Limamai: A Community Where Water Is ‘Golden’ Feature
It is a herculean task to take a ride from Kano to Badume – Kwanar Yakasai, Kantakara to Laraba, Unguwar Kudu Ingawa to Limamai Village where the famous “Alaramma Mai Wake” local well is situated due to a bad road.Historically, the people of this area have relied so much on the well for over hundred years being the only source of water. And even before then, since time immemorial, they have been battling with water scarcity for unaccountable years.
According to him, water in Limamai Community is under the district head of Kuku. According to the old man, water is just like gold in a “London Shop.” He said no grown-up child in this community has the privilege of going to school due to water scarcity. “ Most of the people from this community have relocated to other places due to the perennial water shortage.
“We try to portray our battered social condition before our political leaders but they seem only concerned with their personal agendas. They won’t step their foot here unless for campaign purposes and once it’s over, you hardly can see any one of them return to the area. A resident, Lami Ahmad told this reporter that “she cannot recall the number of days she leaves without taking her bath for a whole week. This is to the extent that lack of water could ruin our lives as women from this community.
