear your determination to do action for blooming the spring that just exists. I wish you all the best. Cheers :)

Depressing to note the depleting state of Ogbanenu spring.
We hope, UDEH, as promised, you will take remedial actions to make it bloom once again.
All the best.
